Well, that was fun

I think that with Game of Thrones' success, we can expect to see more fantasy TV, at least for a bit. Whether thi particular show is good or not, I think it's a good sign that the industry is commissioning fantasy stuff -- I wonder what else is coming?

well, it might be interesting.
Unless they try to turn it into a mindless sex soap-opera.
We'd have an actual fantasy series based on having a real supernatural monster threat...
Been a long time since that happened.

Shanara had a lot fewer pointless side tracks than LotR, and generally focussed on important characters and what they were up to.
I remember reading the original trilogy (book 3 came out when I was in jr high).

Brooks had some interesting things to say.
People accuse him of having ripped off Tolkien, but while there are a lot of similarities, I enjoyed Brooks a lot more. Less rambling, more action and focus. I also found his characters more relatible.
