Here it is SPOILERS. And it definitely looks legit. The first time I saw it the pics weren't coming up, some of them still aren't, but a few are and they look like legit screencaps from a rough cut.
Here's a good one that I copied in case the originals flake out again. For those who just want to see what a certain person looks like in her tight leather outfit with a certain blunt object. Plot spoiler if you haven't read the book.

Well...that's actually somewhat promising.
I hold no hope it'll actually be handled well though.

My GF read ALL of those books and was very interested in this show. Since I'm the one with the HDTV I was charged with DVR'ing them for her.
I like it well enough. Nothing wrong with it. She on the other hand gasps out loud about every 10 mins when something is different than the book. She likes it too, but seems to be more watching it just for the book differences.

Has anyone read about how this is doing ratings-wise?
My local channel which carries the show no longer has it on their schedule. I know a new episode is expected this weekend too. I can't believe local ratings have been so bad that they're dropping it from the late Saturday hour they had been showing it.

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
My local station shows it 11PM Sunday night, so a 1.9 for slots like that probably isn't too bad.
The show site says "Denna" is on this weekend, but according to both myway and TVGuide my local station is showing a repeat of "Identity" this week. Myway has an episode called "Puppeteer" next week while TVGuide has "Denna".

I was cloning computers in the lab yesterday and watched the first three eps on Hulu.
Not bad.
I'll watch a few more this weekend and see if I still like it.

The last two episodes have only been recorded for 30 mins each on my DVR in Dallas, Time Warner. The 2nd half, to be exact.
Stupid syndicated shows and automatic timed digital recording devices.

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
So we watched Identity and Denna last night.
Lot's of good stuff in the Denna episode....inlcuding the actress that plays Denna. Yum.
From what I can pick up from Google searches the show is doing fine in the ratings. Hopefully it will continue. I need a show for mindless fantasy now that Atlantis is gone.

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
Shows been getting real good and 'tighter' Though they have alot of episodes surrounding kids (did the seeker have to save kids in the book?), I like how they stay darker in the sense of killing people freely.
Plus Michael Hurst is directing a few episodes already and that is fucking awesome. I got my fingers crossed he comes out as a semi regular eventually.

Glad to hear it. Do we have a link?

'Seeker' gets second look
Disney renews drama for second season
By CYNTHIA LITTLETON
'Legend of the Seeker'
Tribune has renewed Disney's and Sam Raimi's 'Legend of the Seeker,' for a second season in syndication.
Disney's experiment in reviving the firstrun syndie drama biz with the Sam Raimi-produced "Legend of the Seeker" has paid off with a second-season renewal on the Tribune Broadcasting stations.
Filmed in New Zealand and based on Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" book series, "Seeker" has delivered a credible 2.0 household rating or so in its run to date. It scored a 1.6 household rating for the week ended Jan. 11.
Its two-hour preem in November posted a 2.9, indicating an appetite among viewers for the kitschy fantasy-action genre that peaked in the late 1990s with "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena: Warrior Princess."

The writing for the show has improved as the season has progressed. So far they seem to be taking the show more seriously than the direction either Hercules or Xena went in, which I agree with.

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
Ohh hell yea; it was an awesome episode too. I liked the ghost effects. But it pisses me off that he wont be a semi regular. I was hoping theyd cast his as DrakenRahls evil wizard to fight Zed.
Im glad this show is serious (so far), I mean it has to be when theyre actually killing people. But I fear them doing an ep where its today real life and the actors are portraying Tapert and Riami, etc.

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
So am I the only one that watching this till the end?
It was a great damn season and they wrapped it up like a series finale. Doing some research it seems that there are bigger things to come as per the books, so I am really wanting season 2.
I loved this show. Best Ive seen on TV since Rome. Cant WAIT for the DVDs!

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
I wanted to watch it, but the syndicated station it was run on near me did it absolutely NO justice at all. It showed all over the place, sometimes after sporting events... sometimes Saturday nights at 11pm, other times scattered during the day. My DVR was never able to record anything consistently, so I gave up.

Re: The Legend of the Seeker
I stuck through the whole season and enjoyed it. The season finale in particular was a lot of fun. My local station didn't jerk it around too much (I just missed one episode where they pushed it back an hour and my DVR recorded the original timeslot), but they were very reluctant to air it in HD. I think only 4 or 5 episodes total this season were hi-def. I'm definitely in for a season 2.
