Kevin's Watch

THIS is GODLIKE. You a Donaldson fan? Want to laugh like a crazy person?

I dunno if anyone has posted this yet, but there is a BUNCH of video on this site where they "re-enact" LFB -- Covenant at the Bell Telephone Company (yes, it IS the 70's first time around, remember) paying his bill, meeting 'Man In Ochre Robe' played by 'Man In Ochre Robe', in the Land, etc. skit-style, with two girls in bed 'analyzing' LFB with an actual 'Covenant expert' with them. (this is no lie)

Here's a taste of the girls working out Lord Foul's 'arithmetically complex' plan for spreading Despite: fantasybedtimehour.com/episodes/images/ep19/expert2.jpg

So far as i know, this is the *first* dramatization of anything Covenant. (other than perhaps my 8mm home movie i started in 1978 with some other kids on my block) Bet Russell Crowse is kicking himself now!!!

And by the Seven, keep Donaldson from seeing this site!! He may be so horrified he writes no more Covenant, and we'll be left twiddling our collective plastic white gold rings, fake halfhands and Lord Foul (tm) Action Figures (Sunbane and Illearth Stone sold separately) with no more to read after 'Runes' is released!!!!

I am apalled...but strangley turned on.

God help me.

I watched the whole thing and laughed so hard I almost died. Those two girls are totally nutty yet loveable. The Thomas Covenant video piece is pretty hilarious, too.

Lord Foul's Equation to Eradicate Hope...6 x 7 years = 43?

Expert Jason Scott: "Thanks ladies. I actually brought you some graveling." (reveals bag of candies)
Julie: "Do you mean graveling or the Gravelingas?"
Jason: "No...well, if you want to call it Gravelingas, go ahead."

Julie: "O my god, what if the Council finds the Illearth Stone? Then will Lord Foul have 7 years until they eradicate all his hope from the earth?"

Julie:"Is this the Stone that binds them all?"
Jason: "No. I don't even want to get into that."

Heatherly: "All right, so why doesn't Lord Foul, if he's all powerful and stuff, just walk right up to Lord Drool and be like, 'That's mine, thank you very much' and take the Staff back?"
Jason: "Well, I don't think Lord Foul actually has a corporeal body."
Julie: "A what?"
Jason: "Corporeal."
Julie: "Corporate body? What?"
Jason: "Yes. That's fine. But he doesn't have one. I don't think he has a physical body with which to pluck--"
Julie: "No, no, in Episode 3 did you see him? He looked like Skeletor."
Jason (becoming slightly exasperated): "...when he appeared first, on page 36, he was only those two little red slits of his eyes. That's all he was to Thomas Covenant."
Julie: "So they're all afraid of, like, a non-corporate slitty thing?"
Jason (nods in resignation): "Yes. Absolutely. That's absolutely correct."

Heatherly: "That was the best Gravelingas ever!"
Julie: "Yeah, thanks for the Gravelingas, Jason!"
Heatherly: "They're really good!"

Actor as Covenant in video: "I fell and fell...and then I saw this creature...a man...a strapping man...incredibly fit for a caveboy...and then this strange man...huge but not scary...sweet like a lamb dressed like a dragon eating turos...and he prattles on for hours about names of names, begat this and John became who and went where...and then I remember falling...through the sky onto this...slab of stone...and then as I lay there, this hot teenage girl comes up to me...mmmm..."



Thanks for this, markjeffrey. Who needs Wayne's World?

Heatherly: I think he has a disease or something .. I think it's called 'VSE'

In episode 1, they have Thomas Covenant "walking mechanically" to "Rock It!" (the old breakdance tune) music video style.

I have to re-iterate how funny this is for any fan of the Land and urge you to run, not walk, to this site. I am still laughing so hard I can barely type!!
