I missed the entire first two episodes. I worry about it being on Saturday night and being on NBC. I think they have already deviated from the book too much. The whole memorizing of the book being left out could be interesting. One thing that I really didn't like is the fact that Richard doesn't even know Zed in the tv shoe. In the books Zed is his best friend and they have a chemistry that comes along with being best friends. They seemed to zip through the first third of the first book in these two episodes. They are also lacking a lot of humorous moments that are in the book. One of my favorite parts in the first book is when Kahlan asks Richard to help her find the Wizard. Richard figures it out and he is the one that introduces Zed to Kahlan. The actors have done an okay job. I hope that the actor playing Richard can grow into the role more quickly. As for him overacting, that to me is as much fault of the director as it is the actor. The director has to tell him that he is overacting or to just do it better. All in all it looked like a good show with some real potential. Let's hope that this syndication helps the show be successful and more importantly let's hope that they are letting Terry Goodkind guide this series. I thought that he was suppose to write the episodes, but he has been given no writing credits with the show. I was a bit disappointed that I never even heard what station this was going to be on.

There are some major points 'not' made correctly in line with the books, however, I believe this series shows real promise. Kahlan is represented VERY well by the young actress, but Richard Cypher (or those of us who read the whole series know him by his other 'name') needs to step it up and not look like he is trying so hard at acting. The Zedd in this series represents Zedd VERY well by his constant hunger for food (literally), but needs to use more 'truth' in his speech. He was not called the Seeker solely until about midway through the seeker which it was short for the "Seeker of Truth." He is the truth seeker which is why Richard needs to ask alot more logical and reasoned out questions. Zedd's implication towards Richard as the Seeker of Truth is only as forward as Richard's questions about everything in the series. The biggest key part they missed in this series however is the simple fact of Richard 'Memorizing' the Book of Counted Shadows. That simple 'truth' branches into the latter books MAKING the plot of the whole series. This series is actually proving to be very interesting.

I've been waiting to see how this turned out. His first book was quite good, and I think, done well, it'll make a better TV series than book series. Oooh, thanks for the update.
