Trivia

Last persimmon of the season, "Any persimmon you can eat without getting juice on your chin isn't worth eating in the first place". There are many persimmon varieties and most are late season fruits, ripening in October or November after all the leaves have fallen. The inedible unripe fruit is firm and so full of tannins folks could use them to tan leather. The ripe fruit is tannin free and sweetly succulent. The Latin genus name, Diospyros, means 'fruit of the gods'.

Quotes

Richard Cypher: Girls?
Cara Mason: Hmm. Half a dozen of them, hanging all over him. And then he disappeared. I've been searching for him all night.

User Reviews

Wizard of the first order

Zedd eats a poisoned fruit and forgets all about the team, running away and leaving Richard and the others behind. It is all the fault of the witch Shota, who wants to find a new Seeker to fight against the Keeper. But things don't go as she intended and a young Zedd runs amok wreaking havoc and believing he is unstoppable. Richard will have to stop him from making a horrible mistake.

This episode of the "Legend of the Seeker" starts a little bit slow and seems to be just filling time, but when Zedd becomes young again and runs away from Shota it becomes quite interesting and funny. It is a failure of the show, though, that it keeps making similar situations happen so close one to the other: Richard is confessed and changes behaviour, Zedd is poisoned and changes behaviour... It is probably the weakest in the plot department of all the episodes of this second season, but it still has lots of funny moments and the acting is a step up from the last episodes. Not great but good enough.
