Hee, I'm thinking of Cylons now, with your talk of three different versions of Kahlan! Too bad we couldn't keep one or two copies around, I always love it when we have people interacting with their alternate selves! But not if it means the original character is out of whack in some way, like lacking a criticial part of their personality.

[Tangent: llike when B'Elanna Torres was split into her human and Klingon selves, that was laaaame- god, the human was so whiny and pitiful, like there are no humans that are brave and resourceful, ugh!]

I hear you on Richard- I do appreciate the way he's growing up and growing into his leadership role. It just annoys me that he's so ill-equipped and inept at times, I know it makes sense considering that he wasn't trained for the role of Seeker- times like that, I wish that it was as Kahlan had expected in the pilot, that Zedd had trained Richard so he wasn't a newbie at everything relevant to his destiny. It's irritating in fantasy when the wise mentor is all 'let the kid have a life, be a normal child, blah blah blah'. If I were that kid, I wouldn't thank them for handicapping me, y'know?

Hee, Cara and EMOTIONAL KAHLAN. Cannot wait to see that! I just love everything to do with the three of them, y'know, I'm in this show not for the ship but the OT3, it's the most amazing EVAH. *nodnod* So happy it's not a love triangle. :D No matter what jealous!Kahlan says.
