Another episode I totally loved. Tiger at the end of the last ep freed sinbad (should really have put that in the other review lol) and then he offered her a lift. It seems that she is the first one of the crew to have a really good idea in that they take on a passenger and move some cargo for money!
They take onboard a really haughty professor and a black egg.
The professor makes out its not an egg and Sinbad throws Anwar out of his cabin to make way for her to sleep there. There is a scene where he's clearing out scrolls and shes moving her stuff in.
Rina and Anwar - Seems our boy has been drawing some pics of the crew including lots of Rina.
Anwar works out that the egg isn't an egg and that freaks out the professor so she spins him some lies that its paradise. The egg is full of spores that will populate Tayer island where they are headed and transform it into a paradise.
Rina and Anwar 2 - They indulge in some mutual sulking. Anwar hiding away below deck as he has been kicked out of his room and made to feel stupid by the horrible professor and Rina as she is being ordered around to fetch things for her. Then Rina snaps that Tayer island is populated.
Anwar confronts the professor and she spins more lies and appeals to his science turning his head that she wants him to witness her creation. The egg meanwhile starts to overheat and the professor has a paddy insisting they wash it every 2 hours.
Anwar does an Anwar - He relieves Rina on watch overnight. She hands him an hourglass and reminds him not to forget to water his egg. What does he do? Falls asleep of course and in the more Rina discovers in horror its hatched.
Sinbad and the boys go below deck and discover actually theres a bad ass snake come out of it not spores. They try catch it and Gunnar gets bit.
The professor after a major hissy fit that shes been found out about the monster, spins more lies and convinces Anwar they can neutralise it. Both of them go below deck to confront the monster and then the bitch locks him down there.
Anwar does an Anwar - I totally love the character as you know but bloody hell. She's lied to you once and created an evil giant snake. Why on Earth would you trust her a second time?
Our hero rescues Anwar just in the nick of time and then the professor takes the doc hostage. But that backfires and she ends up losing her arm to her own creation. They work out its a night hunter and hatch a plan to kill it, battening down the ship.
The professor however has other idea's and amazingly finds the only unboarded up door to the lower deck and throws herself in. Anwar discovers her, works out she was actually merging her own life with the snake and Gunnar voices the chilling truth - now it has strength and intelligence. Tiger confirms this when they lower her down in the cage meaning to use her as bait to pull it up and lob its head off.
Instead they go a different route, cook working out from the professor snubbing his food earlier that shes allergic to nuts. He and rina cook up some nutty concoction that Sinbad anoints 3 arrows with. The monster breaks through the next deck and Gunnar and tiger try get it to show itself. The snake/professor toys with Anwar and drags him around under the water a bit.
Gunnar is epic - Even injured our warrior manages to lob the head off the snake and save the day!
Romantic action - Lovely conversation at the end building on the tension between Tiger and Sinbad. He asks her to stay and she tells him she knows a place that may have a map to the land of the dead.
