The Sword of Truth Series (AKA RaistlinxTheMan luvluv)

[Raistlin]

I realize that, but it was a pretty lame spell that doesn't really show how no one besides Richard ever broke out of it. No one can ever break the spell of Perdition... unless they really love someone like Richard did so would know the hallucination isn't really. Obviously no one's ever felt such true love like Richard. The corniness of it all makes me want to barf.

However, now that I think about it, it's a bit silly to criticize the TV show for a Richard-based deus ex machina -- unless I'm complaining about it copying Goodkind's theme. The obnoxious ending of NE is barely readable.

I wanna jump in and say that if there's another case of possession or mistaken identity... I'mma throw up. If Richard says "None of this is real!" ever again... ugh.

[Raistlin]

Now that you mention it, between this last episode, the dream episode, the first season finale (going to the future), and probably some others I'm forgetting... that does seem to be a rather common theme.

[Shlup]

Yeah, I hate this repeat crap. I wish they would make the series a little more grand-scope rather than so cut-and-dry episodic.

[Miriel]

The show isn't as pretty as I remember it being. The New Zealand backdrop and the cinematography were what drew me in when I first started watching. Production value just doesn't see as high anymore.

ANYWAY, I <3 Kahlan and Cara. They're awesome together and the main reason I keep watching the show.

Really? I think it's become prettier and the production value has become higher. I remember in season 1, it always seemed like they were walking around in the same forest. Not much variation.
Hmm, maybe it's just me, I don't know.. but I think the show's become bigger and prettier in the 2nd season.

Ugh, why isn't it Saturday yet? This episode will be pretty.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Just downloaded season 1, about to give it a look-see.

[Raistlin]

It shouldn't take you long to catch up. The second season is better because it has Cara.

[Shlup]

I read too many spoilers for Saturday's episode. :o

[NorthernChaosGod]

So I only ended up watching the pilot since it was a double episode, I'll have to watch more to really get a feel for the series. It's interesting so far though.

Did anyone else think Darken sounds like David Bowie in Labyrinth?

And Kahlan is hot.

[Raistlin]

I didn't think of it myself, but now that you mention it I can see the similarity.

And Kahlan is hot.

That is the uniform opinion of everyone who has watched this show. It's really the main reason to bother with it instead of going straight to the superior book series.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Lulz. I'll certainly be watching more at least partially because of her, the dresses she wears are... nice.

But I do feel like this episode was rather cliche.

EDIT: Damn, Khalan as a mord sith. smurfing hot.

[Raistlin]

The TV show is very campy and corny, and at times repetitive. I consider it a guilty-pleasure show which I only watch because I enjoyed reading the books. If you're underwhelmed, well, I wouldn't blame you.

Anyway, I thought the latest episode was another mediocre one. VERY predictable. I could have practically written the script myself shortly after the amulet was broken. And yet another (SPOILER) "OMG I know you're not the real Kahlan because you're not perfect" moment for Richard. What is that, like three or four now?
