Legend of the Seeker vs. Wizard's First Rule
Ok, so I watched the show before I read the books. This is entirely out of character for me because I usually go the other route, assuming that the books would naturally be better than the television/movie adaption. Problem was I saw a clip from the show featuring Cara in her red leather glory and became a very shallow and hormonal teenager once ( Read more... )
And you know what! I kind of stopped because my life is reeeeaaaally really busy lol. I've started watching the second season slowly, but hey I'm a single mom, work 40+ hours a week, AND I still go to Vet school. So don't rag on me too much. I started watching it and then my ex was all like "Lets watch it together!" Then we got into a huuuuuge fight about the kids and she wanted to take her baby and... let's not get into it. Long story short, I associated the show with her and I was like "Bitch plz, I'm not watchin that if your still watching it" (I'm not bitter) And I was also NOT pleased with Denna. I had a bitch fit when they got to her part and I was like "....WHAT?! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER CHARACTER?! THATS CHARACTER RAPE!!"
And thus my opinion on the show went down. And they also just did the one dimensional "Lets hang people by chains and stab them with an agiel" bit. The torture in the books was MUCH more colorful.
This community online has peaked my interest back in the show. Especially when I saw the screen caps from the Sister Nicci stuff. I hated that part in the books, but I loved the action that Sister Nicci did to Kahlan, and leaving Kahlan and Cara alone for a year... which was what helped me come up with the Fanfic for "Confessions". Kahlan gets MUCH tastier later in the books, but I had the books on tape, which helped me cheat through all the boring parts.
I do agree with you about the Cara making a guest appearance, because the books really are lengthy... I'm glad I had them on tape or else I would have gotten bored haha. I will take up your challenge on watching the rest of the show if you finish the books. And besides, I am a sado-masochist. Makes life more interesting. I love torturing myself, that's why I'm going in next week for a 8 hour tattooing session on such an excrutiatingly painful part of my body, the ankle and top of the foot. The calf and stuff I'm not so worried about because that's mostly flesh. The boney part... Mmm that's gonna hurt.
And I think I'm just going to not take the show too seriously, I just have to find time to watch it lol
