The Legend of the Seeker (Wizard's First Rule) - Nov 1st & 2nd - Blu-ray Forum

Exactly! In the books everyone knew who and what the Seeker was, but knew only a post to be feared. It was never one of leadership, but used as a 'tool' or assassin. They even stated in the books that when there was a 'true' Seeker, all he did was seek the truth, not lead army or whatever. And what you are saying about people following him because he is Richard and I completely agree. In the books people hardly seemed to care that he was The Seeker unless he sliced off a few limbs or cut through swords (which he apparently cannot do in the TV show, the sword cutting part).

It is a shame what they are doing with Kahlan's character as I feel the actual actress is doing a good job being her and is getting misguided by the script. Oh and isn't funny how no one bows to the Mother Confessor or even state that she is her? I understood in the first book that Richard didn't know until later on that she was the 'Mother' Confessor until later. Though now after being in towns as how THE ENTIRE MIDLANDS know who the Mother Confessor is, it seems very odd how none of them recognize her right away and bow.

Side note, there are plenty of women in the Midlands with long hair and they are all allowed to use fire in the tv show.

I too remember reading about Terry stating that the TV show would be able to 'do more' than the book was able to. The example I remember reading about was showing how George Cypher crossed the boundary to steal the book of Counted Shadows and the battle between his and the beast guarding it. Yet there has only been 1 hint that this actually has taken place as when Richard threw the book into the fire and he just shrugged it off.

You mentioned the Map Maker and how they should of killed him. I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but that was Ted Raimi whom was Joxer in Xena as well as plays a role in all of Sam Raimi's movies and tv shows. I have a feeling that he will be appearing some more in the series.

Though I cannot wait until I see good ole Bruce Campbell appear in the series. I was hoping that he would be Chase, but I have a feeling he didn't want to be tied down to a role and wanted to persue his movie career.
