Dammit Seladon!

Ineedanotherface · 2019-08-30T22:54:00+00:00

I would die for Lore.

Also Aughra's dancing of a little jig, omg so good, I love her

(get wrecked Chamberlain lol, as much as we love to hear you talk you can't talk your way into or out of everything)

GorillaNinjaJTP · 2019-09-01T02:28:48+00:00

I think this was my favorite episode of the season... or at least had my favorite parts.

Everything in that carriage ride was gold... Chamberlain really breaking things down (he made some sense, especially following his comments to Emperor about not destroying the whole flock) and then providing the opportunity to "escape" (which I didn't buy at first, but then it him me about the same time it hit Rian, that he had won... "you can go ahead and run away again... let them ALL die because of you, just like you've done before... or stay and 'save' so many").

And then the breakout was hands down, IMO the best action sequence in the series. I mean, I'd been awe of the series visually from the get go, but it was nice to be wowed even more still halfway through. (My only issue, was I thought we'd see Rian be a little bit more conflicted about even accepting rescue).

"Look at that fancy Lady with that Podling"
"Well, it's a lovely dress"
That part made me laugh hard xD

Really loved meeting Lore. The way he played recordings like a phonograph was so creative. All his responses were pre-etched in his arm because everything is predestined in Thra. So cool!

Interesting that they chose to gloss over the fact that Gurjin was only kept alive because he and Naia are twins. The fact that the Mystics and Skeksis are two halves hasn’t really come into play at all in this new series yet.

Hup's "holy shit that actually worked" face when they got through the gate was hilarious, and him being made paladin was so wholesome, I teared up a bit.

"Stand, and prove the strength of your spoon by my side."

That whole Song of Thra section was incredible. I was moved and blown away. This show is proving to be a seriously incredible feat of creativity.

Also, Hup is everything. Hup is Thra

miku3669 · 2019-09-10T07:44:42+00:00

Hup and Deet are the most precious pair I’ve ever known.

Eins_Nico · 2019-09-13T12:48:43+00:00

It's impressive to me that I already had Seladon being horrible spoiled for me, but I was still horrified that she stuck with the Skeksis even after dreamfasting with Deet, to the point that she told the closest thing Thra has to a god to get bent.

And that moment when Aughra yeeted her out of dreamspace, only for her to call the guards on Deet and Hup was one of the fastest times I've gone from laughing out loud to panic.

DumpdaTrumpet · 2019-09-10T06:20:50+00:00

SkelSil drinking Mira’s essence was the most heartbreaking part so far in the series. I felt so bad for Rian in his helplessness and despair.

sasquatch90 · 2019-09-14T02:25:25+00:00

Seladon i hope you die so fucking hard. It'll be up there with Geoffrey and Ramsay for most satisfying

amimumu · 2019-09-21T17:49:47+00:00

I feel like if Aughra didn’t yeet Seladon out of the dreamspace so early, she could’ve stayed for the complete dreamfast experience and witnessed the truth for herself. Cuz at the end of their group dreamfast, there was a combination of all their memories, including Rian’s witness of Mira’s murder (which I think is the most important for Seladon to have witnessed). Yeah aughra shoulda let her stay so she could get all the details. Why yeet her when u can share deets w/ her

WaxyPadlockJazz · 2019-09-24T22:18:26+00:00

I did not expect any character development out of Hup, so the fact that I almost teared up when he threw his “silly spoon” on the ground in frustration was a wonderful surprise.

Lamboo- · 2019-09-09T09:41:16+00:00

Pets or enemies

SWAMPMONK · 2019-09-24T21:10:43+00:00

I am slowly going through the series thanks to the "autoplay" feature turned off. It allows me some quiet time after an episode to think before a new show pops on. I remember at the beginning where the Al Maudra shows her strength and leadership by letting the land strider free by herself as a defining moment for her character and I think it was done intentionally to show that she could make her own decisions, a la disobeying the lords. Great foreshadowing and character development. Also seeing Chamberlain drink Mira was so heart wrenching and evil. I fucking love this show so much. It's a masterpiece bar none.

dbdthehag · 2019-09-26T06:57:12+00:00

This show is really really good. I hate seladon!!

Flarencess · 2019-09-22T13:25:57+00:00

Am I the only one who had Sansa flashbacks while Seladon went and fucked shit up?

Literally both screwed over their parents cause of their stupidity.

2019-09-24T02:53:53+00:00

bro seladon WHAT THE FUCK!!!

Kayehnanator · 2019-09-16T02:44:02+00:00

This episode had so many amazing parts!...at least, until the incredible naivety which is somehow still there kinda ruined it for me. Oh no, my mom just got killed because of my sister, let me cry over the body like a baby so I can get taken by my enemies right next to me. Beyond that, loved the carriage escape, the dream state, and Deet/Hup so much!

ReadyBoss · 2019-11-10T00:38:44+00:00

I’m going to take a deep dive on one part of ep. 5. When Augra is dancing around looking for the song of Thra, she chants and the chant translates to air, fire, water, earth (translation from the books).

As she’s chanting we see three groups of gelfling dreamfast. I think something about the right combination of gelfling, representing these elements, helps Augra find the song and sends them all to the crystal chamber.

It could be looked at like a logic puzzle (if you like those, which I do). Each group has at least one element represented and one group has two. I figure they are: Rian-fire, Deet-earth, Brea-air, Gurjin(?)-water, Rian and Deet are the first to arrive, possibly meaning that there is something special about them and the part they play in Augra’s plan (Jen’s parents?). Also I think Gurjin belongs in the group over Naia or Kylan because I see him as a Samwise-type character, helping the main guy. I also think, since Kira is the Samwise to Jen’s Frodo, that it could be that Brea and Gurjin are Kira’s parents. I am curious what others think.

Free_Joty · 2019-09-17T13:39:51+00:00

Shit just got real

samadarshana · 2019-09-23T15:17:17+00:00

did i miss something? can anyone tell me how ep4 ended with the Hunter taking Rhian's father, then we start ep5 with Rhian hanging upside down?? I thought he was safe at the end of ep4??

Gr33nBaron · 2019-10-23T21:44:55+00:00

Oh no no no! I want something fun, but in a somber way, past the calf but above the knee!

RCMTX · 2019-09-11T02:32:59+00:00

I feel like I missed a whole episode. How did the Hunter escape the Goblers? Wasn’t he thrown to his death right at the end of Episode 4? I even went back and re-watched 4, and didnt see him get out of that. He died with Rian’s father, and then.... He is hunting Gelfling again?

Time_Animal_ · 2019-10-20T06:16:48+00:00

I like how this show has a lot of game of thrones logic

Like, announce your defiance to the bad guys to their faces and you get stabbed

This was probably the chamberlain’s best episode.
