Sinbad Ep 6

Our hero meets a siren.

The ship gets attacked queue Sinbad getting to dive beautifully overboard to check out the damage. Thank you writers - I am not getting tired of any Sinbad in the water shots :)

He gets washed up on shore complete with 4 scratches down his chest. Then our hero meets the rather gorgeous Roisin played by Georgia King.

He falls hook line and sinker for her. She meanwhile is stealing all his memories. Nala and Gunnar row over to the island and try to bring him back. Nala seems jealous. Sinbad insists he wants to stay so Nala gives him to sunrise to return back to them and the ship.

Gunner is Epic - Not so much fighting this ep but mention of this hilarious line:

Sinbad: “One night. One night where I don’t feel like me. You understand that, Gunnar, right?”
Gunnar: “You might want to write poetry. Life’s a bitch when you’re cursed.”

Romantic Action -  Sinbad and Roisin get it on. No surprises there. In the morning when the curse kicks in the siren removes all memory of his grandmother and it neutralises the curse. Roisin then proceeds to usher Sinbad off on a journey as he is getting more and more disorientated.

Back onboard the ship. The rest of the gang examine a razer sharp thing thats lodged itself on a plank of wood. Cook determines its a fingernail. Rina is not ready to let Sinbad go yet so she and Anwar go after him.

Rina and Anwar - I really do love these two. Finally we see a slight weakness in our scrappy thief. She doesn't like ghosts. They both encounter some swirly dark memories and run off then fall down into some sort of trench thing where they discover some of Roisins past victims missing teeth. Rina has lifted some teeth from Roisins hut so they realise they need to get a move on and stack up aload of skulls to climb back out. Where more memories are waiting including Sinbads gran below.

Rina and Anwar theorise - too quickly in my book that they are memories and Sinbads are being stolen and set off after them, naturally rescuing our hero in the nick of time. Rina does this by offering up her memories and mid way through her story turning them nasty thereby neutralising her.

Interestingly I think that even at the end when Anwar broached asking her if she really got sold into slavery and she made out he was daft to have fallen for it - that was what happened to her. I would love to see an ep exploring Rina's background.

Big bad -  Taryn meanwhile has taken Sinbad's grandmother prisoner and works some magic that ends up giving Sinbad a vision at the end of her calling for his help. Sinbad decides they are going back to Basra.
