I remember when I made a thread about this show before it aired...

Anyway yeah I'm loving it, but you're totally right, Richard is a lot more intelligent in the books, and is unfailingly good... which is very hard to believe, but makes it worth reading... He's the goodest good guy ever in the books, and while it does show in the uh..show, it's nowhere near as insane.

I would like to point out that I pictured Richard somewhat older-looking and a bit bigger, and Kalahn a bit younger looking... Zedd also is a bit different, but the actor pulls it off awesomely otherwise. Rahl is full of fail, but oh well.

I do like how some of the books show through in some episodes but then they go off on other little arcs...Having read the entire series before the show started means I obviously would have gripes with the plot and such, but I think it was a good series to port to TV.
