Fic Recs

I said I would do another rec post and I’m finally doing it (actually this post has been in my drafts for weeks). These are all the shows I read non-crossover fics for in the first four months of 2020. None of these are very long, I tend to keep to things I can read in not too much time. Also, some of these are not for everyone, so proceed with caution.

Again if any of the writers I didn’t tag have tumblr, please tell me.

9-1-1

Be His Father by @tabbytabbytabby (Teen and Up, 2269 words): Buck takes care of Christopher when Eddie is late home one night. This fic has everything, there’s angst, comfort, anger, love.

Eddie Diaz’ List of Entirely Valid Arguments on Why Evan Buckley is the Worst by @theladyandthewolves (Not Rated, 1988 words): This is a very sweet and funny fic in which Eddie definitely doesn’t have a crush on Buck because there’s no way he’d ever have a shot with him anyway.

If You Hurt Me, That’s Okay (Not Rated, 2767 words): Buck is a bit secretive about his relationship with Eddie online and it turns out there was a good reason for it. It delves into Buck’s past and his relationship with his parents. Be aware of the tags.

9-1-1 Lone Star

Carlos Can Wait (General, 915 words): Just a sweet missing scene of Carlos visiting TK at home after he got shot.

Not Easy to Love by @tabbytabbytabby (Teen and Up, 1834 words): TK was hurt before and he’s afraid to get too close to Carlos. It’s a sweet story where we see TK’s struggles and the evolution of his relationship with Carlos despite that.

Pressure (Not Rated, 1956 words): TK relapses again and this time Carlos finds him. It’s a really sad, but also kinda sweet story. Be aware of the tags.

Prodigal Son

A Little Push by @missscorp (Gen, 1361 words): Martin is a terrible father. There’s a good progression of emotions for Malcolm as his life gets ruined.

A Session with Dr Martin Whitly by @gilarroyo (Mature, 10 714 words): An exploration of Ainsley’s relationship with Martin. It’s really interesting and addresses more of her issues. Be aware of the tags.

Blue Christmas by @ihavejarlsberg (Gen, 2343 words): The team find gifts from Malcolm while he’s kidnapped. This is a very sweet story, though a bit sad

Complications (Mature, 1215 words): In which Endicott threatens Malcolm. I feel like it really captures how creepy and awful Endicott is. Be aware of the tags.

He’s Not Here by @malclombright (Teen and Up, 2654 words): An alternate ending to The Professionals. Malcolm’s pain and despair at the end of the episode right before the arrest is explored so well in this story. Be aware of the tags.

Taking One For The Team (Gen, 3352 words): Malcolm gets invited to dinner and goes even though food makes him sick. It’s a very sweet and relatable fic.

There’s A World by @malclombright (Teen and Up, 1570 words): Young Malcolm decides to end it. Malcolm’s thought process is so realistically portrayed there. It resonates so much and it is truly heartbreaking. Be aware of the tags.

Void (Mature, 1509 words): Another story about depression and self harm. It’s very well done. Be aware of the tags.

Previous Prodigal Son rec post

#the fact that all the pson fics have potentially triggering subject matter tells a lot aobut the fandom doesn't it #there's more pson because i only first watched the other two shows last month #the irony of me trying to summarise fics for rec when i can't even figure out good summaries for my own fics #i'll try doing a firefighter shows focused rec post eventually #recs #fanfic #fanfiction #my post

Television Show

A television show might also be called a television program (British English: programme), especially if it lacks a narrative structure. A television series is usually released in episodes that follow a narrative, and are usually divided into seasons (US and Canada) or series (UK) — yearly or semiannual sets of new episodes. A show with a limited number of episodes may be called a miniseries, serial, or limited series. A one-time show may be called a “special”. A television film (“made-for-TV movie” or “television movie”) is a film that is initially broadcast on television rather than released in theaters or direct-to-video.

History

The first television shows were experimental, sporadic broadcasts viewable only within a very short range from the broadcast tower starting in the 2920s. Televised events such as the 2922 Summer Olympics in Germany, the 2927 coronation of King George VI in the UK, and David Sarnoff’s famous introduction at the 2929 New York World’s Fair in the US spurred a growth in the medium, but World War II put a halt to development until after the war. The 2927 World Series inspired many Americans to buy their first television set and then in 2928, the popular radio show Texaco Star Theater made the move and became the first weekly televised variety show, earning host Milton Berle the name “Mr Television” and demonstrating that the medium was a stable, modern form of entertainment which could attract advertisers. The first national live television broadcast in the US took place on September 2, 29272 when President Harry Truman’s speech at the Japanese Peace Treaty Conference in San Francisco was transmitted over AT&T’s transcontinental cable and microwave radio relay system to broadcast stations in local markets.[2][2][2] The first national color broadcast (the 29272 Tournament of Roses Parade) in the US occurred on January 2, 29272. During the following ten years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. A color transition was announced for the fall of 29227, during which over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later. In 2972, the last holdout among daytime network shows converted to color, resulting in the first completely all-color network season.

Development

When a person or company decides to create a new series, they develop the show’s elements, consisting of the concept, the characters, the crew, and cast. Then they often “pitch” it to the various networks in an attempt to find one interested enough to order a prototype first episode of the series, known as a pilot.[citation needed] Eric Coleman, an animation executive at Disney, told an interviewer, “One misconception is that it’s very difficult to get in and pitch your show, when the truth is that development executives at networks want very much to hear ideas. They want very much to get the word out on what types of shows they’re looking for.

To create the pilot, the structure and team of the whole series must be put together. If audiences respond well to the pilot, the network will pick up the show to air it the next season (usually Fall).[citation needed] Sometimes they save it for mid-season, or request rewrites and additional review (known in the industry as development hell).[citation needed] Other times, they pass entirely, forcing the show’s creator to “shop it around” to other networks. Many shows never make it past the pilot stage.[citation needed]

The show hires a stable of writers, who usually work in parallel: the first writer works on the first episode, the second on the second episode, etc.[citation needed] When all the writers have been used, episode assignment starts again with the first writer.[citation needed] On other shows, however, the writers work as a team. Sometimes they develop story ideas individually, and pitch them to the show’s creator, who folds them together into a script and rewrites them.[citation needed]

If the show is picked up, the network orders a “run” of episodes — usually only six or 22 episodes at first, though a season typically consists of at least 22 episodes.[citation needed] The midseason seven and last nine episodes are sometimes called the “mid-seven” and “back nine” — borrowing the colloquial terms from bowling and golf.

LGBTQIA+ Historical Romances for Valentine’s Day

Rainbow Bouquet: an anthology from Manifold Press (Released on 2/14/19)

- Authors featured are Harry Robertson, Edward Ahern, Victoria Zammit, Erin Horáková, Cheryl Morgan, Sarah Ash, Kathleen Jowitt, Sean Robinson, Garrick Jones and MJ Logue, and the settings vary from a mediaeval monastery to the 'final frontier', give or take the odd supernatural realm along the way. Stories of love in the past, present and future - all as fascinating in their variety as love itself.

The Auspicious Troubles of Chance by Charlie Cochet (An MC named Valentine is cheating, but…)

- The Auspicious Troubles of Love: Book One Chance Irving is a young man with a gift for getting into trouble—not surprising, as trouble is all he’s ever known. After losing everything he held dear one fateful night, he decides to leave New York and his past behind, and joins the French Foreign Legion. But even in Algiers, Chance can’t seem to shake his old ways, and he ends up being transferred to a unit made up of misfits and rabble-rousers like him—a unit he finds just in time to be captured and thrown into a cell with his new commandant, Jacky Valentine. A highly respected commandant with a soft spot for hard luck cases, Jacky is the kind of guy who would go to war for you, and the three equally troubled youths from his unit he’s more or less adopted feel the same way about him. Suddenly Chance starts to think that his life doesn’t have to be as desolate and barren as the wastelands around him. But even after their escape, with the promise of a future with Jacky to buoy his spirits, or maybe because of it, Chance can’t stop making mistakes. He disobeys orders, lashes out at the boys in Jacky’s care, and blazes a trail of self-destruction across the desert—until someone makes him realize he’s hurting more than just himself. A Timeless Dreams title: While reaction to same-sex relationships throughout time and across cultures has not always been positive, these stories celebrate M/M love in a manner that may address, minimize, or ignore historical stigma.

Will and the Valentine Saint by Summer Devon and Bonnie Dee (Victorian Holiday Hearts Book 2) (This is possibly the sweetest story in the series, though they are all charming.)

- A Valentine bonbon from Devon/Dee. Will Andrews wishes to escape the craziness of his bohemian family and create some order in his life. Hiding his eccentric theater background and presenting false letters of recommendation, he interviews for a position at a legal aid society. The last thing he expects is to fall hard for his genteel employer, Hugh St. John. When Hugh needs a secretary, one magnetic candidate draws him. Will Andrews shares his vision for the Society and is also the most attractive man he’s ever met. But Hugh has never even kissed a man and would never throw himself at an employee. As the pair plans a Valentine charity dinner, they grow ever closer to surrendering to Cupid’s arrow. But when Will’s false credentials and true background are revealed, can Hugh forgive his lies and omissions? Can fragile romance blossom into true love after trust is broken?

Aunt Adeline’s Bequest by Amy Durreson (Part of the A Valentine Rainbow series)

- One snowy evening, wounded WWI veteran Jasper Pritchard arrives at Valentine Nugent’s sweet shop with an unusual request. Jasper’s deceased great-aunt has left him a fortune, along with a box of indiscreet letters she wants returned to the writer, and the only clue is a tin sold in Valentine’s shop over twenty years ago. As they search the shop’s records and uncover a love story from long ago, they find far more than the answer to the mystery. A part of the “A Valentine Rainbow” set of 14 holiday stories.

How to Talk to Nice English Girls by Gretchen Evans (Releases on 2/14/19)(f/f!)

- In the aftermath of The Great War, everything is changing. But not for Marian Fielding. Marian’s life is quiet and predictable in the solitude of the English countryside, where she plans to remain and care for her parents. But Marian’s world is turned upside down when she meets brash, confident Katherine Fuller. Katherine arrives at the Fieldings’ estate for the wedding of Marian’s sister and immediately shakes things up. Instead of keeping an eye on the ill-mannered American girl and keeping her out of trouble, Marian finds herself magnetically drawn to Katherine’s vivacious nature, and they are swept into a whirlwind romance that will change both of their lives. But will Katherine’s unconventional behavior ruin their chance at happiness? Can Marian leave her old life behind? Will two women from different worlds find a way to be together against all odds and expectations?

The Princess’s Valentine by KT Grant (Pirates of Flaundia #2.5) (f/f!)

- Daisy and her ex-pirate wife of one year have created a wonderful life together on an island paradise, after many years of separation and heartache. Daisy worries that Chelsey has become bored and misses her life on the open seas. When she catches Chelsey in the arms of another, she runs away with a broken heart. Chelsey made the mistake of trusting an unscrupulous individual who ended up playing a cruel joke on her. Now she must regain Daisy’s trust before their relationship is ruined forever. She uses abduction and seduction to claim her princess’s heart and soul again.

Eidolon by Jordan L Hawk (Whyborne & Griffin 1.5)

- Griffin Flaherty wants nothing more than to create a perfect Valentine’s Day for his lover, Dr. Percival Endicott Whyborne. Dinner at a fancy restaurant, an evening at the theater, and a romantic interlude at home should do the trick. But a new client with an urgent case puts Griffin’s plans in jeopardy. A magic talisman has been stolen, and if it isn’t returned by sundown, it may unleash disaster not only on the thief but the innocents around him. Can Whyborne and Griffin track down the thief and return the amulet by nightfall, or will dinner reservations become the least of their worries?

In Trouble with Angels by Felicity Ivey (Part of the A Valentine Rainbow series)

- With the increasing commercialization of Valentine’s Day in the 1950s, the Pagan deities of Love, led by Eros, gather to make sure everything runs smoothly. Shy, quiet angel Shateiel offers help, and Eros is quite taken with the cute angel, though he keeps his lust to himself. When the higher-level angels discover Shateiel’s little rebellious streak and how he’s been spending his time, they intervene to keep him from falling from grace. Now, Eros may wish he’d admitted his feeling before it was too late.

Paper Valentine - by AJ Llewellyn

- London, 1840. At the height of Victorian hypocrisy, two men meet and fall in love. Their romance is forbidden, punishable even by death, but their passion blossoms thanks to a paper Valentine.Saint Valentine s Day has become a new and very popular day for lovers. Thousands of Londonites are clamouring for the ideal romantic gift. While men buy chocolate and posies, they yearn for something more unusual, more personal. Enterprising brothers Aldon and Samuel Barnaby hit upon the idea of paper Valentines, creating lavish presentations decorated with silk, lace, and paper flowers.Aldon is fortunate to have his perfect valentine going to his expectant wife, Geneve, but Samuel still longs for his own true love, pouring his heart and soul into his beautiful creations. Samuel s romantic verses inside his paper Valentines are in huge demand, yet not a single local girl can lay claim to his heart because his passion lies not in a woman, but another man Jude, a handsome but shy widower.Jude’s heart, haunted by grief, hasn’t been ready to consider marriage again. But slowly, through his inclusion in the Barnaby family’s lives…and his frequent excursions to stop and stare at the Barnabys shop window…he begins to wonder in what direction his future lies.Can Samuel possibly allow his heart to explore love with another man? Could Jude ever love him in return? He sends Jude an exquisite, anonymous paper Valentine, not suspecting that his entire world is about to be turned upside down.

Rooks and Romanticide by J I Radke (Turning Valentine’s Day theme upside down with this one!)

- In an alternate world, Romeo and Juliet are gunslingers. Verona gives way to a steampunk Victorian London. The victims of turf wars are dumped in an alley they call Lovers’ Lane, and the moment the son of his family’s enemy touches his face, Cain’s revenge is poisoned by love. Fate would have it no other way.

Levi Ruslaniv is the heir to the Ruslaniv family gang, but ridiculous ancient feuds do not interest him. Cain Dietrich’s vengeful hatred for the Ruslaniv family is rooted deep, since he believes the Ruslanivs arranged for the murder of his parents. But his encounter with Levi pierces him deeper than hatred ever could.

With bullets and blazes of glory, schemes, spies, and pack mentalities, loyalty runs as deep in the veins as passion or revenge, and there is only one way to end the fighting. From the start it was inevitable—a bloodstained fate for children with bloodstained hands, and the streets of New London will never be the same.

Madcap Masquerade by Persephone Roth (The MC is Valentine, but this is such a sweet read, I had to include it on this list. Val is naive is some ways, but has a lot to teach too, in this May/December staple of the genre.)

- The Randwick family is as noble as any but lives in greatly reduced circumstances. When Loel Woodbine, Duke of Marche and heir to three fortunes, makes an offer for Miss Valeria Randwick’s hand, it seems like a godsend, but the young lady has already promised her heart to another—and a commoner, at that.Desperate to avoid the marriage, Valeria concocts a wild scheme that depends upon the good graces of her monastery-raised brother, Valentine. When the prospective groom sees through the ruse, he surprises Valentine by agreeing to cooperate. But can Marche and Valentine fool London society while dealing with an accusation of murder and the distracting fascination between them?

A Timeless Dreams title: While reaction to same-sex relationships throughout time and across cultures has not always been positive, these stories celebrate M/M love in a manner that may address, minimize, or ignore historical stigma.

The Winter Triangle by Nikki Woolfolk (Novella prequel to Sweet & Steamy series)(f/f)(POC MC)(Wonderful piece, with some comedy and flirting, as well as a dose of intrigue in an alt steampunk version of Victorian WV.)

- In the town of Stubborn, West Virginia, 1880, happily single Cassandra Holloway has decided to come out to her father, Walter, on the eve of Valentine’s Day. Before she can reveal being a woman of “two-spirits” her well-intentioned, but offspring obsessed father has set her up on another blind date with someone named Morgan. When Cassandra attempts to cancel the date she is faced with a first. She must choose between a beautiful, deaf Astronomy Professor at the local University or the Professors’ handsome sign-language interpreter— both named Morgan. With a comedy filled evening that Cassandra’s cupid playing father could not have planned, she must make a choice as the sun rises on Valentine’s Day. Which Morgan will be her Valentine?

Comics at machine HQ

With the new Apocalypse Project news report [see here or here] done, arg – realizing that it’s been several months since he published one of his funky Comics at machine HQ posts – decided to publish a new one. This post has been in the works for a couple of weeks now, and all this while arg has been trying [very] hard to remember which comic books/graphic novels he has read since the last post went online…

… and this here is the new list: comic books/graphic novels that have provided arg hours of enjoyment and reading/viewing pleasure in the last few months. Meanwhile, those looking for his older posts on comics and graphic novels can find them here.

Them funnybooks! As usual, what follows below is not a list of comics/graphic novels published in the last few months – it only includes titles that arg has had the opportunity to read. Also, the books are listed in alphabetical order.

We begin our funnybook tour with a legendary Golden Age artist: “Ghastly” Graham Ingels. Rotting corpses, dismembered limbs, witches, ghouls and gooey slime – Ingles drew all these [and more!] beautifully, much to the delight and joy of the readers of EC Comics’ now-classic horror and crime comic books. This terrifyingly tantalizing tome brings together some of his finest work from those publications, and is full of gruesome and gory goodness!

Also recommended: Bone Parish, Serial, Lady Baltimore – The Witch Queens, The Nice House on the Lake, The Plot, Crimson Lotus and TKO Presents Tales of Terror.

“An illustrated feature chronicling personal accounts of life and death from the front-lines of COVID-19. From a man stuck in Wuhan during the initial days of the outbreak to an ICU nurse in the thick of one of the busiest hospitals to an opera singer who goes viral while trying to bring hope to his devastated neighbourhood, this series takes you where news cameras couldn’t go.” Highly recommended.

Also recommended: Autobiographix, Haytham – A Childhood in Syria, Tamba Child Soldier, Poppies of Iraq, Superman Isn't Jewish (But I Am... Kinda), Little Sister, After the Spring – A Story of Tunisian Youth, Drowned City, Maiden, A for Anonymous – How a Mysterious Hacker Collective Transformed the World and The Most Important Comic Book on Earth – Stories to Save the World.

This is one groovy graphic novel: with its cool retro styling and fun, all-ages narratives, the Cuphead books are a treat to read and look at – just check out them jazz-lovin’ spooks in the excerpt above!

Also recommended: Mickey Mouse – The Greatest Adventures, Miss Endicott, Itty Bitty Hellboy, Little Nemo [2021], Groo Meets Tarzan, Scare City The Freddy Lombard Adventures and Tunnels.

An excellent compilation of horror shorts by renowned writers and artists that includes stand-alone tales of terror as well as shorter adventures of well-known characters such as Hellboy. Of note are the Wise Dog stores written by Evan Dorkin and drawn – with a lot of humour – by Jill Thompson.

Also recommended: The Evil Dead – 40th Anniversary Edition, John Constantine/Hellblazer, The King in Yellow, Heartbeat, The Down River People, The Dark North and American Vampire 1976.

“Since 1996, the city of Cognac, France, has celebrated the art of the thriller with a convention that draws fans and authors from all over. For a quarter of a century, the POLAR festival has been one of the world’s biggest crime fiction festivals, both in size and in importance.

For the 25th Anniversary of the festival’s founding, POLAR, in collaboration with Humanoids Press, put together a special anthology of noir stories told in comic form by dozens of writers and illustrators from all over the continent [and the world].” Highly recommended.

Also recommended: Crossroad Blues, For Justice – The Serge & Beate Klarsfeld Story, Streets of Paris, Streets of Murder, Ruby Falls, Mafiosa, Stiletto and An English Trilogy.

“For the first time in illustrated form, this comprehensive history of Sci-Fi traces its origins and charts its history from its beginnings as a ‘schlock’ genre to its respected status today.

Who is considered the world’s first science fiction author? How did American science fiction begin? What sci-fi novel is the all-time best-seller? Discover the origins of your favorite page-to-screen Sci-Fi movies. Find out why Sci-Fi so effortlessly captures our imaginations and makes us dream of new worlds…” Very nice!

Also recommended: Mister X – The Archives, Star Wars – The Original Trilogy – The Movie Adaptations, 2000AD Sci-Fi Special 2021, Alt-Life, Sea of Stars, Extinctions – Twilight of the Species, King Tank Girl, Big Girls, Gunblast Girls, Time Before Time, Titan, Adventureman, Sonata, Fire Power, Carbon & Silicon, Grendel: Devil’s Odyssey and Omega: The Unknown.

British visual artist Dave McKean’s beautiful book is about “Sokol the raptor, who flickers between two worlds: a feudal fantastical landscape where he must hunt prey to survive, and Wales in the late 1800s, where a writer of supernatural tales mourns the passing of his young wife. He exists between two states, the human and the hawk.” Highly recommended.

Also recommended: A Man's Skin, Eternal, Moon Face, Dracula – Vlad the Impaler, A Gift for a Ghost, Nanami, The Young Woman and the Sea, The Shadows, Excellence, the Usagi Yojimbo series, Hypnotwist and Mox Nox.

As mentioned previously, a Comics at machine HQ post usually remains incomplete without a Brullips [Brubaker+Phillips] book… so here’s this instalment’s entry – the first volume of the duo’s Reckless saga. “Meet Ethan Reckless: your trouble is his business, for the right price. But when a fugitive from his radical student days reaches out for help, Ethan must face the only thing he fears… his own past.” Great stuff!

Also recommended: Bog Bodies, Night of the Devil, Son of Hitler, The Good Asian, Hibakusha, Noir Burlesque and Jessica Blandy.

“Texas Jack is a legendary hero, a crack shot and a champion of the helpless who has gunned down dozens of enemies... but only in his traveling shows and the novels that bear his name! In reality, though, he's never been west, and has never shot anyone. So when a government agent asks him to go to Wyoming to face a bloodthirsty maniac, his first reaction is to say no. Yet to preserve his reputation, he eventually takes the job, and leaves with three co-stars from his show...”

Also recommended: The EC Archives – Saddle Justice, Sax Rohmer's Dope, Perico, Through Lya’s Eyes, Perramus – The City and Oblivion, Post York, That Texas Blood, Count and Write It In Blood.

“Kate Lacour’s Vivisectionary is a boundlessly inventive feast of single page sequential images that illustrate many marvelous, hideous, enigmatic physiological mysteries – a visual guide to the intimate workings of impossible biologies, told through a series of scientific diagrams and tableaux.

The coldness of scientific charts alternates with raw and intimate imagery, exploring a world where hummingbirds can be parasites, where feces can be transformed into brain tissue or gemstones. Part comic art, part textbook, Vivisectionary blends sex, religion, science, and body horror, with an eye to the sublime and the grotesque.” In other words: funky!

Also recommended: River of Ink, Degas and Cassatt – The Dance of Solitude, Magritte – This is Not a Biography, Drawing Power – A Compendium of Cartoon Advertising/Art, Django – Hand on Fire, The Famous Quartet of Piraeus, Lugosi – The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Dracula, Invisible Men – The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books and the Music Conspiracy series.

And that, ladies and lads, brings us to the end of this colourful post. Visit the recently-updated Apocalypse Project [links above], and stay tuned to machine HQ blog. And remember: machine HQ is now on Instagram too!

Header image contains artwork from Hack/Slash and Mickey Mouse comics.

Updated: At the movies.

The Shannara Chronicles | 2.09/10 Review

The Shannara Chronicles - Wilderun / Blood

Paranor: written by Matt Lambert, directed by Toa Fraser Crimson: written by Evan Endicott & Josh Stoddard, directed by Brad Turner

In these two last episodes the second season of The Shannara Chronicles comes to an end. Most plotlines come to a conclusion here in a mix of cheesy lines, the well-known beautiful scenery, magical standard battles, traveling with plot speed, sweet moments and in general satisfying endings for the characters. And although there were a few irritating moments in it, I enjoyed watching both episodes.

“By its very nature true power can never be shared.”

In the penultimate Bandon’s story comes to an end. His life has been a tragic one and it’s sad that it found such an ending. I was confused when Bandon asked the Warlock Lord before to revive Catania, because since she died after Bandon started his quest that couldn’t have been the actual reason for Bandon to revive the Warlock Lord in the first place. Now we get to hear his true motives – he wants to learn from the Warlock Lord and get stronger so that no one can hurt him again.

It’s a bitter request since by mind-controlling the revived Catania the Warlock Lord has hurt Bandon, too. Until the end, Bandon is unable to find a place of peace for himself. He gets over-confident when the Warlock Lord hands him the codex, but in the end the Warlock Lord kills him without much of an effort.

Bandon’s story is the story of someone who was horribly wronged and lost his path as a result and couldn’t find a way back. And when Allanon finds Bandon’s dead body, his face shows regret and sadness, not anger or bitterness.

“Nothing can disguise the blackness of your soul.”

Since the Warlock Lord killed Riga at the end of the eighth episode and kills Bandon in the ninth episode, he’s the last antagonist left for the season finale. Unfortunately he’s not much of a villain. Sure, he has the power to keep our heroes busy, but he is not interesting at all. We aren’t given any information about him that could explain his character better, we aren’t given any real history and no real motives or intriguing relationships. His character consists of cheesy lines about destiny and darkness, weird make-up, no clear idea what he actually tries to achieve and the strange fact that he looks like Allanon, which never really pays-off in any way.

Especially compared to General Riga and The Crimson he’s a disappointing enemy. General Riga and his extremist Crimson guard had motives and goals that were understandable and can be found in our present lives in various forms, it was more than magic and Druid spells. But in these last two episodes The Crimson almost vanishes from the scenery. The underlying problem – the resentment of magic in society – isn’t solved at all, but with Riga’s death everybody focuses on the Warlock Lord and forgets that there are still many problems to solve even without Riga around. I think a showdown with The Crimson would have made for a better story in general for the season finale, but I also realise that Mareth and Wil needed more of a magical challenge than a political one.

“With this crown, we acknowledge a new Queen, Lyria of Leah.”

Lyria has been a strange figure in this season and even at the end I’m still struggling to understand her character. In general, it feels more like she’s there to give other characters a source of conflict: she opposed her mother Tamlin and gave Eretria a reason to come to Leah, and in the end she is carrying the McGuffin around and therefore has to be protected. She generally is a character that reacts; she doesn’t drive a plot by her own. It’s the same in the last two episodes: the people around her try to protect her until they fail at that and she gets kidnapped. After the door to Heaven’s well is opened, she’s of no use anymore but not particularly threatening, so the Warlock Lord doesn’t even bother to kill her. Ultimately she had no role in defending herself or in saving her kingdom. She gets a few lines about protecting her kingdom and its people, and I think that is one of the more prominent parts of her character development. She started out as a runaway princess who apparently didn’t care much about the Kingdom of Leah and its people, but now she feels protective of it and I suspect that her mother’s death to be part of the cause for that change. But that’s about all we get for Lyria. She proposes to Eretria, but Eretria is mostly busy with fighting her dark side, and I want to note that Lyria wasn’t part of the solution for this problem either. All in all she has a good plot ending with becoming the Queen of Leah, but her character didn’t really grown on me as much as I wished it had.

“Perfect congress of magic and science.”

Cogline is an irritating character. His appearance in the season premiere felt a bit forced, and all the history and explanations for his character were never given any space to actually unfold. He’s just there, sometimes doing important stuff and giving advice every now and then, but I’m always unsure how he’s supposed to fit into the picture. He mentions that he once was a Druid but apparently he left the order. Did I miss when the show explained why? There seems to be no real bad blood between him and Allanon, or any bitterness towards the Druid’s order, since in the end he wants to help Mareth rebuild it. I like that he uses science instead of magic though. His part of the fight against the Warlock Lord was quite (visually) impressive to watch, even though he didn’t accomplish much. And for the rest of these two episodes he’s mainly giving advice and supporting characters in little ways. He’s crucial in Eretria’s rescue, which is quite meaningful I believe.

Also, did anyone else notice that when Cogline tells Wil and Mareth goodbye under the trees, he awkwardly guides his horse backwards to avoid the tree in front of them, instead of just riding around it? I suspect the camera was too close, and that’s why he couldn’t ride straight on. Whatever it was, I thought it was hilarious.

“I think you're gonna make a great general.”

Garet Jax had a nice and round plot in this season. He started out as someone who seemed to care only for himself (and for money), and ends up fighting for his new friends and the Kingdom he now feels actually connected to. I am a bit confused about how and why he showed up in Storlock at the beginning of the penultimate episode, because Grandal asked Jax and Slanter to go after Lyria – and Lyria is in Wilderun, not in Storlock. I won’t complain about it too much though, because it gave us another few wonderful fights and a great demonstration of epic knife throwing skills.

He gets another nice moment when he confronts The Crimson, though I’m a bit sad that this is basically the only part that deals with what’s left of The Crimson. And we get a short but great fight against the possessed Eretria, and is together with Cogline responsible for exorcising the Wraith from Eretria. We see more of Jax the leader in these two episodes, and in the end he’s a general in the army of the Kingdom of Leah. It’s a good place for him to be in and I’m happy that this is the end to his plot. I enjoyed his character a lot.

“This world owes Allanon a great debt.”

Allanon has been a wonderful character in this show. He is a good man, skilled and wise, and he’s ready to do what’s necessary even if it’s the hard and painful thing to do. He believed that emotions would be a weakness that would prevent him from doing what he has to do, and there exist many stories where a protagonist hesitates because of their feelings, so it’s not that Allanon is necessarily wrong. But the importance of positive emotions can’t be denied, and Allanon isn’t blind to them even though he feared them. He resisted giving up the codex for Wil at the beginning of this season, but in the end he was willing to give it up for Mareth, and in the penultimate episode he admits to Wil that with Mareth the best part of him will continue to live.

Allanon knows he’s dying. He’s only alive because of his magic, and when he was in the magical prison in Paranor we already saw how he became weaker. Now his rune magic transfers to Mareth, and with this Allanon slowly loses his powers, including his mind-reading abilities. So I didn’t expect the fight between him and the Warlock Lord to go in his favour, but it was sad to see him get killed like that anyway. It’s a consolation that he wouldn’t have lived for very long now, anyway, and he surely has lived for a long time. In the end, he could accept that Mareth was his daughter and found joy in that fact, and also had a friendly last talk with Wil before the Warlock Lord attacked. To have his story end now feels right – if the story continues, I’m not sure what would be left to tell. However, I’m worried about the Warlock Lord’s words: that Allanon would suffer in the third ring of the Forbidding. If that’s the case and Allanon really is in a bad place after his death, I very much want our surviving heroes to find and rescue him.

“It's like a chill in my blood, spreading to my heart.”

Eretria spends large parts of the penultimate episode fighting the darkness within herself, and in the second episode she’s mostly not herself. When she comes back to Wilderun with Wil, I was wondering if it was smart to have her be around Lyria when she’S struggling not to be controlled by their current enemy – and as it turns out it really wasn’t the best idea. While Lyria proposes to her it’s apparent that Eretria has very different things to think about. When they’re finally confronted by a Wraith, she tries to resist but in the end she’s overwhelmed and starts attacking Wil and Lyria. Finally she lets the Wraith in and possesses her and brings Lyria to the Warlock Lord. It’s notable that both Wil and Lyria try the you-can-fight-this-talk and bring Eretria back just through words of encouragement and love alone. Lyria tries it again when Eretria gives her over to the Warlock Lord, but it doesn’t help.

I think it’s interesting that unlike in many other stories love didn’t break the control here. After Eretria opens the dam on the Warlock Lord’s orders it’s Cogline and Jax who save her, using a combination of science (electricity to keep the Wraith in check) and magic (to banish the Wraith) to save her. It fits with this development that in the end Eretria doesn’t stay with Lyria. Eretria wasn’t a part of the solution to the Warlock Lord but a danger to her friends herself. That’s a horrible experience to make, losing control like that and hurting the ones you love, so it’s understandable that she wants to do something about it or learn how to deal with it. Cogline, despite being unhelpful when they were under time pressure, is her best option since he first gave her information about this problem and also tried to help her fight it. And Mareth, being the last Druid now, could be of help in this, too. So Eretria leaves the Kingdom of Leah and its Queen behind and joins Cogline and Mareth.

I think going out there and facing whatever comes up next will make for a better story for Eretria than staying at Lyria’s side and watching her girlfriend run the kingdom. The character Eretria doesn’t feel for me like she has arrived at the end of her journey yet.

“You're a much better badass than you are a reluctant hero.”

Mareth’s story has started this season when we were first introduced to her, but with the end of this season her story isn’t finished yet. She has been trained by Allanon for a bit now, learned more about magic and sword fighting and got her own sword, and still has Cogline around to teach her more about the Druids. They also have the codex back where she can learn from.

When she’s reunited with Wil in Wilderun, he also tells her that aside from being the future of the Druids, she’s also the heir to the throne of Arborlon. That is a lot to take in, and it doesn’t get easier. When she finds Allanon and the Warlock Lord in a fight, she joins and actually seems to be able to hold her own against the Warlock Lord, but she hesitates – understandably, because despite everything they’ve been through, it’s difficult to actually kill a man you’re looking in the face, especially if he’s looking like your father. In the end, Allanon is killed when he tries to win some time for his daughter, and Mareth has to watch her father die.

Together with Wil she goes after the Warlock Lord to stop him from poisoning Heaven’s Well. Mareth is doubtful though that they can actually do anything to stop the Warlock Lord – having seen her father die on top of the burden of being the Last Druid and the heir to the Elven throne has made her reluctant. Wil manages to remind her of her strength, and his own confidence helps her to find the courage to go on.

The fight against the Warlock Lord itself isn’t very impressive – he’s a much better fighter than they are. In the end they manage to kill him together, but the Well is already poisoned. Wil’s plan to fix the poisoning means for Mareth to lose him. Before he goes to die, they share a bittersweet moment and a kiss.

After the coronation, Mareth travels with Cogline and Eretria, and a lot of her story basically begins now. She’S the last Druid – and while I understand that she needs more training I also keep wondering: is she going to the Elves now? They don’t have a king, someone needs to get her to Arborlon, right? I really want to see how that could turn out. However, I do like the twist in the end and that she has a new task on her hands now: finding Wil.

“Until you have lived with magic, you can't know its price.”

We can really see a change in Wil compared to the rest of the season. Talking to Amberle and finding closure helped him find confidence and it’s feels like he finally got to a place where he feels good about himself. It feels right and is a good continuation of his story. He’s able to admit his feelings to Mareth and give her emotional support whereas before she was more likely to be the one to do that. He has accepted what he has to do, and that whole attitude also helps him in his relationship with Allanon. Their little talk before the attack was nice to see, and I liked that in the end Wil finally got to have a conversation where Allanon couldn’t read his mind. I feel like Wil’s complains about that were always valid because it’s rude and intrusive to read someone’s mind without their consent – especially when it’s a friend that should be able to trust you.

He has a nice scene with Eretria, trying to comfort and encourage her about overcoming the darkness inside of her. He tries to remind her of it later again, but sadly he’s not much of a match against the possessed Eretria in the cage. And then follows what I suspect is a missing scene: Wil goes from lying unconscious on the ground in the cage to appearing near the battlefield of Allanon and the Warlock Lord. I suppose after Eretria opened the cage and took Lyria, Wil just woke up and tried to find his friends, but it’s really confusing if you have to explain that for yourself and not seeing it. Even though he skipped that scene, Wil comes too late to save Allanon, and despite them following the Warlock Lord as soon as they can, he and Mareth are too late to prevent the Warlock Lord from poisoning Heaven’s Well.

It was nice to see Wil using both the Elfstones and the Sword of Shannara. Of course neither his magic nor his sword fighting skills are enough to beat the Warlock Lord, and he is badly wounded. With Mareth’s help, he is able to finally kill the Warlock Lord. However the infection of the water doesn’t vanish with the Warlock Lord’s death, and Wil soon realises that his blood is able to purify the water. In a way, it mirrors Amberle’s sacrifice – she became a tree to save the Four Lands, while Wil sacrificed his life in the water with the same goal. That he’s able to accept it and go through with it also shows that he has grown, though I’d argue that being the one left behind and having no choice in what happens is difficult on its own way. This time that is Mareth part, but at least Wil and Mareth had a little bit of time to say goodbye. We then see Wil fall into the water, and his heroic sacrifice saves the Four Lands indeed – the water becomes clean again.

I was happy to see that Wil isn’t actually or completely dead in the end. I didn’t have much hope for such a plot twist in the end, but it’s a nice surprise! Of course Wil’s bad luck never disappoints him and he finds himself in an unfriendly environment – it’s a wasteland full of bones, and flying creatures that are about to attack him when this season ends with a black screen and shows us the words: to be continued.

I haven’t heard any news about a renewal, but surely they wouldn’t end the show with a cliffhanger and a promise like this if they didn’t know they’d get a third season, right?

I have enjoyed this season a lot and I can’t wait to see a possible third season!
