As someone who hasn't watched and never read past the first book, I really want to know what changes they made now.

I just finished watching the series and I had to struggle to remember what was in the sugar bowl. It was just the least interesting part of the whole series to me.

[greenvelvetcake]

As far as I remember, they never revealed what was in the sugar bowl in the books. It drove me insane.

[(Anonymous)]

Haha yeah I can imagine from that standpoint it would be VERY annoying.

[greenvelvetcake]

Same! It's been a long time since I read the books, but I can't think of a single change they made that I didn't like.

[philstar22]

Okay, having looked things up, it looks like they didn't change so much as bring in the plot of a sequel book and use that ending?

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS FOR BOTH BOOK AND SHOW. In the show, they explained a lot more of VFD and the general mystery around it. Olaf's backstory wasn't explained or why there was a schism besides the "one sides wants to start fires, the other wants to put them out." A lot of characters in the show had little development in the books, like Jacques and Jacqueline. They also made the ending much less ambiguous - the last book has the Baudelaires sailing off in the boat with no word on if they survived, we don't know if anyone made it out of the burning hotel (in the show, we know Justice Strauss did), and the henchmen don't get a real ending. Some other minor changes.

This is in the original 13 books, he wrote some supplementary books that answered some questions, but this wrapped it up nicely in one series.

As someone who LOVED the original ending, I loved the show's ending just as much. I think Daniel Handler was mostly attached to the idea that some questions don't have answers, but with all this time to reconsider the series (he did write a ton of the show), he chose to tie up some key loose threads, and it gave the show some good closure that I think was more necessary than in the books, where we didn't have nearly as big a world or as fleshed-out characters.

What I did like is that he maintained the theme of questions without answers by explicitly leaving us with no knowledge of where the Baudelaires are now. We know Beatrice II got separated from them, and not how. I like to think they're going around purging the world of VFD on all sides, good and bad. When the "good" side makes a super bio-weapon it's time for everyone to lay down arms.

Man, I hope they adapt All The Wrong Questions next. (With exactly the same team of course.)
