An argument could be made that the Creator might not be the source of Shota's visions. Absolutely. Although I do wonder what other prophecies were on the Creator's Wall in the Palace of the Prophets...and if some of those prophecies appeared 3000 years ago, like "If the Son of Brennidon should seek the Stone..." etc, then why didn't the people of 3000 years ago assume it applied to them? (Or was that before there was a Brennidon? Or were all the Creator's prophecies there already, except for the one about the Mother Confessor's pure heart?)
Zedd's war crimes - What about all the innocent monks he murdered in cold blood in "Vengeance"? - just because they had sheltered Panis Rahl for many years. Zedd expressed no remorse whatsoever about that. Oh, I completely agree. Sheltering Panis hardly made them as evil as he was, and Zedd seemed to forgive Panis by the end of the episode, anyway. If even Panis deserved forgiveness (which is up for debate), why not those poor monks? I feel it's another case of disregard for the little people. Like all the D'Haran soldiers and Sisters of the Dark, those monks were red shirts, so we're not supposed to examine their deaths too closely.
