Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen she discovers the fossil, Cora tells Luke "It looks like the vertebra that Anning found in Dorset". This is a reference to a real person: Mary Anning, a prolific fossil hunter and self taught paleontologist. Anning became famous for finding a largely intact Icthyosaurus skeleton as a child. She went on to find and catalog many fossils relating to prehistoric sea creatures.
- GoofsDr. Garrett mentions a theory that the incidents that sparked the Salem witch trials were triggered by hallucinations caused by eating ergot contaminated by the the mold c. purpurea (a type of ergot). However, this theory was not developed until 1976. (The numerous effects of ergot were well-known as St. Anthony's Fire, but nobody had theorized that it caused the hallucinations that were behind the accusations of witchcraft in Salem.)
Featured review
Did they have to?
I've been enjoying this so far, more so because of the conflict between the religious folk and those looking for a scientific explanation. I like how it doesn't seem to be taking the conventional route, which is why I was surprised and in the slightest way possible disappointed as well at the ending of episode three. They didn't need to add the love interest and the whole 'I don't need to apologize to a man situation'. I mean you can see it coming all the way but I thought they'd stray away from the cheap shot of going down the infidelity route between Cora and Will; especially with Stella staring at them across the field through the window. The forbidden love story just seems like the easy(maybe even lazy) route for the writers, especially since the whole priest thing was already done in fleabag. I still think it'll end up being a decent show but the extra points I gave it for originally feel a little misplaced. I was intrigued by the series because I'm a sucker for gloomy, strange or dark shows so from that perspective I'm still enjoying the mystery of it; trying to figure out if it's God, Jo and her friends "witchcraft", or if it's just some animal and the people's paranoia of the unexplained is just fueling their fears. Anyway, on a silly sidenote, Tom hiddleston has a type here.
