The "DNA" of the books and the Prime series are similar, like 98%, but like chimpanzes and humanity that similarity can be significantly different. Not in a bad way, in fact for me quite the opposite (I love the Prime series), but just different. It will be very interesting to if/how the transition between books 5 and 6 is handled if the series continues on Prime.

My understanding is that season six will be the last, and Cas Anvar will not be in it.

Going to have to do A LOT of catching up if they want to represent all nine books.

S5 so far is okay. A little slow and annoying. Nit much really going on of interest. And really hating the shohreh actress. She is so terrible in everything I've seen her in. Not sure why she keeps getting roles. The whole cast this season is generally unlikeable so far except for amos.

Today's episode was the least exciting, so far, of this season.
Building up to to it, I'm sure.

Watched two more episodes. Okay I think I'll stick with it.

Vudu has the first 4 seasons, but you have to buy them. For all four seasons it will cost $110 for HDX (hi-res; 1080), and $80 for SDX (low res). Vudu probably won't get season 5 until December.

Turns out the wife has Amazon Prime already. What do I know??

Watched the first two episodes yesterday. Believe I saw some of the second ep years ago when it was originally on Syfy and we still had cable.

I'll try to keep plugging away at it, since it interests me, though my attention span for following a whole series is very low these last years.

Like many sci-fi series, including most of the Star Treks, it is a bit slow at first. It picks up and goes nuts, so keep at it. It’s some of the best sci-fi I’ve seen in a long time.
