As in the title, SPOILERS OF EPISODE 2 AHEAD (and probably Book One Spoilers)
Disclaimer: I haven't read past Book 2 yet so please keep that in mind when commenting here.
So... some notable things I noticed in this episode:
Peet shows up early. I kinda like that Peet finally had more than .2 seconds of screen time. The Igibys also got to see that this crazy man is in the dangerous woods. Also, Peet protecting Janner? I LOVED THAT! He's doing his job as Throne Warden, even if it was a small thing. He DUNKED that bat creature.
Zouzab is NOISY. But thankfully, his fruit addiction made him quickly move on. Honestly, this way makes sense for Tink to accidentally steal the map and I'm here for it.
As for the end... A strange woman waltzed in and took a seat on a throne... I sense a massive spoiler to the Books and I'm not here for that. I didn't expect to encounter spoilers for later on in the books in a series where they're supposed to be retelling Book One. I mean, I'll still watch the series but... I wish it wasn't there yet since I'm not done reading the series!
I didn't make a noticeable appearance in this episode (sad) but I'm sure they'll reuse the same assets in the future so I'm not worried!
I heard the thwaps make a guinea pig squeal noise!!! I was happy to hear it, as I have three guinea pigs and speak fluent guinea pig.
Anyways, what are your guyses thoughts? I'm excited to hear them!
Where are you in the book?
I definitely enjoyed episode two. I hope the show stays relatively true to the book in how certain scenes play out, but they are doing a phenomenal job telling the story. My favorite scene (at least on the first watch😉) was probably the scene with Oscar driving the carriage to collect weapons from dugtown from Gammon and the other people. (that was Gammon, right??) I thought this scene was cool since it showed how Oscar got the weapons for Anklejelly, even though it didn't explain this in the book. My only complaint is probably how the zibzy game took up a big chunk of the episode, when other things could've been explored. But I get this is supposed to keep younger kids' attention, so not really an issue.
That woman is a book 2 spoiler. (Hint: that wasn't Nurgabog) Tell your friend she needs to read faster so the show doesn't spoil the story for you!
I really loved the zibzy game and the accurate portrayal of children after being locked in their house for two weeks. Not sure that's an accurate portrayal of a mom after being locked in a house with those kids for the same two weeks, but she's the mom I want to be. And I now fear that I will never be able to set up a perfect game of zibzy for my kids to play in the back yard!
So what did the thwaps say? And as for #3 you'll find out before the end of Book 2.
So if you can speak guinea pig then can you understand Thwaps?
