Sad that curly haired baboons are already giving 1 and 2 star ratings. The way they handled the Old Neil stuff was so peak. The first half was also handled really well. The flaws in the previous episodes are no more. They also covered all the important stuff in the novel without anything cut out. I wish we got a tarot meeting before the advancement.

I've read it four times but every time my eyes tear up... oh my god it hurts"We are protectors but a bunch of miserable wretches constantly fighting towards danger and madness " It hurts to see Klein crying too... dear 😔Old Neil had a profound effect on him. He was his teacher and mentor, a very kind and friendly person. Everyone in the Nighthawks had done something good for them, and everyone loved him... 😔

This is geniunely such a heart breaking episode, lotm peaked at this ep since it started at ep 1 and will continue to do so, this deserves a better rating than all the previous eps or in par with ep 6 if not more, the musics and the cinematography were perfevtly done, the characters emotions were portrailled in such a good way.

This episode has so many things woven beautifully together. I liked the cinematography and story writing pretty well. The characters had very good emotional depth in this episode and Klein's newfound powers bring excitement and anticipation for future events.

Overall the episode stays true to the source material while also well paced and emotionally touching through the clever use of the visuals.

Supernatural power, human-surpassing abilities, abstract concepts, knowledge of the beyond, and unnatural instincts are some of the powers that come with being a beyonder. If I were in high school, would this not be the coolest thing to become? But this, and the other episodes in this later part of the series have been touching upon the dark side of the beyonder world. Mysteries, horror, evil gods, corruption, temptation and now, it touches upon the prospect of what happens when your own ally, someone you share dinner with, becomes a monster after being corrupted? This episode follows one of the members of our Nighthawks getting corrupted, by what? The Hidden Sage. The show gave this information rather indirectly, Crester Cesimir, Klein's test-taker told him to be careful of taint from the high sequence beyonder of his pathway, in case they may be evil existences. While Klein himself may not have any need of that yet, another Nighthawk member from the Mystery Pryer pathway was indeed getting tainted by his pathway's 'deity' level figure (I think), The Hidden Sage. It shows the absolute fear and dominance of a high sequence beyonder within one's pathway, and we have already seen how Zaratul may be connected to the fate etched for Klein, which could very well be a taint from him to a lower sequence beyonder of the Seer pathway.

Regardless, this episode focused on the emotional aspect of losing one's comrade to corruption, and needing to eradicate them of it. It is a painful episode and perhaps a reality for many in the beyonder world, this is just the start of what awaits for us.
