I would give this episode a 7.5 if IMDB would let me

Not sure what they were thinking with the middle of the season but I started to get worried for the quality of the show. It's starting to turn around.

It's like a roller coaster, it goes up and down. The beginning of season 2 was up and the last 2-3 episodes were down. It's starting to go back up, really hoping they maintain that.

Lighting was better

Still hate the incest story line between Kofun and Queen Kane. Thats the biggest qualm I have with this season so far. It's an unnecessary and also quite frankly overused taboo.

Why give the incestuous scenes between Kofun and the Queen so much screen time and the love scenes between Wren and Haniwa an eighth of the screen time? I hated that.

This story keeps getting better and better. I am really curious to see how this will all wrap up this season, but the tension is building for sure.

This episode is somewhat dark which makes it harder to see during the day... I will have to rewatch it this evening. Love, betrayal, suffering, death and DOUBT characterize this amazing episode.

Sibeth pulled the rug under Maghra's feet and I am very curious to see what she will do after this. In my opinion, Tamacti will be key in the next episodes to come. I think Kofun will get badly hurt at the hands of Sibeth.

I you like Game of Thrones... This is the show for you!

One of the best episodes to date in my view.

Full of political intricacies and different factions looking out for their interests, makes for a really enjoyable viewing experience, especially if you prefer politics over battle. Did find the Queen/Kofun scenes somewhat hard to watch - but it does show how the Queen emotionally manipulates people, especially those susceptible to it.

The twist at the end of the peace talks and how that influenced the relationship and trust between Haniwa and Wren was masterful. Also leaves you with a bit of a Cliffhanger at the end, aching to find out how Edo takes the reveal.

Overall a bit slow at times, but the parts that were great really did shine.

Episode 6: A more interesting, tense, mini action-packed episode with a lot going on, too much filler scenes involving Kofun, Queen doesn't count as she is basically (the) Queen and if they don't show her, what would they do?!

Baba Voss was great in the end, though a little too late and one person even as mighty as him couldn't have changed the outcome.

The last minute of the episode was the greatest IMO and that phrase in that electric silence was like dynamite exploding.

Some folks state that the actors and actresses are faking their lack of vision. This review is from a scientist standpoint.

A blind person's other senses (in this modern day) aren't any better than others who can see... but they depend on them more. With a genetic affliction of lack of vision, the other senses would be superior. Marghra can hear her sisters heartbeat (and that of her child). Hand and mouth sounds show the blind where to focus but the blind are still near powerless against hashashins.

Now to the fighting. Notice how Baba Voss makes circles of sound with his weapons as he listens. ANY sound not his is where an enemy is and with that sound reference, he then has a location reference and strikes quickly. That would be viable because as I said, the other senses compensate for lack of vision.

How would they tell friend from foe? I don't think bathing is a common occurrence amongst the humans so a jumped up sense of smell would detect a stranger. The hashashins are silent as they take even more advantage of sound information.

Something interesting for the future? The blind people all seem to have heavy duty cataracts. Imagine someone with cataract removal skills in the mix...

Blind People: You have not killed us!!

Eye Surgeons: No... we have made you into what you fear and hate the most... Witches!!

In a world where everyone is blind, Haniwa and Wren wake up screaming, instead of going out and seeing what happened ??? They went and put on all their clothes???
