SIDRISS
-
Well, I have to admit to having a soft spot for Sidriss. (I have a soft spot for Series 6 in general) I mock her constantly, but I do like her. I like how she's always so enthusiastic and keen to help, but more often than not just arses things up. She's similar to Gretel, only minus being completely obnoxious with a voice so shrill that it could shatter glass.
Plus I really like her as a foil to Hordriss. So, we have one wise, powerful sorceror whose daughter just happens to be a complete twit. Sorta taks the wind out of his sails a bit really. And it explains why Sidriss suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Hordriss had her locked in a cupboard somewhere so she wouldn't embarrass him.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. As a foil to Hordriss she's fantastic, and really helps give more life to his character too. Obviously that relies somewhat on him actually being somewhat powerful, and not as dumb as her in getting constantly tricked and such, not that I'm thinking of Series 7 in particular, or anything.
I love the cupboard explanation, too.

I see where you're coming from (deliberate double entendre there!), but it's a different kind of stupidity.
With Sidriss, she's aware that she's always getting it wrong and that she's not very smart, so athough she's daft, she's got a kind of wisdom. Jordan's just thick and shows no sign whatsoever of realising it.
