I found the mini-series pretty good myself! I was happy with the mini-series 
treatment and Steve Webber and Rebecca DeMornay did pretty good jobs as Jack 
and Wendy...and I liked this Danny better than the old finger talking one! 
 
Hollaron was played nicely and it was a great scene to have him make it into 
and instead of being axed down!
