Legend of the Seeker
Dec. 22nd, 2009 09:39 amThe other day, since there was nothing on TV, I watched an episode of Legend of the Seeker. When it started, I had this sense of deja vu, like, doesn't this look exactly like Hercules and Xena? It does. Because it is brought to us by the same people. (Oh Rob Tappert, never change.) And despite the fact that those shows were in Ancient Greece and this one is in medieval fantasyland, they look pretty much the same. I even recognize the same shooting locations in New Zealand ("Hey! That's Bethel's Beach! Again."), and probably some of the same stunt people. I feel like it needs to be said--this is not a good show. At all, really.
Even so, I went back and watched the pilot. ( Spoilers for the pilot of Legend of the Seeker. Come on, I know none of you care if you get spoiled for this show. Just click on the link. )
That would be a fantastic show. I want that show. Too bad Legend of the Seeker is generic fantasyland drek. Seriously, I think the writers just went back to their file drawer of rejected Hercules scripts and replaced the names. ("Hercules--er, I mean Richard--you must find your inner courage...")
