I think it was a bit more than normal, but part of that is probably the 20/20 hindsight that our conversations were regularly being listened to by US government branches, let alone a species with advanced technology, that only made the news when I was in like, 8th grade. But yeah, some of those plotholes could actually be done better than they were back then.
I guess really I'm glad the fandom isn't dead yet.
Yeeeeaaaaaaaah, so many plotholes and mistakes from those factors. And later in the series, people would accidentally project facts from the TV shows onto the book series, e.g. in one book Jake is a Bengal tiger (what they use in the TV show, if I recall correctly) whereas in book one it's a Siberian tiger, very specifically, the largest of the big cats.
(Bengal tigers are the smallest subspecies of tiger. A Bengal tiger isn't going up against a lion.)
They admitted they didn't do a series bible before starting and since they churned out a book per month they and the ghost authors probably only had like a week or two to really work on it, so I don't really blame them. But I'd like to see it get more effort in this day and age.
But for movies, they're probably going to have to cut out stories like David and Aftran completely. The stories took place over multiple years, there's just so much to try to cram into movies.
That's by a series of movies would be great, David could have his own movie and Aftran would be a bit part in a couple movies before getting her own. it would be cool but sadly not to likely. Can Netflix just make it a series?
If they make it a movie and it's successful... Maybe Netflix would make a TV show?
I sort of agree though I feel like a lot of Netflix book-to-film does pretty well. Ah, it could be kickass. But I keep just being so happy it's not dead!
