Dean and Emily really is squicky - he's 35 to her 12, a friend of her father's from college and saying things like: I'll wait for you, I'll teach you about love talk, don't kiss me yet, our first kiss, etc etc. The show made him 25, but their banter was almost as bad as this instant kinship. I don't really like the Dean in the books, which is the opposite to all of the other characters, where I like them in the books and not on the show. *g*

I feel like re-reading the entire trilogy now, just for its own sake and not trying to figure out where the show went so wrong.

Originally: I'm watching some episodes of the TV series and the Dean/Emily scenes are making me want to revisit their relationship in the book. It's squicky and wrong, but I kind of like the Dean on the show. I wonder if I'll like him in the books now. (TV show is awful, btw. Emily might actually be insane.) ]]>
