Maybe in the OP, we can have a list of what book Dan is like and how tv show Dan is like. I'd love to hear some comparisons. I have the first book, just haven't read it yet, so i'm curious.

That is something that would be interesting in the series, but I'm glad Dan isn't in the show. Smoking is bad

Yes so glad he's not a smoker, and also glad he's not stalkerish!

We haven't really seen too much into Dan as a writer on the show... other than 10-08-05

OH me too.

I'm glad they portrayed him differently than the books. Because otherwise i'm not sure i would have liked him as much.

ITA! If Dan was portrayed the same way on the show it would just be like two different stories- one in Brooklyn & one for the UES. I like it better when they're combined

I'd have been okay with him being a bit stalkerish for the first ep or two of the show. Maybe have him and Jenny watching the UES gang at school or around town. I know they wanted the Pilot to be dramatic, but with the rush, it was just a bit crazy and I know the Pilot did turn a lot of people away. ALthough I loved D/S in the pilot, maybe the show would have garnered more fans by bringing them something to look forward too or seeing the difference. Maybe we could have seen Dan still liking Serena from a far, but then build up to where he still liked her and her crazy ways. LOL

Yeah I would've liked a little more build up to DS also. It would have made the pilot more interesting.
