Oh god, someone made a Sword of Truth live action? - Page 2

First couple were totally off in the right direction, but after Richard inherited the fiftieth power and title, pumped silly philosophies ("CUT! Above all else, kill shit! CUT!", and that's to say nothing of the limp-wristed objectivism), lacquered it on with enough rape to make Miller scratch his head, and that's not even to say anything about the godawful forced 'drama' he throws in, let alone the 'resolutions', I was done.

I read them all back when I was a teenager, thought they were pretty good, which is funny because looking back I don't think I even really remembered all the rape rape rape rape he did.

The Confessors power was there along with the Quads to take care of that. All in Day one with Kahlan.

I'm just kinda pissed that the magic wasn't expanded on and it became the All Important Febreze for fighting. It's better than Swordchucks!

Oh man, the magic system is great.

Additive - Make anything! This is good and easy and totally okay!
Subtractive - EVIL AND WRONG AND DIFFICULT AND NOBODY HAS IT!!!!! oh except Richard now

And I love the names. Math is Magic!

Hey, hey, hey.
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys was an awesome show, okay?

You can have Xena.
That was just a bad Hercules rip-off with boobs.

I know I'm getting kinda derisive...

But damn, Iolaus has "Kenny McCormick" written all over him with the last few seasons. And Hercules still remains champion of the world with no defeats.

This show is a decent way to waste an hour. The most recent episode hinged entirely on whether or not this baby was going to get drowned, and Richard was all like "NO!" and the Mother Confessor Chick was all like "YES!" for about an hour. Zeddicus flamethrowered lots of people, though. Of course there was a completely perfect solution devised for the evil baby so it could live which was of course totally unrealistic.

Also, what was up with the chick getting pregnant off of the assassin who is her mind-slave? Was I the only one who saw anything slightly unethical in that? Everyone else was just like "YAY THAT IS SO GREAT."

Mmm, maybe I haven't seen H:TLJ in a long time and just got stupid Xena mixed up, which was absolutely absurdly stupidtastic. So, okay, I'll give you that one.
