1x19 "Cursed"

[serendipityxxi]

So I actually wrote up a (semi) coherent ep review for this weekend's episode and thought I'd share with you guys as we often do icon posts and fic and vids but not alot of post-ep flailing! And so I give you

Comments

I knooow! *is so proud of it*

Y'know you're right. It really is like she's grown into playing the character. I never really thought of it like that :)

Epic hugs FTW! :)

I thought that this episode was one of the best so far as well. It gave us a little of everything without feeling forced. Kahlan and Richard were perfect! The hug after he brings her out of the Con Dar was awesome. I enjoyed it immensely I've watched it twice but I'm sure i'll watch it a couple more times before the next one.

I always watch it a bunch of times cause I'm obssessed cause my friends all get it at different times over the weekend and I always like it better upon each repeat :)

Awesome review! I'm usually one of those people that avoids all things review like and if I don't - I skim it and pick out all the key words but this was ace! I totally miss all those "little" things unless I watch something again and again but I don't think I would've ever noticed the whole Zedd/Shota "holding hands" part. You're right, the LOTS crew are great at providing details and that's one of the many reasons I love it.

My favourite bit was just seeing the look of desperation on Kahlan's face when she wanted to use the Con Dar as Richard was about to have his hands 'cut' off by the D'Harans. Epic!

Anywayz I hope you write another for the next eppy - I'd love to read it!

LOL Well thank you! If I can dredge up some more coherency I just might :) Kahlan has awesome Richard induced Freak Out face! I want to hug her every time she puts it on *L* I loved the slow pan from Corah to Kahlan to Richard as the D'Harans poured in right before he almost had his hands cut off too. It was really well done, very EPIC feeling :)

"Kahlan has awesome Richard induced Freak Out face!"

Haha she does and Richard has a good Kahlan Freak Out face as well.

P. S. I really wanted some *Spoiler*- Blue lightning

I never know if my posts about each episode are coherent but that seems to be a trend since I'm sure my babbling reaches levels of utter weirdness and confusing. I loved this episode. I loved it when Richard calmed her down when she was in the Con Dar and that look on Kahlan's face when Richard was about to have his hands cut off.

I find it hard to be coherent about Seeker it's so awesome I'm usually just left with Capslock and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and GLEE! *L*

I love that it's only Richard who can bring her out of Con Dar *happy sigh*

[gloomybardgirl]

I'm probably often incoherent unless I accidentally make sense since I have the power of confusion. Yeah that is cool that he's the only one that can snap her out of it.

I totally agree with everything you have here. I thought the episode was fantastic. I've loved every single episode, and I swear they just keep getting better and better each time. :)

And I really love how good a job they do at creating characters and stories that aren't from the book, as well as how they balance the new with the material they take from the books. Especially in this instance, they did a fantastic job creating this mystical sort of kingdom (especially in such a short amount of time), yet they still managed to keep a connection to the book through Shota's involvement.

The only downside to it all is that waiting for a new episode is so freaking hard...
