I seem to have a different opinion about the morality of taking peoples free will. So acording to you she made a bad choice that resulted in evil. That says evil to me. While I still think that takings someones free will is inherently evil, Kahlen seems to only do it when the person is irredemamably evil to begin with (debateable maybe), but the village confesser took out an entire village. Kahlen had some issues with that, but not enough. If she wern't a confesser that could have been an entire episode to stop the magic-user who had enslaved an entire village. As for the leeser of two evils Kahlen and Zed while having quams went ahead and were willing to sacrifice all those slave to rescue the seeker. My understanding of the seeker would be that he would have dissagreed with that. The show took the easy way out in the end and didn't force them to deal with that problem by having the "real" enemy kill her. Yes, in the real world there are shades of grey, but this to me falls squarely in the evil category. This is a show about fantasy good and evil, and I expect black and white hats. The entire premise of the show is about a pure white hat trying to free the world. If I was interested in shades of grey, there are far better written shows out there that cover that.By very bad decisions you mean confessing a wizard of the first order and willingness to kill the seeker so that she could kill the baby at that instant. If the mother confesser can betray the seeker and turn evil, what hope is there really for the order of confessers. Confessers have major power and seem easily seduced by it. So far Kahlen seems the only one who looks at the true morality of it. The other sisters were more than willing to go along with the mother confesser until Kahlen taked them out of it. Then as I said, either the seeker is very wrong by letting the baby grow up and the mother confesser was justified in doing what she did, or The confessers are too easily seduced by thier own power and are very dangerous in thier own right.And there seem to be plenty of oportunities where the show has confessers abusing thier powers. Even Kahlen in the magic potion episode abused her power. This episode just demonstrated how dangeous the confessers can be, both power wise and in making thier own decisions. Taking someones free will is tantamount to killing them (to me) and should only be done as an absolute last resort. I hope the show uses this as an oportunity to further limit Kahlen because right now the seeker is playing with fire.</blockquote>
