I've been watching the first season of "Legend of the Seeker" and think it's a really well-written tale.
No wonder a very good friend of mine recommended me the book by Terry Goodkind.
Of the things I have noticed so far is the moral question of the "common good vs. the individual good" that is frequently interwoven in the plot.
Indeed the Seeker deals with difficult choices in the series and to arrive at them, specifically as regards the question above - he seems to choose to neither choose between the two goods nor weigh the two against each other.
Rather, he seems to place them carefully - if not at times, to the chagrin of his companions, recklessly - in their proper context.
For the individual good must exist within the context of the common good and Justice serves which ever one is in imminent danger of an impending evil.
This is more often than not, except in times of war, calamity and wherever and whenever the government of the people is either misguided or corrupt, the individual good and so it is a good thing to see this Seeker inherently gifted to see this choice clearly even in times of great duress.
Cool series - a must see!
