Legend of the Seeker - November 1, 2008
I’m forever amazed that people actually think it contains the same messages that Goodkind delivers in his novels.
I agree with you on that .... I’ve found message/ethical lesson of each episode is as shallow and simple as the “The More You Know” messages. They won’t portray Goodkind’s original philosophical views because they would tick too many people off. In and ironic twist if go down the list of the Wizards rules you’ll see the TV series breaks them. For example ... “People are stupid, they will believe something either because they want to believe it’s true or they are afraid it is”, people believe this farce of a TV show is GOOD, and you won’t change their mind. The more you try to change their minds the more they will argue with you!
OK .. I need to stop these rants ....... :::big breath::: ok .. . Im good ... sorry ...

Oh, it is a terrible show… but it won’t stop me from watching it for the hope that maybe, maybe someday they’ll get it right…

what does Terry Goodkind think of the television show? His response:
“I’ve been writing the SWORD OF TRUTH SERIES for the last few decades. This entire thing began with just me, alone, in a room by myself… It’s difficult for any creator to develop characters and stories and see them changed. The characters in the television series are not true to the characters in the books. A lot has changed. That’s the negative. But the positive side is that a lot of new readers have been brought into the books, as a result of the television show… Everyone that has been brought into the series by either a friend or a family member or a co-worker or similar, so the fans that have come to the books as a result of the television series are no different. It was simply another path to here. For that, I’m grateful. The television series is just an entry point to much more.”
Shortly after, the moderator then pointed, “How involved are you with the television series?” to which Terry humbly replied;
“I’m not involved at all. I’m writing new books, working on new stories, and developing new ideas. Disney purchased the SWORD OF TRUTH series property, it’s theirs to develop into a television program that is entertaining and enjoyable and that’s what they do best. What I do best is write stories.”
