On top of being a good show, it has gotten me to read the Sword of Truth series, which is Harry Potter-like in addictiveness. I think that while both the show and the books have different major plots, they both do a good job with what they have!

I found LOTS however, quite dull.

You make some really good points - MotW has zero appeal and it really does have the same feel as Xena and Hercules. Interesting side note - you refer to the series at times as <em>Legend</em>, which makes sense, but it made me think of 'the real' <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/" rel="nofollow">Legend</a> from 1985. The writer is a friend of mine and at first I thought you were drawing comparisons there as well. Though not likely intended, they would have been accurate...though I think the 1985 version is officially 'cult classic' status at this point. Tom Cruise at 23 with Ridley Scott at the helm...
