Yep, it's a better way to go. I had watched the first season, or part of
it when it first aired. I wanted to get back to it, but didn't remember
a lot of it, so when I found out about the books, I started with them.
There's 9 while the series ended wth 7 I think. I'm waiting for that
last one to be returned at the library, but in the meantime I discovered
there's a book of stories/novellas that's the lasted to be released so
am nearly done with that while I'm waiting on the last book. I've still
got lost from time to time, but wikipedia has a fairly good synopsis of
them and character bios so that's helped a lot.
