I am really loving The Confessor as a power/plot device/shortcoming. It's genius and scary and awful and I am really impressed with it. It might get old eventually, but the story has been filling in nicely around it, so it's been a lot of fun.

I do like that they gave us a "false" Confession. And not just because Kahlan is pretty when she's sad. It shows that Goodkind (or whoever) put a lot of thought into it. And the whole "I live to serve you, Confessor" will NEVER stop being hella creepy.

I was going to make a sarcastic comment about Zed being careful whilst removing things from Richard's brain because there's not all that much there to begin with, but he's been good the last few episodes, so I'll refrain.
