Episode 11 - Solstice

I felt the plot of this episode was a bit rotten. In a way that suggested they wanted to conclude the Lidia-Octavia matter promptly and with style but everything else was thrown in haphazardly just to serve that end. First of all: Why didn't Octavia tell she met the soldiers and what it was all about? And secondly what exactly changed in this battle compared to the previous one to make the Gael victorious? Although we didn't actually see the battle this time, but I reckon it's safe to assume Arawn's side won.

Well, at least, looking at the mushrooms, it's easy to guess why they have such a name. No doubt you will see many phantoms after eating them - if you avoid the fate of becoming one yourself.

Lidia and Octavia's past and present were nice enough, though, I admit that. Much more interesting than I'd have imagined.
