<div>I watched my first episode of Seeker yesterday. I think it was Scott who said it was on Wednesday. Thanks for mentioning that, because when I looked it up a few days before, I found it was on Saturdays, but they were re-runs.</div>
<div>Its funny because I have had the Sword Of Truth books packed away in my basement, stored with my thousands of other paperbacks, for quite a few years. Somehow I missed or forgot about this show coming out. I think the format idea is great: an indefinitely-long TV series to handle a fantasy series. You can really cover the entire mainstream story with that, as well as potentially go beyond in other directions as well. Of course, that all depends on the lifespan of the show; unfortunately, more likely than not, that tends not to exceed one or two seasons. </div>
<div>There are quite a few fantasy/SF epics in book form that Ive always wanted to have large-scale treatment like this. I think Anne McCaffrey's Pern stories could be good; Earthsea was done, and The Mists Of Avalon, but how much justice was done to the written works was debateable. Glen Cook's Black Company series comes to mind, and so does the Shannara books. </div>
<div>CGI has widened the filmakers toolbox to visualize the fantastical; hopefully Seeker may open the floodgates at little wider, maybe setting a precedent for producers to bring classic fantasy series to TV in a syndicated format. Wishful thinking, most likely.</div>

<div>Seekers and Confessors; who thinks they are Law-oriented, and who thinks they are more Balance-oriented? </div>
