The Outpost
S01E05
Season 1 Episode 5
This show is pretty surprising. They aren't doing anything you would expect in a show like this. Of course it means that they are going to need other things to deal with once they burn through these storylines. Luckily they still have the Plaguelings, Greyskins, Calypsum & the Prime Order once they deal with Talon & her vengeance story arc. Hopefully they keep it going.
They killed the old man that I thought was going to be her mentor. Nope, he's dead. Now the marshal knows she's a black blood. He & Garrett saw the demon. What a mess. And it turns out that she's the royal princess! And the Captain let his own daughter be murdered by the Prime Order to protect her!? Jesus Christ, and that's why the wife killed herself. That is some messed up stuff.
This show is coming up with some interesting stuff. Of course the marshal did kill that servant girl. Oops.

Season 1 Episode 4
I thought the worm was growing his Calypsum somewhere around a bird's nest; instead someone is mailing it to him? That seems dumb.
Talon really needs to do something about the Laquiree, it keeps killing people, & now it might kill her. She totally wants to bang the captain, that wasn't sparring. I don't care what she says.
That captain's daughter is up to something. Talon got stabbed again! The Laquirie stabbed her. She was not confident enough I guess.

Season 1 Episode 3
This show is turning out to be pretty good. We keep learning more about the black bloods & I like that the gate marshal is really smart & has figured out a lot of things. The brewer is annoying. They made him seem retarded in the 1st episode, but he clearly isn't. So I expect them to keep making him more normal as the show goes on. He's still going to be annoying though as he's already been friendzoned.
I'm not sure what's up with the princess, but she seems like she's going to cause trouble. I was surprised that the captain of the guard enlisted Janzo to help him find a Plagueling. And Janzo seemed to notice that the wench had a circular bracelet which might be infected with Plagueling eggs? Is that how they get infected with the throat snake?
How has nobody seen that demon thing?

Season 1 Episode 2
Another surprising episode. I didn't expect for her secret to get out so soon. I thought we would get a few episodes with Talon skulking around the outpost getting a job and pretending to be normal, but already that prophesy guy knows about her. The brewer knows about her. The gate marshal and pretty much everyone now knows Talon has black blood.
Plus it turns out she's some kind of demon priestess, maybe black bloods are half-demon? By reading that thing she summoned one into her room! That old guy told her not to read it out loud. She was right that he should have told her it was dangerous.
I like that they actually showed the demon. I also wasn't expecting that. I'm surprised that everyone does drugs. I really hate watching drug use on tv shows.

Season 1 Episode 1
I thought this show took place in the future but apparently not. I like that we already encountered greyskins & Plaguelings and of course, the black bloods. So far it's interesting. I hope they put some thought into the world building.
Talon seems to be able to channel some demon from another dimension to protect her, a power her mom gave her. There's some war going on & it seems like there is only 1 outpost.
So far so good, I'm surprised by how violent the destruction of her village was. They showed the dudes swinging their axes at people & getting hit with arrows. At least it wasn't graphic.
I like that Talon got stabbed with both those swords. Sure he was old & she is in her prime, but he's still bigger & has more experience than her. I guess she'll be healed with magic, but it was still great that she got stabbed!
