Legend of the Seeker

[Breine]

Ok, Family Guy is an example of a show worse than LotS being brought back, so you got me there.

Oh snap!

I enjoyed watching Legend of the Seeker. Sure, some of the episodes where crap and the writing was sometimes terrible, but it was an overall pretty enjoyable fantasy show, and it had it's cool/great moments. Also, Kahlan and Cara were terrific and badass like hell, and the show had an overall hot young cast.

I was somewhat annoyed with the rushed ending of the show, and would therefore have liked a third season to be produced. Hopefully they'd then be able to further improve the show. But anyway, it's not like the show's ever going to get picked up again *shrug*

The only thing that bugged me was the rushed ending of each episode. For example the whole world coming to an end yet for it all to be resolved in the last 5 minutes. The producers/writers should learn the beauty of 2 parters.

I'm unsure about what LEGEND OF THE SEEKER is but I do a little bit of seeking every single day. In fact, don't we all? I think seeking is something we can all relate to and therefore you have my full support.

I've watched a few episodes and enjoyed what I saw. Sucks that shows who are trying to be something get jumped around and then dumped while shows that are just terrible run for 4257458973 seasons.

...wow, I really didn't know this show was so loved.

I watched half an episode, and decided to never bother watching it again.

The trailers I've seen were just embarrassing. They were like an attempt at showing as many of the most extreme fantasy-cliches as possible within 30 seconds... combined with over-the-top cheesyness. And I've seen unofficial amatuer videos on YouTube with better acting.

...but maybe I just saw the worst of it.

Well I honestly can't say I know for sure why Family Guy was brought back. I imagine it had to do with more than just fan support. But quality of the shows in question wasn't really what I was going on. Just the concept of fan support possibly resurrecting series. And Family Guy and Futurama occurred to me as good reference points for that argument. Though I'd have reiterate your own point. Why Family Guy and not Firefly? Sad sad world

For the record, the ending of the book series is awful.

[Raistlin]

And by "ending" she means the entirety of the last four books.

[Shlup]

I liked books 9, 10, and 11. Just not the end.

[spoiler]They built up this whole awesome "LAY WASTE TO THE OLD WORLD" thing and then just kind of mentioned a couple of times how it wasn't going very well, and then "oh btw all of the Books of Counted shadows are bull" and then this weird almost breaking the fourth wall thing. Also not enough sex in the last few books. Well, consensual sex.[spoiler]

[Raistlin]

Uh, books 9, 10, and 11 are the last three books. I assume you mean you liked NE, Chainfire, and Phantom, (8, 9, and 10) but I hope not because those three sucked. NE was the beginning of substituting speeches for dialogue and had the most obnoxious deus ex machina ending; Chainfire was really, really slow and covered only about 50 pages of actual development; and Phantom had plenty of more speeches and started off with lengthy and obnoxiously repetitive "OMG THE ORDER IS TERRIBLE" stories/flashbacks (BACK TO BACK EVEN WTF) about stuff we already knew was happening since book four.

I agree that Confessor was probably the worst, though, which is saying a lot.

[Shlup]

When I say I liked the last three books I mean I liked the last three books, ass. I just didn't like the last three chapters of the last book. Naked Empire was awful.

Though, if nothing else, these books helped me get really good at skimming.

[Raistlin]

Well how am I supposed to know what you mean by "the end." "The end of the series" is a reasonable interpretation. Plus, it's not like a counting error on your part would be very surprising!

Speaking of the end of Confessor, when it first came out the story going around was that Goodkind wrote the last 80 or whatever pages in one sitting to meet a deadline. The catch is, everyone seemed to consider this impressive. My first thought was "it shows."

[Shlup]

I agree that it shows. The entire description of (SPOILER)what he did with the boxes of Orden, creating the separate worlds could've been done in one solid paragraph, rather than pages upon pages.

[Raistlin]

(SPOILER)Yes, that was bad, especially for all the made-up-on-the-spot retconing going on about the Boxes and Book of Counted Shadows. Another really annoying part was the retarded "unwritten rule," which Goodkind seemed so proud of, especially in interviews where he said "I WROTE IT CLEARLY IN THERE IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT IT'S NOT MY FAULT IT'S OBVIOUS BECAUSE I AM A GENIUS." You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more full of himself.

[Shlup]

Goodkind hurts my face.

Is the unwritten rule that you can make up whatever bull you want?
