I had made some assumptions leading up to the season finale of season 2 of Knightfall, “While I Breath, I Trust the Cross.” Some of them fairly obvious, others more involved, but I’m delighted to say that while I was on-point with some, the writers, actors, show runner and rest of the crew delivered a […]
I’ll be up front and honest, I did not see episode 206 of Knightfall unfolding as it did. I knew there’d be a siege, complete with yelling, screaming, and the clash of battle, but I never for an instant thought it would end with King Philip standing over Landry with a blade to his throat. […]
Well, Landry has been a busy Templar since getting re-instated to the order, hasn’t he? Last week he got to cross swords (flaming even) with Gawain and this week he throws down with Prince Louis. All he needs now is a good donnybrook with King Philip and he’ll have met and survived (we suppose) the […]
At last, the testy face-to-face we’ve been longing for arrived in the latest episode of Knightall. “Equal Before God” delivered unto us, the fandom, the first clash of steel on steel between Landry and Gawain in a while. And to make it even better, Landry did a little flaming sword action to get things off […]
Faith, and the struggle to keep it, has always been an undercurrent within the show “Knightfall.” In episode 203, “Faith,” that struggle is on full display, particularly the highs and lows within that struggle for several of our main characters. The high? Obviously, the bonding of Talus and Landry in the midst of the slaughter […]
I’ve said often in this space that I really enjoy backstory for the characters that intrigue me. Hence, a show that takes the time to give us backstory on its major characters, a backstory that illuminates some of who they are now, is a show that fills my empty entertainment cup nicely. And I got […]
When last we saw Landry and his Templar brothers, they were engaged in a cacophony of battle with King Phillip, Gawain and a band of mercenary soldiers brought on by an illicit love affair and pregnancy. The King was repulsed, but not before letting Landry have a look at his sword piercing the queen’s belly. […]
At long last the mercenary forces of William De Nogaret and King Philip made their play against the Templars. And a titanic battle it was, including a twist (though not a surprise) with Gawain taking leadership of the mercenaries as he squared off against his former brothers. The Knightfall season finale featured blood-soaked swords, splintering […]
When the latest episode of Knightfall ended, I had two questions that nagged at me almost immediately — what did Landry’s mother tell Pope Boniface to make him do a complete 180 on killing Landry, and now that the Grail is out, how many times will it switch hands by the end of this season? […]
At long last the Grail is found and headed to the Paris Templar temple, but there’s a series of storms brewing that will make the Grail the focal point of conflict and discovery even as William De Nogaret rises from the ashes to reveal a devastating secret. We’re at the penultimate point of season 1 […]
