Yeah, I saw the movie too. It was ok, but I like the series better. Same goes for Stargate. The movie was pretty good, the Stargate SG-1 sci-fi series is awesome! I have the book for The Dead Zone, but haven't really gotten around to reading it yet. From what you've read, how close is it to the movie?

Alright.. here we go... the mediums for book and TV are completely different. First of all, the movie ran out of plot in the series after (i think) episode 7. The movie was not that fulfilling for me, partly because I think Christoper Walken chooses interesting roles, and he was great as Johnny Smith. EDIT: The show appears to be finding ways to plot-twist without success, as the first "case" for Season 3 is over... We shall see what comes next. As for Stargate, the movie meant to show a specific plot. "Stargate SG-1" is similar to "Sliders" (the surprising 5 season run starring Jerry O'Connell and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). First let me state that I envy Jerry, because he married Giuliana DePandi... from "E! News Live". Stargate SG-1 is going to have an interesting next season, not solely because they decided for a spinoff, "Atlantis".. but that their main hero is frozen. Aside from that, I enjoy "The Dead Zone" mainly becase it shows some of the possibilities that we humans can be up to in the future. EDIT: More talking about Dead Zone!!
