KcMizzou originally brought this up last January. Looks like it's coming to the small screen a week from Saturday.

I wonder how they will fit in all of Goodkind's crazy rants about objectivism in it. I suppose they'll just ignore it.

That's "Planeteer's First Rule".

To be honest, I don't question his intellect. His wisdom, however, is definitely suspect.

You know, I expected it to be horrible, but it wasn't all that bad for a syndicated show.

It's not about the story. I could tell just from the trailers. The tone and characters of the show were total LOTR ripoffs. It's OK, it's been happening for years now. Tons of shitty LOTR ripoffs with generic fantasy stories have been coming out. It's a cash grab. Enjoy it if that's your thing.

Actually I should say it's more of a Peter Jackson ripoff, not a LOTR ripoff. They're emulating the way he directed the films more than anything.

There are tons of generic LOTR ripoffs out there, Goodkind just isn't one of them, unless you are accusing every fantasy writer of being a Tolkien ripoff. Goodkind is a different sort of hack, he mostly copies Robert Robert and Ayn Rand.

He was talking about the look, not the story.

And it was shot in New Zealand, although there are things in the production derivative of other series (stop motion action sequences primarily). Either way it does in some ways look like Jackson's films.

But that's about it...

As soon as the Mord-Sith lesbian scene begins, you can begin discussing the inadequacies of Peter Jackson directed films.

That is unless, you prefer the homoerotic (or would that be hobbierotic) scenes?

Finally got to see it. Man, I can't believe they would make so many changes to the basic relationships between people. I can't understand how that will help with a "tv" audience. I understand they can't follow the books to a 't', but to have Richard not even really know Zedd? Have Kahlan bring the book? Stu pid.

Great. I'm expecting it to suck, so I'm holding out hope for Ice & Fire on HBO.
