That's about as much as I've seen. (http://rashaka.livejournal.com/1470093.html)
This may be a good point to mention that I actually really, really love why Kahlan and Richard can't happen and the consent stuff that directly relates to Kahlan's powers is quite well done.
I hope the tv show handles it better than the book. I read the first book, and the resolution to that question was so stupid it kept me from reading any more books.
Kahlan's fucking -I don't even have the words - thing where she comforts that rapist asshole who's drugging the chick he wants to nail.
That was so bad. I think the show tried to portray it as "harmless" flirting or kissing, not as far as actual sex, but still, GROSS. To experiment, I try and think "it's innocent, not as far as rape" but then I imagine someone I don't like with their hands on my waist and their tongue in my mouth...gross. It's still a huge violation.
On that subject, I love how our heroes (and especially Kahlan) is shown killing people. Over and over again. I think the collateral damage is excellent.
The violence and the prettiness of the show are two of its high points for me. I love that Richard accepts Kahlan as a guardian figure, and that they fight back to back.
