Satu should give up now, not that she will. Knowing Diana, she probably also published several papers in leading journals, supervised a couple of PhD dissertations and was granted tenure at Yale at the same time. In the time it’s taken Satu to slink about in black and tell everyone that she’s the main witch actually, Diana Bishop has ticked off her to-do list in two different centuries, given birth to twins, and completed her magical training. This is Venice, people, maybe get a gelato and go and look at some Titians? Your centuries-old blood feuds aren’t going anywhere. Even Gerbert told Satu to take a day off and live a little. Until Gerbert, Benjamin and Satu make their move – any move – let’s stop dropping in on their hostile little exchanges. Something else that really has to stop for all our sakes, are the tediously intense-yet-moving-zero-forward Venice scenes. Knox needs to be stopped, and with just three episodes of this show remaining, it needs to happen soon. He swooshed that nice coven witch through a door and then murdered troubled daemon TJ Watson (not to be disrespectful, but has anybody put dibs on his fabulous country house? Call my estate agent). Diana’s method of asking nicely for the book pages has shown far greater success rate than his method, which involves showing up, spitting with rage and threatening everybody with his balls. Speaking of broken things, Peter Knox has, as they say in the medical profession, ‘totally lost his shit’. Doubtless there are plenty of A Discovery of Witches fans willing to offer solace to that particular broken heart… Away he rode into the night on his motorbike of pain. Actor Steven Cree gave us to understand that Gallowglass’ recovery would take considerably longer.
Diana thanked Gallowglass, recognised his anguish, and quickly moved on. Dr Bishop took her vampire nephew’s confession of lifelong love as she does most things – with kindness, equability, and entirely in her stride. There was heartbreak for Gallowglass who understood there was no longer room for him by Diana’s side. It wasn’t all celebration as the Mayfair house filled up with returning travellers. What does this mean for any potential cure? That’s tbc, as is the precise magical nature of the newborns. Something in Matthew, Jack and Benjamin’s human genetics was awakened when they became vampires.
Diana did it the hard way – a reminder that these magical creatures are human too.ĭr Roberts’ work underlined that, as he and Miriam used the New Orleans vampire samples to theorise that the trigger for blood rage is down to human and not creature DNA.
Surely one benefit to witchdom should be the ability to dose up on magical pethidine or to teleport your babies out with one glittery wave of the hand? Not so. I bet that delivery room even smelled of ylang ylang and lavender.ĭiana didn’t use pain relief for her multiples-birth, only a combination of bath salts, humming and Matthew Goode (who should be made available in all good labour wards). No hospital gowns, strip lighting and plastic bedsheets for them – just lightly perspiring gorgeousness. Trust those two to have a silky, romantic labour. Yes, they’ve been born into the middle of a war, but they’ve landed on the winning side, with a mum who’s an all-powerful witch prophesied to change the world, and a dad who drives a Bentley – it’s all the start in life any child needs.Ī good portion of episode four was devoted to the babies’ arrival, which had a characteristic Matthew-and-Diana honeyed glow about it. Though their world is fraught with danger, little Philip and Rebecca are lucky mites. Presumably the babies will be fitted for theirs shortly). Warning: this A Discovery of Witches review contains spoilers.īem vindo, babies! Welcome to A Discovery of Witches, a world of magic, mortal danger, extremely covetable houses, and excellent coats (every character has at least one excellent coat.
