It was cancelled because Disney didn't want to fund a third season after bankrupt Tribune couldn't pay for a new season for its stations (plus Disney wants to dump ABC). Did you watch any of LotS from ep 8 onward, when it improved markedly?
@digital2500 I agree with you. This series has a lot of fantasy cliches, and I find it amusing. Eragon has cliches too, but I like it a lot. My favorite part about it is Sapphira. She is a fresh spin on the dragon cliche. There is nothing like her in the Legend of the Seeker though.
personally i love this serise itz a mix of happy sad funny and blood(which i stuff into the funny catigory but thats just me) and other stuff im to lazy to name
GAH are you serious FIRST FUCKING EPISODE and they seriously screwed it that much up? The whole reason he wanted to go after Darken Rahl was because HE killed his father not some dude who was chasing Kahlan....STUPID STUPID STUPID, and yet I keep watching this crap.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why isnt Darken Rahl blonde?
Why isnt Darken Rahl Richard's father?
Why did they have to fuck up my perceptions so much. They shoulda just made a series LIKE the Sword of truth, not motherfuckin take the names and characters and totally fuck it up. This fails.
All I'm going to say is Eragon begining it's all the same, Eragons Uncle/Father dies He has to go on a Journey to kill a sutain person and save the day. An old man and a women(Saphira) will help him an teach him. Everybody in Eragons village seams to turn against him and blabla bla,...
I suppose what I like to say tis is my shit!!^w^ I absolutely love itXD
This is so bad. So freakin' cheesy...and messed up! Way to go, Goodkind. Pass up countless movie offers because they wouldn't be able to 'stay true to the book', and then let reigning king director of B-movies make a mini-series of it.
i didn't read the book but this series is so damn good and the guy is so hot so whatever you say this series is really great and im having a great time watching it :)
u need to read the books....u will be very VERY dissapointed with this t.v series, the books are WAY better, you won't regret reading them!!! I promise
I agree with moon! It would have been A lot better if it went with the book. Thinking of the book and watching this makes it douse in confusion...
Richard isn't sexy but his "have to save the girl and care" is sexy Along with intelligence. In the book made him sound a lot more sexier..just my opinion
I agree with what everyone says here of course it's frustrating that it doesn't look like the books but I do think it is good and TG trusted them enough to allow it And Im glad to see something other then reality shows something more original then what we are acustomed to see But of course everyone has their opinion and we should accept that
As for me I'll give it a try but we have to agree isn't he sexy without his shirt?;)
We all need a little Richard in our life girl(not cause of the shirt)
I don't like this at all...it has ruined my love for the sword of truth, and I agree that Terry shouldn't have had them make the tv series without actually reading some of the facts first. I will continue watching on, I am a bit curious on Denna, and a few other occurences, but I mean...it's upsetting.
I totaly agree with you. It makes it confusing, and your waiting for something to happen when it never does. It's Highley confusing with the way they made it. I wish they would have made the movie the same as the book. With the length it would have fit.
Well, I'm glad they call it Legend of the Seeker, and not Sword of Truth.. Somehow that just makes this hybrid, warped version of SoT that much more bearable.
Richard is not a brash, careless man - not as a woods guide and no less as the lord of the D'haran Empire. This view of Richard is uncomplimentary and so far off the mark it's almost ridiculous.
I hate to be so negative about it all, but I think Terry Goodkind made a grave mistake allowing these people to do what they have done to a great series. So much of it no longer makes sense: Richard being Zedds grandson and all that it represents, Richard falling in love with Kahlan but not knowing who or what she is, the fact that it states in the book that Richard would not have had the chance to get to know Kahlan (which actually I always believed was "Kah - Lan"; not "Kay - Lan")
i don't really like the shows...they are much different than the books....stuff happen in different orders....and Zedd is suppose to be Richards best friend...but not in here...Richard doesn't even like the old man. i love the book better!!
They actually did a decent job on the series so far but it takes so many episodes before they start following the story better. They cut some semi-important characters but overall it gets better :3
Uh, you're all entitled to your own opinion, but the fact is that Terry Goodkind entrusted the adaptation of the books to Sam Raimi and not to previous directors because he felt that the latter didn't uphold the books the way he wanted it. And the show isn't supposed to follow the books all the way anyway...
The show is okay, but a little frustrating. And I love the books. It makes sense they didn't want to say that Richards mother got raped by Darken Rahl. I doubt they will even say he's his real father.
No, that it's not just like the book (at all) does not make it a terrible show, though it is an insult to the fans. What makes it a HORRENDOUS show is the miserable script, shoddy camera work, Power Ranger props, lack of a strong cast (with the exception of Darken Rahl and Zedd, though they are still written poorly), and yes, the disregard for the original characters and storyline.

had he known who she really was and what she stood for.. There was just no point in cutting that out.
I think the editing and some of the directing is pretty good.. but all in all, it was a very mediocre outcome.
The only person I believe to be capable of putting this incredible series to screen is Peter Jackson.
