As a novel lover i come across many writers particularly in the fantasy section. Some of my favorite writers are Mr. Terry Goodkind, David Edding and also R.A Salvatore.
Imagine my happiness when i heard that Terry Goodkind novel was going to be on TV. So as a fan i logged on the net and searched for the premiere of The legend of the seeker henceforth be knowns as WFRTV (Wizards First Rule TV).
After a few searching i found it on Youtube and proceeded to watch it. Then mixed feeling ensued, it was good seeing Richard and Kahlan again but at the same time i can’t help feeling that they were strangers to me. I don’t know much about acting but the way they acted reminded me of Hercules and Xena. No surprise there considering the touch of Sam Raimi.
Mr. Terry Goodkind before this indicated that he would not like his work to be tampered with if it is converted into other mediums but what i saw on that 10 minute was complete and utter bullshit. Forgive me for blasting at Mr. Terry Goodkind but this TV series is so campy that i can even put up a tent while viewing that series.
My view maybe prejudiced because i feel like i know both Richard and Kahlan from that series but then again this maybe the only time i can see and feel the spirit of the series.
I am a very forgiving person and also a very patient man. If anything in life has taught me its giving TV series a second chance. So i hope that i will like it after i see the full episode. If not then Sam Raimi will be on my Uwe Boll list.
