Despite Lydia - in a genuinely moving farewell scene - instructing Nathaniel to throw down his sword and live a life of peace, do we really think he’s going to do that? I hope not. having been maimed, but Nathaniel has lost the love of his life. If it hadn’t been for Cressida offing Lydia, Pilgrim’s attack would have been a total wash.Īlas, Cressida did get the last laugh, which means that going forwards not only is Pilgrim fuming at M.K. Even a later follow-up attack was unsuccessful Gaius and Nathaniel were able to despatch their attackers without much fuss, even if a lot of Baron Chau’s former forces had to fall on swords to accommodate them. ended up severely barbequed, and half of Pilgrim’s forces were decimated there and then. Pilgrim was left atop the wall as the whole thing was detonated by a truck bomb casually armed by Nathaniel. The sleepers were hemmed in by a fire trap and skewered with arrows. Do you mean to tell me Pilgrim had no better plan than just marching up to the front door? And obviously, since Pilgrim has awakened the sleepers and forced them into combat much too soon, against the protestations of everyone, including M.K., the fact it was a calamity was obviously intentional. The cinematography and choreography were top notch. And that siege might have been the most embarrassingly bad example of a siege I’ve seen in recent memory.

Much of “Curse of the Red Rain” revolved around Cressida’s captivity as the Widow, Lydia and Nathaniel, along with Tilda ( Ally Ioannides) and Gaius ( Lewis Tan), made plans to receive Pilgrim’s forces, Pilgrim’s forces, led by an enthusiastic but still fronting M.K.
Not content with childishly making the sky rain blood, she also staged an escape from captivity by revealing her own red-eyed version of “the gift” and shanking poor, underrated Lydia, who never quite got the opportunity to fulfill her potential as a character. It’s a shame, especially since the pair spent much of the episode planning for the future the Widow ( Emily Beecham) had already expressed a desire for the two of them to rule once Pilgrim ( Babou Ceesay) had been defeated.īut Cressida ( Lorraine Toussaint) had other plans. This show hasn’t exactly treated morality seriously recently, but one gets the sense that the curtains have closed over Lydia’s bids for power, and her burgeoning relationship with Nathaniel Moon ( Sherman Augustus), who had to tearfully watch her die.
