Episode 19:

So it's safe to say Draka has a photographic memory, right? I wonder if that played a role elsewhere in his life, it's a significant adventage to have.

Jolana's father still being obsessed to fight heliocentrism is dumb. I wonder how he'll react when he meets his daughter. Kill her or change sides?

So it's safe to say Draka has a photographic memory, right?

Probably, or at least very good memory to the point where it more or less functions as one. She was making maps for the village etc prior.

It does have an advantage when used like this. I've heard that they can also suffer quite a bit from psychological trauma as well since it's hard to forget.

Jolana's father still being obsessed to fight heliocentrism is dumb. I wonder how he'll react when he meets his daughter. Kill her or change sides?

I doubt he'll kill her. He's not really obliged to either since his employment is all for show.

Episode 20:

That's bs! Ugh

Now there's no way Nowak will ever find out the truth, because there's no evidence of anything left. Oh man.

He'll meet the money girl one day and recognise the hood Jolenta gave her and learn of the truth that way.

This show can be half an hour of tension at times. When the OP started playing, I thought time had passed quickly and we were at the end, but it was only 7mins.

The spy dude asking all these important questions a few episodes earlier was suss then. I'm glad that it amounted to something.

I don't know who "he" is - the "he" that Draka was referring to. She should have no idea who Novak is. I'm expecting her to convince him to let her go, but all she should know is that there's a bunch of knights with maybe an inquisitor who are out to stop them. Trying to convince any of them to let her go should sound improbable unless you specifically knew that one of them was the dad of Jolenta.

------------

edit: or, I suppose, the only other person she knows in the church was the person who originally abducted her and wanted her to figure out how they'd remain rich when the church collapsed. That's not going to help immediately though.

"Is that a suggestion, captain?"
"This is an order."
"Understood"

Made me tear up. Such loyal companions, damn.

I still don't get why they're not standing together to fight. The approaching inquisitors weren't that many last time we met them and the rebels have been shown to be capable fighters.

episode 22:

Okay, am I misunderstanding something? After all this time, all these deaths, all the struggle, we're now supposed to believe that heliocentrism was only blasphemy in some narrow area within Poland? And elsewhere it was totally okay to talk about heliocentrism?

I must be misunderstanding something, because I'm pretty sure that heliocentrism was blasphemy in all of the Christian parts of the world up to a certain point in time.

What a weird "twist" to go for.

[Buffalobiian]

I'm not familiar with this part of history. All I know was that Galileo got into shit, and it went to the level of the Pope.

I have no idea if Antoni meant other places as in other Christian kingdoms, or just other kingdoms entirely.

I felt annoyed during his confrontation with Nowak. He's right of course, from a modern viewpoint, but he's still a cunt who tried to get Jolenta killed to spite Nowak.

Interestingly, in this story the way to advance science was to effectively bribe authority.

[MFauli]

My issue also is that nothing Antoni said should have changed Nowak's mind. Nowak has heard similar speeches all his life when heretics told him their stories. But this time he instantly folds? Weird.

[Buffalobiian]

His issue is his bias. He decides that heretics are liars, and that he should torture them until they fold. He doesn't actually listen to their logic.

He can't do that against a bishop who he isn't actively investigating and actually has to argue. When he has to argue, it shows that he doesn't actually understand why heliocentrism is bad aside from his employer saying it is.

In the beginning of the series he takes on a "I'm just paid to do a job" attitude and never really gave a shit about higher reasons. When his daughter was caught up heliocentrism and "died", it became personal. He then decided heliocentrism was bad because to him, this idea and its believers were responsible for corrupting/killing his daughter.

Episode 23:

I wonder who the guy is. Probably whoever received the dove?

Not sure how I feel about Draka landing a fatal hit on THE Novak, but I was positively surprised that both him AND her died. And it was kinda nice to see how both found peace in the end, despite having different believes.

When they were talking about replacing god with money, though, I didn't know who to root for anymore, lol. Capitalism is the root of so much evil today, we might have been better off with god.

The clown-award goes to Antoni, though. Last week I was like "disappointing how easily Novak let himself get persuaded by mere words". And this week showed that it, indeed, would have been out of character for him to falter that easily. Antoni was WAY too assured of his safety, wow.

[Buffalobiian]

Yeah, why the fuck would Nowak stab her then get stabbed back in reverse? I liked how Nowak's story concluded though.
