Legend of the Seeker

Ok...so The books do kick ass... this show.... quite literally pisses me off. I mean just in the first part, I could of sworn that kahlan's robes were supposed to be fully white, and not have this black crap under it.... and also Chase is Richard's awesome friend, they wouldn't stand off at each other like they did. Lets see what else... Richard and Zed were super close, not how they portrayed it..... Maybe my memory fails me but Richards mother didn't die in the midlands, she died in westland.... Oh and the book of counted shadows, wasn't memorized, wasn't burned with his father in a magicical glory....NO...and his "father" wasn't killed by Darken Rahl either... AHHH I'm pissed off again.

I hate excellant books that are turned into movies. If Tolkien can still sell the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings long after death then Hollywierd needs to leave the phuken story line alone. Easy example is the Liv Tyler role. rant, rant, rant.... for all that, they did seem to leave the storey line alone more than I thought they would.

I saw I guess the first show this week by accident and having never read the books, it was new to me. The show started out well but the second half really got weak. Either trying to pack too much in the last hour or what I'm not sure. Almost like it was directed/edited by different people or done at a different time. I'll give it one more go to see if the quality is there next week.

dude, they ****ed with the story line too much and then crammed it all together. What you saw in the two hour premier was like 5 chapters that happened over several days crammed together. Freaking Richard when he was bit by that stupid thorn was supposed to be out of it by like 2 days.

Never really understood the thorn issue. One minute he's hurt and a bit of puss and the next it's never seen again..... No explanation about the plant. As you noted, too much in too short a time. Better to fleshed out the start more and done a cliff hanger with the Brother outside the burning house...

Seriously Volt...go read the book, they have it in audio book format too... It is a very awesome series. If you have not the cash to get it, let me know, I'll get it on amazon for you.

I need to place an Amazon order anyway for some Xmas stuff. Trying to start early, I'll add it to the basket. Then I can be even more pissed at the show.
