What were the conventions for interracial relationships in Victorian England? In the same time period, in say the Southern US, such relationships would be dangerous, especially for the black man. Amalia insisted that what they were doing wasn't wrong. It looked like more than friends with benefits relationship. So it would be interesting to see if Amalia and Horatio will be open about the relationship. had a wife? Also they made it sound like Amalia satisfied her desires at the bars in one of the previous episodes. executing Maladie is typical for the period.Īmalia and Dr. I thought they had too many speeches about the barbarism of capital punishment, or was it just the public executions that they objected to? In the Inside the Episode, they have an historical consultant telling us that public executions brought all the classes together because of the entertainment value? Obviously they're holding back what happened with Amalia and the Galanthi for the "Part 1 Finale." Maybe those digging underneath that cracking egg or whatever that blue thing is, which causes them to put on goggles as the pulsing blue light gets intensely bright. So, the end reveal kind of fell flat for me (and anyone who has ever seen The Usual Suspects).ĪI thought I was the one who missed the Galanthi. I think many of us called the Eager Beaver Reporter who appeared out of nowhere with her obvious set of false teeth as Maladie in disguise. Which of course was that Maladie wasn't going anywhere because Joss Whedon has always has one absolutely annoying character like this on all of his shows (No offense to Amy Manson, I'm sure she's a very good actress in other things). Penance was being naive, and should have been focused on the bigger picture. Yes, Victorian justice was certainly harsh, but it wasn't as if Maladie had been framed. True laid down some hard truth on Penance - yes, Massen was using the execution to perpetuate anti-Touched propaganda but Maladie had still killed twelve people. Ugh! I love Penance, but there is no narrative plot device that I dislike more than saving an irritating character. Right?! Was I not paying attention to last week's episode? I felt like you could have made a drinking game out of how many times someone said "Galanthi," and I would be very drunk by the end of the hour (but still missing key information). Did they skip the part where they talk about the Galanthi?
