Title: When Darkness Falls
Description: Episode twenty-four


Vearl - November 10, 2005 10:00 PM (GMT)
I just finished watching the episode. Here's a brief summary of what happened, so if you don't like spoilers then don't read it. Word created a pod to turn dragons into pure black draconium so he gets Moordryd to steal dragon eggs for him. Meanwhile, Artha is racing and he looses the amulet during a racing move. Later, when he goes to stop Moordryd from stealing dragon eggs, Artha realizes his amulet is missing so he goes as himself. He fails to stop Moordryd and he tells Parmon, Lance and Kitt that he lost the amulet. Artha knows he lost it at the track and is about to go back when he gets a message from Mortis telling him to come to the temple immeadiatly. At the temple Mortis gives Artha a device that picks up black draconium levels and tells Artha that there has been a high level of black draconium in a certain place and he knows Word and Moordryd are up to something. At the track Kitt, Lance and Parmon find the amulet but a crow-like creature takes it away. Artha arrives and they tell him what happened so he gives Parmon the device that detects black draconium and suggests that he tweak it to pick up gold draconium so that they can track and find that amulet. Kitt and Artha then go off to the place where Word is keeping the dragon eggs which looks like an empty warehouse. Parmon tweaks the device and he and Lance see there is a big gold draconium signal around one place so they go there and they're just around the corner from the signal so they decide to trap whatever/whoever has it with thoose green things. So they do that and end up trapping Kitt and Artha. The gold draconium signal was from Beau. Moordryd and Cain then arrive and trap Parmon, Lance manages to get away. Artha, Parmon and Kitt are then trapped to the wall in the building with the eggs when they begin to hatch. Parmon tries to reach his welding wand thing in his pocket but it drops to the ground. Then Parmon gets another idea, he could just touch Beau with the tip of his foot so he got Beau to send a mag blast through him and then magged his welding thing and got them all free. By then most the dragons had hatched and the dragons were attacking them. Meanwhile, Lance is picking up a gold draconium signal on the tracking device so he goes after it and finds the amulet. Back in the warehouse place, Kitt, Artha, Parmon and Beau go through a door and hide in a little room to be safe from the dragons attacking them. The pod, which was on the ceiling then begins to do something, it increases the dragon growth rate. Within seconds the little black dragons were pretty big. At this point, Lance arrives and he falls right into the middle of a hoard of the dragons. Beau mags him onto his back and Lance hands him the amulet. Artha turns into the Dragon Booster and is holding off the black dragons with Beau. Kitt uses some white gear to grab the pod on the ceiling and rip it down. Artha picks it up and asks Parmon if he could change it to turn the dragons back to their original colour by using the amulet with it and overpowering the black draconium. So Parmon quickly changes the pod and hands it to Artha who uses it with the amulet to turn the dragons back to their original colour, they were all red. When Moordryd comes back to the warehouse place, Descepshun nudges the black pod and it activates. And there's pretty much what happened, there was two short scenes in the end one with Word and one with Moordryd and Cain, where Moordryd reveals that the pod turned Descepshun into a pure black draconium dragon.

Sorry if I made any mistakes concerning what happened in the episode or if I left anything important out!

<_< I have found out why the United States sucks... <_<

Vearl - November 10, 2005 10:18 PM (GMT)
Yeah, how did you know it was on CBC?

Baby_Beau - November 10, 2005 10:22 PM (GMT)
I'm from Rockland near Ottawa and I thought it was an old eppie but it obviously not and I MISSED IT!!!!! *Slams head into desk repeatedly* Grrrrrrrr..... :angry:

Vearl - November 10, 2005 10:26 PM (GMT)
Oh well. :( You'll see it another time.

Baby_Beau - November 10, 2005 10:30 PM (GMT)
I wonder if they'll play "Return of Drakkus 1 & 2" :huh:(on then weekend)

Vearl - November 10, 2005 10:32 PM (GMT)
Probably next week will be Return of Drakkus 1 sometime, and the next week after that will have the other one.

So, I guess Decepshun wasn't a purebred. Strange, I thought a rich kid like Moordryd would get one of the best, why pick a mutt? I wonder if Decepshun's personality has changed any, my guess is that her looks have. I hope on the inside she's still the same dragon, I have the feeling she was one of the few things keeping Moordryd sane. (Cain is another because he's Moordryd's pal.)

I absolutely found this episode interestingly intriguing, and that's why I liked it (even if it had its few flaws). :) They brought back Swayy! Yay! And Pyrrah (who I am still confused about what her true personality is) as well.

Word must have a lot of time on his hands if he tinkers around all his life doing stuff. :P And Moordryd seems like a double agent now. He's pleased to at least try to do what his father wants him to do, but he's also got the EVUL Armeggaddon, whom he's very loyal to.

QUOTE
Cain: *smirks* Does your father miss the pitter-patter of tiny feet around his Citadel? (Or something like that...)


You know, I found this amusing, even more amusing when Moordryd looked annoyed, as though the comment could've referred to him, and then I just completely lost it when I realized the irony of the baby Crow-drag snuggling a very irritated Word. :lol:

Kitt's role seemed rather short of dialogue, though she FINALLY gets her hands on the situation! (And on a mag-staff. Go, Spunky Token Female! :D) Action role for her! Yay!

Artha doesn't seem very annoying anymore, which is a good thing. (And they ACTUALLY used the word "kill". KILL. I thought words like that were forbidden in the show! :blink:)

Mortis is finally potrayed humorously. A rather hard thing to do for a wiseguy like him.

Beau should be arrested for child abuse. I mean, those things ARE evul, violent and shtuff, but they were just hatchlings! <_<

Parm seems to be developing in intelligence. Also, I didn't expect him to be the first to learn how to mag-fire, next to Mortis. :) (IT'S EINSTEIN!!! AAAAAAHHH!!! :lol: However, Parm being electrocuted seemed confusing to me. Perhaps when Beau was struggling and couldn't use his building-up mag-energy, it just let loose? Hmm...) He also seemed like the real hero here.

Lance is acting less wise in here, and also plays another hero and acts quite his age. The Crow-drag attacking him seemed rather good as well, for capturing how birds act. (Anybody else notice Moordryd saying, "Leave the mini brat, Cain!" or something like that? Perhaps, oh...an itsy bitsy teeny weeny little Moordryd/Lance brotherly hint again?

Moordryd calling out to Decepshun was rather good: another sign of the Moordryd/Decepshun relationship. However, Moordryd's desire for power got in the way of his caring side again. (This may be a foreshadow; now that Moordryd has Decepshun as a pure black draconium dragon, he may find the gauntlet, and turn into whatever he needs to be, perhaps this Drakkus character we've heard rumors about.) And I do really think that they should've left off the transmogrification of Decepshun as the last scene, but then again, don't have a really big problem with this one.

And another Word gag, a cute one at that. Aww, the baby Crow-drag thinking that Word was his mommy! ^_^ (Or his daddy. Hehe, look, Moordryd, it's your new baby sister/brother! XDDD)

All in all, good episode. :)

I think so, and this interaction Moodryd-desepshun are soo cute, decepshun always is loyal and maybe some worried about Moodryd. I wish does not change.

Decepshun is fiercely loyal to Moordryd, no matter what. Notice how in "Pride of the Hero", she didn't really react jealously when Moordryd went after Beau. (Or this may be personality in lacking. <_<) And then in "Still Waters Freeze" when Moordryd was going hysterical and raved on about always wanting a gold dragon. Still loyal. (Or the personality lacking thing. <_<) At the same time, Moordryd seems to favor Decepshun as well. See how well Moordryd/Decepshun is. I doubt that they'll be torn apart.

When was this? I didn't see this part. Sob. :unsure:

DragonBooster500 - November 11, 2005 03:09 PM (GMT)
I don't think I saw "Still Waters Freeze". Can someone tell me what happened in dat one? by the way I live in Michigan in the USA!! (Toronto is cool too cuz' i have bin there and its a cool place and I went to Medieval Times there and it was AWESOME!!!"

Absolutely! ^_^ Glad to see more females to balance out the gender ratio (Rob did tell us we would see more females somehow) and Swayy's quite a feisty character, characteristic of the Dragon Eyes. Pyrrah's personality is just as confusing to tell as Wulph's. I hope to see more clarification from these characters.

True, first there was that liquid black draconium, which took him half a lifetime, and now this pod, which cost him another significant part of his seemingly boring lifetime (Doesn't Word do anything else for fun other than do devious, dubious experiments and hang around in his computer room? <_< :lol:). I was surprised that Armageddon was still around to use Morrdryd like a "double agent". Great storytelling here. :)

I wonder what Word did do with the baby crow afterwards. And it also seems like newborn animals already learned some basic skills, like seeing, flying and snuzzling the first thing they see. :lol:

QUOTE

Hooray! She's actually done some battling for once! No longer does the reality of Dragon Booster restrict her prowess for actually fighting back! :D Looking forward to her kicking more tail! (Yes, she actually kicked something!)

QUOTE
Artha doesn't seem very annoying anymore, which is a good thing. (And they ACTUALLY used the word "kill". KILL. I thought words like that were forbidden in the show! )


Well, to be honest, he still seems a bit too overconfident and maybe a bit immature, but somehow he's not as annoying as you said (or maybe because we're already used to him being annoying in the first place :blink: ). I had blatantly laughed at scenes where he flies off Beau in his 360 trick and then got knocked out by one of those spike balls - Beau actually looked rather heroic when saving Artha with that mag-beam while leaping :) . And yes, they used the word "kill" and Artha was the first! :o I thought he'd use something more kid-friendly like "scale" as a verb, when Lance used it in "If It Ain't Broke" to Stewardd(?) to keep him from telling Artha. Now that I think about it, it does seem like a peculiar parallel here. ;)

QUOTE
Mortis is finally potrayed humorously. A rather hard thing to do for a wiseguy like him.


Hooray for all the new goodies, literal and figurative like Mortis' humor use alike! :D

QUOTE

That scene just literally bowled me, just plain funny to see Beau crash into those evil babies like they were lemmings. XD And it seemed like more of a "person of special profession taking out zombie babies" thing than actual child abuse. Now that I think about, half of the episode turned out to be like a horror/Jurrasic Park parody. And you'd think Beau would help out a little bit in keeping the door closed.

He also seemed like the real hero here.


He seems to be acting just like in "Still Water Freezes" - does something that looks like a smart decision, have it backfire in his face with something seemingly irrevocable, and then miraculously figures out a deceptively simple solution at the last second. :rolleyes: But at least this time, he looks cool doing it - I want to know what he said for being able to do mag-fire, the only word I managed to recall from him was "cadnium" or something like that.

QUOTE
Lance is acting less wise in here, and also plays another hero and acts quite his age. The Crow-drag attacking him seemed rather good as well, for capturing how birds act. (Anybody else notice Moordryd saying, "Leave the mini brat, Cain!" or something like that? Perhaps, oh...an itsy bitsy teeny weeny little Moordryd/Lance brotherly hint again?


I think Lance is doing well in his character, after all, being wise means doing the right thing and being childish means doing something in his best interests, which may not mean climbing extremely dangerous towers. And we get see Lance with his own parachute! (So far, only Pyrrah, Moordryd and Lance have built-in parachutes to my memory, hmm, what does this say for our youngest hero? :) ) And yes, it seems odd for Moordryd to leave the mini-brat alone, perhaps he still has feeling back from "Wraith Booster". Also, I think this is another example where Fracshun somehow acts like a guardian to Lance, first urging him to face his fears in "Faster than Fear", and now giving the idea of using the white rappel gear. Go Guardian Frachsun! :D

Other things to comment about:

-What happened to Cyrano, Wyldfyr and Fracshun after this episode? This is exactly like in "Three Times A Hero", where all four of them ride on Beau to escape and the dragon(s) is forgotten somehow, except instead of just Wyldfyr, it's Wyldfyr, Cyrano and Fracshun. <_< You'd think they showed us a short scene of them escaping, at least.

But it's a great episode, nonetheless. ^_^
