LotS 2x22 "Tears"
I think what gets me the most about this episode is that the TV series is over. It's so bittersweet because I didn't even care about the first season and now I'm absolutely in love with the second, now I want more and it's ending! I'm disappointed with the last episode though. I mean, the writers are capable of great storytelling. At least, that's what I would like to think. I'm leaning more toward the actors creating more layers to their characters that just words on a page. Either way, the last episode was terribly paced and the rest of the series could have used as much driving plot (however unhappy I am with it).
Zedd! I feel like he's in such a state of confusion and panic between his spell utterly failing, shit still hitting the fan, and having to accept that it's all his fault. Okay, but seriously, casting the undoing spell again like it's an etch-a-sketch. Scribble, scribble, scribble! Shake to erase! Doing it over and over again! It was so fucking painful to watch the show pretend like meaningful plot and characters just didn't exist. It feels like a transparently cheap trick to the show back on track. :\ Boooo!
HOWEVER! There are things I liked. Sister Nicci! You're finally as badass as you were in the books! That makes me happy. The awesome make-it-happen attitude, the black outfit, and her own agenda totes makes her Death's Mistress in my head.
Cara's feelings in this episode! I love how far she's come and realizing she has such attached feelings for Kahlan when she hesitates to kill her. And then, when Cara and Zedd rush out thinking that Kahlan is free from confession, Cara does this little gasp and takes a step behind Zedd. I dunno, but it was cute and adorable and my heart was all a flutter. :3
There's more, but I just wish it ended differently. It begs for a third season and it kills me to think I'll never get it. :(
But there's always fanfiction. And it can be slashed and AU'd in every which direction because the show already did it worse.
