By the time you read this, I will be dead. No wait, I mean, CBS All Access will have released the final episode of The Stand, their new miniseries based on Stephen King's epic pot-apocalyptic novel of good versus evil. And to mangle T.S. Eliot, rather than with a bang, this regrettable adaptation has gone out like a wet fart. Expectations were high for a more King-friendly product after the 1994 miniseries was forced to pull punches for network TV. CBS and series developers Josh Boone and Ben Cavell promised a more faithful (read: R-rated) treatment for the material. Good news for everyone wh...

2021 Alabama Softball Preview: Team25 is Ready To Roll Share this story Looking for another ring. RBR is back for another spring of Alabama softball coverage.

The new CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand has now reached its big climax in its eighth episode, and audiences can now witness what happens with Glen Bateman, Larry Underwood, and Ray Brentner following their arrival in New Vegas. For the most part, like the rest of the series, the translation of the text is faithful, as most of the major beats are hit dead on – but also like the rest of the series, there are also a number of alterations that have been made, and it...

CinemaBlend There is a ridiculous amount of ground to cover character-wise in adapting Stephen King’s The Stand, and while the new CBS All Access miniseries took a strange route with the material by making the narrative non-linear, it’s first five episodes did a solid job introducing all of the main players. Breaking up the key arcs into different chapters, the show has week-by-week dedicated time to the key protagonists (including Stu, Fran, Larry, Nick, Tom, and Mother Abigail) and key antagonists (such as Harold, Nadine, Lloyd, and Randall Flagg).
