4R’s: Encantadia Season 2 (April 26, 2017 episode review)

Episode 201

Recap:

Requiem: The Fall of Sapiro

Emre and Cassiopeia were placed in another predicament for they were too weak to fight Ether, thankfully, Emre’s pashnea friend returned and bought them time, this gave the two the opportunity to escape by using Cassiopeia’s ivictus to reach the desert where Haliyah’s weapon was.

Everything was in ruins when Ybrahim, Wantuk and Alena got there. Dead bodies surrounded the palace, Ybrahim’s nightmare just came to life. Mayca, a survivor of the ordeal showed up with the lifeless body of Kaizan. Mayca narrated how Hagorn attacked Sapiro using the two gems to break the palace’s barriers and ambushed the Sapirian army, Mayca witnessed how Kaizan was murdered, thankfully Mayca survived but regretted not being able to save Sapiro and her sister. Ybrahim was enraged and vowed before the gods to seek revenge for his people and won’t stop until he kills Hagorn.

A mass funeral was immediately held for the deceased, Ybrahim mourned for the deaths of his people but assured everyone that he will stop at nothing until justice is served. Ybrahim and Alena went back to Lireo, the monarchs held a meeting, because of what happened, Danaya decided enough was enough, even Pirena ordered her troop to search for her own father. Danaya who apparently asked her pashnea friend to look for Hagorn’s new camp returned and has succeeded finding their enemies. The Sang’gres and Ybrahim immediately marched all the way to Hagorn’s camp, Ybrahim challenged Asval once again in a one-on-one battle where the latter was almost killed if it weren’t for his allies’ intervention. A duel between Pirena and Andora would have ensued as well if Ether didn’t come just in time to help the Etherians. Danaya was injured, thus forcing the diwatas to return to Lireo.

Hagorn celebrated that night, Ether however still hasn’t forgotten how he betrayed Avria and still don’t trust him that much, but Ether loathes the diwatas as much as Hagorn does so she will still help him win against Lireo. Knowing the diwatas were already capable of keeping up with their strengths and power, Ether came up with a plan and was about to summon someone who will be of big help to Hagorn and whom the diwatas will have a hard time defeating.

(I only included the major details since it’s the only thing that is watchable in this episode)

Rave/s: 💪🏻 Déjà vu? This kind of reminds me of Amihan’s downfall back then—oh wait, 2005, when Ybrahim found Apitong and his comrades dead, and Amihan witnessed everything. See? This is really taking the YbraMihan 2005 route! I don’t mind that much since Ybrahim needs some character development and all but narrative-wise, it’s just not up there yet. Kudos to Ruru for nailing the episode tonight and while I find the rest of the episodes incredibly…um…kind of…nothing much, Ruru’s performance is still worth the watch.

Rant/s:

😪I’m sorry but for these past few days, I was really hoping that the show is going to redeem itself from last week, turns out otherwise, I seriously am getting bored day by day as they prolong Marian’s return to the point that all of my excitements with the idea of Mine-a returning just faded like a big time bitch. I am really, really struggling to find something to rave about the episodes these past few days, but all I see are a bunch of plot holes, or fillers, or just almost nothing to rave about. We only have a month to go and if the show is really ending in May, I think it will leave a shit ton of plot holes and a really bad ending, but then again the show, despite of being at the top of the trends list is gaining more mixed (to negative) reviews than generally positive, I’m checking Twitter (and occasionally on Facebook) from time to time and the only thing that saves this show from the fans’ ire is the cast performance, other than that people just aren’t enjoying the story anymore, like I said, I feel like there’s nothing much to look forward to, Raquim and Mine-a are returning and then after that what? Same old, same old again. With all honesty you guys, this season is not giving me that much excitement than it did in book one.

🤔That scene when Emre and Cassy trying to get away from Ether is just incredibly, incredibly stupid. Why do they have to run away when they can save energy and just ride the pashnea? Kaloka! Even Emre, a god himself did not even think about it? That’s a pretty simple predicament they would have easily gotten away with without Cassiopeia using her very little amount of energy to go ivictus.

😪This is why I hate this arc. Everyone is too focused on Lireo that they haven’t really thought about the neighboring kingdoms, and while they did grant protection on Sapiro, I still feel like this shit happened because of Ybrahim’s negligence, if he wasn’t sticking around in Lireo way too much, if he didn’t depend on Mayca on keeping the palace safe, then he would have come up with a better strategy to strengthen Sapiro’s security. AND if the brilyante ng hangin was placed under his care while these useless new guardians are still fuckin’ useless, then Hagorn would have only stolen one gem, if Danaya was really smart, then the fact that someone attempted to steal the gems (earlier this season) would have triggered her immediately to disseminate the gems to the monarchs for safe keeping. And you know what really kills me? Why the hell aren’t they using Mine-a and Adhara’s staffs? Those items are incredibly powerful as well, they would have easily defeated Hagorn’s or Avria’s forces way back then if they are really using their heads. There’s just too much to rant this season, Juvila and Odessa’s return would have really hyped my energy up, but it turned to be a big disappointment, Ariana’s character development is too slow-paced as well as Pao Pao and Muyak’s. Everything is just not interesting anymore see? This is the consequence of taking such huge risk for the sake of “twist.” I still gotta say the writers did a pretty good job at shocking people with their antics BUT, the aftermath of the twist took a toll on the show so badly that they have to re-incarnate or drag some familiar faces back to the show in a desperate move to redeem the story, but still even if there are endless new characters or new faces in the story, the fact that the narrative itself is NOT giving the fans something “fresh” or “out of the box” to look forward to, no matter how much they tell the entire universe how their show is always at the top of the trends, I still don’t find it believable considering that there are more people ranting about how fucked up the story is nowadays are making the hashtag a trending topic.

Best performer/s for this episode: Ruru Madrid 🗡
