  • Stephen King's The Stand (1994)
    All four parts of the miniseries based on the novel by Stephen King. When a lab run by the government lets a deadly virus escape, the majority of the world's population is destroyed. Those who survived all recount having seen two figures in their dreams - a terrifying man or a mysterious old woman, representing the forces of good and evil. Now a final confrontation between the two figures looks set to take place. The cast includes Gary Sinise, Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwald. The episodes are: 'The Plague', 'The Dreams', 'The Betrayal' and 'The Stand.

    One of my favorites. I ended up in ER and ICU during covid times. Lucky for me, it wasn't covid, just metastatic breast cancer. It was surreal. Seperate spaces for covid and noncovid patients. Nurses suffering from PTSD. Crazy times, but nowhere near as crazy as The Stand. If you are wondering, I've been in remission since then.

      Nope. Didn't find Molly or Laura fit the book characters. Even Gary didn't fit Stu, who seemed more like a Vince Gill type of character. I like these actors but not in these roles. Actually, the Hulu miniseries was a better take.
      This script was better then the newest version which is so disturbing. Like the writer was just opening the novel and shooting whatever he found. Sad.

    Stephen King has said that The Stand is not his personal favorite of all his books, but that many of his fans say it is their favorite. It's certainly my favorite of his, for sure. And this 1994 miniseries is unbeatable. And it's eerily prescient of the way the world is polarized between good and evil today.

Read the book not long before this was shown on television, and both are great. For me, there's no comparing them at all, both the book, and the series, even if a little different, are fine works equally. Still haven't watched the later version, I will, but the thought of a different cast, just doesn't sound right. I mean Ossie & Ruby together! Unbeatable!

    I must of read it 30, 40 times or more over the years. I keep going back to it, it's my favourite book.
    I like this screen version of it, but I'm so glad that i read the book first.
    I've never seen the recent remake of the Stand. It's got a lot of mixed reviews and from what i've read most people prefer this version. I will get around to buying the DVD or Blu-ray of the 2021 version at some point just out of curiosity, but i would definitely recommend the book to anyone who hasn't read it.

    This is looking more and more likely as time progresses. One of my best and oldest friends recently asked me if I'd read this book (as he knows I'm a Stephen King fan) and I told him I had read it many times, and he then told me that he started to read it but couldn't finish it because it was pertinent and terrifying to what's been going on recently. I told him that while that may be true, he should absolutely finish it because it's a great book and worth the read. I often wonder just how long it may be until this becomes reality.

It's good that you're aware though Don't become like those "people" sad part is movies are more and more realistic these days people actually do act like this and like his show the mist, We saw it during COVID The amount of selfish hoarding the amount of resource hoarding The willingness to bow down to the govt without question and then to watch people turn on others who did question things was scary And now look at the world.

We've already seen the failure to respond to a global pandemic that killed millions around the world. The next virus released could kill billions and be the end of us on earth. If you don't think releasing COVID was just a test to see how we respond you are sorely mistaken. Biological warfare will be a thing in the, possibly near, future.

    I was never much impressed by Stephen King’s writing until I was stuck on a 13-hour road trip and I ended up reading my father’s copy of *The Stand (Complete and Uncut)*. First off, as a 12-year-old, intellectually-precocious kid who had hit puberty around 9, and had power fantasies on top of the lot of it, I was entranced by the figure of Randall Flagg. Now in my 40s, I feel as if civilised Americans are beset on all sides by tens of thousands of little Randall Flaggs.

    I never read the book. But I have The Stand on dvd, and run through it at least a couple of times a year. Especially if I am feeling depressed. When I am feeling like we as humans have no hope left. To me it is therapeutic in some ways. Like a cleansing of the human race...which in the movie.. it is. I love Stephen Kings stuff. Haven't read all that many of his books. I read the green mile in three days, because my wife and I wanted to watch the movie, and we wanted to read the novel first. The film was very well done. I also have Rose Red, Salem's Lot, the TV version of The Shining, Misery, Delores Claiborne, Carrie (original) Secret Window, The Original "It" (won't watch the re-make) Kingdom Hospital dvd set. And about 15 more of his films, that I watch whenever I like. They are "All" perfect "Masterpiece's". The guy is "Amazing"👍👍👍

Except for a few questionable casting options it was perfect. Gary Synees did a great job but Stu Redman was a bit older and if you read the book you know Harrold was fat. could have done a better job for Franny also. Mother Abigail was born to play that part. Like I said it was as close to perfect as you could get it I'm just being nit-picky. Everyone is a critic. LOL

      "11/22/63" is also the name of a Stephen King book that was published a few years ago. 🙄

    I’ve been a Stephen King fan since I was 14 and read my first book. I don’t read books a second time, but I actually read this three times. I had to read the unabridged version when it came out and then I read it again a couple of years later. The first publication was the least interesting. Stephen King knows what he’s doing and he has proven it time and time again! I love that I’m an Oregonian and have been to Mt. Hood and so many other places that were done here!
