A friend and I were discussing this and I stated, as I watched the pilot, that by the end I would be dissapointed as there probably isn't anything else currently in the works. He made a a statement that I hope rings true. He said to me that if the Shannara television series does well that FX/FXX might actually order a real pilot.  Here's to hoping ill will 'n such over this can be put aside and a full on  well adapted and produced television series can be made. Not just for us current fans but the new ones it would undoubtedly bring along with it.
