I am reading the first book and it says that Kahlan has brown hair, green eyes. FYI.

Kahlen? Long blond hair down to her butt...remember, hair is a symbol of status and only confessors are allowed to wear it long, only mother confessors down to their butt... And I don't mind his acting too much, I still always thought Zedd was a little more handsome though... Zedd creeps me out and he always makes his eyes bulge...adds lots to the creepy factor.... So if long hair is a symbol of status, is Denna really high up there? Her hair was pretty long... The Mord Sith play what role exactly in Darken Rahl's kingdom...aside from the obvious sadistic torture? Are they like soldiers or just reserved to torture the "prisoners of war"?

Yep, I know she is supposed to have th longest hair in the Midlands. I don't know why I thought it was red.

Ah, been too long since I've read the earlier ones...thanks for the heads up skitty...
The hair as a status symbol is actually a thing for the Midlands...Denna isn't from there so the rules don't apply to her...though actually the Mord Sith do hold a fairly high place in the system...pretty much nobody but Lord Rahl himself outranks them...they're his personal guards and torturers...

They aren't following this convention about the hair as far as I can tell. We've seen all kinds of women in the series and most of them have pretty long hair and they are in the Midlands.

i just started watching this show on graboid since i don't have cable or anything and i haven't read the books but so far i think this show is pretty cool, only thing that kinda annoys me is the slow-motion fighting..

The slo-mo fights are supposed to ilustrate Richard's ability to anticpate his enemies moves and counte rthem when using the Sword of Truth but they do it too much. They do it for kahllen too.
In the show, they haven't explained why Kahlen is such a good fighter yet. It's explained in the books. I wont give it away yet. They may still get into it.

So, I've been watching another marathon...I think I'm down to one episode behind...I LOVE Violet and Rachel, and very glad they've introduced the two...I was a little disappointed in the Mord Sith episode...personally, I think they should have delayed that one 'till near the end, like in the book...Shota was absolutely great!

I did not like the last scene of the Mord Sith episode. That was not supposed to happen. She was supposed to die and stay dead.
Rachel didn't go to the right place either. Oh well.

Well, hopefully they'll correct the Rachel thing...nothing we can do about Denna though...I thought they had the look and attitude down solid though...

Now that I have officially finished book one, the show seems a little different because I am of course seeing all the parts that are not like the book! But it is still good. But the book is much better!!

The interesting thing about this show is it does a good job getting some details like the look of the Mord Sith down really well but then they change crucial plot points.
Overall. I still like the show.

FYI, according to the LOTS website, this weekend and next weekend are repeats. Next new episode won't be until the weekend of the 21st. There will be a grand total of 15 episodes, so that means four more new ones to be shown.

Cool...15's not bad...though I'm a little surprised...it's neither a half-season nor a full season, but somewhere in the middle...
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the show, and hoping it gets some people to go out and read the books!
