Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 was watching episode 3 where Harry is reporting to Whitney Vance (William Devane) about Devane's son's death in RVN Harry says the son was stationed in Da Nang but was KIA in Tay Ninh; that's a distance of about 360 miles. That seems a bit far to be operating from your duty station now haven't seen any more and this certainly could be explained in numerous ways. Boy, do I need to get a life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Bosch. NYTimes gave a great review to the new episodes. Looking forward to it. Don't follow the comment. In the books, Harry is a Vietnam vet, but the passage of time makes it necessary for him to be a Gulf vet in the TV series. But a son in Vietnam? I don't grasp the possible reference.

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 Harry is working for William's Devane's character who had a son out of wedlock. Harry is tasked with finding him. turns out Devane's son was KIA in RVN my observation is the son was stationed in Da Nang but KIA in Tay Ninh. That's a pretty far distance between places. So far has really nothing to do with the plot--just caught my eye/ear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Any idea what his son’s job was? If a grunt it would be unlikely, but if one of the soecial ops types, more a possibility. Or just writers who aren’t good researchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Bosch:Legacy is on Freevee (formerly IMDB TV), a free streaming service - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14168162/. In the story line, the deceased son was a Navy corpsman, I believe. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosch: Legacy is a continuation of the Bosch character, just not as a police officer.

bgavin Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The TV mostly (read: mostly) follows the books. It has been tweaked for the times, i.e. Vietnam vs Afghanistan The Vance story line is not in the books, as far as I remember. I have read the entire series, 2x or more. I'm completely enjoying the Legacy series. Warts or not, I have a high tolerance for inconsistencies... just to enjoy the stories. I'm a fan. Sad part: Connelly continues to write books, but went "woke" in the last ones, as a Trump hater in the story Law of Innocence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain that the Vance story line is in the books; need to look back to be able to ID the book involved, but my memory is that there is a grandchild, and that somebody in the family is involved in Chicano art.

bgavin Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 If so, I stand corrected, thanks. Sometimes I can't remember what we had for dinner last night. This is actually a blessing... every book and movie in my collection is always a first-run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMNSHO, disliking Mr. Trump does not necessarily make one a "hater" or "woke". I have no admiration for the guy, but I am far from "woke"; I just have no tolerance for braggarts, liars, or pompous politicians. Of any political persuasion.

I haven't watched Bosch Legacy yet, so I don't know how much they changed (if at all) the plot but the character of Whitney Vance comes from the book "Wrong Side of Goodbye".

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Binged 4 episodes last night on freevee. The ads were very unobtrusive. All still there and still good. Hopefully more to come when this series is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Titus Welliver is collaborating and co-producing with Connelly. He is also mentioned in the author's notes in the front of the most recent books. Very enjoyable reads and TV watches, both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Some naval corpsman are cross trained as marine corpsman. My cousin did so. He was in the navy a couple years then had as he put it given the opportunity to be cross trained. he had to go back thru an accelerated Marine boot camp for mostly combat arms training. he later was stationed in Italy but was sent to Lebanon for some weeks . He was a survivor of the barracks bombing. So yes you could die far from your duty station. He returned to naval service until the first Iraq war and again served with the Marines in liberating Kuwait. He said the real Marines were always kind to him as they knew he was soft from naval duty. They would help him carry his pack and such as he was quite out of shape compared to them. His words not mine. He retired from the navy only to die at a young age to cancer. Seems many Marines he served with also died of multiple cancers. He said it was probably either the oil they ingested or from all the smoke they ate! RIP James !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
