Sibeth predictably refuses to take this lying down, and kills Paris when the latter comes to her cell at the episode’s end. After she confirms that Kofun is the father of her child, Maghra tells her sister that they will take away the baby as soon as it is born so that they will never know their true mother. They tell Tamacti Jun that this will not stand, setting up an eerie conflict that will no doubt play a large role in the upcoming season.įinally, the episode winds down by returning to Queen Sibeth, now a prisoner. Predictably, some of the soldiers are philosophically opposed to the idea of no longer hunting witches, and many of them defect. They are to be led by Tamacti Jun – no longer as Witchhunter general, but now as High General of the Queen’s Army. In a bold declaration, she abolishes the witch hunters and instead institutes the Royal Guard. With the war against Trivantes seemingly finally behind them, the family reunites at Pennsa where Maghra begins her proper reign as the Queen of her people. The weight of this has been somewhat diluted by having so many other encounters along the way, but Edo’s ultimate death affects Baba deeply, and it’s hard not to be moved at least a little bit when it happens.
Daredevil season 1 finale recap booku tv#
Despite them sharing a final kiss, it’s a decidedly somber moment for those invested in their relationship.Īfter the battle ends with perhaps one of the most inventive set pieces I’ve seen executed in a TV show, Edo and Baba Voss finally get their final confrontation. After the chaos of the battle is concluded, they finally get a moment to consider a life together, but Wren reaffirms her loyalty to her own people and thus decides for good that she can’t be with Haniwa. In one poignant scene, Haniwa has a clear shot at finishing Wren on the battlefield, but can’t bring herself to do it. Baba Voss’s style of blind brutality was on display as always, but we also saw great moments from Haniwa’s archery, to Kofun’s new hand-to-hand proficiency, Toad’s swordplay etc.īut there was still time for meaningful character moments along the way. The deaths are as incredibly gory and graphic as you’d expect them to be by now, but the most impressive element was how good a showpiece this sequence was for every person in the main cast of characters. As someone who wasn’t always engaged by the particularly brutal battle scenes from this season, I couldn’t help but lean forward for this clash, which takes up about half of the episode’s run time. The final battle between Trivantes and the monarchy – a long awaited moment for those following the season – delivered in just about every way. True to form, Baba does his best Henry V impression and gives a pre-battle speech for the ages that sets off one of the most ambitious set pieces on television this year.
Just when it looks completely hopeless for Baba Voss and company, they receive some unexpected reinforcements: the hidden tribes led by the likes of Paris and Bow Lion, a welcome sight after such a long absence. Listen to the latest episode of the AIPT Television podcast!
