Instead of seeking the truth of the matter, and tricking Rahl, Rahl just died by accident. Richard also never defeated Rahl, or really did much of anything to help his growth as a character (and leader). Suppose this way, they can keep them together rather than constantly kidnapping Richard or Kahlan to prevent them from being together. Looked like they were going to include that as part of the finale, but they just dropped it out again, staying with the status quo. Which also took away a couple other big points: Richard hasn't figured out how to be with Kahlan yet. Suppose it doesn't really matter, though, as the whole point was to get the Boxes of Orden (again), and they appear to have been destroyed by Darken Rahl's bad luck. ![]() We've already played the "multiple copies of the Book of Counted Shadows" game. The Sisters of Dark also were supposed to come out of that. ![]() They're no longer from the Old World, no experience with Jajang, and seem pretty unlikely to be kidnapping Richard in the near future. Sisters of Light, major players in the series, have already been pretty much burned up in a one-off reference. The plague storyline was taken from the same book and used for an episode here. ![]() Rahl as his father (and also his evil half brother) doesn't work as well if Darken Rahl is his brother, as it makes the new brother "just another evil half brother". They've already burned so many plot points that ended up being major themes in later books. Not sure how much they CAN follow the books now, though.
