Nowhere Left To Run

Kahlan was mentioned in my second-to-last post and then I found some awesome icons of her which demanded to be uploaded, which lead me to rewatch the best parts of the pilot and "Torn" and now I need an excuse to use said icons.

So talk to me about Legend of the Seeker please. Any kind of comment is welcome (except for 'lots is DUMB and you are DUMB for watching it and I HATE badass ladies with epic hair.')

I've never watched a single episode of this series. Why do you love it?

I love the costume designs. Kahlan's Confessor robes and Cara's Mord Sith leathers are both amazing. I also really loved the episode where Cara had to pretend to be a noblewoman so they could break Kahlan out of the dungeon. Cara was amazing- but I was really dazzled with the pretty dresses.

I've only seen about halfway through the pilot because I saw it on Megavideo. I tried to utorrent it, but it failed.

I heard the song "On a Mission" by Gabriella Cilmi the other day and went...wow, this is like, every woman on LotS ever. I mean, even the female guest stars usually have a plot of some kind, and I don't mean just the evil kinds. It's things like that that make me wonder what exactly the gender politics of the TV-version of the Midlands/D'Hara are, since usually in entirely patriarchal societies women are taught to be passive.

ah-hahahaha sadly from the season one episodes I watched I never felt like the writers quite knew how to handle what they were dealing with...which, listening to my friend describe the books, kind of sounds like what the author himself struggled with, and he had created everything. :-(

Still. Denna. I have watched that one many a time when needing a healthy viewing of testosterone in my life.

Mostly I am commenting to say that I completely understand your icon conundrum, because the other day I found the most gorgeous set of Breakfast at Tiffany's icons, and I have just been posting with them wherever I go because I love them so much.
