In response to TC not being a hero, I have a thought. Covenant may not be a hero in the general sense of the word, however, couldn't his sheer stubborness be a kind of heroism? True, he does everything wrong. Yes, he is selfish. Granted, he says the wrong things. Covenant is the ultimate ass! But he...

Bannor - I think I may have mentioned this above, but from what I gather, before the Ritual of Desecration, the people of the Land spoke a whole other language. I had forgotten but in LFB, all the people of the Land speak of the time before the Desecration and the present time. Much was lost i.e., m...

I agree with "Nom" also. I held my breath when that happened! Fabulous! Either that scene or Lord Mhorhams Victory.

I love the idea of Patrick Stewart as Kevin! That would be a good spot for him.

Just came from seein Reign of Fire. The good guy (who played Quinn) is an actor named Christian Bale. He is the best idea for TC yet!
Those of you who have not seen this movie, go check it out. This guy is perfect for Covenant!

I just finished reading Kushiel' Dart by Jacqueline Carey. Good book!

Isn't that Matthew McConaughey? He would be great as TC! Also, I agree with the TNG anaylsis! I would hate to see these stories ruined with second-rate actors!

In LFB, Tamarantha Variol-mate explains to TC: For the very Law of Time, the principle of power which made the arch possible, worked to preserve Lord Foul, as we call him now. From re-reading LFB, I have come to gather that before the Ritual of Desecration, not only was the lore of the Land stronger...

I agree with you, Torhm.

Who's Sean Bean?

TC is very self-absorbed but that is his leper training - his survival training! Like all of us, he enjoys the Land in the beginning (even though he fights it) but it takes him a book or two to truly fall in love with the Land.

LF would definitely have to be a good actor since we never really see him. How about Geoffrey Rush? Guy Pearce was in Memento , and more recently The Time Machine . He was also in LA Confidential . He is quite good. I agree about Patrick Stewart as Mhorham. He is a competent actor but too old for Mh...

Here I am, Danlo! Sorry - I didn't catch onto the hint to go to this other forum! I am a natural blonde and every once in a while it kicks in! :D "Penance" was a great story! I liked the different twist on vampires. I'm on the last story right now "By Any Other Name" but I got si...

Gibson seems too old to play TC. Crowe is too heavy. Guy Pearce would be perfect. He is a good enough actor to play him and has the thin look to him (even gaunt). Someone suggested Chow Yun Phat (Fat?) to play Bannor. I thought that was a pretty good suggestion. Crowe could play Bannor. Patrick Stew...

I have been re-reading LFB, and the first few chapters are very enlightening. I have a few questions some of you might find interesting. 1. TC burns his second book that he is working on when he finds out he has leporsy then burns his copy of his best seller because he finds them both to be full of ...

Can't the UNHOMED summon the jheherrin? After all, Foamfollower was The Pure One. I don't know if the muddy ones will do much good but it is a suggestion.

Oh no! The temptation to start a Monty Python thread is almost too great! However, Bannor, thank you for putting so succinctly what I could not.

Danol - the little research? Jeez! You did quite a job for just a little research! You were starting to sound like a pharmacist!

Well done, Bannor.

I think that if I were Berek lost in this world, I would kill myself! The Land is certainly a better place! Anyway, lets not forget that what the people of the Land used instead of technology was magic. I think that we can all agree that the ring, in and of itself, are nothing. It is the white gold ...
