LOLOLOL the Zedd jumping scene was absolutely perfect! :D Bruce Spence is amazing! :D

ZOMG KAAHLAAN, MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN EVAH
Honestly I always failed to see any chemistry between Richard and Kahlan. And all those scenes where Richard is staring at her dumbstruck were very, very confusing to me. It is indeed like he's never seen a woman before and only reacts to her because she's the only one around.

The only male gay character we see in the show is a rather dopey guard who is easily wooed by not!Richard's charms.
If the guy wasn't the ONLY one male gay character I think it would work very well. It would show that not any bystander is by default straight. But as it is... *sighs* You're right.

It also got me worried when the teacher!Cara didn't show her bisexual tendencies at all.
We only see that she has been married to a guy, is a mother of two kids, and is interested romantically in Leo (another guy). All of which might imply that her bisexuality is only a part of her 'evil' Mord'Sith personality and a result of her being corrupted by Dark Magic. And if not corrupted by magic Cara is a 'normal' woman with a 'normal' straight sexual orientation and a 'normal' "married, with kids" life. Ugh. That isn't a nice implication at all.
(Though I'm somewhat relieved that the real Cara was horrified at her AU self.)

So yeah. The show had its problems.

It's a great review, bb! :D It really made me think more about everything. Thank you for sharing it! :D
*HUGS*
