#but when will i see the sledge with sails

Although I persist in not understanding why one would make an Around the World in 80 Days adaptation and not use the majority of the plot points from the book, as a longtime Nellie Bly fan and a shorter-term Elizabeth Bisland fan I am DELIGHTED that the newest adaptation decided to make their non-book girl character a female reporter. If they must make such sweeping changes they could do worse than pay homage to the real-life women who bravely went where not even Phileas Fogg went before.
