Ken Follett's novel, "The Pillars of the Earth" has been made into a miniseries that's premiering on Starz tomorrow night. I have mixed feelings about the book, having read it a couple of years ago, but I'm intrigued by the idea of a mini-series. So, I went over to Starz website, and discovered that the first two FULL EPISODES are available for viewing! http://www.starz.com/originals/thepillarsoftheearth/screeningroom#/episode-101-anarchy/ Why do they do this? I'm not a Starz subscriber, and I get to watch.

HOLY CARP!!!

WHAT?! My wife and I absolutely loved both of these books (Pillars and the sequel). I had no idea it was being made into a miniseries. Can someone DVR this for me? If not for me, then for Mrs. KB? |

I suppose we could watch online - but will the other episodes become available online as well? |

No clue, but I'm watching episode 2. It moves MUCH faster than the book, so far at least. It's also much more explicit about the fight between Maud and King Stephen. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
If you have Direct TV satellite it is on their proprietary 101 Network channel. lots of good stuff on there. I tried to get into it the first episode last night, but just could not. Medieval soap opera. |
