The thing is...
I feel like the going back and forth in time thingy was sort of just a KNOWN format in the books...
Like I haven't read them, but that's just what I assume.
I assume that the time jumping was just a given in the book and the readers totally knew what the hell was going on.
Whereas with the show it's like...
There was LITERALLY NO DIFFERENTIATION between the characters in the past, and the characters decades later.
They looked exactly the same and there was nothing else that would suggest we were supposed to know they were jumping around in time.
Like okay, yeah, they said things like 'decades have passed' or whatever, but in my opinion, that really just wasn't good enough.
For the people who have never read the books or even heard of the game before (basically everyone, come on), there was NOOO reason to assume they're gonna understand what the hell is going on.
I'm just saying.
It's fine, but it was confusing and I think it really could have been done better... I don't understand why they didn't do a better job differentiating between past and present.
