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.

in my DVR I still have 2 episodes of Heroes, one episode of Sanctuary and one of Sarah Connor, plus the replay of the Legend of the Seeker pilot which i missed the first time around.

i just don’t care about Heroes enough to watch 2 hours of it. Sanctuary is something i usually put on in the background. i’m not excited about watching Sarah Connor either. LotS i do want to see, and may watch today.

i’m on vacation next week, so i’m using that as an excuse for not getting these shows cleared out of my DVR - i need stuff to watch next week. i really don’t need any such thing. i can always find something to watch. besides which, i have the first 3 Indiana Jones movies on order from Amazon. i got Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for x-mas and enjoyed it muchly. i’m going to have an Indiana Jones marathon one day on my vacation.

ooOOO. i just checked my tracking # and my movies were delivered today.

damn damn damn. i just found out that the show labeled Legend of the Seeker was really TMZ. damned CW channel. it’s not the first time one of these shows has been mislabeled. once again, Hulu.com will save the day.
