The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[Munglai]

When I was reading the last books, I was really upset at how the story was leaving it's comedy roots. It was turning into something serious and dark, and I wanted to beat somebodies face in. What happened?

Anybody who hasn't read past #3 yet, forget it. You'll end up getting your heart broken.

No way! Thanks For All The Fish is awesome!

No it wouldn't because Douglas Adams had an imagination. I'm not saying they should have stayed together and had a romantic couple adventure, she could have got abducted or seduced or eaten or anything but she literally just vanishes at the beginning of the book for no reason other than Douglas Adams not wanting to write about her and that's a pretty shitty thing to do to an already developed character that the readers may (I know I did) have an emotional attachment too. She deserved a proper exit at the very least.

Ah sorry old chap I seemed to have ruffled your beef, but anyway DA probably wrote several version which included Fenchurch then finally just removed her, granted it was in a lazy and rather dissapointing way but still what you must remember that his Final version of the book that he liked. So perhaps it was for the best.
Remember that his first drafts of THHGTG ended in the destruction of Earth, only when it started with its destruction did he strike gold, so many the same thing applies here.

Oh yeah, #4 is forgivable,
as long as you can bring yourself to ignore Mostly Harmless when you're done.
I think it may have impared my judgement a bit. I'll need to read them again.

I'm pretty sure Douglas Adams wasn't happy with Mostly Harmless at all and had pretty severe writer's block.

At least, I hope so.

well, nobody spoiled 2 or 3, so you can still read those. By the fourth, you'll probably forget what we said.

Also, I'm doing an adaptation/parody of the Hitchhiker series. I'm on the writing stage, so it'll be a while before the first part comes out.
