And the author of those books just wrote a rant about how Sci-Fi ruined her books.  Though its mostly a PC rant how the actors weren't the right color.

She has that same spiel posted on her site.
The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

Well the SciFi Channel has issued a response to Le Guin's rantings:

Quote
"We respect Ms. Le Guin's right to voice her opinion and we understand her frustrations. However, adapting two major novels down to four hours of television is highly challenging and requires significant reworking. That being said, we stand by the creative decisions we took in the spirit of her wonderful books and which made our miniseries the top entertainment program on cable over two nights, with over 13 million viewers."
