SEE THAT ICON!! ;) hahaha. Niiiiiiiice. Trying to win points here?
:P I don't know why I'm sorted into Slytherin in every quiz when my ploys are always lacking in subtlety.
But I was ashamed to realize I only have the one C/K icon and when I saw your journal...*bounces* Couldn't resist!
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.
I LOVE YOU. That perfectly sums up all the issues I have with Richard. He's the one named in the title, so he gets all the glory and Kahlan gets little credit for having to act like his frakking BABYSITTER because his judgment is made of fail. She's more of a hero than he is, yet the show always skews it so that he comes up smelling like roses and I DON'T BUY IT. I wouldn't be so pissed if they didn't make it seem like he's the most wonderful, intelligent, awesome character ever and admitted his flaws, rather than denying and whitewashing everything.
I don't know if you watch Sanctuary, but if he was more of a Will to Kahlan's Magnus, it'd be more endearing seeing him take on her advice and letting her wisdom guide him rather than letting his hot head and bleeding heart do the leading. The writers seem to think it'd emasculate him, though, so we get him perpetually leaping out of the frying pan into the fire and long-suffering Kahlan needing to clean up after him. *huggles her*
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.
I see what you're saying there, but Kahlan came off like her prejudices were getting the better of her. 'Mord'Sith are ALWAYS evil, there is no possibility they might change'. Even though Cara's bloodied up and obviously not happy with her 'sisters', she still doubts Cara would help them take out the other Mord'Sith.
I just hated that she knew Cara helped Richard SAVE THE WORLD and yet she was all 'it doesn't matter what she did, she probably had evil ulterior motives', not so much as a 'you did good', grr. I thought that was willful blindess on her part, rather than a reasoned, logical response. I don't blame her for wanting to kill Cara when she found out about Dennee, but at this point in time, she should've given her the benefit of the doubt, considering she'd already proved herself.
I hated Leo. He was boring, stupid, and completely irrelevant. He was plot filler in the most obvious of ways.
Lol! I hated the romance with Cara, it was soooo painful for me, but I liked that he made her laugh- even if it was OOC. It was just unrealistic that she'd let someone in emotionally as far as she did with him, and the writers cheated by having enormous time lapses so we could mentally fill-in-the-gaps. That's shoddy writing, either put in the effort to make it believable or don't start with it at all.
What I liked about Leo was how respectful he was, that boy was a good listener and knew his place, he deferred to the ladies, what a novelty! THAT is why I ended up liking him. He was adorkable. Too bad he didn't have Richard's SUPER SPESHUL POWERZ with wielding the Sword of Truth- what WAS that about? Did Richard's training or experience or something help him fend off T'Pol?
