AVClub: If tonight’s season finale of The Shannara Chronicles proves anything, it’s that the show works best when it sticks closely to its source material. This has nothing to do with me being an adaptation purist or thinking Terry Brooks is some kind of sacred wordsmith whose text should never be messed with. It’s much simpler than that: The Elfstones Of Shannara knows what it is and the TV series doesn’t. Across 10 episodes, it’s frantically hopped from era-clashing sci-fi to trashy YA romance to high fantasy, only truly figuring out how to navigate that last category. And even then, it’s faltered whenever heaping on a new plot element or character—see Cephelo’s penchant for rape, the false death of several villains, Bandon, Catania, Commander Tilton, the list goes on.
