I only saw the post title out of the corner of my eye, and I thought you'd misspelled Lost. And then as I was clicking to my flist, I realized what it actually must have said and was sad.
Yeah, are the Seeker and his Confessor always going to be madly in love? I imagine not always, but I'd bet it's not a very uncommon occurrence. I liked that about this episode - showing that Richard and Kahlan's situation isn't unique. Not all Confessors are gorgeous - see Sacrifice.
Which speaks to your 5th point. In the book, the difference is clear. A man who's confessed essentially has no free will - his only thought, ever, is to do what the woman who confessed him wants. In the show, so far, they've been ambiguous about it.
Yeah, I don't think Kieran was confessed either. The show is going to have to address the fact that Confessors keep dying and these guys are sticking around, still in love with them. (See also Lara and that villager guy in "Denna".)
4. I know, right? I mean, I guess he trusts R&K more than Kieran and Vivian, but jeez, Zedd.
The show is going to have to address the fact that Confessors keep dying and these guys are sticking around, still in love with them. They really are. The fact that Confessors can make anyone fall in love with them is obscuring the fact that sometimes men might just fall in love with Confessors without coercion. I think that it could be a decent plot point actually, depending on how they handle it. At the moment, I'm sort of amazed that Richard and Kahlan have gotten more on-screen make-out time than most official couples in other shows. I mean, dude.
I know, right? It's sweet that he trusts them and all, but ah, they just came about this close to sex and I'm thinking there might be some issues left over from that. You think they were frustrated before ...
