Have the books, haven't read them; I wonder if the existence of this adaptation owes anything to the TV adaptation of the Terry Goodkind Sword of Truth novels (aka Legend of the Seeker)

haha, I doubt it. Legend of the Seeker only very loosely paid lip service to the books. In the beginning it followed it a bit more, but basically it was xena/hercules in Terry Goodkind's basic world. I honestly attribute the attention to detail they seem to be giving it more to the Lord of the Rings movies... which would have made a pretty darn good episodic show. Perhaps even better than the movies, yes, perhaps.

Maybe I should take it out then, since I pretty strongly disliked the Goodkind novels that I read :P

Yeah, I got seriously burnt out by the third, and stopped after the fifth... Back in high school reading was all I did, so it was much easier to waste time reading a mediocre series than these days >_> Anyway, if you liked the xena/hercules style of show back in the day, you'll like Legend of the Seeker. It's got a lot (all?) of the same influences.
Looks pretty cool to me...too bad I don't have HBO or SHO.
Do not have Showtime. Want to though. Yea, I was thinking about getting some premium channel and dropping netflix. The only thing that pisses me off about Netflix is they have seasons 1 and 2 of Dexter online. But I have to wait for one disc containing three episodes to come in the mail for seasons 3 and 4.
If he concentrated more on writing 'A dance with dragons' and less with taking interviews for this HBO series-I might stop wanting to bludgeon him to death...:x
I care more about when A Dance of dragons comes out. How long has he been writing that for now? Christ on a badger he takes a while. For those who have read it, what did you think of the 4th book A Feast for crows? Most didnt like it but I thought it was very good even though not much seemed to happen and a lot of characters were introduced I didnt care as much about.
