    That's disappointing, if not terribly surprising. It's not a great show, but it was entertaining enough for me to watch and did a good job with certain memorable characters (Cara and Kahlan, especially).

    Probably. Is it dark where you are?

    This is what I get for not watching television.
    I probably watch TV shows half of the time on the computer, streaming or downloading from the internet.

    It is dark. Oh no! Anyway, I might try that internet tv-show watching thing for this show. I love watching movie/show portrayals of books I've read.

    I'm now on the seventh book in the series. I'm still having trouble deciding which I like best (or hate more, depending)--the books or the TV show. I hate the episodic nature of the show, but I've really liked the last few episodes. And Raistlin said book six was the best of the books, and I agree aside from the fact that I haven't read much past book six.

    I'm terribly sad about the show being canceled. The thought of a Saturday without Richard's abs, or Kahlan's thighs, or Kahlan's hair, or Cara's facial expressions, or Kahlan's décolletage, oe Kahlan's freckles, or Kahlan's lip scar, or Kahlan's blue eyes, or... WHY!?!?!

    Shlup, are you in lust with Kahlan?

    Well, this sucks. I don't want the show to end.

    Kahlan is definitely one of the highlights of the TV show, which was a pleasant surprise considering she's not my favorite character from the books (I'd put Zedd, Cara, Nathan, and Nicci, at least, ahead of her).

    The 7th book, though it does drag on, is still ok. The 8th book is where it starts getting just... bad. Seriously. It's like Goodkind took what writing ability he'd managed over the years and consciously threw it in the fire.

    I hate Goodkind's habit of just not including Kahlan/Richard for the first 100+ pages in a new book. It's a good thing the TV show already got me liking Jennsen.

    It's... a bit longer than that for PoC. The only books that bugged me were in PoC and SotF, though I'll take Jennsen and Sebastian's eternal wanderings over Fitch's entire pointless story any day.

    I'm at the part where Jennsen and Sebastian get married and have five babies and live happily ever after.

    I really had to struggle with not responding with something that should be blatantly obvious but is probably a spoiler to you because you actually like Sebastian.

    ... yeah, ok.

    You're really making this difficult for me not to say it and ruin your image of him. REALLY DIFFICULT.

    True. Ok, the truth is: Sebastian is actually cheating on Jennsen with (SPOILER)your mom.
