Repeats again, huh? Well, after 17 episodes, they're probably getting close to the end of their batch of fresh episodes.
A good episode overall. Especially how they made the D'Haran captain actually sympathetic. The scene where Kahlen posed as Richard's wife was fun too.
Though if Darken Rahl has actually ordered his men to fight to their deaths, then my respect for him as a villain just dropped a couple of points. That's just a bad call. (I also checked the Evil Overlord List for a comment on not ordering the the Legions of Terror to fight to their death if they're outmatched, but couldn't find it. It would have been very apropos to this episode.).
