Today was one of the least inspired Sinbad episodes that mainly consisted of Anwar feeling good/self-important.
To recapitulate. The previous episode not only got rid of Akbari for good, it also exposes Anwar as a fraud, and not a real doctor, right before Rina. His attempt to rescue her too failed, though it was the thought that counted, as Rina told him. Either way, Anwar needed a confidence boost, and he got it in the person of a goddess, named Kuji. A deity of what she is, exactly, is another question, and one that is not answered in this episode. A goddess of intelligentsia, perhaps, or of second chances, or of boxes - the choices are limitless.
...However, if Kuji is a goddess of second chances (for the lack of a better word), then she does it in a strange way: she had her minions (or whatever) kill everyone except for Anwar, who proves his courage and loyalty to himself and everyone else is revealed to be alive. Way to go Kuji. (Sarcam).
Here, incidentally, lies the reason - well, one of the reasons - why the show's ratings have been falling. If "Sinbad" is an action show, like "Hercules" or "Xena" for example, then it shouldn't have so many twists in the end that aim at the audience's heart and brain. If "Sinbad" isn't an action show, then all of these oriental trappings are just pointless and distracting and the show could as well be occurring in Elfland, (as the travels of Odysseus took place) as in the Middle East. The show's calling card is its connection to Middle East, and here it is not shown, other than in the setting of Basra. Abdul Fahim (from ep. 3) didn't look anything like an Abdul Fahim, but rather some sort of a basketball player off the court with some weird eye shadow (WTF?). And the show's audience recognizes this, and responds by the dropping ratings. Very depressing. Still, this is an "Impossible Pictures" production, which means - outside of "Primeval" - the odds of this show being a one-season wonder are quite high. The odds that this season will end on an open note, but the show will not appear ever again - especially with "Primeval: New World" looming on the horizon - are also quite high. I would say that it's a pity, but after this episode... not so much. Oh well, to each his own.
PS: Kuji may claim to be a deity, but between the box and her trickster nature I still say that she's a djinn (in the Arabian folklore they were more like the demons and the fey than Disney's Alladin shows them to be), who has just decided that Anwar and co. are going to be her new best friends slash toys - not a good place to be, not exactly. There were bad djinn, and mischievous, and some pretty nasty ones. Still, after this episode, I say that Anwar and co. may deserve such a fate. At least the next episode may be bringing Taryn - and Nala - back. We'll see.

Sinbad, ep 7 - Aug 19
So, in this episode Taryn and Akbari have taken over Basra, and the show made their regime look positively Nazi. Don't want to use this term in vain, but the way their new guards burned down the scrolls and what-not can remind one of the Nazis in "Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail" when the Nazis did burn books, and Hitler was present there. Here, of course, it's Taryn who's the chief villain, revealing herself in the last quarter of the episode, with Akbari being nothing but her puppet.
Since Taryn is the most awesome villain in Sinbad, and Akbari gets killed by her in this episode, let's talk about them and their villainy, first. Akbari redeems himself before he dies, revealing that revenge and despair are not exactly evil and that evil itself is mostly straying oneself from goodness. The darkness and light connotations here are obvious but they also bring back the parable of the sheep lost in the wilderness; oh Gunnar, when will you let your Christian faith come into light? After all, when in the beginning of the episode you kicked the guards' ass, you were so the warrior monk that friar Tuck would be so proud of you!
Speaking of the beginning of the episode, Sinbad still proved himself to be the impulsive jackass that he was in the previous ep - always rushing-in behind thinking. However, by the end of the episode he proved himself to be the master of his emotions and finally freed himself of his curse, by learning how to bind his impulsive nature and how to master his whims - not to be mastered by them.
Nala, for her part, realized what she wants to do in her life - run an underground railroad from Basra to help those who want to escape now-Taryn's oppressive regime. Well, also selfish since Taryn's flaw is that she's willing to do any villainy to get what she wants, regardless of who gets caught underfoot. And since Nala is more level-headed than Sinbad is (or was?) she won't get caught until the next-to-last/last episode when Sinbad and his crew will arrive to rescue her and Basra.
Speaking of Basra, yes, I understand, that from this episode on Taryn's rule is going to be contrasted with the late Emir's more benevolent rule, until Sinbad comes to return Basra to normal. But, I honestly cannot imagine the deceased as a good lord (i.e. baron, if you will) - that bald buffoon was so obsessed with his dream that he didn't see what was going on under his nose until it was too late. Ah well, it all just means that Sinbad will look all the better once he'll ascend to the throne.
Speaking of looking better, Anwar has finally gotten his big boy pants when he rescued Rina - well, not exactly. Rina has rescued herself, but in this case it was the thought that counted because Anwar could've stayed at home and went back to the university, and generally collaborated with the regime until he got arrested or whatever. But he didn't - even though the life he talked about on the ship was all a lie - and now he may actually be winning Rina's heart (and hand in marriage, eventually). All he now needs to do is to prove to himself (and maybe to others) that yes, he is a doctor and to do that he has to cure somebody, or to dress their wounds, or something that medically important.
Finally, we get another clue that the Cook is magically/mystically tied to the ship: as his head turns left and right, so does the ship's figurehead. Does that make him some sort of a djinn or a spirit? Maybe the future episodes will reveal that.
So, Akbari is dead and the season's plot is half-way done; Taryn is in charge; Sinbad finally grew-up, and so did Anwar, but Anwar also now is beginning to have a relationship with Rina; Nala realized who she wants to be and is living her dream; Gunnar kicked ass and will probably become a monk; and the Cook is in a relationship with the ship, or is the ship, take your choice. All in all, this was a good episode and I enjoyed it.
PS: The props used at Akbari's coronation, etc, were very impressive and authentic-looking.
PPS: The shadow tentacle monster(s) wasn't that bad either.

Sinbad, ep 6 - Aug 12
In this exciting episode, Sinbad and his team have to deal with a siren called Roisin, but first about Taryn. No, she didn't sweep on her magical flying carpet (she's probably more of a broomstick-type anyways) to offer Roisin a place as her sidekick; instead, she finally finds Sinbad's grandmother and captures her in order to lure Sinbad.
...The only mistake that Taryn has made is that she didn't try to befriend Sinbad's granny; as Sinbad's curse can testify, ol' Sophia knows few magical tricks of her own! If they teamed up, they would solve everyone's problem twice as fast, i.e. teach Sinbad a lesson and give Akbari some much-needed therapy. Oh, and Roisin could be their sushi-girl slash sidekick too!
No, wait. Let's get back to Roisin a bit later, and talk about the Amir instead. In this episode, Akbari kills him because his brother exiled him for "keeping" Taryn (let's be honest who's "keeping" whom in this relationship, shall we?) alongside the groovy sorceress because she has kidnapped Sinbad's granny. The granny of the same man who has killed Amir's own nephew and for whom the Amir was supposed to have affection... as the Amir's actions show, apparently not.
Let's review. Ever since the end of the ep. 1, when the Amir promised his brother help, but failed to deliver it, Taryn has been helping Akbari; in her own way, but still, while the Amir didn't do anything, until now. What did he expect? That Akbari will just forget about his son's death and move on? Seriously? Admittedly, some people can, (usually with help), but Akbari cannot. In any case, the Amir, by doing nothing and ignoring his brother's affliction until it was too late was guilty of the sin of indifference, and in this episode, he paid the ultimate price: Akbari killed him. The only thing that he should've done instead was to stab Amir face to face and say something along the lines of: "You fat slob, you claimed to be my brother, and said that you help me, but you didn't; and now, that Taryn and I finally have a chance of success, you exile us? Take this!" - and then he would stab the Amir. Only... that would create sympathy for Akbari, and that is something the show is trying to avoid, making Akbari and Taryn into villians instead. Well, why cannot be sympathetic villians instead?
Speaking of villians, let's talk of Roisin and her run-in with Sinbad and his crew. Roisin is a siren... in this version, an evil mermaid, rather than a bird-woman as in the Odyssey, who charms people (primarily men), steals their memories and eats them. Only, in this case, Sinbad has very few good memories, but plenty of bad ones, and one of which is tied to his curse. I have talked that all Sinbad needs is a competent magician to get him rid of his curse, and this time it came true. Roisin did nullify Sinbad's curse...at the price of his memories...and eventually his life. But then Rina comes along and saves him! Hooray!
Several more general notes on the episode. First of all, Roisin must be a very physically emposing siren, if she's able to break through a ship's hull. However, her health must be really bad, since she broke a talon, and it hadn't regrown yet.
Secondly, what is the name of Rina's soup? I think it was goulash-something, making me wonder if Rina isn't party Gypsy/Romany/whatever. Well, if she is, why not? After all, Sinbad already got a (maybe Christian) Viking, a native African, a Chinese and a Greek. As a Gypsy, Rina has fit right in.
Thirdly, Nala got to feel annoyed, when Sinbad didn't pick her over Roisin. Well, that's normal - it is annoying when a man who has saved you from Death itself chooses a perky blonde over you as soon as the crisis is over.
Finally, the bones that Rina and Anwar found (Roisin's leftovers, no doubt). Yes, they're straight from the Odyssey too, where the Sirens sat in a green meadow, which was full of human bones and corpses. Roisin, with her island (and temple) fits right into this motive, though she's got a bit of Calypso (one of Odysseus' immortal girlfriends) in her as well. Of course, thanks to Sinbad's bad memories, her island also got (temporarily) a number of nasty ghosts, so frankly I cannot help but wonder if Roisin didn't come out the true loser in her and Sinbad's encounter overall.
So, in conclusion, this episode had a very good, very Homeric siren, a great opponent to Sinbad and his crew (Rina got to save the day for a change), and in Basra the Amir got what he deserved. That was a great episode, in other words.

Sinbad, ep 5 - Aug 6
Sorry about the delay on the latest Sinbad review, so let's get straight to business. As always, the script intended for Sinbad and his crew to be the heroes; in this particular instance it was Gunnar's turn to accept the flaws in his past and become a better person in his present.
Here's the thing: if Gunnar's a Viking, then how did he make it to Basra? Scandinavia is a fair distance away from the Middle East; my guess is Gunnar used to deal with Constantinople (before it became Istanbul), maybe as a member of a much-talked about Varangian guard... before he had a falling-out of some sort or another, and left to become a trader (ep 01). Maybe this career shift occurred because Gunnar became a Christian - vikings and Scandinavians in general remained pagan for a long time; longer than the rest of Europe, and as a formerly Viking berserker (or at least a raider) becoming a Christian meant a major shift not just in his career choices, but in his life philosophy, since the Christian morale may not have been an exact opposite to the Viking raiders' way of life, but it was very close.
Well, in any way, Gunnar may've repented in part before he joined Sinbad's crew and by the end of this ep he must've repented in full (more or less), but before he did that, he and the others had to deal with the Khaima, led by Obsedian. So, may I ask: WTF? Obsedian (well, Carsteen Norgaard) is Scandinavian (Danish), but the Khaima itself appears to be something rather like a cross between a secret knight order (distant influence of the Knights of Malta, maybe?) and the Ismailites (the real-life version of assassins of D&D). Ergo, how did a Dane become their member in the first place, let alone their leader? And secondly, Gunnar's fault is being a bloodthirsty Viking? What is this, kangaroo court? Or does Obsedian just have issues with his former pagan countrymen? In either option, the Khaima aren't coming out smelling like roses out of this whole mess.
Speaking of mess, what is going on in Basra? The Amir has promised Akbari to avenge Malik, but so far all of the work appears to have done by Taryn, who has actually created a "Familiar" to track Sinbad down and to kill him (or to deliver him to Akbari?). From Sinbad's POV that's bad, but on the other hand, Taryn seems to be so active, that she's almost a rocket (aside - kudos to those scientists and co. who managed to land Curiosity on Mard!): she is doing almost everything that's related to tracking down Sinbad almost by herself, with Akbari being more of her sidekick (he couldn't even get enough information from a harbor master) and the Amir just doing... nothing.
Seriously, look: Taryn is magically competent enough to create the "Familiar", she is competent enough to track Sinbad down, and she's clever enough to have Nala and Rina release her when she's captured by the Khaima. By contrast, the Amir couldn't even hire normal bounty hunters to bring Sinbad back to Basra (like the Khaima, or just some competent people). All he ever does is consoles his brother and bad-mouthes Taryn. Since Akbari isn't an utter retard, he judge for himself, which of the two is more helpful to him, and make corresponding conclusions.
Back to Taryn, or rather - her newest creation. The show called it a "Familiar", but in reality, a witch's (or a sorcerer's) familiar is their cat, toad, or raven that helps them do magic. (In some extreme cases this familiar is an infernal imp in the guise of an animal.) The witches in "Macbeth's" opening scene talk about their familiars, but Taryn's creation is something else. It appears to be a mix of a doppelganger and a homunculus.
A "doppelganger" is a body double of a man or a woman, often ghostly, usually forewarning them of their upcoming death. The Russian Empress Anna (reigned from 1730 to 1740) had encountered such a doppelganger, for example. A homunculus is an artificial creature, grown in a lab, created by magic. Neither of those creatures can be used as a familiar, whatever d20 Modern D&D setting may say. But that's okay, because obviously Taryn's familiar was inspired by the second terminator in the "Terminator II" movie, save that instead of nanobots (or whatever) it was made out of sand. And, oh, it apparently fed on anger, so when Sinbad mastered this emotion, the creature perished.
...Anger/wrath is one of 7 cardinal vices, defeated by patience/composure. This is the 5th episode out of 13 that compose the first season of "Sinbad". That gives the show just enough episode space to master all of the cardinal virtues and to arrive at the final, 13th, episode. Hopefully, that won't be the case, and Sinbad adventures won't be done through the lands of Christian theology, because if it does, then the Emir won't even be allowed into Hell, due to his hypocritical indifference (see above). After all, there only so many heartrendering speeches he can give to his brother without actualy doing anything, and not having Akbari (who is a violent madman) stab him in the back to become Amir in his place so that Basra's resources can be used to bring Sinbad to justice. If that happens, though, I'm rooting for Taryn: she has proved herself intelligent and competent enough to rule Basra if there's a coup.
PS: Apparently, in the "Providence's" future, they will arrive at an island run by a woman whom Taryn seems to recognize. Maybe Taryn is going to get her very own sidekick! That'd be awesome!
