Wu: “I suppose this is how Alice felt falling down
the rabbit hole.”
What the hell kind of hell
was that?
So the ‘other place’ is like an another dimension (hell-ish or
heaven-ish, depending on context) that co-exists with this one. By this one I
mean our real world populated by Wesen. Yes, I did say it. And it’s like
Schrodinger's Cat – unless you open the box, both realities exist
simultaneously. That was a very intriguing beginning….
And then…. They sort of blew it…. So the Big Thing that is coming, the
‘oh, so important’ prophecy was all about this devil wanting a bride??? And he
wants to make hundred children with her??? Come on!!! The amount of question
marks and exclamation points is not an exaggeration. This was the most
ridiculous thing they could’ve come up with and very anticlimactic. Oh, well…..
Of course Diana is that bride, only I don’t feel the danger, like at all.
Although the groom has some magic tricks up his burnt skin (or probably just a
magic stick of his own) I still think Diana is the only one powerful enough who
can actually kill this groom to be.
As predicted in my last review Sean is back, since he (well, his Russian
friend) delivered the big reveal clue. His reintroduction into a group
felt oddly unsatisfying considering, quoting Monroe ‘all the backstabbing that's gone on, literally
and figuratively’. I was glad to see him back but it had a bitter taste to it. Anyhow,
now everyone is on the same page, working together and trying to stop this
wedding from hell from happening.
Part of me is still sure that the best thing they could have done from
stopping it was never ever give the skull dude a way out, as predicted in the
previous review. Sean’s friend said ‘when you open the box the other dimension
gets closed off’. Only it didn’t close off, right? Not yet anyway. Will one
reality close off when Diana crosses over or when the groom does? Still not
clear on that part. Which world will survive? Judging by the druids-like
ensemble of stones in the other place that is where the ceremony was meant to
take place. If that’s so, then all they had to do was to never let Diana to
crossover. She couldn’t have done it alone, since she is not a Hexenbiest. So,
just lock the stick and throw away the keys. No need for any of this. This huge
lack of logic is confusing the hell out of me.
I was also not the fan of the idea of Nick and Eve traveling the hell
land together…. But it wasn’t that painful. I finally realized what was driving
Nick, it wasn’t lost love, well that too, but most of all it was guilt. I never
thought he blamed himself for everything that happened to Juliette. Eve was
kind enough to explain, by specifically setting her and Juliette apart.
Juliette is gone and Eve blames her for what she did. Eve is a person of her
own. Their moment at the end ended up being my favorite in the episode… it was
surprisingly very touching. It also felt like a closure that both desperately
needed.
It also felt like a good bye. Since she said that maybe that was her
faith, that it was mean to be, that her meeting Nick led to this exact moment;
and that she has a purpose. I feel we’re going into a sacrificial death full
speed. I’m willing to bet she will end up saving Nick and atoning for Juliette
killing his mother.
Some observations
Episode’s opening quote was from The Tempest by William Shakespeare : “Hell is empty and all the
devils are here”.
The symbols on the sky perfectly aligned with the symbols on the drawing
– it must be THE wedding day.
Monroe will not be happy once he learns Nick eat a Blutbaden.
Memorable Quotes:
Eve: “How
do you say, "I'm a vegetarian" in German?”
Sol’s rating: since this is a two-parter and
this episode’s goal was basically to set things up, it delivered, so 3.5 all
things considered.
