1 month agoI'm SO relieved to see that Murderbot's inner dialogue was kept in the show. Hollywood tends to hate narration so they find ways around using it, but most of my favorite books are in first person and something is lost in translation when that voice is missing. Hearing a character's thoughts creates an immediate intimacy and this story just wouldn't be the same without it.
