Nightflyers is a miniseries airing on Syfy, adapted from the novella of the same name by George R. R. Martin.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the late 21st century, Earth is on its last legs, its resources almost completely depleted. In a last-ditch effort to save mankind, the Nightflyer embarks on a mission to make contact with the Volcryn, a mysterious race with access to advanced technology.This being a George R.R. Martin story, naturally, things go wrong.Should not be confused with The Night Flier, a 1997 horror film adapted from a Stephen King short story. Or with Fly By Night Series, a children book series by Frances Hardinge. | |

Anyone Can Die: It's George R. R. Martin. Expect a sizable body count. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Nightflyers / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: In the original novella, Karoly is The Millstone, a useless intellectual with his head so far up his own ass that he dooms the rest of the crew because he refuses to recognize that his expedition has been sabotaged. In the series, Karl is one of the protagonists, and is far more competent. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Nightflyers / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: The reveal that Eris's sociopathic mother has lived on as the Nightflyer's AI is revealed much earlier on the show than in the book. Also, the initial setting of the show shifts to Earth in 2093, rather than the fictional planet of Avalon from Martin's "Thousand Worlds" short stories. | |

| Nightflyers / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: Thale in the show is an emotionally maladjusted piece of work who is unpleasant to anyone around him and doesn't hesitate to inflict Mind Rape or worse. Thale in the novella is the Team Prima Donna and a Nervous Wreck but never antagonistic, and is also the first character to die. | |
