swatkatVote Buffy.
I am sure Sheldon Cooper is funny and smart and entertaining, but we're talking about Buffy Summers here. Remember this?
Angelus: No weapons... no friends... no hope. Take all that away and what's left?
Buffy: Me.
I'm getting all soppy and nostalgic now.

Meanwhile, someone should tell Bridget Regan to stop being so awesome. I'm not supposed to fangirl real people like this. It's not my style.
Anyway. Some things of note:
* So we get to meet Kahlan's father. Finally.
Her past is pretty dark and pretty heavy, which is why the season is so wonderful for me because there is so much love in her life that she never ever thought she would have.
I will most likely be a complete and utter wreck in the course of the episode.
* She was alone when we met her. She was in kind of a bad place.
I know, I know. And yet she held herself together like that. Oh, Kahlan!
* I love it. The coolest thing about Cara and Kahlan is that they've both had training, just very different training. They've both been put into roles – Mord Sith and Confessor – that demand them not to be normal women. In that way, they relate to each other. And in that way, they almost sympathize, though it took a really long time for them both to admit it. In the end, they're both on the same side, protecting the same man, but they have a lot of reasons to distrust one another.
It's been the most exciting addition to the show for me as well because it is changing and evolving. Their presence tests each other all the time. Cara's character has been softening over this season. It's like there's been a crack in her shell. Kahlan can see into the core of her, which is really just this soft, damaged little girl.
She even writes our fic for us, see?
* Kahlan was raised to believe that she will never have love in her life, other than for her children that she hopes to have. They're taught to confess and take a man as their mate, so what she has now is something she never thought she would have, which is this reciprocal love that can't really be acted on. I think it's made her go a little bit soft. Basically, her whole belief system has been turned upside down. When we first met Kahlan, she was all about prophecy and destiny, and that's really been replaced with a belief in Richard. She's been throwing prophecy out of the window lately. She's put all her faith in this one man and I have a feeling that it will be tested. You wonder whether she's acting out of duty or love and whether or not it's clouding her judgment.
Interesting.

Galactica: Sabotage. Man, this vid makes me miss that show so much.
