Query: Great adaptation

Considering "The Stand" is King's longest novel it would be unreasonable to include every tiny detail in a movie, even a mini-series. This adaptation is as near perfect as one can get. Good character development and although I was somewhat leery of Ringwald as Frannie, she did an excellent job. Gary Sinise was perfect casting for Stu Redman. The only thing that I was not pleased with was the casting of Randall Flagg. Sheridan did an okay job portraying him, but did not come across evil enough. Hard to be afraid of someone with such an awful mullet. Regardless, I love this series and recommend it to anyone who loved the book.
