Quote:I wouldn't count this one as a favorite just yet, but I watched The Shannara Chronicles on [deep breath] MTV [exhale] last night. While it's definitely geared more towards the current MTV crowd, it does stick close to Terry Brooks' concept very well. It's nice to see those characters that I grew up reading about and imagining come to life. I'll be keeping track of this show at least throughout the first season.

 

That's a positive then...I was terrified they'd completely ruin it when I first heard about it. Keeping in mind that I never actually read any Terry Brooks (wasn't my style of fantasy) but it was still something I was keeping my eye on.

 

Upcoming show to keep your eyes on: Lucifer on FOX. I watched the pilot a few weeks ago and really dug what they're going for. You have to be a major comic nerd (which I am) and be aware of the DCU's interpretation of Lucifer (from Constantine and Sandman, most notably) to completely get it. But after NBC dropped the ball on Constantine, I'm still stoked for where this show will hopefully go.
