The Shannara Chronicles

I enjoyed it. thought they did a good job casting Will and I like manu as Allanon but he should have a bigger beard. I like thed premier and the affects and sets are well done

It was alot to take in since I was unfamiliar with it, but I liked it a good bit. I taped it (yes, i still do that) but it will come on again tonight at 8 for those that missed it.

I think I would be interested in the books now. I will have to track them down.

I remember readin the Sword of Shannara series when I was in high school. I really enjoyed those books.

Me too. The original trilogy of the Sword, Elf Stones, and Wishsong of Shannara. I devoured the series back in the day.

It's been 30 years tho, and I remember very little of them. I think the show doesn't strictly follow the books, so it will be interesting to see what feels familiar.

Somehow I skipped over this series. The Robert Jordan books took up a good bit of time though.

I cant believe the high production values of some of the cable shows now. Looks as good, if not better, than many feature films.

for those who have never read them, the basic idea is that this takes placed thousands of years in our future. after a cataclysmic war destroys everything the elves re-emerged and the Druids started...they are the sorcerers of this series. the books are generational and follow the same families for the most part as I recall, both among elves and humans

I love the Shannara series. thanks for the reminder, I did not realize it starts tomorrow. I truly hope they do the books justice.

For those that are into fantasy, I believe this show premieres tomorrow at 10:00 p.m. on Mtv. I have never read the Terry Brooks stories but it looks like it's worth a try.
