"Apologize!"
"I am very disappointed in this mini-series. I truly adored Ursula K. Leguin's trilogy. Although I enjoyed seeing the characters costumes and the landscapes as you only can in a movie, I am deeply upset that the basic plots and race issues were ignored or "
"Please Make it Right Sign This Petition!"
"Shame on you SlyFi"
"Shame"
"What they did to those books should be criminal,and they should never be allowed to do anything like that agian"
"Fix it and give us the real deal this summer!!!!!!!"
"LOTR is weak but that movie...no comment"
"An apology to Ms. Le Guin is in order. Also, an HBO-SciFi channel: Strong competition is just what the Sci-Fi Channel needs; they are complacent and lazy and it shows. The least they can do is apologize. Well, actually, we see the "least they can do": day"
"25 years ago, I learned about my shadow through "A Wizard of Earthsea"; in the Sci-Fi channel miniseries, I learned about the shadows of those who changed Ms. LeGuin's story into something it was never meant to be. The original deserves a more respectful "
"What a WASTE. You had a chance to do something wonderful and different by bringing this classic story to television, and you COMPLETELY blew it. It wasn't even interesting for all the changes you made; it completely sucked even when I tried to disregard t"
"Awful. Just Awful."
"No excuse for something this badly done"
""The Legend of Earthsea" as presented by the sci-fin channel is pure, unmitigated BUTCHERY!"

"Damn right - rewrite those Earthsea bookthings - What does LeGuin know about telling a good story? Oh wait a minute..."
"Definitely!"
"Butchery doesn't come close to covering what was done to Urlsula K. Le Guin's work. Putting words in UKLG's mouth is also uncalled for. How does Rob Lieberman know what Ursula intended when he didn't even deem to contact her? Everyone connected with this "
"A travesty. An absolute horror. An apology for this tripe is not even nearly enough. I will never watch SciFi ever EVER again because of this."
