I definitely agree, drakensis. Cramming a season's worth of content into a movie is a recipe for disaster.
As for blaming M. Night.... I dunno. I may be displaying my ignorance of how the film industry works, but I would think a director of all people should be able to say, "Hey wait. This is a bad script for so and so reason. Lets see if we can do better." I think a story like the promise comics, which are supposed to happen after the series, would have been a much better adaptation.
I am 100% with you Bob and glad you gave the TV show a shot. I really can't imagine coming from the movie to the TV series. Lack of imagination on my part perhaps. =)
Now off to read the new Eyrie.
