I think that was an interesting point to bring up about the male child, and to make Kahlan the new Mother Confessor, which I understand she is in the book.
I also like the stance Richard took in this episode concerning the male child. If he had acted any other way, then what kind of " seeker " would he truly be???
It really makes you wonder about the future of that male child, though, and what may happen in the future to them all. That last scene shown of the child was sweet, but at the same time very chilling, to say the least.
I found it hard to believe the actions of the Mother Confessor in this episode. I suppose she was trying to carry out past tradition, but she seemed a little crazy to me too. Do you suppose having to kill her own male child as she said she did made her crazy, or something? And, what about what she did to the Wizard when she confessed him, would she have suffered some kind of bad fate or punishment for doing that if she hadn't of died in the end of the episode? I'm a little surprised how bad the Wizard is treated sometimes with all his power, magic, etc.
One more point, what do you think of the fashions on this show so far? What did you think of Kahlan dressed in that red suit of the enemy as she saved her sister from the prison, I think it was. Pretty snazzy, I thought. Kahlan has great fashions, and I like Richard's outfit too. The Wizard's robes are long and flowing, but I think he could use a little help in the wardrobe department some how.
