Warning: spoilers follow for the episode below.
Better tuck that skin on your back and choke down those chicken bones, because this episode of The Bastard Executioner finally proved to us that this is a show worth checking out.
Following three episodes of story that focused on the weird, surreal relationship between Wilkin and Annora of the Alders, the story finally pulled back from the witchcraft stuff. OK, so maybe there was a teeny little warning about death etc., but I'm on board with that if it means Katey Sagal is used sparingly -- as she should be with this role.
With the witchy stuff out of the way, that left plenty of time to focus on some of the early standouts of the show, namely Milus, Lady Love and of course, our leading lad Wilkin. For Lady Love, that meant visiting a very young version of King Edward II, one who was much more interested in sporting than ruling his people (as most young royal people tend to be on television). Watching her attempt to be the bigger person, first by not eating any of the spread that was set in front of her, and then by rejecting the advances from the King's advisor, she brought forward a lot of the show's issues around women trying to make it by in a man's world. With the advisor not wanting to play fair and deciding to divvy up Ventrishire, she had little choice but to claim there was an heir in that beetle belly of hers. Now of course all she has to do is find an heir. Odds on her trying to seduce Wilkin? Pretty darned good.
