finally i got to see the first episode of LotS. it answered some questions about the show.

mainly, it appears that Richard did not read the entire Book of Counted Shadows. i wonder how they’re going to end the season, then. unless Richard just pretends to have the book memorized, when all he knows is the first line, which is arguably the most important. I’ll see soon enough.

i don’t like that they changed Richard’s mother. In the book, she brought him across the boundary and married the widowed Mr Cypher, to die years later in a fire. In this TV series, she was left behind in Brennaden and might even be alive. eh. i don’t like that.

i still wish Richard was more manly and less boyish.
