Sword of Truth - T.V. Series

[Psychonaut]

I've only read the first so far but I'm concerned about how this will be brought to tv without making it too watery (Mord Sith).

I agree. It'll definately be difficult to bring a book series that is easily NC-17 to ABC/Disney channel.

Granted a lot of the graphic sections can be edited so I don't think that it'll be too bad. Though when the main character destroys people with his sword it gets really really graphic, lol.

Yeah, not to ruin what the story is, but basically to educate others, Mord Sith are women that are in skin tight leather that torture people to the brink of death for the main bad guy.

I/ve read all of these books and my wife is on the 7th book and rushing through them as well. We have both been optomistic with Raimi being behind the production - but the trailer looks to be a huge let down. Looks like a sci-fi channel series.

The landscapes look grand, but the characters are too clean looking and too pretty. Zedd doens't look old enough and Chase doesn't look tough enough. Kahlan releasing her power looked cheesy and Richard just doesn't seem to look like he has that deep intelligence the character possesses in the books.

They also shouldn't have changed the name of the series. Any fans of the book who don't know about the show will now probably miss this while thumbing through the channels. All in all, this looks DOA. I'll watch the first episode, but after seeing that trailer, I have no hopes at all for this series.
