Totally grossed out by the mouse scene in the bed. Yuk!
Mercy looked amazing. Great transformation.
What's bugging me is how underused John still is. This ep has pretty much made me give up hope that John will have any big scenes this season. I don't understand why he was basically put on ice all this time. He'll probably have more scenes in the finale, but that will be it.
Yeah it's kinda weird how John went from being a central character to more more than a one note villain, but at the same time it's something that should have lasting effects, especially on him personally. Assuming the show gets a third season I hope they work on giving him more dimensions than the hateful witch hunter. Which is all he has been this season, I've almost forgotten what it felt like to root for him. And despite most witches being evil, I see him as basically on their level, except even lower because at least they've been deviously fun, lol.
"Glam Make - Over Mercy" was awesome and still no less pissed at Mary (lol)! Who else could "raise hell while burning in hell", but Increase Mathers. Nobody 4 NOW!!!
Awesome episode! I watched over and over to make sure I didn't miss anything such as: - "steak a la George Sibley" was a shocker (gross) for Mary (the look on her face was priceless) who believed herself to have gained the up hand again only to realize that the Countess is so much further down that "road to hell" than she (Mary) is. - Mercy Lewis cleans - up nice and the "Countess Make - Over" is the first time we get to see "beautiful" Mercy Lewis! - I didn't realize how much I missed Increase Mathers until this episode. Great having him back even as Mary's unwilling servant. - Tituba has finally got John Alden right where she wants him, but now what? Lucy Lawless has been a great addition to Salem. I really enjoy her scenes. "Witch Wars" has not disappointed yet! 4 A SALEM TRIAL BY FIRE, I am Nobody!!!
It's definitely weird for me how John went from being the male lead and the guy we're meant to root for, to being a side character that seems right now one dimensional. I'm hoping it's just a very long setup and he gets to do more now, maybe it's setting things up for his role in the finale or S3, should be get one.
Mercy does indeed look great and she finally has a purpose again, I think last episode and this one were around the halfway point and setting things up for the rest of the season, getting all the players in the right place.
It's bugging me that John hasn't said why he even did all this in the first place. Does he feel betrayed by Mary, or what? There's just nothing other than he hates witches. I was hoping Tituba would have brought his son to meet him. At least there would have been some drama.

Good ep. The Increase scenes were awesome.

ReplyDeleteThe ending was awesome with Cotton freaking out that he's seeing his father's ghost. I can't wait till the big showdown with the Countess.
ReplyDeleteI just don't get why they have John on the sidelines all season with very little to do. It doesn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteSo they were actually eating George for dinner? That comment that they said about how the last of George was just finished. Eeewwww.
ReplyDeleteMercy looked to amazing, great actress there.
Increase's return is so epic. The real showdown with the Countess will be awesome.
I hope there will be more than just having John spend the rest of the season locked up.
The Countess vs. the ghost of Increase Mathers 2 will be a "EPIC SHOWDOWN"! Nobody 4 NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree, I hope it has a big pay off, because it's really weird to completely sideline a leading character for over half a season.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I know I've been watching too much Hannibal when the George-meat reveal didn't phase me and I just ended up chuckling at Mary's expression.
ReplyDeleteI love Increase so much and his return was great, hope he's used well this season.
Well, Tituba indicated she plans for John to kill "the right" witches, so I'm sure she plans on releasing/unleashing him at some point.
