  Mirror
  I have watched the episode and after watching it more than once I have to say I liked it!!! a lot!!! very funny, sexier, (i thought it was supposed to be PG, oh well, is better now) and i think it was full of details…. i think the acting was great and I know one of you is a Zedd fan, what do you think about Bianca/Zedd??

  Also, what are your thoughts on how easily Richard gave up and couldnt resist “fake kahlan” i think that wasnt played right….kahlan keeps telling him how scared she is of them losing control and Richard tells her how strong they are and everything and it took her 3 seconds to get him into the water and kiss him…. come on richard!!!

  that one D’Haran soldier left alive, and walking away with the Mord’Sith- he seemed really familiar I felt like I was missing a huge clue- his voice was familiar and we never saw his face. Plus why would he be the only D’haran alive? Convenient methinks. I don’t know who he would be, I’m pretty sure it was not Chase, but can you guys think of anyone? Maybe the man at the end of “Listener” who wanted to help them, but had to go home first to help his family. The camera focused way too much on him.  And did you guys notice this, or am I just over thinking things.

  Bridget and Craig made me believe that they were different people. I also thought that Bruce’s acting was great too. When he was at the end trying to tell the other guy he loved him was so funny. I also like at the end where Bridget, Craig, and Bruce are walking at the end and Craig told Bridget that whatever he said was going to get him into trouble and Bruce was like your getting smarter everyday.

The Confessed has one of the best audiences in all of podcasting!  On Episode 4- “Clara’s Guide to Magic,” when we were talking about the two main flavors of magic in Legend of the Seeker, I said that I wasn’t sure how they were going to treat magic in the series compared to the books because I couldn’t remember them using the terms Additive or Subtractive Magic in the series.

Well we have an answer:  spiceseeker commented:

Hi Eric, Eden, and Brian,

Thanks for posting another great show and for all your thoughts on magic. I agree that this show has done really well in striking the right balance between character development and the use of magic. Magic is important but it doesn’t overshadow the other things we love about the series, such as Richard and Kahlan’s relationship and the exploration of ethics and justice.

I just wanted to mention something about additive magic; I believe you said on your show that the TV series hadn’t used the term “additive magic” yet, but as I recall, Zedd actually did use that term at the end of “Bounty” when he re-formed Richard’s pendant from the ink on Sebastian’s magical map. After Richard’s surprised reaction, Zedd explained that he was using additive magic, though he didn’t go into further detail. However, you’re right that the other side of additive magic has not been touched upon (I won’t mention what it is here, just in case, because it’s a spoiler from the books). I’m also hoping that the show will delve into these things more in the future.

I look forward to your show on “Mirror”!

Many thanks,

spiceseeker

Sure enough, check out the clip:

I doubted they would deviate too far from the books on this.  If you know of any other spots in the show, post it in the comments.
