Willow

• Title: Willow – Children of the Wyrm
• IMDb: link

After taking the leap of faith, our travelers all eventually find themselves in the Immemorial City, beginning with Kit (Ruby Cruz) and Elora (Ellie Bamber) discovering Prince Airk (Dempsey Bryk) has joined the Crone (Rosabell Laurenti Sellers) and each of them will be tempted to do so as well. Despite a large section of the episode suggesting they might be tempted, nothing in the plot actually sells this as likely possibility. We also see the return of lame minions of the Crone (remember those rejects which look like a mix between Hellraiser and The Masters of the Universe live-action movie?) and a final battle which will see one member of our troop fall in battle (well… sort of).

• Title: Willow – Beyond the Shattered Sea
• IMDb: link

Our fellowship moves out of the woods and crosses the Shattered Sea in the aptly-titled episode that follows the same previously-used formula. Points of interest are Prince Airk (Dempsey Bryk) making a new friend who is obviously evil, the reveal that Prince Graydon (Tony Revolori) has some magic ability in him, Thraxus (Amar Chadha-Patel) discovers he’s unworthy, our travels squabble, and (after another episode of being a horrible character best killed off an left in the wasteland) Kit (Ruby Cruz) grows up a wee bit (we’ll see how long that lasts).

• Title: Willow – Prisoners of Skellin

Following a similar story of “The Whispers of Nockmaar,” with our travelers facing the dangerous of another enemy stronghold, “Prisoners of Skellin” involve the rest of the group entering the dangerous mines of the Skellin to rescue the captured Willow (Warwick Davis) and the still quite unlikable Kit (Ruby Cruz). The episode also gives us fellow prisoner, and former soldier Allagash (Christian Slater) who offers Kit some context to the fate of her father. We also see glimpses of a freed Prince Airk (Dempsey Bryk) still trapped by the magic of his location. At only six episodes, to see the series already starting to repeat itself doesn’t seem to bode well for what is yet to come.

• Title: Willow – The High Aldwin / The Battle of the Slaughtered Lamb
• IMDb: link/ link

While the second episode of Willow primarily focused on the failures of Willow (Warwick Davis) to teach Elora (Ellie Bamber) magic while the group theoretically started their search for the captured Airk (Dempsey Bryk), “The High Aldwin” ended with Elora captured by the zombie soldiers following them setting up the events of “The Battle of the Slaughtered Lambs” with our fellowship once again abandoning the quest to find the prince and instead searching for Elora.
