US, May 28, 2009 - The first season of Legend of the Seeker, an epic fantasy series based on Terry Goodkind's novels, was good fun, tailor made for weekend television viewing. Those who tuned in were introduced to a handsome hero, a beautiful heroine, a dastardly villain and lots of sword fighting action.

The first few episodes were burdened with too much exposition, but that is an unavoidable problem when introducing a new fantasy series to an audience who may not be familiar with the books on which the story is based. Once the main objective was firmly established -- that "Seeker" Richard Cypher was on a mission to kill the evil ruler Darken Rahl -- then the show was free to give us more action and keep things moving. The real turning point in the season was the eighth episode, "Denna." That episode both introduced the Mord'Sith as recurring antagonists, and also was the first deeply emotional episode. Building from that hour, the show upped the stakes for its characters and became much more involving.

The greatest assets of the show are the two leads, Craig Horner and Bridget Regan. Horner's Richard Cypher is a classic hero; he is earnest, brave, and selfless. He is not burdened with doubt or indecision, setting him apart from the flawed heroes that are more prevalent in today's pop culture. Likable from the start, Horner's acting improved steadily throughout the season as he grew more comfortable in the role. Bridget Regan as Kahlan Amnell is the standout of the cast. Kahlan is both strong and vulnerable; from the very start she made the audience care about her character and what needed to be done to stop Darken Rahl.

You want it, you got it! We've read your emails asking for more scoop on the syndicated fantasy series Legend of the Seeker so we checked in with Aussie star Craig Horner to find out what's to come in the final episodes of the first season. In addition to dish on the final battle with Darken Rahl and the majestic ultimate moment of season one, find out what shocking thing Kahlan's going to do to demonstrate her love for the Seeker...

You may have noticed the site's gone a little skewy. With the recent hack attack on ausxip, most of the news items have disappeared never to be seen again. I will be trying to rebuild it. In the meantime I received some promo pics for the new episode coming up called Sanctuary.
