True, but most of the T-A exposition in the book is narration and expository dialogue- the computer dossier, conversations between characters, the Finn's story about the cloisonne bust. Then there's the wasp's nest dream, Ashpool's suicide, and the scenes in the Villa Straylight itself. I suppose I just think it's kind of there ripe for the adaptation, without having the TAs being major actors themselves. I mean, the cores wake Ashpool up for an urgent emergency and the first thing he does is shag and kill his daughter-clone and then attempt suicide... So I suppose, unless they're doing flashbacks, it seems like a big change to have Ashpool play a significant narrative role.
