It's hard not to be impressed by Rob Tapert. Along with his creative partners Sam Raimi and Joshua Donen, the man is responsible for some of the best, and most influential fantasy television of all time: first, Xena: Warrior Princess, which starred his wife Lucy Lawless, and now Legend of the Seeker, a surprisingly watchable adaptation of the Terry Goodkind�€™s The Sword of Truth novels. Recently, I chatted with Rob via phone from New Zealand, and he soon made it clear what a perfectionist he is, which is an obvious source of frustration in the blindingly fast production pace of series television. As of this posting, Legend of the Seeker has still not officially been picked up for a second season (although things look very good), but that hasn't stopped Tapert from micro-analyzing everything about the first season and gearing up for an even better second one.

Very interesting that Rob mentions The Rheingold Trilogy not doing well in reruns, and why that might have been - that some people simply don't like watching episodes/movies set in snowy or cold environments. I remember they said the same thing for 30 Days Of Night, but I have a feeling that it depends on who and where you're asking. I don't think many of us people up here in the colder and darker parts of the world have problems with episodes/movies set in such a climate - in fact you might say we're kinda pleased that we can recognize elements from our daily lives Michael *Check out my fanfic @ The Athenaeum*
