Thanks so much for the detailed reply, it's very cool to get more of an insight!

It actually reminded me a lot of the Faith/Buffy scene at the end of Revelations, though with the relationship turning in the opposite direction. I often got the sense that Cara/Kahlan is what Faith/Buffy *would* have been, if Faith had stuck around for the entire series.

Yes yes, agree! The parallels in the dynamics are quite striking in places, and also a lot of fun.

I don't think any of that would have really hurt her, in that way, before Kahlan's love (THERE! I said it!) opened her up to feelings again and helped her rediscover her humanity.

OH THE ANGST. But I really like what you articulate here about the downsides Cara suffers by developing her sense of empathy and compassion again - in some ways, it's really not helpful given the kinds of situations they find themselves in on the show.

Much to chew on! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I'm very glad and relieved you enjoyed the commentary and that it at least somewhat lined up to the way you see the vid.
