For one second all I know, everything is made of snow

I was just informed that there will be a television adaptation of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness (1969).

If the Gethenian characters are not cast with genderqueer actors, I will feel someone is missing the point.

I'm not getting my hopes up. Remember what happened when they "adapted" Earthsea? Geez.

I have no hopes! Just opinions.

[edit] That's not entirely true: I really do hope that having optioned the property and remembering the tire fire that was Earthsea, they will do better by Winter, if only because the negative reaction will be huge if they don't. I just don't necessarily believe that they will. It would be nice.

Lots of things would be nice, but that doesn't, alas, make them likely.

Agreed, but since I won't be okay with them doing it badly, I might as well have expectations of minimal fidelity than resign myself to another tire fire.
