Nah! A little chocolate will do




it really shows how close Claudia is with Terry, which I was honestly afraid she was going to say something similar to what Viren had about him needing to "get a grip" but it was nice to see that she will still do "the right thing" when someone she trusts tells her to. Well, within limits, unless something changes in the next episodes, she's definitely not going to listen to Soren anymore.

I had been wondering as the season went on if Viren would have a change of heart and if that was because he wasn't performing any magic anymore, kind of an addiction sort of story. Then at the end he takes his staff and all the life gets sucked out of his face again and, welp, back to where he was before dying.

Dude's a narcissist. The addiction is calling from inside the house.

I am curious at least to see where they end up by the final season (I imagine Aaravos will ultimately stab both of them in the back once he’s finally free), a lot can happen in 27 episodes after all.

I’m not sure what’s going on with Claudia and Terry; they seem to have a very nice relationship but she’s a full blown sociopath and I can easily see her turning on a dime to use him as a battery for something that’s more important to her in the moment.

She was sympathetic enough to listen to him and give the coins back to Rayla but yeah, with Claudia becoming increasingly more unhinged and her dad now back to his old self who knows how long that’ll last

Hmm, I wonder if they're making them in 2 season batches. Even so, the writer's room needs to get things sorted out because there's too much wheel spinning for how many episodes we get each "season"

At least from the trailer it seems like some more major things will actually happen this time (plus if I remember right counting this they’ve only got 3 seasons left now so they can’t really afford to spin their wheels anymore)

Wonder which Old Wounds we will explore in episode 2. Is Aaravos finally going to quit being coy and give some more info on how he got imprisoned? Will Rayla give some more exposition on what her life was like after Viren imprisoned her parents and she was forced to live in shame?

poo poo, maybe it will just be Callum moping about how Rayla just disappeared and left him a "dear John" letter. That last one, I can't remember if they actually explored that last season, I do remember Rayla was down to return to how things were, and Callum was just like "what? no! this isn't happening"

I believe Rayla and Callum finally buried the hatchet regarding that at the end of Season 4

Haven’t watched it yet but is Season 5 at least an improvement over the previous outing?

Edit: Just started, seems ok so far though I’m not sure why Rayla can’t just tell Callum about her parents/father figure (though the fact the latter trusts her enough not to pry is good at least)

Seems like they*re all a bit more open with each other. Unless you count Viren who is completely catatonic of most of the season.
Also that dragon hiding the zombie bite.
I still like Claudia's storyline the most. Even though she doesn't have that much of an agenda.

Ah right, I’d forgotten who he was to Rayla (I could have sworn there was a subplot early on in the series about her being engaged though but I forget if that was dealt with or not). Either way, aside from Viren spending most of it in a coma and the majority of his involvement being through dream sequences (though they do provide some character development and we finally meet his former mentor) Book 5 was a big step up from the previous season in my opinion.

Just 18 episodes left to go now (though the creators have gone on record as saying they’d like to do more with the world of the show if possible)

None of the actors or writers will be promoting it due to the strikes, so I'm guessing they did the early release to make up for that lack of buzz.

As for why they're not advertising the release more, who knows.

Huh. As far as I was aware she was deaf-mute but I guess the former meant we assumed the latter.

I know she was never deaf at least (she’s shown hearing and responding to people multiple times during the series and people talk to her without the use of sign language)

they have some pretty esoteric references in this show (I remember being caught quite off-guard when they did the "anyway, here's Wonderwall" back in S3)

was definitely not expecting a Deep Space Nine reference
