Yeah, the show was fluff. It was cotton candy at best. It lacked the cohesiveness, the scope, the depth, the edge, and the darkness of the books. And worse, it was poorly cast and poorly written. The git playing Richard was like a surfer boy in Seeker drag, and the chick playing Kahlan was cute, but not gorgeous, and neither of them had a lick of presence. The old coot playing Zedd was just an idiot, and none of the three could act their way out of a paper bag. It was just embarassing. And the episodes were just a hash of crap, sprinkled with terminology and ideas from the books. It was like Xena: Warrior of Truth....
I'm not even that big a fan of Goodkind, and I was sickened. What his die-hard fans must've thought I shudder to think.
