The Legend Of The Seeker Television Show Ruins Terry Goodkind's Sword Of Truth Series.
Nothing is correct to the story. Zedd isn't his grandfather, Kahlan's power is done wrong (she can't blow people away with it), Zedd overuses magic and for the wrong reasons, and reasons that couldn't happen anyway (choking people? Really?) It is a disgrace an amazing book series

The show didn't ruin the book series. The book series was great. I loved it but to be honest terry goodkind ruined the serieshimself when he continued after book 6. The show is not only for the fans of the novels but also for those looking to watch something on a Saturday nite. The show needs to appeal to more ppl than those who read the books. They need to make each episode interesting and follow some seperate story line that could be solved by the end of the hour but also follow a larger story line to keep veiwers interested.
Besides, terry goodkind wrote a fantasy novel and a television show doesn't have the kind of money to keep right with the story line of the book. When writing a book the author can do anything he wants with the story, there's no limit on his imagination. When putting it on television there is only so much you can do. Not to mention the show is being done with Disney so many of the more violent scenes cant be shown.
Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean the show was ruined. I have seen many movies that were based on books i've never read, and found them fantastic, but ask anyone that read the book and they will tell you they were disappointed with the movie.
You dont like it but many others may, it made it onto tv, terry goodkind was involved and he's apparently ok with the way it turned out, go to his website and read his entry about the show.
If you don't like it no one is forcing you to watch.
