Coincidentally, I watched the miniseries over the last couple nights. I thought it was well done, and obviously must have been updated from the original. Great action and interweaving of plotlines. A great ride!

However, some of the character development/history was so sketchy, it might as well have been just left out. I'm guessing it was a more crucial part of the book, that was only touched upon in the series. And I was a little confused as to why Dr. Chou died at the bottom of a conduit in a pool of mysterious liquid. After all, he climbed down there and then--for some unknown reason--jumped into the vat. He could have just as easily grabbed Keane and hauled him over to do the anticipated deed. Also, I though Benjamin Bratt was miscast for the lead. I thought a scientist that was so widely respected to head up this team would have been a little more believable as someone older. I just couldn't identify with his character.
