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.
*hugs you tight* WORD. I can't get over how much I hate it when guys wibble about, 'Oh, it's all my fault they're dead' when it's bloody obvious it's the VILLAIN'S fault, ugh. *headdesk* I love that Kahlan doesn't beat herself up about Leo here. SHE IS SO AWESOME. And there's Cara with a legitimate source of angst, but does she whinge and get all irritating? No.
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.
HMM. Good point. But it was a dream, so it didn't have any RL consequences. And he's probably gonna chalk it up to 'oh, I was hallucinating, I don't need to learn any lessons from this'.
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.
OOH. 'k, there you got me, I didn't even consider that! If we only had an inkling of self-awareness, that he knew his impulsive nature was a problem, I'd be happier, but I don't know if he learned anything in the end or not.
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<
*squishes you* I like the Xena outfit but I do miss the flowing white dress...I guess the writers wanted to make her wardrobe more fighting-effective? Lol. But if she's gonna have long hair and make-up and Cara's wearing high heels, there's really no call for making it 'realistic', pfft. I like her new look but it's very MADE UP and artificial, which would be fine if not for the setting they're in.
PS. Sorry for the massive reply, I just can't edit myself, I have no internal filters, lol.
