    Not exactly perfect but still a very good episode in the first half

    Having not read the books, I've watched the first season of this show. The first and third episodes were good and while not in the same league episode 2 had some improvements.

    Episode 4 has the same problems as the last three. It does have the same standard fantasy cliches and the script could've used some fixing in some moments like the forced love triangle that could've been developed more.

    However, there are still some things to like. Many Bennett and John Rhy Davies continue to impress and most importantly, the rest of the actors including the actor who played Will Ohmsford have been getting better with confidence. The production design is stylish and gorgeous, the CGI continues to be better, and the music score continues to be good as did the atmospheric moments this episode had.

    Overall, not a classic episode but still very good though it still has a long way to go. :)

      Wil Ohmsford: If you have doubts that Eretria did it why didn't you tell her?

      Allanon: For the same reason you didn't tell her that you slept with the Rover-girl. It does not serve our mission.

      Wil Ohmsford: You seriously have to stop with the mind-reading!
