fans of legend of the seeker write to ABC studios & Disney so they can get legend of the seeker to a season 3 or even more.to the people who love the books of Terry Goodkind they & Terry should also know that in a TV show that it will probably not follow the books exactly but will probably stray from the books but what fun would it be if you already read the books & know whats going to happen on the show.I read some of the books I like them but I also really like it when they stray away sometimes from the books even though the people who read the books will be mad but on the other hand it makes a lot of fans happy when it is not completely following the books so I hope that the fans of the books will watch the show more they may actually after a while come to like the show even better later on.I think the show is superb with Craig Horner as the seeker & Bridget Regan are superb in the show as well as Bruce Spence & the person who plays Cara. please both fans of the show & the people who love the books help legend of the seeker get to a 3rd season & maybe even more season it has great family values & shows true love between 2 people & the power of love & that in the show they care more about others than themselves it teaches us lessons we forget are selves at times.they show is superb it is what I look forward the most to see the show every time it is on I love every actor & actress on the show like I said it is a superb show for kids & grownups. ABC & Disney please pick up legend of the seeker for a 3rd & maybe more seasons & if ABC & Disney don’t pick up the show some other place like CW should pick it up if they let it go but the show is valuable I believe ABC & Disney should continue with the show legend of the seeker sometimes some shows don’t get enough time & just haven’t been run across by some people so ABC & Disney should let run longer & fans of legend of the seeker should also tell other people about the show legend of the seeker so it gets more familiar on TV which there are already a lot of fans of the show legend of the seeker. I really hope this letter is helpful I am not good at picking words so I hope it doesn’t come across as bad because I believe the show is capable of going to a 3rd & even more seasons with Bridget Regan & Craig Horner who are superb in the show as well as every other actors & actress in the show. so fans please help legend of the seeker get to a 3rd & even more seasons plus please fans of the books please also help the show continue to a 3rd 4th 5th & maybe more seasons write to ABC Disney so they pick the show up & have it continue to a 3rd & maybe more seasons.

I think in legend of the seeker with Craig Horner as the seeker & Bridget Regan they are superb together. I also think they should have more than just the 2nd & 3rd season & even more seasons. they should make it so Richard is immune to Kahlens power so they can be together or by some other way so they can be together & have children without Richard getting hurt by Kahlen’s power as a confessor. I think they should do it because they deserve it even if it by some ancient way so they can be together. Bridget Regan is a superb actress for her role as Kahlen & so is Craig Horner as Richard who is the seeker. so I am hoping others out there can help so they the writers & producers of legend of the seeker will make it so Kahlen & Richard can have sex to have children. Bruce Spence is a superb actor also just like Bridget & Craig Horner

Bridget Regan is superb as well as Craig Horner they together show great respect for 1 & another as well as their love for each other plus both are superb role models for people.with Bridget Regan as the confessor & Craig Horner as the seeker it shows great love compassion forgiveness for each other as well as good family values & how they help so many people & think more of other people before their own needs which is good family values which is helpful for all people to remember.

I cant think of anyone better than Craig horner to play the role the seeker in legend of the seeker & cant think anyone better that Bridget as Kahlan they are all superb they are such a great pair of lovers & their love extends beyond anything. Make sure ABC Terry Goodkind Disney don’t replace either Craig Horner as the seeker or even Bridget Regan they have great chemistry show good morals show how they love each even though they can’t be together. They also do so superb together as a pair of people who love each other as their roles as Richard & Kahlen. I also hope they find a way for them to be together. So help keep both Craig Horner as the seeker without being replaced & keeping Bridget Regan as the seeker without being replaced. the show would do bad without those 2 Craig Horner & Bridget Regan. So tell Terry Goodkind the guy who wrote the book & ABC & Disney as well as Sam Raimi & Rob Tapert. To keep Craig Horner as the seeker & Bridget Regan as the confessor. The show is superb with those 2 including Bruce Spence as zed. so help keep them on the show without being replaced.

I’ve read the books, I absolutely love them, and I have to say, Criag and Bridget are doing a pretty fair job at portraying the roles. They have great chemistry on camera and the actors themselves just seem really down to earth and cool. Yes, the series isn’t exactly like the books, but I wasn’t really expecting them to be, TV always changes books. Thanks to Hulu for posting the episodes!! (although, I have to say, I wish they were on a little bit quicker :] ) ” Nevertheless, overall, it’s a good show, and I look forward to future seasons as I hope there will be! :]

I’d read the entire series and heard about a possible TV series. I think they’re doing a pretty decent job with the broadcast iteration of these tales, honestly.

Of course it won’t be just like the books, but it’s every bit as good a translation from print to live-action as Abrams did with the Star Trek IP, bringing it fresh to a new audience yet with all the characters we loved last millennium. And they explained it away perfectly on the bridge, with Uhura stating it plainly “…an alternate reality.”

I don’t know that I’d like to see LotS go the full 12 seasons, one for each book/primary quest, but I’d be pleased to see it run 7-9 and cover the range of development that R & K went through, and I think it was very well cast. Best wishes.

I appreciated this interview as well, and the sentiments of my fellow fans. I’ve not read the books either, but highly enjoy the genre, and this show has made me plan on buying the books it is based on.
LOVE the casting, and action, and now with the addition of Cara, the tension and drama brought into the storyline. Having 2 gorgeous, strong warrior women watching your back, sounds like Hercules and Xena combined, only more serious and dramatic rather than campy as they eventually favored.

I really enjoy this show. LotS has maintained the spirit of the novels. Thank you Hulu for carrying the episodes.

I absolutely love this show, and I’m glad they got Regan to do this interview. Her attitude towards doing it is good, and it shows in her performances, and yes, the chemistry between herself and Craig makes it all work. I’m so glad Hulu posts the episodes (although I wish they’d post them faster).

What a great interview withBridget. The series so far has been fantastic. I have only read two
books after I had seen all of the episodes in Season 1. Craig and Bridget for me are Richard and Kahlan. They both are excellent in their roles. Craig has pulled off RIchard being the woodsguide -haven’t a clue-you-say-I’m-who? to being Richard – in-charge–but he now wrestles with the significance of being a Rahl…how to use it…I defnitely think the books and the series are related, but for the sake of the genre, time slot, etc. they have to bring the essence and not so explicit. Looking forward to more seasons…a great chemistry on and off camera comes across with these two actors…kudos for being so genuine…How about an interview this year with Craig Horner? or the two of them?? Looking forward to the rest of Season 2 and please tell me there will be a Season 3!! :)

I have to agree with Matt. I fell in love with the books and was hoping the same for the show. I try to enjoy the show as it is but when it changes facts like who is living and dead , the characters heritage or events that define the characters, it becomes very frustrating.

On another note I will give credit to the actors on staying true to their characters. They do a very good job.

I too agree with Josh & Nicolette. Since I haven’t read the books, and even if I had, it gives me another outlook to explore. When I really like something and they cancel it after 2-3 years, if there is a series of books, it won’t be like watching the show all over again. Variations are GOOD. The actors are wonderful and play the parts so well. Action scenes are especially great. Love the high-drama dialog. Love Bridget, Craig, – all the main characters. Thanks Hulu!

I have to say I agree with Nicolette, it is wonderful to see a “parallel” to the books on T.V. rather than to have the show try and portray the books verbatim onto the screen. I enjoy the drama/action/suspense that unfolds in each episode. Extra enjoyment was also found in the fact that Charisma Carpenter guess starred in the first episode (I am a die hard Buffy/Angel fan). Thank you so much LotS and Hulu for supporting fantasy as there seems to not be enough, and on a special note, thanks for providing the shows with prompt captioning/subtitles so I can enjoy the shows online and not have to special order due to my deafness.

Keep up the good, hard work! We truly appreciate it all!

Nicolette — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:55:42 +0000

What is great about the show is that it isn’t a replica of the books, its interesting to see a parallel world to what we have all read in the books. On that note, they do portray the characters as I imagined they would be and Bridget is simply phenomenal in her portrayal of Kahlan, season one, episode one I thought to myself, “yep, that is Kahlan”. Thanks so much Hulu for supporting LoTS!!

Woohoo! Bridget is so awesome! Legend of the Seeker is awesome! and Hulu is awesome for supporting LoTS =D

@Kirby Armstrong: Have you even read the books? The only thing that is the same between the books and the show is the characters names, the fact that Richard is the Seeker, Kahlan is Mother Confessor, and Zedd is the first Wizard.

I’m actually quite disappointed with just how far they have strayed from the story line. But that aside I’d still have to say that Kahlan is my favorite character and Bridget does an excellent job of portraying her accurately!

This is the most fantastic show ever.I think Craig and Bridget meant for each other.

I’m glad to read Bridget Regan’s interview and get to know the actor behind Kahlan’s character a bit better.

I actually really enjoyed how season 1 ended. There was a satisfying sense of finality, but the writing is so good they are able to open up a whole new avenue of challenges and quests for our trio of adventurers for season 2. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

My gf loves Kahlan’s character because of how strong she is, and I agree with her. Unfortunately, not enough characters like these in Hollywood these days. Thanks for the interview, Hulu.

Kirby Armstrong — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:53:27 +0000

Wow, thank you so much for bring Kahlan to life for me. I loved the books and didn’t realize how much when I saw it brought to life the way this show does. Kudos to the “writers”, as you pointed out you did much of this simply by reading the books, but regardless, I am pleased as a fan at how the show is sticking to the plot so well and not holding back on some of the darker aspects of the books. Some scenes from the book could of course never be on TV without PPV but you still bring out the intensity of the action enough to convey the seriousness of the books along with the celebration of life, love and what it truly means to be both a leader and have a good heart.

I just hope the show can keep up to the challenge of continuing that standard even into the sequels where Richard is taken captive by the Order and has to live in the south as a servant to, Lilith?, and carves the statue.

Kahlan is a terrific character and Bridget plays her superbly. It’s great to see such a strong female character.
