Richard is usually the first person to see past someones quirks and appearance and be kind to them. which they completely undo anyway by making Richard refer to Zedd as that crazy old man. the bridge Richard builds in the beginning was such a weak attempt at portraying the heart of the character. And I agree that the action was weak, and the story is indeed "straight" but the way it's depicted here is cheesy. which comes up later as being vital to the story. It also missed pivital stuff like how Zedd was an old dear friend to Richard and that Richard's father had already died before the story began and the book Kahlan is trying to bring him didn't exist at this point-Richard had it when he was young and his father made him memorize it and destroy it. they took out every thing that was interesting and by the time you examine what's left, it seems trivial and unimportant. But the reason I'd say it's worth comparing it is because this does not even come CLOSE to how interesting the plot of the book was. Yes yes, you can't compare it exactly to the books, blah blah. While I will agree whole-heartedly with you that this show left a lot to be desired, I would like to point out that hard-core fans of the show would NOT enjoy this show. #1 for me is "Memory, Sorrow and Thorn" by Tad Williams. #Legend of the seeker season 2 episode 20 part 1 series#A Song of Ice and Fire was my second favorite series but it has slipped to third for Steven Erikson's "Malazan Tales from the Book of the Fallen". #Legend of the seeker season 2 episode 20 part 1 tv#I predict that Martin will croak long before his series is finished, and if he switches gears, and starts a tv series before he finishes the novels the series will suffer. That being said, I don't have high hopes for "A Game of Thrones" being done. That sounds interesting, but I think even HBO will have to reign it in a bit. #Legend of the seeker season 2 episode 20 part 1 movie#I've heard of the "Eye of the World" being made into a movie but I haven't heard of "A Song of Ice and Fire" being done by HBO. For those of us who've finished the series it is often hard to remember Richard as a young, naive man. At first I didn't like Horner as Richard but, he grew on me during the show. It will require more commitment than a typical tv series (ie Heroes) because the plot is much more complex. A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin is my favorite entry into the fantasy genre, although it's less about magic and heroes and more about political maneuvering in a medieval setting with the fantasy elements serving more as historical background. What I'm really anticipating is HBO's adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, but who knows when/if that'll ever happen. Its setting only superficially differentiates it from fantasy. It's not really science fiction at all, except for the space part. It just happens to be set in space, so it's referred to as scifi-fantasy. All the elements of it: the Force, lightsabers, Jedis, Master/Apprentice, singular hero that is destined to save the galaxy, are all analogs of fantasy themes. However, I will disagree with you on the scifi/fantasy aspect of it. Amanda - As much as a love Star Wars, I too find it annoying when it's referred to as if it were completely novel. I found the first episode to be decent enough that I'll at least stick around a little longer. Seeker is about what I expected it to be for a TV series, although I was hoping it would be better. I used to watch Hercules and Xena as a kid and understood that it was campy, but have since wanted to see a solid fantasy series made, as I have read my fair share of fantasy books. I was certainly not hoping for another Hercules or Xena and liked that they're playing the fantasy genre straight.
