Ah, the season finale. At least we know the show will be back for a second season. And it didn’t end in a cliffhanger. (I hate those!) But, for what should have been the penultimate episode, I thought it fell a tad short. But let’s discuss…
Kahlan has misgivings about confessing Richard, as we knew she [...]
Richard Cypher's sister Jennsen and Darken Rahl
In “Fever,” Richard’s “Pristinely Ungifted” sister Jennsen returns. With the news that Darken Rahl’s men are searching for her, Jennsen goes on the run with the two boxes of Orden that were entrusted to her. As the men close in on her, she throws the boxes into a lake. [...]
This episode didn’t do a lot for me (probably the reason it’s taken me so long to write a review), despite the discovery of another Book of Counted Shadows and an enchanted painting. And the presence of Darken Rahl. Some of the problem might have been that this week’s protagonist, Livia the Librarian, looked more [...]
Let’s start with a quiz: What is more relentless than the D’Haran army?
A hive of bees. At least Richard and Kahlan are faster than them.
Richard, Kahlan and Zedd travel Cadac, a kingdom on the D’Haran border. King Gregor has successfully driven the D’Harans out of his kingdom, but a beast called the Calthrop has [...]
I was pretty ambivalent when I first watched “Mirror.” So much so, I wasn’t sure I was going to watch it again. But I’m glad I did. I was able to put aside my expectations and enjoy it for what it was, a humorous romp that gave the three stars a chance to show us [...]
Uh-oh. Evil Darken Rahl (Craig Parker) has captured our hero, Richard Cypher, the Seeker (Craig Horner).
I almost didn’t get to catch this episode. The local channel broadcast the Virginia high school basketball championships all weekend. Thank goodness for WGN! I would not have wanted to wait another week to catch this awesome episode.
Richard, Kahlan [...]
Jay Laga'aia as Dell Brandstone, otherwise known as Chase (I do not know why)
Chase is in the Midlands! Being Chased! (Haha.) And eventually meets up with Richard & Kahlan. Apparently the D’Haran’s were able to build a (magical) gateway between the Midlands and Westland before the breech in the boundary (from “Destiny”) closed. Chase battled [...]
Y’all know I have this thing for titles, right? I had to look up “Revenant” in my dictionary. It wasn’t there. So I checked Merriam-Webster online. It means the return of someone who’s been dead, or gone a long time. Obviously, I’m gonna have to get a new dictionary.
This episode was highly [...]
After two weeks of repeats, we get a new episode that consists of… repeats. This episode is full of flashbacks. There’s a couple of my favorite scenes from “Listener”; as well as “Prophecy,” Destiny,” “Identity,” “Denna,” and “Puppeteer.” (There maybe others, too. I just lost count.) At one point I was tempted to fast-forward through [...]

Legend of the Seeker: Bloodline
I was initially a little underwhelmed by “Bloodline.” Perhaps I’ve become spoiled from the last 4 episodes. Even though “Home” was basically a clip show, Kahlan actually told Richard she loves him. (Ok, he was comatose at the time, but it still counts!) In “Revenant” we got to see some of the sexual chemistry combust. [...]
