I mean she got two hits and then the t. rex went on to kill the other 3/4 of everyone she knows and loves so idk how much damage she really did before eating poo poo.

important this to remember is these guys came from Fight Dinosaur Island where they kill a herd of giant monsters every other day so dork with an axe doesn't really mean much

Goddamn, when the mist rolled in, I expected them to make an escape, not finish off their entire society!

The next episode description sounds nuts, and after seeing the “preview” I wish I hadn’t read it so I could be completely surprised.

Maybe the next episode will be a happy one, given the ending: Fang, Spear and Mira having a nice boating voyage for 22 minutes! They see a nice sunset and some cool fish! Fang eats another roasted sweet potato! And no big heartbreaking cliffhanger before the hiatus!

It ...could be that, right? Maybe?

His wife did some real damage on Fang before she died so the implication is that this father/son duo is gonna be a real challenge.

I could really tell the gender of that child. Also they had a really small face.

I just assumed the kid was the king's (whatever vikings rulers were called) daughter since they didn't have a ZZ top beard going on.

I think it's chieftain.
Of course, they might call him shogun for all we know of that universe.

The credits say "chieftan". Since that is not a word, I guess he's the chieftain named Chieftan.

In viking societies this would be called a Jarl, but then again, who knows how this world works specifically

dunno why spear would be afraid of two people when he wiped out all their poo poo in the course of a night

It's a fool's errand to predict where this show is going sometimes, but I'm wondering if they are going to show those two doing badass poo poo on their way to finding Spear and Fang and Mira.

Holy poo poo what an episode. I kept on having to remind myself they are slavers and I shouldn't feel bad. They do a drat good job of still wanting to feel for them in the second half.

I didn't expect Spear to kill a child though. I figured they would show he was only knocked unconscious but I should have known better. I look forward to the next episode to see if it haunts them.

gently caress this show is good.

They teased it like "ok we're going to be like any other show and he'll pull his punches and not kill a child/dog/defenseless maiden/whatever trope", and then BANG. Yeah that's Primal for you


Anyway I spent a good 3+ seconds thinking about "ok what year is this supposed to be then" and then told myself to shut the gently caress up

I like how in the last episode Rikke's hair was so detailed and pretty. like, you get a good idea of what's going on in the lead slave trader's head when he sees his wife dead body.

pretty good show imo

Yeah, now I know there are more episodes in season 1 I've been going through them, Plague Of Madness was the last one I watched. It was good see Fang and Spear go up against something they just couldn't stab or bite to death.

I was expecting the boat they put together to gain more and more animal pieces after they added the turtle shell - those pterodactyl-like creatures being a sail, etc - ala Tor making that one dinosaur into a hang glider.

Also, they ought to turn this one bumper into a full episode. Tartakovsky likely has no interest in revisiting stuff he's already done, but~

Edit: also, yes, I am down with William Tyrannosaurus Sherman. The Scorpion Slavers/Vikings didn't even seem to have any reason to take those people as slaves, no agriculture ala the Atlantic Slave Trade, etc. Largely seemed to be doing it just to be assholes, gently caress them.

The VIkings were probably middlemen in a larger slave trade network.

I'm going off of the preview teaser for the season , spoilers if you care about that thing, There's a short shot of the kind of Giant Under the Mountain figure that Mira drew in her story and she implied that the slaves were taken to whatever it is. I assumed they were enslaving people and trading them/sacrifing them to whatever is going on there. There's also a more proper Bronze Age looking city coming up, I think. I assume we're going to run our way up the slave trading chain.

For a second I thought they were going to have Mira be afraid of Spear after watching him go shithouse on those slavers, but then she ended up murking a bear and lopping a dude’s head off.

I also thought the mist was going to do something like reanimate the dead or melt their skin off or something, but I did not expect them to kill the entire village. All those little slaver babies

After going through the last half of Season 1 I have to say Coven of the Damned is my favorite episode of the series. It's really crazy how good this show is at portraying emotion and motivations without even really any dialogue.

Season 2 is incredibly powerful so far

A classic style ep about surviving an insanely hostile environment

An ep about how Spear is too wild to exist in civilisation, and Fang is too civilised to exist in the wild

An ep about Spear struggling to understand a larger world

And an ep about violence perpetuating itself

Plus proto norsemen riding dire bears, hot jumping tamales, folks

Right, so this post reminds me. Mira handled herself very well in the fight in the village. I wonder if she was a soldier or something being enslaved.

Well, that was different!

On the one hand, I'm not a huge fan of being taken away from Spear and Fang, but on the other hand it was still a good episode so I'm not sure how to feel about it.

My theory for this episode is that the hulking cannibal dude was under some kind of influence of the big bad Minotaur, basing this entirely on his chest tattoo. Maybe there's a cult that worships him in later centuries, maybe he's something more ethereal and needs a host to attach to, either way it'll make sense when Spear and Fang meet them in the Hyborian age

Well that was completely unexpected. I was still completely enthralled with it though. I'm really looking forward to finding out how it fits into the series in a leter episode. Even if it doesn't it was the usual suspense and violence of a Primal episode.

Also how the guy killed the psycho looked eerily familiar to how Spear killed a T-Rex in the first episode while defending Fang's kids.

I'll admit I laughed when the guy picked up a big rear end bone and charged the psycho. Felt very "Dawn of Man".
