The show stands on its own merits. I've been reading comments on this blog and others about how deeply disappointed folks are that the series strays from the books and here's what I have to say - get over it! Why is it necessary that the show be exactly the same? It is an adaptation. If you don't like it, stop watching it!

However, a thing to note is that if all the things in the book were in the show, the show would be rated WAY differently. Anyway, I'm so glad to be hooked on a new show!

I loved the show so much that I started to read them. I have noticed that all the episodes so far are from the first book. I was a little disappointed after reading the first book (over the break in new episodes) that it was not entirely accurate to the sequence in the book and that they had omitted several things. That said I still love this show and will continue to watch it and read the books, but I am curious to see how they are going to explain the Book Of Counted Shadows at the end, how they are going to solve the dilemma of figuring out which box is which.

It would have been easy to show that, although Richard's father never told him why, he had Richard memorize that book. I loved that in the original story. I miss the Zedd/Richard friendship, but I look forward to watching it develop on the show. Likewise, I was disappointed with Richard and Kahlan's meeting. I really loved the bond they formed in the books and the wayward pine. But again, by giving them an antagonistic meeting... the show allows us to watch friendship grow between them. I knew things would change when I heard that Disney was involved. The Mord Siths... I guess I'd better just resign myself to the story changes now. :D I agree John.

Seriously though, I don't have a problem w/ them giving the writers fodder for building Richard/Zedd's relationship up in the show from scratch. I think that will give them more stuff to add in for character development. Richard did know him they just weren't pals. Regarding the book - I don't know, but I'm suspecting that they've got other things up their sleeves for explaining why they did that.

I love the books and I thought the series was okay, however I feel that they have left out to many crucial elements that could make this series a great hit. For starters, Zedd and Richard were the best of friends in the books. In the tv series Richard thinks Zedd is a complete nutter!!! This small cut from the books completly ruins the whole story. Without the relationship that Zedd and Richard share the story is ruined. I also think that the producers of the show made a very big mistake in destroying the book of counted shadows. The book is perhaps the single most important part of the story seeing as how it is the book that helps Richard defeat Darken Rahl in the beginning and Emporer Jagang in the end. All in all I feel they could have made the series more like the books with only a few small changes and they would still have a large audience.
