So far - though we’re only two episodes in - I appreciate how Seeker is moving the larger story along, even though the show follows an adventure-of-the-week format.
I wish her distrust of Cara was portrayed more subtly. The writers are making Kahlan seem petty she keeps taking little jabs at the former Mord-Sith leader. Cara and Kahlan continue to annoy each other, even though they both follow the Seeker. We were treated to some great action scenes and got to see Cara battle “The Butcher” and his men alongside Richard, Zedd, and Kahlan. Since Terry Goodkind’s books include a fair amount of graphic violence, I think fans of the Sword of Truth series may appreciate episodes like “Baneling.” (Let me know if that’s true, Goodkind fans.) It featured a lot of death, killing, and gore - more than any episode from last season, as far as I can remember. When Richard fights, he now has to worry about his enemies coming back as banelings. Besides undead monsters - like the screeling from last week - the Keeper of the Underworld can send back dead people, who kill more victims for the Keeper in order to stay alive. Now we know why the tear in the veil between the Underworld and the land of the living is really, really bad.
