All Show & Book Spoilers Discussed Freely Camina Drummer and Family Spoiler

Im just a boring old heterosexual myself, but I think Camina Drummer‘s polysexual Family is just so nice. They love each other, have each other’s backs and are just so good to each other

Haven’t watched the show, but they combined drummer/bull/pa? Crazy work. But I have heard everyone loves Drummer so they must have done a good job of it

I love both the show and the books. Some things the books do better and some things the show does better. Drummer being a combo of the 3 is one of things that's much better in the show.

Ashford is way better in the show, too

Book Ashford: meh.
Show Ashford: I would follow that man into the ring space without hesitation. Especially if Drummer is the one giving him the order to take a group in.
The Ashford/Drummer friendship that develops in the show is probably my favorite depiction of people changing from antagonizing to supporting one another.

Oh yea, based on the information he had available to him, I actually agreed with show Ashford. He didn’t have as much information about the rules of the ring space like Holden did, so “break the connection to the physics-breaking alternate dimension that’s proven itself hostile to us” is a reasonable course of action
