Nom!

Oops...

No, I thought Kevin challenged Foul to speak the RoD (seeking to destroy him along with everything else) and Foul accepted knowing the true outcome ahead of time? Don't have my books here at work, but that's the way I remember it.

Yes, that is indeed a Foul pun...

He certainly has the gaunt look down

There used to be a MUD based on the Land. I never played it, but I've heard several people talk about it.

There was also (I think) someone making a conversion for Neverwinter Nights that was based on the 1st Chronicles. Not sure what ever became of that, though.

Well, after reading Runes, we obviously need the Tinker Toy "My Little Revelstone" Construction set :) A Thomas Covenant plush doll probably wouldn't go over well. You pick it up and it says "Don't Touch Me!" You squeeze it and it says "Hellfire". Squeeze it again and i...

It's a neat effect and I can see how it could be used for dramatic effect at points in certain movies, but I'm not sure I could watch a full movie shot that way. It's a bit distracting or something.

Warmark Jay wrote:I got it! After watching last night's "Lost" ep, I'm convinced that the guy who plays Sawyer, Josh Holloway, would be the perfect TC. He's got the angry grimace down pat.

And he's gaunt enough to pull it off as well. I can just see him shouting "Hellfire!"

Ok, who's playing with the Arch of Time today?

One way they could do the rape scene is by having a Raver possess him or something... Because on screen, that scene just isn't possible to do with alienating a lot of people from the film... so if they make it seem that Thomas didn't do it... I don't know... *shrug* Doing the rape scene that way wo...

There was a passage in LFB I think that described the summoning like this I think: Foul taught Drool Rockworm how to use the staff to summon TC to the land, but he never used the staff directly himself as it was not made for his hand (and we see later what it did to Drool to be wielding it) As for t...

TC told Linden not to trust him? I must have missed that...

That being said, I don't think it's the real TC either, but I have no idea who it could be. On the other hand, this is the final chronicles of Thomas Covenant, so I'm guessing he'll turn up at some point

And I disagree with this almost as strongly as the TC-as-Berek theory, for the same reason :P Roger is described as quite strongly resembling TC; wouldn't Covenant Senior have noticed Berek's ghost looked a hell of a lot like him? I think he would. Did Covenant have much contact with Roger over the...

There is also the fact that:

Spoiler

Jeremiah is clapping and encouraging the horses as they are riding. He's not in his near catatonic state

Or maybe I'm reading more into it than was intended?

Raiders of the Lost Ark - Ra Reference:

"Exactly what *is* a 'Headpiece to the Staff of Ra'?"

Could it be that it was the ur-viles version of their 'dead' looking down at their success in vindication? the few surviving ur-viles That implies to me that they are not dead. I think it's an author oversight. Earlier in the book it was implied that the Sunbane-warped ur-viles were all that were l...

The sad thing is, HLT is probably right. Unless the people producing the movie are steadfast in their convictions to bring the book to life *their* way (they are big fans of the series I hear), and have the money to back it themselves, it'll turn out like that. Anyone see the Kevin Bacon movie "...

I'm only halfway through Runes, but I just re-read the first 6 books as well. Unless it's in the last half of Runes, I don't remember seeing that any place.

I noticed the 'Oh my Gods' too, plus I noticed that Linden has more of a potty mouth than TC did
