Aurora and Jonathan finally reunite! I’ve been waiting for this since the first episode, and what was given was well worth the wait!
The Teaser definitely teased me in this episode. I ran straight through the entire episode without taking a single break. I’m the type of reader that enjoys it when we get a glimpse further into the episode right off the bat. While other reader might not like that, for me, it gets me more interested into seeing how they get there.
Aurora and Jonathan’s battle in the arena was, in a word, epic. Episode after episode, I love the action sequences more and more. Trias being convinced by Vergil to make them fight just goes to show how devious Trias is. Before killing them, he wanted to see some action first. He might think that Aurora is heartless (and I agree), but so is he.
I enjoyed seeing Marius and Kate again. The hooded figures were suspicious and I had a feeling that it would be then, but it was still awesome that they were revealed to us right when the real battle began. Talk about coming out with a bang!
Then, we have a little mystery that had gone unnoticed. All this time, I’ve simply assumed that the Reaver was a very fast horse. But, I get the feeling that that had been the intention all along. Turns out, the Reaver is a big ass airship. Using the Reaver to their advantage is great, but the danger is looming that the airship is going to crash. It’ll be interesting to see what Aurora, Jonathan, and Vergil do to avoid dying.
Speaking of death, I will kill somebody if Vergil dies. This happens to me in a lot of series that I read (i.e. Shackles), where my favorite guest star will be killed. Vergil is by far my favorite that we’ve seen so far and I can only hope that something will be done that will keep him alive. Will I stop reading if he dies? No. But will I have a word or two for a certain showrunner? Maybe…
All in all, this was another very solid episode of Afterlife. In fact, I’ll even say that this was the strongest episode and my favorite, so far. Keep it up!
Jimbo’s Next Theory
Aurora and Jonathan will find a way to keep Vergil alive. Time to just… hope…
