Should I watch this?

[caerbannog]

Watch it for me so I can decide if I should watch it...

[kallanda_lee]

Eh, it depends.

It's fantasy made by MTV and that is exactly what it looks like, if that makes sense.

[caerbannog]

*confused face*

[kallanda_lee]

It feels very much like a tv version of a YA novel, and often it has form over substance. The characters and the world look very "polished" while you'd expect them to be more gritty (given it's basically a post-apocalyptic world).

Wondering myself. But it's based off Sword of Shannara, right? Because I remember hating that book. With the BDSM lady, all the women being in love with the protagonist, and the antagonist's evil "banning fire" plot which was a political reference to the evilness of banning guns, right?

[(Anonymous)]

I think you may be thinking of Wizard's First Rule, by a different author? I can't remember the series name or the author... it's the one Legend of the Keeper is based on I think.

Sword of Shannara was an extremely by-the-numbers LOTR ripoff (like, more than most epic fantasy, I don't just mean the world I mean the plot structure and all sorts of stuff). I assume the show is based on some of the other books in the series, which were more original than Sword of Shannara and less offensive than the Wizard's First Rule, but not great enough to have me racing out to catch the series.

[(Anonymous)]

DA. The show is based mostly off Elfstones of Shannara, although they threw in or merge a couple of elements from Sword as well (the Dagda Mor has at least part of Brona's backstory, for example).

[caerbannog]

Aww. Kind of sad it's not based off The Genesis of Shannara. Not that I expected it to, but I enjoyed that series...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh damn you're right, I was thinking of that one! I just remember the protagonist using a fancy sword that I thought was the "Sword of Shannara" but lmao oops. I swear I've read Sword of Shannara but it was probably when I was like twelve, I really can't remember it.

[(Anonymous)]

Sword of Truth. It's an understandable mistake, since the authors have really similar names, and the series are both pretty derivative fantasy.

The Shannara books are a lot less rapetastic and aren't Randian screeds, though - they're more forgettable than awful.

[(Anonymous)]

The show is such a LOTR rip-off that I couldn't watch past about 45 minutes in. It was dull as ROCKS.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, it's easy peasy for me, a total stranger whose tastes you're unfamiliar with, to decide would would appeal to you, a total stranger whose tastes I'm unfamiliar with, so let me see...

[(Anonymous)]

are you telling me this is not the best way to make decisions? Should i go back to coin flipping?

The only reason I would recommend watching it is because of this guy:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0071847/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t4

Who is exceedingly hot and plays a druid warrior type with an outstanding haircut and brands instead of tattoos. Yum. I'd ship him with his protege, the dopey and somewhat useful blond dude in that pic, rather than with the primary female character, who started out strong but then went down an annoyingly jealous, petty, 90210 plotline that made me lose all interest in her character.

[(Anonymous)]

sa

Here are his tatts:

The only reason I mention shipping is because the secret does. I don't watch it for shipping.

I only started watching for Manu Bennett because I kind of loved/hated his character in Spartacus, though I loved watching him in the role, and really like him as Allanon. However... my interest in the show has already waned considerably. Agree that it's got a very MTV vibe,there's much less Allanon than I'd hoped for, and they've already got a stupid love triangle going (I agree with the OP though... OT3 would redeem it for me).

[(Anonymous)]

Manu Bennett's time must not come cheap. Because yeah Allanon hasn't been around as much lately. :(

I'm with you: the jealousy thing is tired. OT3 would be sweet.

You should check out Arrow, he plays Slade Wilson. Mmm.
