    The trailer is not linear nor it is contiguous. The blood spot on
    the wall is from where Murderbot threw the good doctor through the
    open doorway as the sand pit monster was getting ready to eat
    somebody. All very much documented in The Murderbot Diaries, "All
    Systems Red".

    What are you talking about? MB didn't throw anyone through the doorway.
    It carried Bharadwaj in, while two of the others dragged in Volescu.

    The dialog from the trailer was,

    "What the hell, you could have killed me!"

    "There was a chance, yes. But everything turned out fine."

    Where from the book did anything like that happen? Before you go
    correcting me, know that I've read these many times.

    Despite being well bound, the books Dimwire reads have different content
    to those others read with the same covers, titles and authors.

    I did not know that there was a Dexter book.

    There was a whole series of books, but only the first season of the
    show was based on them. They changed the ending so much that first
    season that they couldn't use any other books after that.

    Many of the tv series are making 10 episodes per year now so I expect
    that to be this case. It was 13 recently. The first couple of
    seasons of "Law And Order" were 22 in the early 90s.

    Ten wouldn't be too bad, although still would require some padding.

    Netflix, and I think Prime, has seemed to settle on 8 episodes for a
    book. Reacher does a book each season, although not in order. I think
    each season of Wheel of Time is one book but as I've not read many of
    them I'm not sure. They have lots of limited series based on non-series
    books.
