Anyway moving on from the last episode it seems that my lovely doctor Anwar is having some confidence problems due to his failed rescue of Rina the week before. Also he had convinced himself he was useless compared to the rest of the group and was thinking of leaving.
Anwar wakes up on his birthday having nightmares (we later find out from Sinbad he has been dreaming of scorpions with Rina's head on - weird . . .). Gunnar is quite cranky with him, Sinbad seems more preoccupied with them finding land and a wreck.
Queue our scooby sailor band rowing ashore and plundering. Theres a funny moment where Gunnar lobs a fish at Anwar's head. He ducks. Good thing too - I wouldn't wish anyone being hit in the face by a fish on their birthday.
Anwar wanders off on his own and find a chest. They drag it out and discover weirdly that the boat is sinking when they try to take it back to the providence. Gunnar and Sinbad much to Anwar's horror try hack it open with their axe and sword respectively.
So Sinbad decides its too valuable. Our hero goes back to the ship and orders cook to meet them at the other side of the island in shallower waters and they will carry it aboard. Queue a lovely shot of him of course diving into the sea. It never gets old drooling over Elliot diving. Thank you Sky 1!
When Sinbad returns Anwars still trying to figure the box out. Sinbad then suddenly blows on it and bam it opens up to reveal Hannah Tointon as Kuji - a goddess. Now I know its not her fault but the deity annoyed me.
Basically the rest of the episode revealed Kuji was being stalked by a drumming army on horses and she was secretly testing Anwars mettle. The Army - an illusion created by Kuji demanded her back and Anwar left the group as they wanted to use Kuji as bait and try pick the army off. But Sinbad and co obviously went to get their doc back hence proving that Anwar was important and needed.
Also they were heavily outnumbered and everyone died except her and Anwar and when she told him to leave he refused so that showed courage and then finally after almost an hour of Kuji annoyingly and smugly not being able to prove she was a god, she raised her hand, smashed it on the beach and bam army deaded. She revealed at the end he would be essential in the coming journey ahead and resurrected everyone.
Romantic Action - Anwar had a bit of a crush on the goddess. Of course this annoyed me as I am an Anwar/Rina shipper.
Rina and Anwar - Rina actually seemed jealous esp when they discovered Anwar had gone. Gunnar seemed to point out he had done it out of love and she snapped back it was lust.
Gunnar is epic - He had a whole brilliantly lit scene where he explained how to make a bear trap and used shadows to illustrate his story.
