Just a thought inspired by the entry on Legend of the Seeker: I haven't seen the show, but based on what I've read of the books the "bad future" mentioned sounds like a pretty accurate description of what ended up happening. Richard killed Darken Rahl, which led to him becoming Lord Rahl, and as the series progressed he became more and more tyrant-ish, eventually becoming as bad as or worse than Darken, often spouting the same justification. Subtle Take That!, perhaps?
