I watched the show having never read a single Earthsea book. My sister and mom kept pointing out how there were gaping differences. My sister and I also focused on the poor production quality-- e.g. a troop of soldiers running into a small cloud of thick fog and instantly losing their way, despite the fact that they were on a straight bridge no more than thirty feet from the people they were trying to attack.
The one cool thing, though, was the Nameless One that gets released and takes on the form of Skiortch the sailor and he looks really awesome. And the thing where What's-His-Face the Chubby pours sugar on the table in these little clumps and then they become little mini islands in this little tiny sea. That was cool.
All-in-all, major suckiness.
