    So... What's everyone-elses' opinion of it so far? I like it overall, but then
    again I liked the comic-book. It's definitely more "pulp-adventure" (a la Indiana Jones) than horror.

    I'll have to wait until it is released on Blu ray but from what I've
    seen it does look like a worth while watch.

    kind of enjoying it but each epsiode seems rather far removed from the
    previous after the second - very schizophrenic.

    The comic book is something different, isn't it? The series is based on a (great) novel. The book is definitely more "Dreamlands" Lovecraft
    than "existential terror" Lovecraft.

    That's right, although the two kind of go hand-in-hand. Have you read "Return to Arkham"?

    I was kinda pleasantly surprised at the inclusion of the minor two-spirit/trans character. I figured that that would get brushed by the wayside.

    I haven't watched any of it yet. I'm just burnt out on race/racism
    centered stories right now. Of course I'm being ridiculously inconsistent, since I thought that the Watchmen series was the best thing I saw all year.

    Horror needs to reflect the time-period in which it was made to truly be effective.

    True enough, but at this point I need a break from the times in question.
    I get plenty of reality already, so I'm leaning more toward escapism in my entertainment.
