I really had to think a lot about Denna and where her most guarded weaknesses lie. What else could be taken from her? She has a thirst for pain so it had to go beyond that. Just when she’s sure she has nothing left to lose...I would be such a horrible Mistress, right?! Omg! I scared myself a little as I got to know Denna better.

She knows their fear and weakness buttons and she can threaten them but she doesn’t comprehend love and humanly selfless not everything is about a sisterhood and their codex. There are some other things she forgot that exist. Exactly XD Cara definitely has some of Snake‘s qualities. Nature vs. Nuture at it’s finest. But yeah, Snake was their Mistress, and she feels she bent them to her will. You’re so right, what a lonely feeling for Denna...knowing that she could‘ve possibly been in Dahlia’s place for Cara’s favor if Snake had truly wanted or felt she "deserved" that. It’s something to think about it and I think those kind of things torture Denna the most.

Ok, lol don’t judge me too harshly for this but I totally love the 2002 'The Time Machine' remake. There’s this one scene when the Morlock leader confronts the Time Traveler, Alexander, who is torturing himself about why he can’t change the past and save his love. The Morlock leader says, "You think I don't know you...? I can look inside your memories, your nightmares, your dreams. You're a man haunted by those two most terrible words: what if?" I LOVE THAT! I think most people are probably like that and Denna would be no exception, especially in her current state of lonliness and hopelessness. Snake knows how to exploit these things flawlessly and feels she can recreate Denna as many times as she desires. Btw, also, there’s another awesome quote from that awesome Morlock: We all have our time machines, don't we? Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams. /end of time travel geekiness for now.

Cara and Dahlia have no idea, how lucky they are. Awww. Especially Cara! Dahlia is amazing :D It’s a sad day when the only one who can grasp such a thing is Kahlan!!

Yeah the hot spring bunny was...hot lol. I thought it was fitting that Cara saved Kahlan from drowning but that she would use that prefered method to kill her again.

Awww of course you're welcome & ILU 2!!

Yeah, little bear, you scare me sometime, lol, not really :P
But you could've been a perfect Mistress cunning, noticing even little details, strong, stubborn and fearless kinda like Mistress Dahlia. Not like lousy Mistress Cara who doesn't care about her pets or Sisters or the Master or even herself. She kinda exists at the moment. ok I went east.

Let's talk Denna/Snake. Sorry back to Cara Cara definitely has some of Snake‘s qualities. Nature vs. Nuture at it’s finest. I just loved it!!!

But seriously fucking Snake is a real TEACHER, lol! What she did to girls is awful but how she taught them a process itself it's just so grand! She is like a best teacher ever only in a twisted way! And she knew all nuances in her trainees' lives and she could manipulate them just perfectly. But poor Denna is so wrong when believes fucking Snake that she could have been in Dahlia place! Oh, poor child, she was fooled again by Snake! Cara would never be with her like with Dahlia!

Lol, can't judge you, cuz I have no idea what you are talking about, lol, don't judge me for that! But I liked that the Morlock guy said to the other. What if? That question drives many people crazy! I say no if and buts. Life is already so complicated to make it even worse thinking of "if"!
I think most people are probably like that and Denna would be no exception, especially in her current state of lonliness and hopelessness. You are so right about it!!!

Snake knows how to exploit these things flawlessly and feels she can recreate Denna as many times as she desires. I just hope that Denna or Cara or Dahlia will kill her like Denna killed her trainer in the book, haha!

We all have our time machines, don't we? Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams. I like that! Hey, your geekiness is only welcomed here!

Dahlia is amazing :D It’s a sad day when the only one who can grasp such a thing is Kahlan!! Yep, plus two of us! Poor baby Denna has no idea, she wants Cara, no idea at all.

Hot spring killing. No, seriously, Cara lost a screw or two, lol. At least to die in a warm water might be a little more pleasurable than in a cold frozen lake. What am I talking about? ok, I have to go home.

lol thank you for your vote of confidence on my Mistress Lex job application XD ILU! Yeah, if I found myself in that position, I do like to think I'd be more like Dahlia.

omg ROFL I never thought I'd ever hear you call Cara "lousy" haha just brilliant!! Yeah, she often lives minute to minute here as selfishly controlling as possible. It's such a tragic waste of all her abilities. She has no real connections to anyone other than Dahlia and yet still prefered to hurt her the most.

I love that you love Snake! It really melts me :D
I mean, for Snake to have trained Cara and Dahlia, all you have to do is look at the end result of them and you know she had to be amazingly thorough and good in a very twisted and emotional way. They're not mindless weapons and they definitely retained such uniqueness and individuality. I believe they definitely had to be taught about teamwork and the "greater good" in order to function so seamlessly together. I just love how even when Cara was on trial for life, she remained loyal and protective of her Mistress and even when Cara learned the truth about her father, she didn't hate her for it. So completely complex...definitely my kind of thing.

But poor Denna is so wrong when believes fucking Snake that she could have been in Dahlia place! Oh, poor child, she was fooled again by Snake! Cara would never be with her like with Dahlia! I love how passionate you are on this :D That's what a good Mistress is able to do, instantly make you doubt everything you believe and have subsequently based your entire life on. Then she adds fear...not only does Denna now question if she could've had a great love and greater purpose, but now she has to live with the threat of motherhood and the knowledge of what Snake has planned for it's life. A chilling combination
imho

Aww I know you do always welcome my geekiness. lol people hate that movie but I love time travel so it was a win for me. Ooh I found that scene I was talking about...prepare yourself, it's sorta great XD

Yep, plus two of us! Poor baby Denna has no idea, she wants Cara, no idea at all. You're totally right, we see it too.
And yeah, the pain of Denna wanting something that may never exist for her...

At least to die in a warm water might be a little more pleasurable than in a cold frozen lake. lol!!! We know Cara is all for pleasure.

Lol! I don't want you to be a M'S! I like you better when you are my dark genius bear!XD

Lol, I liked your thoughts on "a teamwork for the greater good"!!! No, they aren't mindless weapons, they talk about themselves as such but they behave nothing like just the weapons!
Oh-oh, I liked Cara on the trial! She told about Nathair only when Rich ordered her to do it. And she never pleaded to the jury that she was a victim. And yes, she didn't hate her Mistress for the truth, she accepted it and she just accepted the fact that she, herself, killed an innocent man, her father and she was the only one to blame. No excuses for herself even she was a tricked 9 years old girl. Cara can take the responsibility like WOW! And their dynamic is so complicated and awesome!

That's what a good Mistress is able to do, instantly make you doubt everything you believe and have subsequently based your entire life on. Then she adds fear...not only does Denna now question if she could've had a great love and greater purpose, but now she has to live with the threat of motherhood and the knowledge of what Snake has planned for it's life.

Honestly? Very deep and perfect! So true! Snake is a very devious Mistress.

I'm definitely going to watch the Time Traveler! Jeremy Irons, lol! He is my weakness.

omg yes Cara was so strong at her trial, I loved every second. She stayed so true to herself. haha I did like when Richard yelled at her about her pride. That's just who she is...

Yeah, I love the 'The Time Machine' with a total passion!! I think time travel is such a mindblowing concept (almost as amazing as parallel universes) and movie stays pretty true to evolution so that rocks. Oh yeah u got it bad for Jeremy Irons? lol. Yes he's the Morlock!! Then you must see it :D Let me know as soon as you do

Honestly? I think she lacks the self-saving instinct and it always amazes me how she survived for so long. I think that Goodkind just like her a lot and let her live being so careless and proud.

Heee, 'The time machine" is in my Q already!

BTW, speaking of time travel, have you seen "Donnie Darko"?
