this mini series take everything that be original in the book and replaces it with a cliché . it take everything that be unique in the book and replaces it with something generic . it take everything that be true in the book and replaces it with something false . the woman exist only a extension of the men they be endlessly willing to sacrifice themselves or to perform menial task . they be fool by trick that wouldn not fool a ten year old and praise for complete task that a six year old could complete with ease . and yet and the mini series be most popular with woman under 18 or over 45. i wonder what that tell u . by the way and someone should tell the writer and who seem to specialize in ruin classic fantasy write by woman and that grasp and last do not rhyme . rick norwood sfsite .
