I just saw this in my guide when I was browsing through what to watch. I recalled it was discussed here. I created a season pass on my TiVO to catch it.
I checked and saw that I could watch it on Hulu.com. So, I watched the first episode. I did actually like it. Compared to much of the crap on TV these days. It didn't exactly follow the book but it was certainly pretty close to it.
The actress that plays Khalan is certainly a beautiful girl but I still think Khalan's hair is too short.
They also pronounced (or pronuciated as Joe the plumber would say) things a bit differently than I did in my head. For example on the show they say "Kay Lynn" and I always read it as "Kay Lawn" since it's not spelled Khalin. Also, she said Ayindril with a difference empashis than I originally did. Oh well.
My one suggestion at this point would be to move production to HD... that people and settings would certainly support it.
I does make me want to go back and re-read Wizard's First Rule. Re-reading is something I don't often, if ever, do. But, I read this book so long ago that I forgot alot of the details.
