Looks beautiful. Have they addressed the obvious Octavia Butler inspiration???

Yeh, the shot with the plane slipping in and out of existence make it seem like it might be reality and time unravelling or something. Either way, HEAVILY inspired lol

Yeah that's the first thing I thought about. One of those books I read and never forgot about.

Right?

Speaking of, when am I getting that Kindred adaptation I so desperately need?

[firstknivesclub]

I can’t wait for the Wild Seed series

Right! And I mean a real Kindred adaptation. Not some wussy afraid to go there version. I love that book. Although come to think of it, maybe I don't really want an adaptation Dana, Rufus, Luke, Nigel, all the Weylins...shoot all of them are so fleshed out in my mind, that I would probably be disappointed by the casting choices from the get-go.

MTE - I can’t believe Kindred hasn’t been adapted yet.
