of Time.

Who is a Tony Hillerman fan, and will be watching this tomorrow at 9, on their local PBS station?

I am a Hillerman fan! [Smile]

I remember PBS showed Coyote Waits back several months ago. I'll be sure to watch for the Thief of Time tomorrow!

For a moment there, I thought this was a Pratchett thread.

I like Tony Hillerman books [Smile]

How was Coyote Waits on TV?

Count me in. Love Hillerman's books, and love the PBS films. We won't get this one until next Wednesday, though. So I guess I'll have to wait.

Coyote Waits was very well done, I thought. Didn't get to see all of it as I was working, but saw quite a bit of it.

I thought Coyote Waits was very well done. Leaphorn is very sexy, not that that is important, but it helps. Jim Chee was prtrayed younger and more inoocent-looking than I had pictured him.

Also, the title is A Thief of Time, not The Thief of Time, so I changed that.

Edit this time to change "Tim" to Time."

OK, I have to say that I thought it was a bit boring overall. The young woman coming on to Leaphorn did not work for me. It made no sense. I don't remember that part in the book, but I am sure it made more sense there than in the movie.

Anyone else?

Didn't see it, and it's been years since I read it, but I doubt any bit with a woman coming on to Leaphorn was in the book, that sounds pretty out of character for Hillerman...

Well, the ads lied, and we did get it Sunday, with the rest of you. However, that means I missed the first forty-five minutes or so. Then, about two or three minutes from the end, someone at the station pushed the wrong button and we didn't get to see the end. Except they showed it again at one in the morning. I was busy, and didn't see the beginning again, but I finally saw the last three minutes. Which means that I was up until past 2:30 a.m. [Grumble]

I liked what I saw of it very much. [Smile]

Check on pbs.org, and you can find out when it will be playing again.

It was very good, actually, just slow-paced, and I think I was more exhausted than bored. I kept doing the head-bob through the first part.

I have never liked that Janet, and still don't.
