Okay, now you may not know this, but since the first ep, while I admired Steve for his portrayal of Rhade - I NEVER understood why he and Dylan were ever friends, especially best friends and not to mention I always thought Khalid [BOTL] would make a better best man... Khalid was more the ideal loyal Niet to me.
Anyway - this ep was fantastic! Gods, how I want to quickly write up the episode synopsis but it's sooooo time consuming. Rhade finally is a solid character, not just a few bits and pieces of Dylan's memory and there's so much to him! He finds himself as the Angel of Death in ADDB and while Tyr accuses one of their own for betraying them, Rhade gives this fantastic line about not being one of them because of how the Niets became bullies and not the living gods, warrior poets they were meant to be.
Rhade tried to do the impossible, as Harper put it, Rhade is the only person he knows who hates Niets more than he does!
In the end, Rhade knows he's fighting a losing battle to put the CW back together and knows what he must do. Sacrifice himself to allow Dylan the chance to succeed. The only person who can win over Rhade is... Rhade. History may judge him a traitor for failing, and if Dylan fails he may be judged with silence - but we know better.
I'm glad you all enjoyed the screen caps. I hope from now on to put 150 up as it's easier to work down from 550+ than to just 100 [but it does mean more work]. I can't guarantee updates as quickly as I used to, my energy is sorely lacking, but I will try. I loved this episode, but this is the only place I will talk about it.
I know I'm behind on the character pages, but I am working on them... My Christmas 'vacation' wasn't much of a vacation at all and I'm still recovering from it.
Take care everyone and thanks for being here!
Oh Meg? I doubt I'll make Gallifrey this year, but as I have a Brother in San Diego... :) Something I'll be thinking about.
