Maybe it is "keeping with the vibe" or whatever but sometimes one just hankers for a visual retelling that really sticks to the books. But I've always considered HG to be unfilmable, because what really makes the books sing is the completely non-visual narrative. Random chapters of the guide. Stories that seem to interrupt the flow only to have some sort of connection to the plot half a book later. Adams' writing style. You can't film the way he describes the eternal sunset beach where the Guide's HQ is, visuals would never do those bizarre surreal words justice.

You do know it was a tv show already? And a radio show too, the radio show came first so it still had guide segments interrupting a performed narrative even before the book was written.
