Legend of the Seeker - 2x07 - Resurrection

[fembuck]

Uh...omg!  Le-e-e-e-enged of the Seeker, unh *pant* *pant*  You're so good, oooh oooh, really awesome chick fights ... ah ah ah, Cara ... apologizing ... so ... hot, *moan* *whimper* *sigh* Le-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!"

*collapses against the mattress*

Wow, that was good. *drapes arm across forehead*  Welcome back, baby!



- I'm am so glad that Denna got away scott free  again!  I want that fabulous bitch to come back again real soon!

- Denna and Cara's every interaction were perfect in every way.  I loved their bitchy verbal brawls.  Cara was having so much fun getting to be an unapologetically snarky bitch once again.  I love Cara when she's all smirky and snarky.

Tabrett's facial expressions were absolutely delicious.  She looked like she wanted to eat Denna up with a spoon and then go for seconds with extra agiel! 

And Jessica Marais was icy, gravelly voiced perfection once again.  I love how curvy she is.  Denna looks so soft and inviting, but she's also scary as hell.  It's a very fetching combination.  Also, Denna taking down people with a blow dart ... unf!

Honestly, Cara and Denna were like two glorious golden lions stalking each other. 

Denna:  Safe journey Cara.  I'll take good care of Richard.
Cara:  If he has so much as a scratch when I get back *fucking sexy ass smirk*  you'll be sorry.
Denna:  *fucking sexy look of anticipation*

The next time they meet up the sex is going to be AWESOME!  I mean, like one of them is going to need the 'breath of life' after! 

At the very least, the next time they meet there had better be an ageil 'interrogation scene'.  Because fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Jessica and Tabrett have pure animal sexual chemistry with each other.  Like they seem like they'd do it dirty and raw and that shit is hawt!

- It legit cracked me up when Kahlan was like, "I've lost you twice before ... I don't know if I could lose you again," cause that is something only a television character could say.  But I'm glad that Denee is back, and that Kahlan was so proud of her bb Cara putting it out there and apologizing even though she knew it would be rejected.  Kahlan was totally like, "That's my girl".  It was almost as dreamy as Kahlan taking the mother of all ninja drives into a fight to save her bb Cara from harm!

- Speaking of which, Cara defending Kahlan when Denna was talking about how Kahlan compromises Richard made my little heart patter.  Cara legit respects Kahlan and looks up to her - even though she wouldn't admit it to her face.  It's like she can make fun of Kahlan all she wants, but she'll agiel someone else in the balls if they look at Kahlan funny.

- This show should have Craig Horner take his shirt off more.  I really like looking at Craig Horner with his shirt off, so they should definitely do that more.  Oh, and definitely keep the low riding pants that dip down fetchingly during fight scenes.

- Random thought:  I don't know why, but it cracked me up when Denna looked so surprised/scared when the green spirit first came up from the under world, like she was thinking "Whoa, maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all!".  She's done it in the other episodes as well, and it's cracked me up every time.

- Is it awful that I kind of want Cara/Denee fic now, where Cara behaves like a naughty puppy begging for forgiveness from her mistress?  Cause the look she was giving Denee when apologizing was totally a sad puppy begging you to forgive it for tinkling on the rug, and when Denee hit her nose with a rolled up newspaper I felt so bad for Cara.

- Darken Rahl was having way to much fun with the possibility of getting to torture his naked half-brother for eternity. 

- If Cara doesn't get some action in the next whore house she goes to, I'mma a cut a bitch!  Cara looked like she was looking forward to relaxing at Denna's swinging pad when Richard cock-blocked her by telling her to go get Kahlan and Zedd.  Let Cara sleep with one of the pretty girls.  I'm pretty sure she wont' break them.  And if she does, they probably enjoyed it.  So get on that, k?

- Next weeks episode looks kickass.  Kahlan new fighting costume looks amazing!  The glimpses of it made me swoon a little.  I don't know why she gets a new fighting costume, but I'm looking forward to seeing it!



I've probably forgotten to mention a ton of awesome stuff about this episode, but the squee is not letting me think clearly.

*dreamy sigh*  I'm so happy this show is back.

So I've been forcing myself to NOT see teh ghey on Legend, just because my shipper heart belongs to Richard/Kahlan. That lasted until this episode. Holy smokes there was girlies lusting after other girlies ALL over the freaking place. Tabrett does smoldering animal sexy eyes like a freaking pro. But the writing backed it up too, with the defending Kahlan's honor stuff. HAWT.

HOW? Are you watching blindfolded? lol

I know! It was insane how gay the girls were for each other this episode. It was beautiful to behold!

Tabrett does smoldering animal sexy eyes like a freaking pro.

Word. When Cara is in HBIC mode, there is nothing sexier than her on the planet, and most of it comes from Tabrett's eyes and her mouth, oh god that mouth.

But the writing backed it up too, with the defending Kahlan's honor stuff. HAWT.

Very, very hawt!

ummm, i just about 'wet me panties' during the fight scene. & while i'm queerer than black sunshine Richard w/o his shirt was kinda... tasty. totally excited that they brought Denna back & the sexual tension btw her and Cara was off the charts! i actually turned away from watching UCONN women's b-ball (& i'm an avid fan) to watch this episode! by the way this show is getting a lot of notice in Hollywood circles - even Steven Spielberg 'confesses' to being a fan. well i'm off to watch the Watchment for more leather/latex-wearing chicks! until next week!

ummm, i just about 'wet me panties' during the fight scene.

Oh, I know! Cara and Denna going at it with the agiel's was ... unf! I also found it really sexy how Cara started off with one of her agiel's kind of draped over her shoulder. God, those bitches are hot.

& while i'm queerer than black sunshine Richard w/o his shirt was kinda... tasty.

Craig Horner's shirtless body crosses all divides. Honestly, I'd still have taken any of the three females in the episode over him, but I do enjoy looking at his shirtless body a lot. It's visually appealing.

& the sexual tension btw her and Cara was off the charts!

Word. I honestly hope that they have fierce hate!kissing next episode. We've seen that both of them aren't above using their bodies to get leverage, and Cara clearly wanted Denna's body badly. Denna's a bit more subtle, but she was still looking at Cara like she was a juicy steak.

by the way this show is getting a lot of notice in Hollywood circles - even Steven Spielberg 'confesses' to being a fan.

Really? That's awesome. I want this show on the air for a while. But also, I'd love to see the actors getting press and getting attention so I can see them in other things. Bridget especially is just a fantastic aspect, and Tabrett I just want to see more of, lol! Craig would probably do really well in rom. com. type movies.

I got as far as Denna putting on white leather and running a brothel before I went "so when does she join the Hellfire Club?" I mean, she was LITERALLY a White Queen for a while there! It's like Denna is Evil Bitch Emma and Cara is Good Bitch Emma, while Kahlan is Jean and Richard is Scott. Bridget Regan is even a natural redhead!

They totally missed an opportunity for Denna to have a "join me and help me 'train' hench-hookers' moment with Cara. Damnit, you're not a villain unless you try to seduce someone to the Dark Side! You know the kind of seduction I mean...

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I got as far as Denna putting on white leather and running a brothel before I went "so when does she join the Hellfire Club?"

Heh! Denna has been my mental image of Emma Frost ever since she first showed up. And know that I've seen her kicking ass in white she will be my mental image of Emma forever!

I mean, she was LITERALLY a White Queen for a while there!

Glorious. The coming together of two awesome things to make an epically awesome thing.

It's like Denna is Evil Bitch Emma and Cara is Good Bitch Emma, while Kahlan is Jean and Richard is Scott.

I see it! I see it! And I love it. Though you gotta admit, Cara and Kahlan learned to care for and respect each other a lot sooner than Jean/Emma (who never did as far as I know). Of course, Cara not banging Richard has probably helped with that (though, Kahlan did manage to forgive Cara for killing her sister so ...)

They totally missed an opportunity for Denna to have a "join me and help me 'train' hench-hookers' moment with Cara.

Well, she kind of did with her comment about how a woman like Cara could make a very good living at her establishment. However, she could have pressed the case more, and put some 'tucking Cara's hair behind her ear' and 'talking in a really sexy voice close to Cara's face' into it.

And, 'oh, I need to change from my backless whorin' outfit into my literal pimp Mord'Sith outfit, hope you don't mind my casual nudity'.

It's just not the Mord'Sith without casual nudity!

Shirtless Richard: check.

Smirky, snarky Cara: check.

Cara/Denna interaction: check.

Kahlan's ninja dive: check.

Looks like you got all the important parts to me.

YES!

I missed the episode when it aired, but I'm watching it now and OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD!

*jizz*

I'm barely 15 minutes in and my panties are already on fire. Damn, Denna is fucking sexy. *drool*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

but I'm watching it now and OH. MY. FREAKING. GOD!
*jizz*

I know! This episode was like orgasmically good.

Damn, Denna is fucking sexy. *drool*

Denna is so delicious. That woman makes me want to submit to all sorts of dirty things. Jessica Marais is a dish, for reals. Unf!

[narcolepsy-slds.livejournal.com]

I squee in advance cos I haven't seen it yet.

even though I am not into blondes (usually), I actually crush on Cara, she is just so pretty, and her facial expressions are hilarious.

anyway, off to finding my car snowed in. again.

OMG! Get on that! It is amazing :D

Yeah, I usually go for brunettes over blondes as well, but this show has some amazing specimens of blonde on it. I lust after Cara all the time, and Denna turns me into a puddle of mush.

And yeah, Cara's facial expressions rule. I love that about Tabrett. She gets some classic expressions on her face.

anyway, off to finding my car snowed in. again.

Good luck! I hope it wasn't too bad. The weather has been awful here as well, but at least it hasn't snowed in a couple days.

[narcolepsy-slds.livejournal.com]

they actually named the snow/winter front/whatever 'Daisy'. and it is really bad right here at the moment. but then I am not a winter person.

still haven't watched it b/c I want to sit down, have a drink (wish I could have a smoke as well), and enjoy it properly. not just en passant watching.
so, tadaaaa. later

[crys-22.livejournal.com]

Denna and Cara's every interaction were perfect in every way.

Yes, yes, yes. I loved when Cara was leaving to go find Kahlan and Denna comes along to try and stop her. Now I can't remember exactly what Cara said, but it was something about how the girls in the brothel were to brittle for her. And we all know Denna is anything but brittle. Too bad both women had their minds set solely towards their missions.

it cracked me up when Denna looked so surprised/scared when the green spirit first came up from the under world

LOL, I was laughing too when that happened. I was thinking, 'What why so scared? You knew what was gonna happen.' Silly Denna.

Is it awful that I kind of want Cara/Denee fic now

We can be awful together, because I wants! I don't know how the Amnell sisters can withstand vulnerable, puppy dog Cara., I just don't. Although it seems as though Kahlan's starting to weaken. It's only a matter of time.

Man I love this show.

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

but it was something about how the girls in the brothel were to brittle for her

OMG! That 'too delicate for my tastes' comments made me swoon. There was this cocky look in her eyes when she said it too that just 'unf!'

And we all know Denna is anything but brittle. Too bad both women had their minds set solely towards their missions.

This! The sex between the two of them would be epic. I mean like rooms would be ruined, furniture would be broken, sheets would be ripped. It would be legendary, lol.

LOL, I was laughing too when that happened. I was thinking, 'What why so scared? You knew what was gonna happen.' Silly Denna.

Oh thank god I'm not the only one. Denna's had that 'deer caught in headlights' look on her face before and its just the best.

I don't know how the Amnell sisters can withstand vulnerable, puppy dog Cara., I just don't. Although it seems as though Kahlan's starting to weaken. It's only a matter of time.

Heh. Kahlan has so totally given into puppy!Cara though she won't admit it yet. Just like Cara totes lurves noble!Kahlan but won't admit it to her yet. And, despite Denee saying she couldn't forgive Cara, she said it gently, and looked somewhat moved by Cara's words so I think eventually we'll get forgiveness coming from Denee too. The Amnell sisters are big 'ol badass softies.

[crys-22.livejournal.com]

'too delicate for my tastes'

Aww there you go, that's what she said, thanks. Heh, Denna and delicate just don't go hand in hand. Denna should have picked up on that line and used it to her advantage. I have this funny image of everyone in the whore house screaming and running out of the joint like some serious messed up shit is going on, but it's really just Denna and Cara getting it on.

Denna's had that 'deer caught in headlights' look on her face before and its just the best.

Do you remember this other moment she had? Because it amuses me and I want to go look for it lol.

Heh. Kahlan has so totally given into puppy!Cara though she won't admit it yet. Just like Cara totes lurves noble!Kahlan but won't admit it to her yet.

Why do the women on this show have to be so stubborn? Just give in already!

The Amnell sisters are big 'ol badass softies.

LOL, I need an icon with this. It's so true. They kick ass like nobodies business, but deep down all they want is some loving and babies.

[ralst.livejournal.com]

This has to be one of my favourite episodes, even with the hammer-us-over-the-head true love shtick (if only the writers would employ subtlety the Richard/Kahlan relationship might actually be interesting).

I loved Cara's defence of Kahlan. I find it interesting that she is with Richard because he's Lord Rahl but she respects and trusts Kahlan because of her actions. Plus, you know, totally wanting to jump her bones.

Kahlan's dive was fantastic and I loved her look of 'Oh, isn't she sweet, I knew she had changed, which means it's okay to have secret lusty thoughts about her' to Cara after she'd apologised to her sister.

The Cara/Kahlan shipper in me danced merrily at this episode.

I felt a little sorry for Denee getting stuck with babysitting when you could tell she was itching to get out and kick some butt (mostly Cara's). So I hope they bring her back. Actually, they should have Denna use some magic mojo on her, then the two of them could team up against Cara and Kahlan, and we could have a Confessor/Mord'Sith dream teams grudge match.

Denna was her usual badass self and I get the feeling, now she knows Cara is travelling with them, that she'll employ some secret Mord'Sith ritual or other to turn Cara to her ways and seduce her to the white-leather side. I kind of wish they'd made Richard a little tempted by what was on offer, not to rock the Richard/Kahlan boat, but to show that he's a bit more human/feisty.

I think the Rahl boys should get to spend more time together, because they obviously have issues that need to be resolved *g*.

There's something about Richard's physique that puts me in mind of a little boy, which robs it of its power, whereas Darken Rahl's arms are rather gorgeous.

[khase-fan09.livejournal.com]

Confessor/Mord'Sith dream teams grudge match.

LIKEWUT?! HELL YES! *G*

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Greatest scenario ever!

[fembuck.livejournal.com]

if only the writers would employ subtlety the Richard/Kahlan relationship might actually be interesting

I wish they'd taken more time developing Richard/Kahlan. By like the fourth episode of the show they had this 'epic love', but it's so much more fascinating watching Cara and Kahlan slowly learn to respect each other, care for each other, and in my mind at least, lol, learn to love each other.

and I loved her look of 'Oh, isn't she sweet, I knew she had changed, which means it's okay to have secret lusty thoughts about her' to Cara after she'd apologised to her sister.


Totally! She looked so proud of Cara in that scene. But the proud that makes you then want to go and rip someone's clothes off and love them well and good until they know how much you appreciate what they did for you!

I felt a little sorry for Denee getting stuck with babysitting when you could tell she was itching to get out and kick some butt (mostly Cara's).

I didn't think Denee was too sad about. She wanted to be a mother after all. Plus, it's safer for my bb Cara with Denee in that village, lol! Denee really would have gotten in the way of Kahlan and Cara getting closer for sure. Kahlan would have been distant to make her sister feel better, and it's all about Cara/Kahlan for me!

Actually, they should have Denna use some magic mojo on her, then the two of them could team up against Cara and Kahlan, and we could have a Confessor/Mord'Sith dream teams grudge match.

Hopefully Denna will use this plan when they find her!

I kind of wish they'd made Richard a little tempted by what was on offer, not to rock the Richard/Kahlan boat, but to show that he's a bit more human/feisty.

I admit, Richard is a little bit 'too' good sometimes. But I don't mind him not being a man whore. It's kind of nice to see some characters on television who won't just hop into bed with anyone/screw their pain away. If he really doesn't want to sleep with someone who's not Kahlan, more power to him.

There's something about Richard's physique that puts me in mind of a little boy, which robs it of its power

lol! I see what you're saying. I think it's because of how compact Craig is. He hasn't widened out to what I think of as 'man width' yet, lol. Actually, when he was in that red Lord Rahl outfit, he reminded me of an anime character with his broad shoulders and narrow hips.

I also can never really find Richard intimidating because of Craig's boyishness as well. I just think its cute when he gets all forceful.

[trancer21.livejournal.com]

Oh man, it was so hard fighting the temptation to read this before I actually watched the episode. Stupid torrents taking forever!!

Cara defending Kahlan when Denna was talking about how Kahlan compromises Richard made my little heart patter.

OMG!! The loyalty both Cara and Kahlan showed to each other like made me swoon! Kahlan chose Cara OVER HER SISTER!! She was all 'like, I know she killed you and everything but me and Richard can't have sex and the *things* she can do with that agiel....'!

There's also the growing sense that Cara follows Richard out of duty but she follows Kahlan out of respect. And respect isn't something that comes easy from Kahlan. *sigh* It must be love.

Is it awful that I kind of want Cara/Denee fic now, where Cara behaves like a naughty puppy begging for forgiveness from her mistress?

I have to give it to the Casting Director for this show because I thought Bridget Regan would be the biggest find but Bethell has turned out to be just a big a find. I love how she plays Cara as this person who's broken and desperately wants to be fixed again. And how it was important that Denee know how sorry she was but she didn't expect forgiveness in return.

Heh, which is all my way of saying YES there should totally be contrite Cara/unforgiving Denee fic.. with the added bonus of spanking!

This show should have Craig Horner take his shirt off more.

That's because the Abs of Adonis completely distract attention away from the Hair of Horror!!

I don't know why she gets a new fighting costume..

Lol, it's probably because the cleaning bill for the white one was eating a huge chunk of the budget!!

[madndizzee.livejournal.com]

Ooh I can't wait til I see this episode. Looks/sounds so good. Why hello there, Tabrett's boobies. :D

[gleekitten.livejournal.com]

I really need to catch up with this series. >.< But I can't believe how different the series is from the novels (not that I'm complaining, Cara+Denna=rawr). As I recall, the books were also full of teh ghey ;) There was a Mord'sith couple who were absolutely my favourite characters. It made me quite sad when they were not included in the show. But I think the Cara/Denna action goes a long way towards making it up to me =) Great post, thanks for sharing.
