Botched

There was this TV show that came out which I was really excited about, it was called Legend of the Seeker, and it was suppose to be made after Wirzards First Rule, the first book in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. But the show was syndicated so it was not just a regular cable channel, so it was hard figuring out just what channel locally here it would be on, and what time it was going to be on, so I missed the season premieer of the show, and tried to find when it would replay but could not find it anywhere, so I thought I would just wait and rent it on DVD to watch.

So I was flipping through the channels one day and there was nothing on when I came across one of the Legend of the Seeker episodes, at first I did not want to watch, but then I figured I read the book so I already know what is going to happen so it would not really matter if I watched. And well the totally changed it around. It is nothing like the book was. They added things that were never in the book and completely redid scenes, and removed characters that were in the original story and added characaters that were not in the story. So I was quite annoyed by that.

Then again today I was flipping through the channels and happend upon another episode of it, and was just killing time so figured I might as well watch, and it really annoyed me more so then the first time. Why is it that vilans must always have dark hair, and be regulated to look a certain way? And that no one can break from that tradidtion? Within the book the main evil villan character in his physcial apperance is quite untradidtional. He is not your typical run of the mill bad guy. Within the book he is dipicted very clearly as having blond hair, and there are multiple references to his hair, and he also wares shinning white robes. So in the tv show, what do they do? They give him dark hair, and have him dressed in red. Why?
