Current Talk '24 I / Re: Boardindex Page Montage/aka 'Book 1'?
« on: May 13, 2018, 07:56:29 PM »If the book had come out a year earlier or came out on a more timely basis, these little tangents would have been a lot easier to digest. They add little to the overall story, nor do they really add much to the "what happened during the gap in the miniseries" , a plot thread that seems far more important to the writers than it did to the readers
Given things that Campiti intimated, I suspect that such tidbits as Liz being Vicki's mother and another thing concerning Liz that's upcoming were dropped into Book 1 to lay the foundations for things they'd planned to fully explore once they reached Book 5, Issue 1 (issue 17) and beyond. You're certainly correct, though, that with the exception of the Barnabas/Willie flashbacks (and the creation of the music box, which has only been touched on very briefly so far, but will be coming back to the forefront soon) the new stuff does little to explore and/or expand the story the '91 Series had already laid out.
