We speculated if Maeve was able to communicate with animals as Bryn and now I found in this episode the proof that she is. She was talking with this squirell after the dissapearance of Dermott and thanks to her, she realized that Vorgon had to be behind this spell.
I never realized that it was like this because our dubbing was inaccurate in this case (and in this episode a lot of). When Maeve mentioned that the strange beast was running among the walls of the decomposed village, it looked that the crew was the wittness of this in our dubbing (the Czech language), but it was the squirell (which makes sense, the crew was there during the day - Vorgon was already in Milasco's body in the village when the crew arrived to the island) as Vorgon sucked only people, not animals.
For the interest, in our dubbing of this episode were next inaccuracies, some relatively minor, different were more important.
These were more important:
Czech language
It was mentioned that Milasco was a merchant (nothing about it in the original) and was not clearly said that he is a inhabitant of the village. I always thought that he visited the island only because of his trades and was imprisoned in the village only accidentally (I could realize that I was wrong as he had a house in the village and if he arrived to this island for trade, he would have a means of transport to get away).
In Czech dubbing, it was said that the attack of branches was aimed to Milasco, but in the original Sinbad referred to Maeve as the target.
The mentioned scene with the talk between Maeve and Sinbad where is explained how they found about Vorgon.
There were some minor mistakes as well - for example Belkor proclaimed in the original that Milasco visited the east village last week, in our dubbing it was last month. Or when they did not manage to get the barrell over the wall, Cassandra mentioned that three people vanished during the last hour in the original, in the Czech dubbing it was only one person.
I am writing it only because I never realized how different was the translation in our language different from the original. I like this episode to pieces and these differences did not influence the meaning dramatically (except this scene with the squirell, it was a little confusing for me) so I never noticed it.

A good notice with Rongar, he must have realized what happened to Firouz and helped him to get out of it. With others it was different - Trickster ended their hallucination when it seemed convinient to him ? We talk about it that he could frighten them to death literally, but it would not be in his best interest to kill them actually, don't you think? He made this charade because he was bored, if they died, he would not have anybody to play with and would be bored again.
And you are right, Rumina managed to escape, but she did not realize that it was an illusion. But contrary to others, she was not threated by it anymore, or do you think otherwise?
And I am still a little surprised that Maeve did not feel anything strange, especially that Rumina decided to choke her and with such force, it is not the style of Rumina.

I must say that I do not have much time for reading at the present time, but I still follow a few nice stories. This looks amazingly. I also continue with my own writing, I have more written than I published there, but I also sometimes wish that there would be more reading of my story, sometimes my motivation for writing is shaky.

Hello Doubar,
how are you? I am glad to see you again.
I was also watching some episodes of Sinbad recently and I was surprised for the first time when I found that our dubbing of Village Vanishes has a lot differences from original.
And I think that this thing with Rongar was mentioned there somewhere, but you are really right, Rongar was the only one who managed to end his nightmare alone, without any help. He and Rumina more precisely. He had to live on his own a lot of time after leaving Bollnah and relied only on himself (or Mustapha maximally).

I started to read your last story today, I will need more time for whole reading, but the beginning was impressive. Poor Maeve, I would not wish her anything like this, I wanted to hug her. Good job, dear MJ.

There is no pressure, dear MJ. I would prefer reading of stories before some of my duties anytime, but I must care about my duties in the first place.

Dear MJ, I am definitely very curious of your stories. I plan to read more of them, but I am quite busy in last months. I started to read some different stories and I progress only very slowly, so I will probably read your story for a longer time as well. I do not have much time for my own writing as well, unfortunately the days when I could read stories or write my own almost every day are long gone. But please, do not give it up. That you create a great story about Sinbad is definitely amazing and I am looking forward to read it.

At the beginning of the episode, Jullaner returned to the pub only seconds after Plunkett and his men were kicked out by the crew. Should not she meet them in front of the entrance? They could tell her that they were attacked by a group of pirates inside - and she would probably believe them. But there would not be an episode if it happened this way, right?
And Sinbad had quite problems in his fight with this guy Plunkett, did not he? He got a few solid blows during the fight. This was one of rare fights when he evidently had troubles to defeat his opponent.

And should not the crew be more suspicious of Bakbuk when he appeared in the castle? They saw him pretty close to the house of the first victim and this victim warned them before not taking of these dolls. They certainly did not have any direct evidence about his quilt, but still.
And Bakbuk quite risked when he decided to kill this man before the beginning of his small action, did not he? Maybe he was forced to do it because this man discovered or sensed something, but it could alert all other adventurers and seriously endanger his plan.

It always makes me laugh the scene when Doubar caused mass escape of prisoners and he did not notice it at all because he was so excited about his meeting with Sinbad. Similarly I like the scene when Doubar and Mustapha arrived to save Sinbad. ("What are you waiting for?" "For me, I guess." especially and how Mustapha made a way through the crowd).
And do you think that Admir really wanted to eat Firouz when he invited him to his cabin? It would be suspicious if our inventor disappeared suddenly.

I noticed something interesting in Passengers, only in terms of showed parts of the below deck. With the guest room and the cabin of Bryn we also see a storage room(?) where is Doubar imprisoned after his rebellion against Sinbad. It is not much furniture there evidently and it is not shown where this room is concretely located. It looks as the same place which was used for the imprisoment of Uruck in Monster.
One more question, when were Doubar, Rongar, Bryn and some crewmen imprisoned in the below deck in A City Under Plague, it was supposed to be in the galley or in a cabin? Anybody remembers?
One more interesting piece of information, I write down all episodes where we can see more from the ship than the board.
The first season.
1. The Return of Sinbad, Part Two - Rongar went into the cabin of Admir (and maybe Casib as well) which is supposed to be located opposite of the stairs in the galley, definitely not the same room from The Isle of Bliss and The Siren's Song. We also do not see any light from the grid there 2. Little Miss Magic - Doubar enters to the mysterious storage room which should be located under the tiller in the galley. 3. The Prince Who Wasn't - We can see the galley there. 4. The Masked Marauders - Sinbad enters into the galley (?) where Maeve is talking with Dym Dim. It does not look as her cabin, it is opposite the stairs (where should be the cabin according The Return of Sinbad, Part Two) and it looks as the separate part of the galley (by big wooden columns) as we do not see any doors in this scene. 5. The Siren's Song - We can see the galley and the guest room which is located right to the stairs. Firouz is working in the separated part of the galley at the beginning. 6. The Isle of Bliss - We can see the guest room which is located right to the stairs.
The second season 1. Ali Rashid and the Thieves - Sinbad enters into galley (?) where boys are sleeping and Bryn comes out of the room for guests. But there is something missing (the windows by the sides). Maybe there really is the corridor behind the galley and at the end is a storage room where they all sleep. And Bryn is in a separate cabin? 2. Monster - Pirates who go to capture Uruck turn left in the galley and they enter into the long corridor where they enter into his cabin which is on the right side of the corridor. Next pirates go straight in the galley and they got into the cabin of Bryn (?) because Bryn screams the warning after which the boys enter from the neighbouring room. After the fight pirates run though the door towards the galley and back to the board evidently. 3. Passengers - We can see the galley and the guest room (Kundalini) on the left side to the stairs. We can see the cabin of Bryn which is right to the stairs (the same room from The Isle of Bliss and The Siren's Song probably). The room where is Doubar imprisoned is left to the stairs, it must be in the corridor which is behind this guest room. It does not work with the previous episode where pirates entered into the corridor which was straight, now is leading to the left. The crewman Strock later hears the daughter of Kundalini, he is in this corridor by the guest room (it looks that he is the one who guards Doubar). And we have the magically tranportated room of Bryn in this episode as well. There is also shown an unknown cabin where are put the bodies of dead people (somewhere in the corridor). And there are some next doors seen as Bryn is checking the corridor and she is attacked by Masari there. 4. A city Under Plague - We can see the galley and the cabin (?) where is the crew imprisoned. It could be the cabin of Bryn according the position. 5. The Empress - We can see the galley.
So, it is all. I will add some photos later, maybe.

When Sinbad talked with Maeve about his mistakes (when she blamed herself from the loss of Dermott), he mentioned the loss of Dim Dym and how he misses friends which could be alive if he decided differently as the captain. I know that such people must have been more, but it would not be cool if he mentioned the loss of Mustapha in this scene? Do you think that it could be a possible reference to him? And do you think that people who vanished were still able to realize themselves, communicate among themselves or watch the events in the real world? Or they were like ghosts unable to do or realize something? And especially those who disappeared very quickly and suddenly (like Firouz and some villagers) maybe realized that they were taken over by the curse as the others after their reappearance only? Unless Sinbad had managed to indeed end his own life despite the Vorgon being keen on not letting that happen, there would hardly have been anything else to do. Even if he managed it, it would not stop Vorgon. He probably could return a empty body of a different crewmember (I guess that Doubar would be the most probable choice) and use it as a vessel for himself. He probably did the same thing with Milasco (poor Milasco, I hope that he got dignified funeral at least) and he could do it with Sinbad as well. Or maybe he was able to suck the life's strength without disappearing of a body when there was the last person only in a place.

Yeah, it's a little sad that the minor crewmen don't really get to do much apart from die. x) But I guess that just comes with a show that has a crew of several people as their main cast anyway. At some point it can get confusing to focus on too many people at once. Though, yeah, still it would have been a nice notion to see some crewmen cheer in the background. This is something which I can easily understand that main characters have the focus on them and the minor do not. But i think that there are certain situations when they should show a reaction to something, however minimal. And the return of their captain (who was probably considered to die in the storm) is a good example of such a situation. Look at the Village Vanishes - although the central focus after reappearing of people is on Maeve/Sinbad (and the reaction of the crew to their kiss) we can still see villagers celebrating their survival in the background, which is a natural thing, they were all at the threshold of death a minute ago. He has a certain resemblance to him, I am not sure of the exact extent of this. Maybe I am only imaginating things too much...

I know that minor crewmen do not get much care, but do not you think that they could show their reaction (at least minimal) to the fact that their beloved captain survived the storm ? No, they are only standing in the background without any reaction, while main characters are talking together.
And did you notice that one of crewmen who died in the lake was visually quite similar to Firouz? If an accidental spectator saw only a piece of the episode, he could gain the impression that it was Firouz who died in the lake.

Haha, yeah, those dry clothes... I noticed them, too! Whoa, but really! We see Mustapha up in the Crow's Nest? Is it really the ep "The Bully" though, because I can't seem to find that particular scene. *scratches head* I can not say it for sure, but it looks as the reused scene from the Return of Sinbad where Firouz and Sinbad were looking towards the Island of Dawn with Mustapha in the crow's nest in the background. You can compare it in these two videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQTHKR_tUcY (the time 5:23-5:26) and www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENJZCj5ZRjQ (the time 1:11-1:12). It looks as the same scene, only shorter in Bully.
