Millions of readers the world over have been held spellbound by this valiant tale vividly told. Now, enter Terry Goodkind's world, the world of The Sword of Truth. In the aftermath of the brutal murder of his father, Richard Cypher discovers a mysterious woman in his forest sanctuary named Kahlan Amnell. She has come seeking help...and much, much more. Richard's world, his very beliefs, are shattered when ancient debts come due with thundering violence. In their darkest hour, hunted relentlessly, tormented by treachery and loss, Kahlan calls upon Richard to reach beyond his sword-to invoke within himself something more noble. Neither knows that the rules of battle have just changed...or that their time has run out. This is the beginning. One story. One Rule. Witness the birth of a legend. Written by Terry Goodkind
All any of us have so far is a cast list (incomplete) and a rather short teaser trailer, lets not go off the deep end judging the whole series based on it.
1.) If you like Terry Goodkind as an Author do you seriously think he would gamble his reputation (to say nothing of vision for Sword of Truth saga) by allowing his name to be connected with this series if he did not approve of what they were doing?
2.) No Movie much less Television series can completely represent a written novel (many things just don't translate visually). Many things cannot be shown, and others must be added for dramatic impact.
3.) Casting decisions? Ever consider that they might have done the best they could to match the characters in a dramatic sense rather than Visual, or that they were limited to some degree by who was available, willing, and also able to dramatically portray the characters? Give the show a chance, watch it, if you like it good, if you don't then you can post comments about what in your 'professional' opinion they could have done better.
