This is LotS - of what?!?

LotS = Legend of the Seeker...
Seekers? Of what, exactly...?
Of adventure, mindless (even if choreographed) violence, needless bloodbaths, member-severing, head-chopping, battle experience... and lustful endeavours?
Whatever!

The time was deemed ripe for another TV series, through syndication only but still, cashing in on the fanbase that cannot live without some medieval mindless fun, complete with all the gothic, GORE and "babelicious" factor that cable TV can allow! For there is nothing quite as hot as the babe that can kick your a$$ too...?

The nerdy fanbase that worships all things referencing Dungeons & Dragons and Lord of the Rings (that"s way too long for the aficionados: it's affectionately just D&D and LOTR for them!) also adores tough babe archetypes - and this one has all the elements to appease them, henceforth!

Now watch this fine series of highlights if you doubt it whatsoever (they are actually missing vital components, there, in order to truly be deemed as "highlights", in truth, but it shall do for now nonetheless) - highlights and lowlights, hence, enhanced by a great song prickled from the repertoire of virtual unknowns (M83's "Kim and Jessie" - do *you* know them? See what I mean...) and *you* tell me what they are all seeking in there...



Now, of course, LOTR begat LOTS here - (wow, it makes for a better acronym: the only aspect in which Goodkind bested Tolkien!) but the truth is that this series, based upon author Terry Goodkind's The Sword Of Truth saga, were only picked up by some production company for its potential for all of the reasons listed above - and most specifically the one explicited below!

Anyone could hazard a guess, really, as to what the producers, creators and writers of this series truly sought to accomplish with this and whether it was indeed first foremost to deliver on all fronts which the old XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS and her Gabrielle merely hinted at but also (purposefully) failed to deliver (and merely hinted at, teased relentlessly about, ANNOYED THE HECK OUT OF WITH...!) on that old show no one can ever forget - alas.

And here is the evidence of THAT:

 

To make an entire new series, then, in order to overindulge in this sort of thing...?

Pathetic.


UPDATE:
The show was cancelled as of 2010, after just two seasons on the air, because the Tribune Company that produced and distributed the series went into bankruptcy. The studio was unable to find another network to pick up the show before the cast and crew had to be released from their contracts. As of December 2011, fans of the show still continued their campaign to renew the series for a third season.
