The Stand | Episode 3: “Blank Page”

By popular demand, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Jessica Liese (@HaymakerHattie)’s coverage of “The Stand” is still standing. This week, they take on Episode 3, “Blank Page,” and discuss whether Randall Flagg is a competent villain, how the post-apocalyptic landscape of “The Stand” compares to that of “The Walking Dead,” the casting choices of Henry Zaga as Nick Andros and Brad William Henke as Tom Cullen, and whether the abundance of free choice in this adaptation improves on the original source material. They also talk about the controversial narrative choices the series makes, and how watching the series on CBS All Access makes these choices a little easier to follow.
