Hahaha, yeah. I have no idea where the nipple thing came from. A magic spell isn't good enough, apparently; what really works is a magic spell and a nipple!
I guess I was just numbed to it because I read Temple of the Winds first (randomly given to me by a friend), which makes all of that look tame in comparison. On the plus side, nobody's raped!
Well, Richard did make the Mord-Sith show him their nipples. Then later they brag to Kahlan like, "He made us show him our breasts! *smug smug* xD
I started reading the series at random because I joined a science fiction book club and chose the first two as choices for free books. It was an overall enjoyable series despite the annoyance of getting preached to but something else that drove me crazy was how pointlessly often Goodkind would bring up and describe "wayward pines" about midway through the series. I got the impression he was over-proud of them and wanted to bring them up in the story as often as possible to show off what he created. It was the same with how he always had to bring up Richard's "hawk-like stare". I got pretty sick with having to read about them.
I couldn't get into the show. I tried watching the first few episodes and it was just let down after let down. Zedd and Nathan were some of my favorite characters in the series. I didn't watch long enough to see what they could do with Nathan because the guy acting as Zedd just did a horrible job compared to what I see him as. I much prefer imagination land.

This thread is so damn long, you guys must really like it. Would you recommend I watch it?
Maybe you should read some of the thread to find out.
Yeah, Goodkind specializes in repetition. Don't forget the "raptor gaze" of a Rahl. Or Jagang's biceps.Originally Posted by theundeadhero
I agree completely that TV-Zedd is pretty bad. And unfortunately there is still no sign of Nathan.I couldn't get into the show. I tried watching the first few episodes and it was just let down after let down. Zedd and Nathan were some of my favorite characters in the series. I didn't watch long enough to see what they could do with Nathan because the guy acting as Zedd just did a horrible job compared to what I see him as. I much prefer imagination land.Goodkind's series is worthwhile, despite some of the mediocre writing, mostly because of some of the great characters like those two.
No. And that's not helpful, just because you like it doesn't mean I would.Maybe you should read some of the thread to find out.
Then why the smurf are you even asking! And why the smurf do you still have a Christmas signature! I hate you! Go suck a toad!
Because Raistlin likes it and I like him more than you. Hmph. And because I'm Chewie.
You don't like him more than me, there's no use tying to lie about it.
Raistlin and I mostly like the same things anyway. That's why he picked "Raistlin" for his username--he was hoping using the name of my favorite character from anything ever would seduce me.
If you like fantasy books where everybody gets raped, then this is the series for you! Or if you prefer the version where rape is replaced with Epic Hairography then stick with the show. It's on Ninjavideo.net.
Trying to be somewhat objective, I don't consider the TV show to be much above mediocre, with a couple of good characters and the occasional interesting subplot. I freely admit that I'm watching solely because of the connection with the book series, which I enjoyed.
EDIT: yes, Shlup, when I was 12 and had no idea you existed, I was trying to seduce you.
And while we do have similar preferences for a lot of things, you like Twilight, which pretty much voids any opinion you may have about anything. Ever.
EDIT2: who has epic hair in the TV show? "Epic Cleavageography" would be more accurate.
You've caught me.
And that sounds amazing. I will definitely give both a try. Books before show?
EDIT: ^LULZ. You two are cute. :P
I'm mostly watching for Bridget Regan, and now Tabrett Bethell. And Craig Horner when he has his shirt off and/or is making bedroom eyes at Bridget Regan. Who I follow on Twitter.
That would be my thought, but I've also heard from some people who started with the show first (now including Shlup) that reading the books lessened their enjoyment of the TV show somewhat. So it might be beneficial to watch the show first before you get the better version of the plot in the books. Really, up to you.

I would absolutely recommend show before books.
