Seeker 2x12 ‘Hunger’ Cracky Recap
This ep was pretty srs bsns after last week. It's almost like the writers are saying, ‘watch us do back-to-back character studies in two completely opposite tones. Yeah, we're that good.’
Not unlike other parts of the Southern Hemisphere, it would appear the Midlands have also been slightly flooded this week.
THADDICUS: This is too much like hard work! Why oh why did I eat my horse last week?
THADDICUS: Dick-In-A-Box delivery! ‘We come to you!’
SEBASTIAN: DO NOT WANT.
WHAT. WHAT IS THAT LOGO DOING ALL OVER MY EPISODE?! KILL IT ZEDD!!
…Thank you!
ZEDD: The logo is back. It must be protected by Powerful Magic™. 1
RICHARD: Whatev, Zedd, just stay screen-left, you'll be fine.
SOME WAIF: Save me from the bad, bad men, Seeker!
CARA: Maybe you didn't hear, but Richard has Super Important Hero Business to attend to. He has a hair appointment at 5.
RICHARD: Cara!
CARA: What? Your hero hair is important.
FRECKLES.
KAHLAN: Could banelings be kidnapping these people?
CARA: Banelings kill people, not collect them. Remind me never to be on your Trivial Pursuit team.
ZEDD: Shut up Cara, I'm outlining The Rules of Being a Baneling so you and the audience are all clued up for later.
CARA: Oh. So I should be taking notes?
EVERYONE: Yes!
Also, her barely concealed twitch when Richard decides to save the girl. LULZ.
Then there's some plot. The best part of the scene is Sebastian's monocle.
Seriously, is that a bushfire behind the clearing? They always have amazing mood-mist in this show.
RICHARD: Stay here while we find out.
*everyone decides to come along anyway*
NINJA TIME! *THEME MUSIC* …Omg someone has to vid this. It can just be a montage of badassery. Edit: I can't believe. alex-davis11 actually made the ninja vid to that song!)
(HAIR! ♥)
RICHARD: Sic 'em, Cara!
This dress makes watching Kahlan deliver a spectacular ass/rib/shin/jaw-kicking an absolute pleasure.
KAHLAN'S HAIR: *creates a distraction* and then…
BAMFFFF:
By the way, Glen, fidesangelus loves you long time. What are you doing this Friday night?
*dances out of fides's reach*
BITCH THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE ARM!!
Now Kahlan's going to be like that poor bird-monster in Where The Wild Things Are that had a stick for an arm :(
See! Aw Zedd don't pull out her stick-arm!
In other thoughts...
Dear Medical Journal/knowledgeable readers (yes pirateygoodness I'm looking at you),
Is it actually advisable field medicine to rip an arrow out of someone? Apparently not.
Weird coincidence: last time Thaddicus was in an episode Kahlan also got arrowed and it was totally hot.
…Aw that first cap makes me miss season 1 Kahlan.
Cara can run a mile in heels and STILL HASN'T EVEN BROKEN A SWEAT. She should be doing Rexona ads :P
NOOOO0000000oooooooo00000000OOOOOOO!
So now I need to link you all to this great little thread I've been stalking in the 2x12 Discussion Post, because it contains super great thoughts about how our heroes are fallible and how this baddie wasn't anything special, Cara just made a mistake and that was enough to get her killed. There's Buffy comparisons too! A+ for thinky thoughts over there, guys.
As the face of L'Oréal Midlands, Kahlan's gone and hooked Cara up with some wicked Astonishing Lengths Mascara.
And LOL some dead guy sees the new arrival and is like ‘Hey, high five!’
HAHAHAAA. STRAIGHT TO BUSINESS, EH CARA. None of this ‘oh god I'm dead… and naked!‘ stuff, that's for mere mortals, pfft.
EYE ZOOOOM caps for hollywoodgrrl. I know your kinks, bb ;)
RAHL: Why would I send you back when I could have you here for all eternity.
CARA: Because you aren't man enough to handle me for all eternity.
CARA: What does it matter why I do it, as long as I do it?
GOOD POINT CARA. WE WILL WATCH YOU DO IT, REGARDLESS OF MOTIVATION.
Aaand it's time to winch my brain out of the gutter again, thank you writers.
DIAL 000 FOR AN EMERGENCY IN MY PANTS. Look at the lighting and the shoulders and the hair and her faaace!
It turns out Cara only really bargained her way back to the world of the living because she forgot something up there:
CARA'S FOOT: *delivers IOU plus interest*
CARA: …What? Is there something on my face?
RICHARD: :O
CARA: Miss me?
KAHLAN: No. …Miss me?
CARA: No.
KAHLAN: Good.
CARA: Great.
RICHARD: Peter Jackson called, he wants his brother back.
Did Bridget just do a wire stunt? She totally caught air!!!
Edit: Not a wire stunt! IMPRESSED.
The lighting in this ep, yum.
MRS ZOMBIELAND: One of uuuuuussss.
Cara watches Mrs Zombieland suffer the very fate she could face, and it's pretty confronting. But Cara's mostly frightened by the woman's outfit.
UNHAPPY CUSTOMER: “I wish to register a complaint!”
CARA: We're stopping?
ZEDD: Richard needs his beauty sleep. Looks like you could do with some yourself.
KAHLAN: You could… share my blanket, Cara. I'll be the big spoon tonight.
CARA: Big spoon, little spoon... what's the point…
…because TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELLLLLLLL. And in hell there's no spoons :(
(THIS IS SO SCARY OMG)
KAHLAN: Here's your emotional baggage, baby.
LOLOLOL PURE COMEDY RIGHT THERE MR RAIMI.
And then Cara pulls lots of very cute faces while she tries to figure out how to be not-dead using Shadow Water.
And Richard and Kahlan are doing Cara's old job, standing around looking pretty in the background while Zedd uncovers the plot point.
ZEDD: What a wonderful wayfinding device! I shall call it Google Maps.
Ack this whole scene. She looks so alone and haunted and for gods sake wont someone give her a hug?! Kahlan?
RAHL: You know, I'd let you be the big spoon, Cara.
CARA: I'm really more of an all purpose utensil. Like a Swiss Army Knife.
lksfg;aekfga ekfga ;lefhgkaje[fkhjla[efkjh
I JUST CANNOT- Cara proves herself to be such a hero in this scene. This is her turning point. Oh show.
She's not even upset because she's about to die, she's upset because she thinks she's failed Richard.
Remember when Cara wouldn't even let her own sister touch her? Aaaah, I simply cannot deal, this is too amazing. Oh Tabrett.
WHAT!?!?@! DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!
AND THE LOOK ON KAHLAN'S FACE! It's like Cara's The Beast and Kahlan is Belle and when the Beast is transformed back into a handsome prince-WAIT. DID WE MISS THE KISSING PART? (Oh lol there was a song-version of this already wasn't there!)
AAH AND NOW SHE'S CRYING MORE OMGGGGG.
So apparently Richard is Cara's candy man because she sucks on an appendage of his for a while and it's pretty hilar. I can hear many Word documents being opened around the globe as our fantastic Seeker writing army begin penning finger fetish fic.
RICHARD: Um… are you done?
CARA: …Awkward.
Cara rushes off to kiss Thaddicus and everyone is practically climbing up the walls, like OH MY GOD WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HUG HER?!
Kahlan calculates the distance between herself and Cara, makes sure Richard's not watching her, and then goes for the hug- !
LOL.
I was trying to think of something to write, but to be honest, I was busy laughing at the bird sound effects going completely crazy in the background.
KAHLAN: You were kind of awesome today.
CARA: It was really no big deal...
CARA: …Does this mean I get to be the big spoon tonight?
KAHLAN: Oh yes. Spooning, forking… there may even be sporking.
:D
THE MORAL OF THIS STORY?
KILLING CARA ONLY MAKES HER STRONGER.
THE END!
1 Pretty sure this term was coined by pirateygoodness. Respect!
Phew. I might need a hiatus from the recaps soonish. JSYK in advance.
BUT GUYS. NEXT WEEK CARA GOES UNDERCOVER AS A PRINCESS. THERE'S FRILLS AND DOILIES AND A ‘MASQUERADE OF MANNERS’ AND I SWEAR WE SAW ZEDD CROSSDESSING AND RICHARD IN A BLONDE WIG IN THAT PREVIEW.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO BORROW hjea's AMAZING PIC TO HIGHLIGHT HOW AWESOME THIS IS GOING TO BE:
\o/
ROCK ON, SEEKER PEEPS <3
Edit: I should make links to these part of my recap template: pirateygoodness presents: 2.12 ladyspam: feeeeeeelings. FTW.
