This episode seemed very short and simple. I’m sure it was just as long as the others, but not much happened, so it seemed short. That’s okay, though. Simple is good.
Anyway, the ghost story thing. Couple was estranged in death, so they possess the bodies of the nearest handy living people to be reunited. Yes, this has been done before. But they did it pretty well, and I happen to have a soft spot for that sort of thing – so I really liked it. There’s really not much to say about the main plot, though.
Two things: First, isn’t it interesting how the wizards are obviously stronger than both the seeker and confessor combined? It’s as if the seeker is only important because of the prophecies. It’s an interesting concept, really. I tend to be a bit obsessed with free will, myself, and the idea that there might not be any bothers me. That said, there is a sort of romantic thrill to this idea of determinism, though – especially when it’s wrapped up in a prophecy. We know Richard is going to kill the bad guy, but does it matter how much or little of a hero he is otherwise? They need to explore this more.
Second, I loved the ending bit. “Oh, look, a tracking cloud.” “I’ll cast a simple spell to get rid of it.” There’s <i>got</i> to be more to this than that!
Much better than last week’s!
