Featured review
Interesting change of tone and pace
After all the running around in the last episode, this one sees a change of pace as our heroes are holed up in Queen Bavmorda's abandoned, creepy stronghold while they try to cure Graydon, who was infected last week by the same corruption that turned Ballantine.
This is an opportunity to explore and develop the relationships between different configurations of characters, and see some flashbacks to events in the castle from the 1988 film as well as to find out more about new characters' and the antagonists. While there's still plenty of banter, there was a change in tone to something that if not wholly original at least was unusual and interesting. In fact, while it reminded me of something, I can't put my finger on what. Classic Doctor Who is the closest I can get, but that doesn't seem quite right!
The plot was still a bit hit and miss, and the priorities of the characters questionable even in the context of a haunted castle messing with their heads. But I thoroughly enjoyed the episode, including getting more more insight into Graydon, whom I'm finding one of the most compelling new characters, and the indications we're going to be finding out more about the enemy and what's going on with kidnapped Airk in the next episode.
