Curiousity~
Curiosity killed the cat.
Satisfaction brought it back!
To be fair, they did at least set up for the creation of the new Stone of Tears. Still feels lame, but at least they tried.
The finale was very "meh," like much of the show. (SPOILER)They finally did the big "Richard's love protects him from Kahlan's power," and somehow managed to make it even cheesier than in the books. Also, Kahlan's tears creating a new Stone of Tears was so random and deus ex machina that it was completely unforgivable. A half-assed marginal set up does not negate its utter lameness.
I was disappointed with the lack of development for Nicci. She had the makings of an interesting character, and then: nope, wait, she's still just plain evil. Oh well.
I can't argue with any of that. xP
On a side note, I'm on book... eight, I think, Naked Empire. I'm almost 200 pages in and it is pretty endlessly boring. Nothing has happened. Goodkind spent two pages describing Kahlan using her power and I'm like "DUDE IT'S BEEN EIGHT BOOKS I smurfING GET IT BY NOW THUNDER WITHOUT SOUND GET ON WITH IT."
I don't want to read the later books.
Naked Empire is the beginning of the end. It's terrible. It's also the start of Goodkind replacing dialogue with a bunch of multi-page speeches which people (mostly Richard, Kahlan, or (SPOILER)Nicci) give with the slightest prompting.Originally Posted by ShlupQuack
Oh, I saw Khalin and Richard cosplayers this weekend, they were cool.
I know, random but I thought I should add it.
Were they ugly?
Nope! Since it was an anime con, most people did not know who they were. Or if they did they only knew Khalin since they watched the show and didn't recognize Richard in his war wizard get-up! They were a cute couple!
Did you do the decent thing and take pictures?
Yes, they're on Facebook!
Good boy. <3
