Atlantis "The Queen Must Die" Review (Spoilers!)

5/18/2015

There’s cruelty and then there’s what the BBC just did to its Atlantis viewers with “The Queen Must Die”. When its cancellation was announced a few months back, we knew that there were going to be a fair few loose ends left behind for Tumblr fangirls to resolve. But leaving it like that? Essentially trailing a season that is never going to hit our screens? That’s just taunting us. We’ll never get to see the hunt for the Golden Fleece, or find out if Orpheus rescues Eurydice from Hades, or discover who Jason chooses in his love triangle. Also, how the hell was a FLEECE (traditionally shorn from a woolly animal) woven?

Atlantis "Kin" Review (Spoilers!)

5/12/2015

 
PictureBBC
by Helen Langdon

Atlantis this week is all about the parental relationships, appropriately enough for an episode entitled “Kin”. While Icarus keeps on digging himself a betrayal hole trying to keep his father alive, Jason’s getting fought over by Aeson and Pasiphae. It’s Atlantis coming down firmly on the nature side of the nature vs nurture debate; it doesn’t matter what kind of upbringing Jason’s had, what matters is whether he follows his mother into darkness or his father back out into the light.

Atlantis "The Dying of the Light" Review (Spoilers!)

The trailer for this episode of Atlantis promised us a Jason with his heart “blackened” by the knowledge that his mother was Pasiphae, series antagonist, murderer and best bitch-face in town. There were shades of Star Wars all over “The Dying of the Light”, what with Jason turning to the dark side, parental figures fighting for Jason’s allegiances and Pasiphae going all Darth Vader on her general. Appropriate for airing on the weekend before Star Wars Day.

Atlantis "The Gorgon's Gaze" Review (Spoilers!)

4/27/2015

Atlantis is getting bleak this week. Remember back at the start of the season, when the Oracle predicted dire things lay ahead for Jason if he found out his true parentage? He might find out at the end of “The Gorgon’s Gaze”, but he starts turning to the dark side a bit before that. Medusa still can't escape her guilt over killing the Oracle to escape her curse, and so to make amends, she makes a life-changing decision.

Atlantis "The Madness of Hercules" Review (Spoilers!)

4/20/2015

“The Madness of Hercules” is a bit of a misleading title for this week’s episode of Atlantis. Given that moniker, we might expect Hercules to be the focus of the episode, maybe drawing on mythological accounts of his insanity. But instead what we get is a fairly solid episode that advances the ongoing plot, and which really shines when it allows itself to have a quiet, character-driven moment.

Atlantis "A Fate Worse Than Death" Review (Spoilers!)

4/13/2015

There’s a definite sense of sadness coming into this episode of Atlantis. It’s been four months since the season paused halfway through, and three months since the BBC told us that we’re not getting any more episodes. After these seven, there’s to be no more broad rewriting of Greek mythology on BBC One’s Saturday nights. And that’s disappointing, given how much better this season has been.

Atlantis "The Grey Sisters" Review (Spoilers!)

Atlantis is off for a Christmas break and won’t be back until 2015, but before it went, it left us with a bit of an exciting episode, featuring the Grey Sisters (you might notice that their attribute of sharing one eye between three of them was nicked for the Fates in Disney’s Hercules), some man-eating birds (which were pterodactyls, honestly), and ending with a marriage proposal.

Atlantis "The Day of the Dead" Review (Spoilers!)

12/16/2014

Usually when Atlantis does death, the only victims are random extras with their faces out of focus. But “The Day of the Dead” saw the show kill off and seriously injure several of its named characters. Not entirely permanently, though, as this episode was Atlantis’ foray into horror movie territory, using the most Greek of monsters... zombies.

Atlantis "The Marriage of True Minds" Review (Spoilers!)

12/8/2014

OK, so last week’s Atlantis wasn’t exactly the most exciting or unpredictable, but it did help to move the story along. Ariadne chose her city over her heart (girl’s gonna make a great queen) and agreed to Telemon’s proposal, believing that he was a prince who’d make a great ally. But charming men with beards who want to marry princesses always turn out to be treacherous murderers, don’t they?

Atlantis "Telemon" Review (Spoilers!)

The more things change, the more they stay the same. In Atlantis, there might have been a change in the regime, Pasiphae might be off amassing power for another attempt at attacking, and Hercules might finally know the secret of Jason’s parentage, but in this week’s episode, we’re back to a standard, write-by-numbers episode of the tournament variety. Yes, it’s time for Ariadne’s Coronation Games.
