I SEE THAT ICON!! ;) hahaha. Niiiiiiiice. Trying to win points here?
He doesn't make me as capslocky as he did in the first season [I wanted to throttle that ungrateful jerk- Kahlan kept trying to help him and he kept disregarding her advice and running headlong into danger and making her work overtime to save his ass
Agreed. He's a little bit better this season, but still annoying in his perfect ways. "Bounty" pretty much sums up that whole issue. Richard doesn't listen to Kahlan, gets them both in trouble, Kahlan gets herself out of it, then goes to save his ass. But then at the end of the episode it's all "Richard was right!" Urgh.
Kahlan's refusing a tactical advantage based on feelings
I see what you're saying there, but Kahlan's reasoning wasn't based on feelings (maybe a little!) but it was logic at the heart of it. Mord'Sith are evil. Case in point. It was much more likely that Cara would betray them in a second rather than have her help them. She didn't have the chance to see what Richard did in the future so therefore his decision was based more on emotion rather than logic than hers.
I liked LEO more than him, which says something, considering how much I hated the idea of him!
I hated Leo. He was boring, stupid, and completely irrelevant. He was plot filler in the most obvious of ways. I like Richard (especially with Kahlan *squee!*), but when he goes into that goodboyshtick where he doesn't want anyone to ever get hurt - he really bugs the ever living shit out of me. Enough already. We get it. He's the good guy!
He'd jeopardize all these lives for one person and think himself justified to make that call
I actually thought it was great that they showed a negative consequence to Richard's actions for once. That the ever constant goodboy morality finally didn't turn out okay in the end. And it was also great to show that it's one of Richard's biggest fears, that for all his rushing headfirst into things, it's gonna backfire one day and he'll destroy everyone.
Bridget Regan is gorgeous no matter what, but I'm actually kind of nostalgic now when I watch season 1. I miss the more natural look, the curls, the white dress... *whine* It's not that she's not hot now, it's just...GAH! >IZCONFLICTED<
