I love Legend of the Seeker. Because of the show, I started to read the books too *the Sword of Truth series* and I fell in love with them – I’m going to start the 5th book next – just finishing Memnoch first – and I always told myself not to compare the books with the show because I know it’s different and it should be.
Unfortunately I do compare the show with the books sometimes… but the non-following of the books is not the cause of me not liking the second season. The second season so far has too many mistakes, too many things that it shouldn’t be there.
1º - The “Banneling” episode. Richard suggesting to the High Priest kill all the D’Harans soldiers (and Kahlan accepting) was one of the worst mistakes they could have done. I’m sorry, but since when Richard or Kahlan accept killing someone to help themselves? Never, ever! That go against everything Richard is. It’s a huge mistake, and every time I remember this, I want to scream!
2º - The “Touched” episode. I adore the Richard and Kalhan part… but the episode had too many things happening. It was hurried… and if Zeed can kill every baneling like that, why the work in previous episode? It is not being coherence.
3º - The Underworld part… Oh.My.God. No no no no… it is terrible. Darken Rahl stays in the gate waiting for someone to die *and only someone connected with Richard dies* and EVERYBODY goes to the underworld – and in that particular place? No one has a good soul there? Including the High Priest of course. The best part to me *cough* so far was the Keeper’s voice… amazing. Really amazing…
4º - Richard’s anger. Richard is not in command all the time. He is angry all the time. All the time. He fights for everything now… sometimes you see there isn’t so much point in a fight, but there you go. You have a huge fight scene, just to have a fight scene in the episode.
5º - Kalhan. They are changing Kahlan’s character a lot lately. The only thing the new Kahlan knows to do is scream for Richard. And not to say the way she doesn’t know how to protect herself anymore. Now if you notice, Zeed and/or Richard always has to cover her in a fight scene. What happened to you, Kahlan? And this is making Cara appear more and more… not that I don’t like Cara. I love her! Books and show. But Kahlan is Kahlan, you don’t take away her space on the show. And btw, making Cara kill Dennee was a TERRIBLE idea.
I’m not even comment on Wizard’s episode… I couldn’t watch twice yet (and I do watch every episode at least twice per week) Because it’s that good.
If you read the spoilers you will see it keeps better and better. What are they doing with my show?
Please screenwriters, please stop changing it so much
The show will be cancelled if continues like this, and I really REALLY don’t want that!
