HBO THIS!

So what is right now probably my favorite book in the bible is 1st and 2nd Samuel (yes I count them as one) because it is so easy to relate to in different ways because the Saul and David, like us, are human. And of course, the best part, it is so EPIC!!!!!! Seriously, it's like a full out action movie, it's like a Bruce Willis movie on crack. Guns don't compare to men fighting face to face, it never will, I mean have you seen 300 or Lord of the Rings yet?! This has a story already set, and it actually happened.
Now I'm a visual guy, I like to see things which is why I got the action bible which is illustrated by a former comic book author who worked with Marvel, it's hard to imagine anything with the likes of anyone in history unless I see it. Also why I sometimes struggle with God, I'd love to physically see Him, but that's a conversation for another time if you'd like. But I'd LOVE to see this happen on the telly. I would pay to see this, and there's only one other show I'd be willing to pay on HBO or showtime to see, and that's Dexter.
But seriously, have you seen the works of arts they've came out with on those channels? And don't tell me that when you started watching band of brothers you didn't get hooked. I even enjoy mini-series more than movies now. Lonesome Dove confirmed it for me. I think it'd make a great series, maybe one season be Samuel anointing Saul and his rule over Israel and the rise of David as a warrior with the stories of him fighting Goliath, lions, thousands of Philistines. And then Saul's chase after David. Then the second season be David's reign as king and bring in some of psalms stories, his fights with Absalom and other sons. And then the rise of Solomon for the third and final season, including the 2 women fighting over the baby to show his wisdom God granted him, his building of the famous temple for the ark, and then the fall of the nation because of his blindness and wealth and thus the end of Israel being ruled under one king...for now.
Seriously how awesome would that be. And HBO tends to be more in depth and accurate since it doesn't have a 2 hour time limit, it's a whole series that I think even non-Christians would enjoy. It'd be awesome.


BTW I know the end of David and all of Solomon was in Kings, but it'd make sense to have them included right?
