What a great season opener... actually I saw that it was a two hour open I got excited but when I went to watch the first hour was a finale of season one but that was cool to get caught up in the story and then move on to season two. This premiere was like one reveal after another.. I kept saying OMG... OMG... they have lots of big things planned for season 2.. can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Frak!  I had heard the almighty ratings were not good this season but I really think they are wrong.  I wish they had a way to figure them out better.  I know many are watching it via www.hulu.com (http://www.hulu.com) and other sources.  Love this show and have been really enjoying this season too.  I hope they have time still to maybe to have some kind of finale episode.

Wait, slow down. WGN tribune isn't picking up the show again, but they haven't canceled it yet. It's still in syndication in other places and they haven't said it was canceled yet. looking at their list of stations carrying it, I don't think we have much to worry about.
Title: Re: "Legend of the Seeker" - season two
Post by: Rico on March 05, 2010, 07:14:06 AM
You are technically correct, the series is made by ABC Studios and they pay the bills.  However, if Tribune isn't going to carry it and syndicate it (which means they don't want to buy a season three) then it's unlikely ABC will order a third season.  Tribune has pretty much the widest list of stations (including the biggie of WGN) showing the series right now.  So, while the series could be still saved I feel it's not likely.  However, here is some info on where to write to express your desire for a season three, etc.

Really been enjoying the last couple of episodes and the whole season so far.  If you have yet watched this great series, you are really missing one of the most beautiful shot shows on TV right now.  The scenery is gorgeous in New Zealand, not too mention the great cast.  If you enjoy a good, romantic, epic fantasy tale - give this series a try.

WOW - this is cool!  I just saw that Netflix has all of Season One AND Season Two (up to the current episode) to watch via streaming download.  I urge everyone with Netflix and those who enjoy great fantasy to watch this beautiful series.

Twitter seems to way to go.. here's another tweet to confirm it's been canceled.

Actress Bridget Regan, who plays Confessor Kahlan on Legend of the Seeker, has confirmed yesterday's news of the show's cancellation in a Twitter post:

    @Dear_B or should I say Dear Diary? Got some news that Seeker is no more. So sad to say goodbye to my NZ family but excited for what's next.

I really liked this series.  I watched it while Rick uploaded our newsletter on Sunday nights. mu ha ha... I got away to have fun while he was busy working.  Truth be told I usually have my article done much earlier. he he he

I like the fantasy series more that Rick, who is more a straight Sci-fi futuristic geeky dude.  I like the old fashioned period stuff.  I did catch him watching Merlin with our Son Andrew and I the other night.  I think it was his first episode.

I will miss Legend of the Seeker.  Good series.

I just finished watching this series a few days ago and wow I'm really going to miss it. It's a fantastic show, not really sure why I didn't watch it while it was airing, but to others like me who haven't and have Netflix, both seasons are on the Instant Watch so I recommend watching it. Really to bad to see another good show canceled.

I thought the show was OK but it just didn't have enough plot variation to keep my interest through the entire run. As far as fantasy series go I liked Xena far more.

Well, I certainly enjoyed it and found the plots quite interesting through the two seasons it aired.  Much less campy than Xena (which I also watched and enjoyed).  This series was much more of an adventure plus romance between Richard and Kahlan which was done very well - at least in my view.

You're right about Xena being campy, much in the same way as Wonder Woman, but that to me is part of it's charm. Some of the sfx by today's standards don't hold up as well but overall the series was/is enjoyable.

With LOTS it just seemed to me that all they did was wander around. Generally the plots had very little variation and the love relationship was almost a little too dramatic and soapy for my taste. I do admit that the production quality was quite good and the locations were beautiful to look at. I just kept waiting for the series to build up to something important and it never really did. Maybe I just prefer sci-fi over fantasy because I also have trouble enjoying the fantasy quest books (with the exception of Lord of the Rings). I'm trying to work my way through a George RR Martin series (A Song of Fire and Ice) right now and I have to force myself to keep on. I'm hoping it gets better too. Glad you enjoyed the series Rico but it just wasn't for me.

I'm not sure how many episodes you watched Kevin, but A LOT happened on this series in the two seasons it was on.  I'm a bit of a romantic so this series appealed to me probably more because of that aspect.  I'm also probably a bigger fantasy fan too.  I love my Sci-Fi but there's also nothing like a good fantasy of good vs. evil, some great swordplay and beautiful locations.  Probably one of the reason I took up fencing in college.  Anyway, glad you at least gave it a look.

I started watching this series, and was excited because I have read most of the books and loved them. Unfortunately I had to quite after a few episodes because I really felt they broke too much from the books. I am normally pretty forgiving about these things, but some of the stuff they changed for the tv series was just silly in my opinion. The entire Zed - Richard backstory... why change that?

Now my son loved the series and had never read the books. He read the first book afterward, and said that he still loved the show, but he may not have if he had read the books first.

I may try it again since they are on Netflix
Title: Re: "Legend of the Seeker" - season two
Post by: Rico on May 04, 2011, 05:51:10 AM
Glad you gave it a go Duffster.  I loved the series - obviously.  And now after reading the first book I know a bit about some of the changes.  I actually don't feel they are that bad.  I think the essence of the heart of the books (the love between Richard the Seeker and Kahlan the Confessor) is still very much there.  If you can overlook a few of the changes, I think you might enjoy it.  Plus the series gets deeper and more interesting as the season goes on and into season two.  Anyway, hope you give it another go sometime.

Post by: X on May 04, 2011, 06:44:52 AM
I've read all the books and seen the entire series. I think that for you to enjoy the series, you have to divorce yourself from thinking it's in any way connected to the books. The only thing that's the same is a few names. Instead of trying to figure out why they changed this or that or destroyed something that would have been important in the books, I just took it as a show with characters with the same names as people in the books.

If you go into without expecting it to be anything like the books, it will play better.
Title: Re: "Legend of the Seeker" - season two
Post by: Duffster on May 04, 2011, 09:57:07 AM
I see what your saying X and will try it again. After hearing  positives from a lot of people I will give it another shot. I think I was just kinda shocked and jarred when I first started watching it.

I do wish I knew their reasoning for changing it though.  Look at Game of Thrones. Granted a bigger budget can help, but I see very little if any difference between the book and the show.

Anyway, it's on my summer watching list.

I've just come to the end of this series (saw the last two last night) and on the whole I really enjoyed it (marred only by the fact that SyFy didn't broadcast episode 20 which seems to have contained most of the key parts of this season).

There are a few story elements across the two seasons that I could, perhaps, take some issue with but these would be minor niggles on what has been a fun ride.

On the issue of the end of season 2 specifically [spoiler] I like the way that what was effectively meddling in time wasn't able to be used to be set things to 'exactly as they were' which has been done in so many shows. They did get dangerously close to this at one point but the story shied away from it which I think was a good move.

The fact that Zedd seemed satisfied with the way the world ended without more pining for the old world (as we'd seen earlier) also worked well.

I do think, however, that going forward this sort of spell would have been a dangerous reset device. We all know the facility exists in this world now so why not try and use it for every magical problem? (other than the unpredicatable results of course),[/spoiler]

I haven't read the books so I've no idea where this may have gone in the future but I think I would have liked to have seen what the TV company would have done with it.

Thanks for the podcast recommendation Rico.
