Some lovely character interaction in this ep. For once our hero's are not starving and at the beginning of this ep are relaxed, carefree and having some fun drinking in a bar. Rina is hilariously trying to give Anwar a tatoo.
Theres a lovely conversation as to why he wants the tatoo and then Nala asked Gunnar about his. The big man totally lies and makes out its a farming tatoo to bless and bring on success in sheep breeding. The group all laugh and Anwar asks Rina not to give him one of those. The writers have to be setting these two up as the looks between them
was just brilliant. Just one little snag and we will get to that later
Anwar - bless him either can't take the pain or has had too much alcohol and needs air. Much to amusement of the rest he runs off. There is a funny shot of him stood next to a donkey and you can clearly see that somethings going through his mind at that point as he trys to psyche himself up to go back. Then he see's 4 guards wandering round with a drawing of Sinbad.
He returns and trys to warn them. At first they all think he is trying to get out of the Tatoo but then they see them and realise they are from Basra. They hatch a plan, after Gunnar quite epically turns into some yoda type and convinces Sinbad who wants to confront them to run and bottle his anger. The distraction was brilliant and my inner fan girl was screaming with delight.
Rina and Anwar - This week to get Sinbad past the guards Nala and Rina pretend to fight over Anwar. Rina yells at him for kissing Nala. Nala pushes past Rina and says he's mine now and plants one on him. Then Rina pushes her away and plants one really long kiss on him then tells him hilariously not to get any ideas lover boy. How can you not after that???
Gunnar and Sinbad escape and the rest are to meet them later sailing round the cape. However when Anwar, Rina and Nala get back to the ship their are guards already on there and Taryn waiting. Quue them getting tied up. It seems every ep they get jailed or something haha.
Taryn seperates Anwar and realising his crush on Rina threatens to kill everyone if he doesn't talk. So he does.
Anwar does and Anwar - Okay I know I love ya and you were under threat of death but really . . . . did you have to mention the curse. You had given Taryn enough!
The sorcerous starts going through their provisions looking for something of Sinbads and dum . . . dum dum shockingly finds Rina has been keeping a lock of Sinbads hair. WHYYYYYYYYY Writers!!! Oh well she will wise up and realise the hunky doc is who she is meant to be with.
Gunnar is epic - Meanwhile Gunnar and Sinbad get attacked by some ninja types. Our warrior puts up a good fight but its not good enough and then in a surprise twist they take the norseman and leave our hero passed out.
Big bad - Taryn meanwhile does some freaky magic ritual with sand and Sinbads hair and creates a monster who wouldn't look out of place as Community's human being.
Anwar and co get locked up downstairs. Rina berates him for giving Taryn information. He berates her for fondly keeping a lock of Sinbad's hair also maintaining he did what he had to do to save their lives. Rina manages to free herself - nice skills theres and unlocks the cage letting them out.
Sinbad wakes up and goes after Gunnar. He finds him captured by the ninja dudes who are wanting to kill him for his past viking stuff. Anyhoo he manages to convince the ninja boss to give him a chance to redeem himself as they discover the monster is after Sinbad.
Back on the ship the rest hatch a plan to stop Taryn involving Rina covered in red making out to the guards that the creature is back. She and Nala wake up Taryn from her trance and they discover now theres no way to control the monster.
However Gunnar is epic once more- when the creature catches up with him and Sinbad he makes another lovely yoda speech about letting go as its feeding off his anger. In a far to easy in my eyes finish Sinbad practically counts to 10, slows his breathing and the monster falls back into sand again.
They return and Sinbad releases Taryn who has a vision when he helps her up of a blond girl and flashes of Sinbad going somewhere. You know that will be important later!
