The last five minutes were it goes through what happened in the months after just left me dumbfounded. Reaction was some mixture of laughter and head shaking.

Yeah was shaking my head in disbelief as well. The female Mayor sacks the police chief and brings a new one in. Three months later he’s getting done for fraud. A few months after that she’s done for tax fraud and jailed. Baltimore all over.

It's not necessarily stuff like casting etc. that bother me it's just the main storyline - it's not like they've gone a different way to shorten it for the series as you'd argue there are as many main events in the comics as in the series, maybe even more in the series. A small collection of the things I hate:

- What they did with Stillwell who is my favourite character in the comics
- What they did with Vic the Veep
- Stormfront
- What I suspect they'll do with Black Noir
- Jack from Jupiter getting canned (suspect this was a money thing on the CGI)
- Frenchie & Kimiko getting some sort of love arc
- Waiting 3 seasons to give The Boys a taste of compound V and then giving them in with ludicrous powers

Ugh, just annoys me. They should have just made the show animated and followed the comics. Like I just don't see how they can finish the show the same way they do in the comics now.

Good points, and there's always plenty of casualties in the script when they translate into real life.

One of the main things in Pre-Production is the intersection of the script, the schedule and actor availability believe it or not. It's when writers write scenes that don't fit together into a working day, and a First and a Director need to batter it into shape. That can mean big changes. What wastes time during the day are 'Unit moves' where there's not enough to shoot in one location in a day and the trucks that took an hour to park up, level, power, water now need to packed and moved and re-set up again. Any Unit Assistant could do anywhere from 14 - 18 hour days. Broken turnarounds (you technically need 10 hours rest before being back on set) are industry standard.

The practical aspects of filming always appear seamless on the screen, where as the true nature of getting it there is chaotic, fragile and breaks many a good crew member.
 
I've just witnesssed one of the most disgraceful scenes in a drama for years: that community scene in Sherwood near the end.

The scab's gospel put forward.

Biggest scab whitewash since Jimmy McGovern's dock strike drama.

David Kopite Morrissey - shame on you.
