More of the same garbage that Sam Raimi and his ilk have been spewing ever since November 1st, 2008.
In this episode there is a boy who can read minds. This completely eliminates the need for Confessors.
Kahlan's backstory was expanded upon and changed in the weirdest of ways. Apparently, the touch of her mother wore off of King Wyborn when she died and then he kidnapped Kahlan and her birth sister (which Kahlan never had - Denee was her adopted sister) and forced them to use their powers on people. Not only did this never happen in the books; but there were still Wizards and OTHER CONFESSORS around who would have put a stop to this immediately........let alone King Wyborn have reverted to himself when Kahlan's mother died. I'm sure if that were the case Confessors would have been hunted to extinction long before Darken Rahl invaded the Midlands.
Zedd apparently has both Additive and Subtractive magic now.....as he transformed a man into a bird, and then back again. Remember that in the books a Wizard could transform a man into an animal after being touched by a Confessor; but they could not return him to a human being.
"The Sisters of Light" not The Sisters of the Light now live in (to quote someone I read earlier on another posting) "the lollipop valley of happiness". They have been made to live in a magical valley behind two sliding rocks that are opened with a magical phrase (In the New World mind you). Additionally, there's a bell hanging inside the entrance that you ring and one of the Sisters happens to be right there as if they were expecting you. Who knew that a group of women so integral to the story that they are there from book 2 until the end could be made so trivial? Sam Raimi and his hacks, that's who.
Terry Goodkind, In your wisdom we are no longer humbled.....I hope you enjoy the money you sell out.
