[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 5191310, member: 41321"] Gonna talk about the ending of the series and of one of the books, and gonna put it in a spoiler block, just in case. [sblock]They took part of the ending of the first book and put it in here, which I was sorta pleased with but sorta not pleased with. The theme of the first book seemed to be "love conquers all", including the ending where Kahlan is forced to confess Richard (I forget the specifics of that... I read it over 10 years ago) but it doesn't work because Richard is already madly in love with her and she couldn't possibly make him love her more. I do enjoy that they brought that part back before ending the series so that Richard and Kahlan could have a "happily ever after", but I thought the way it was done here was kinda lame, especially since they seemed to specifically say in a first season episode that this was not possible (the episode where Richard and Kahlan got possessed by the ancient confessor and the seeker she confessed). Plus, the way it was done in the book was a lot cooler, if I'm remembering it correctly. Richard didn't get confessed, but he was smart enough to play the part so he could get close enough to Rahl to kill him, and once that was done he surprised Kahlan with the revelation that he hadn't been confessed after all. But yeah, the stone getting recreated really smelled of deus ex machina. If they had foreshadowed that somehow it would've been less cheesy, but there was absolutely no precedent for it. The last time somebody cried the Stone of Tears into existence it was a frickin' god. Oh, and did anybody else laugh at the image of that little kid crying out in frustration in the Keeper's voice. I just found that hilariously awkward. Casting your big bad guy into the body of a little kid can be done well, but that really wasn't the case here.[/sblock] This show had a lot of potential, but I was really not surprised when it was canceled. The writing left a lot to be desired. [/QUOTE]
