Seeker fans rally to save their favorite television show

So you've been sleeping under a rock and you just woke up to the news that Legend of the Seeker has just been cancelled. Technically, as the show's hardcore fans are quick to point out, "NOTHING OFFICIAL HAS BEEN SAID YET".

Following that thunderous chorus, fans of the television show are plotting a strategy to convince ABC/Disney to save the show. Among many ideas put forward already, they have launched a petition to Save Our Seeker which (as of this writing) has already collected over 5000 signatures.

Not bad.

SF-Fandom will help as much as I can throw my weight into the battle (I cannot speak for the rest of the team at SF-Fandom -- they are free to follow their hearts in this matter). You can see that I am spreading the word about Save Our Seeker wherever I can (and you have NO IDEA what I can do).

I especially like this banner that one of the fans dreamed up:



I don't know where this is going, but I'll follow the road until I reach the journey's end.

Good luck to us all. :)

I'll post updates to SF-Fandom's Legend of the Seeker online promotion discussion.

New James Cameron interview about "Avatar"

Well, while Legend of the Seeker fans scrape themselves off the floor over the rumor that the show has been cancelled, we can still rejoice in the enthusiastic support for James Cameron's "Avatar". Here is an interview that was just posted to YouTube.

Cool new Legend of the Seeker widget

I don't know how long this widget will work. Hopefully a good long time. SLAM 360/Sander Moses has asked us to pick up a widget that promotes Legend of the Seeker.

Always glad to help out a good television show. We've embedded the widget on our LOTS fan site and on the Xenite Legend of the Seeker Forum home page.

And if your browser supports Flash, you can check out the widget here, too.

Warner Brothers announces LoTR Blu-Ray sweepstakes

A Warner Brothers representative dropped by the SF-Fandom forums to announce a Lord of the Rings sweepstakes announcement tied to their upcoming Blu-Ray release for Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" movies.

I mentioned this news in Episode 21 of Middle-earth Talk Radio, which we recorded last night. You can almost here me describe it (sorry about the audio quality -- that will be fixed in an updated version).

The chess set is designed "by The Noble Collection with an ancient map of Middle-earth mounted beneath the playing surface and a base with actual images of the memorable characters and scenes from the thrilling motion picture trilogy."

By the way -- when I said (on the talk show) that no one cared about TORN's birthday, I was only swept up in the passion of the competitive moment. Of course it's great that they've been going strong for 11 years. I check their site often and they are a great bunch of people.

Normally our off-the-cuff remarks are reviewed and edited before the Middle-earth Talk Radio episodes are released for download. I just wanted Hawke to get a scoop up on the Web this time.

So, congratulations to TheOneRing.net on their 11th birthday!

Episodes 20 and 21 of Middle-earth Talk Radio

For reasons I cannot explain, after Hawke uploaded Episode 20 it didn't quite fit into the new site for Middle-earth Radio. The old site is "dying" and Hawke is moving everything over to a NEW Middle-earth radio site (which, for the time being, can be reached by http://new.middleearthradio.com/.

When the link starts working, you should be able to download Episode 20 from this page (I get only partial content right now).

I was able, however, to download Episode 21 of Middle-earth Talk Radio.

Episode 21 actually carries some late-breaking news. You can almost hear me say it. I asked Hawke to upload the raw, unedited file because I thought it would be cool to get the news out. He normally adjusts the volume on my channel so when he gets around to editing the file he'll fix this.

About 22 minutes into the discussion Hawke asked me to check my microphone setting and he said things improved after that.

Normally you don't get to hear all the banter but I hope that doesn't detract from the show.

So, I hope you can download both shows and enjoy them.
