( More on Techland: Q&A: Legend of the Seeker‘s Bridget Regan on Corsets, True Love & Being a Badass)Īnd then there is the return of Darken Rahl (Craig Parker). We learned that she actually gave birth to a son who was killed after he was born (or was he?) and it became clear she had so many other pieces of her life to recover. (Leo!) I’m sad that while we saw that Richard and Kahlan were able to beat out Kahlan’s Confessor magic, there was no resolution for Cara.

By far the most interesting story of the season belonged to Cara, (Tabrett Bethell) the deadly Mord Sith turned protector of the Seeker.Īs a Mord Sith, Cara was basically stripped of her humanity, but after joining up with Richard and gang, she began to recover her emotions, which produced some of the high points of the season in my mind. The only thing that could seal the rift was the Stone of Tears (Ah, I smell a quest!) and so off they went, fighting zombie-like Banelings and venomous Sisters of the Dark. Our heroes saved the day, of course, but season two opened with a tear in the veil between the worlds of the dead and the living, unleashing creatures of the underworld dispatched by the Keeper, who wanted nothing more than to take out everything that breathed. We saw the progression of Richard and Kahlan’s (Bridget Regan) relationship as well as the relationship between Richard and the wizard Zedd (Bruce Spence), who it turns out, is Richard’s grandfather. In season one, we watched Richard Cypher (Craig Horner) evolve into a storybook hero who rose up against an evil leader, Darken Rahl, who we discovered was actually his brother.

What we got was a close to a chapter, not a the final words of an epic story fans have spent two years following. With no prior warning, it’s impossible to feel as though the show has actually ended. ( More on Techland: Legend of the Seeker Canceled, I Mourn)

In a fantasy world rich with magic and dynamic characters, I found myself not only wondering about the happy ever after for Richard and Kahlan merely hinted at at the show’s end, but what Darken Rahl’s return? Cara’s return to human emotion? Whatever zany thing Zedd is thinking of doing next? While I realize that the show’s producers didn’t have the final word on whether Seeker would see a third season at the time they finished the final episode of season two, I can’t help but feel so disappointed.
