Day of Spilled Brains

Such a sad episode. It amazes me that the Hawaiian culture has remained steadfast in the face of horrific violence ever since the first missionaries landed. (Both physical and spiritual) Indigenous communities sure are lessons in strength.

Human history just continues to repeat itself. Hatred, ignorance, selfishness, power, revenge. Over and over and over. With all of humanity's advances, I can't get over the fact that we're still too dumb to learn the most valuable of them.

Warnings proven. Blood spilled. Cliffhangers deployed ruthlessly.

Ep 7 "Day of Spilled Beans" delivers the series' finest hour through devastating vindication and merciless British brutality. I am so glad I didn't give up after that rather useless filler called Ep 6.

The episode brilliantly validates Ka'iana's strategic foresight whilst devastating Kamehameha's naive peace overtures. Their heated clash over foreign intervention reaches boiling point as harsh reality demolishes idealistic diplomacy. The bitter betrayal cuts deeper than any blade-trust shattered alongside Hawaiian innocence.

Ka'iana's prophetic warnings explode into horrific reality as Captain Metcalfe's forces strike Hawaiian villages without mercy - transforming theoretical colonial threat into visceral nightmare. Violence erupts with stunning authenticity. British savagery strips away colonial politeness, revealing imperial brutality in all its devastating horror. The multiheaded monster of violence threatens everything beautiful about these islands-paradise becoming battlefield through foreign intrusion.

Momoa delivers powerhouse performance: Ka'iana's vindication tinged with tragic satisfaction. His "I warned you" carries devastating weight as Hawaiian blood stains foreign hands.

The cliffhanger ending proves absolutely masterful... tenterhooks doesn't begin to describe the suspense generated.

Ep 7 earns a magnificent 8.5/10 for proving this series still possesses devastating dramatic power. The best episode yet... colonial horror meeting Hawaiian heroism in genuinely explosive fashion.

We have reached the seventh episode and so far there is still a lot of talk in this series I have started to feel bored there are not even small battles there are no coups there is no betrayal moving between the islands has become very little as if the work is based on one clan if we consider that there are 3 kings ruling so far two leaders are marginalized and the full spotlight is on Kamehameha and his clan who do nothing but talk and his council which is useless we are now two episodes away and we do not know what will happen. Kayana tries to regain his prestige by breaking his leader's word and trying to assassinate those on the ship and I knew that Kamehameha would stop him with a clear scenario to try to excite the viewer in an attempt to have a conflict and this is what made the captain direct his ship and attack the villagers at the end of the episode. The conflict that occurs between Kayana and his wife is wonderful and its story in changing Kayana's character after returning from the city and I believe this will make a difference in the remaining two episodes.
