Confession and the intense version of the Rahl bond that the Mord'Sith get are mutually exclusive. They can serve only one master. Ooh, filing this away for future reference.

Gollum lizard men. No, I don't know why this seemed like a good exchange. LOL, scifi/fantasy always has this thing somewhere and the heroes and audience are WHY? And there's no answer except that it seemed like a good idea at the time. (see also The Mummy; the curse means no nice afterlife for Imhotep but if he escapes he'll be super powerful and kill everyone!)

There are other, less successful projects scattered across the continent. I'd like to have seen more of these in some respect, especially with a tongue in cheek approach, and the observation "Bloody Wizards" attached.

(or she! there were women Seekers in the books) OMG! This amazes me. It doesn't make up for the gender mess but it's a good start.

He's so sparkly he glows in the dark. *grins* LOL! Gary Stu Richard is the best of the best! With honors!

fetish for the number threeIngrained deeply in Western magical thought and religion from the Triple Goddess to the Holy Trinity. That said, wtf is with the weird and random side effects?! I always thought Westland had no magic merely because of the barrier, as if it keeps the tide of magical energy back in the Midlands.

There are entire books that are obsolete because the creation of the book allowed another prophet to avoid that future. This amuses me and I imagine someone writing on the flyleaf "DO NOT READ THIS BOOK FOR AT LEAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS, I spent three whole years writing it, don't go messing about and changing things!!"

Richard's death or Richard's failure. I would have loved to see how the show might have dealt with that. :D Oh noes, Richard is dead! Wait, breath of life/shadow water/stone of tears! All good :D I love this show but seriously, the Underworld has a revolving door for the Rahls.

Thanks for giving me so much to think about and telling it in such an interesting manner!
