I've, um, accidentally started sampling a few episodes of
Legend of the Seeker (call it a misplaced bout of
Xena nostalgia, or just desperation for some genre entertainment until the new episodes of
Doctor Who [!!!] start up).
And, okay, the show has its
crack charms, but what it really makes me long for is a splashy film version starring Lucy Liu as Kahlan, Cameron Diaz as Cara, and of course Drew Barrymore as Richard.
Come on, just try to tell me that wouldn't be awesome, I dare you!

Dude meaning Terry Goodkind, or the Richard character, or the generic hero's journey, or all of the above?
So far the episodes that I've seen keep talking about them being on a quest, guided by a magic compass that will lead them to a special stone, and then they either get distracted from the quest by a side-adventure or have enemies try to thwart them from completing their quest. Which apparently is very important. Somehow.
So, yeah, the storyline is presumably not the selling point here....
"Apparently" and "somehow" hold the book together, I think!
