fiction by lara parker which seem to exist in their own DS universe.
Gee, ya think.
Especially when, in one blatant instance, she took a scene word for word, action for action from the original series BUT also added a few lines of her own dialogue to it - and her little addition managed to completely changed the way the scene originally played and what it was originally intended to convey to the audience. That made laughable any initial claims that her books would be faithful renditions of the original series and could easily fit into it.
I would go so far as to say that to me, each of the two feature films feels strongly as if it establishes its own canon, but that position might strike most as too extreme--that IS how it feels to me though.
I can see that. For example, I've often wondered why David didn't inherit Collinwood rather than Quentin. But then, I can also see why David may not have wanted to ever inherit the house, given what happened there in the first film, and perhaps he told Liz as much, so she put Quentin in the will. Though we'll never really know because it's a subject that's never touched upon...
As for the comic, I haven't received my copy yet. It was sent out several days ago, but it still has yet to arrive...
