As soon as last night's episode of "Legend Of The Seeker" started, I knew I'd be let down by it. Richard "wakes up" back home and none of the events of the series so far have happened to him, but he remembers them all. A cliche that's been overused in sci-fi and fantasy. I knew instantly that this would be a completely self-contained episode that would do nothing to further either character development or the overall story of the show.
Even worse, I soon discovered that, in an effort to convince his "dream world" friends of his adventures, he began sitting down with them and recounting all that he has done so far. That's right... roll the clip!
On the off chance that something new happened between "flashbacks", I stayed in front of the TV for the entire episode, but spent much of my time reading comics. Granted this episode was going head to head with the Oscars and didn't have much hope for viewers, but come on... a clip show?

I acatually had high hopes for this episode ... like maybe they were going to wipe the entire season clean with the Chainfire spell and then start over, ACTUALLY FOLLOWING THE BOOKS THIS TIME!
