Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt 21:31, when Countess Musgrove is holding a knife on Lorna Bow's neck, you can see "Allah" (in Arabic) written on it. Allah is the word God in Arabic.
- GoofsWhen James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy) interviews Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce) in the Tower of London, Sir Strange takes a drink from the bottle of wine on the table and refers to it as a "good hock." Hock is a German white wine (usually Riesling) bottled in tall, slender bottles almost identical to modern German Riesling bottles. The wine shown is red and the bottle is in the shape of a Madeira or Port wine bottle of that era.
- Quotes
Zilpha Geary: I'm planning to journey to heaven, James. I've realized the truth. My cage is my flesh, I can shed it. The River Thames will take me to God. Death is just the turning of a key in a lock. Whether God will accept me is another matter, perhaps my husband will have spoken of my betrayal. Or perhaps my feelings for you, unforgivable feelings for you, will mean the Thames will take me to a different place. Whatever my destination, if you survive your recklessness, please, keep some part of my soul inside your own.
But more importantly, everything up to this point gathers in your head in a way by the end, making you feel some way and also wanting the next season immediately. Five, almost six years later, and it still isn't here; so much pain.
One thing that's a little surprising is how the main cast of characters didn't get away scot-free. It always seems to be the other way around. The thing that was a little surprising was more the execution. There was a central death (!?), a serious but minor injury, and a severe one; that's some variation: well-done writing with that.
This finale of deaths happening left and right, James outsmarting everyone as he does, Jonathan Pryce killing it as Sir Stuart Strange, and the usual invigorating score and entertainment throughout the show, was quite entertaining to watch. All the leading up to and building up and the conclusion was great. And, as I said before, you want and desire more by the end.
