Yes, she was really able to fight against Vorgon for a quite long time. He had to absorb millions of people during his life. It would be a hard task for every magician, even Turock with his power would not have been able to defeat him.

It is written in the first post in this thread. It is a very weak explanation for his absence. it would be more dignified if he died in the fight with the creature, for example.
When I watched the second season for the first time I was not satisfied with the most of its episodes. I liked this episode and the episode The Castle Keep. I watched the second season again after a few years and my attitude has changed, I had different opinions to episodes, I liked more of them. And The Beast of Basra stayed my second favourite episode, after Hell House.

It is a nice video, I am not a big fan the relationship between Sinbad and Bryn, but it is the great video

A great episode, together with Hell House the best from the second season. There was shown a strong connection between Doubar and Sinbad, there were presented some emotions among the crew. I did not expect the twist with the tranformation of Doubar into the werewolf. And I positively accepted the fact that the mayor of the city (Albetta I think) was not a bad guy in the end, he was decribed this way at the beginning of the episode.
I probably missed it, but in which part was mentioned that Omar fled before the creature? It really sounds very strangely for his character. I do not understand the reason for this, it was not probably the problem of money, when they were able to typecast him into another role a few episodes later.

Ah, and true about the emotional aspect - it was indeed a turning point when they found out the victims are not yet lost. Although I must admit I never really expected them to be truly gone anyway. Wouldn't have fit the concept of a show to kill off several main characters in one go. xP I agree that it does not sound so much probably for the concept of this tv show. But during the first half of the episode was all situation described in the way that everybody who vanished is gone. So I expected that the crew finds a way for leaving quickly and that they leave before the loss of any member. Maybe with usage of Firouz's invention or with the usage of Maeve's magic. And suddenly Dermott vanished, after this situation Maeve found a possible cause of this situation, so I expected that they kill him and save themselves and the rest of villagers. And the next scene was the scene with vanished Rongar, I hoped that something happens and he stays, but my hope failed. I really believed for the moment that he is gone forever ( I did not expect that we will lose all main characters but one of them? Sometimes happens). One question, when Belkor vanished? I am not sure if it was shown, he talked with Sinbad by the Milasco's house for the last time. I am not sure, if he was shown by the wall during Maeve's attempt to make the hole here.

I have watched the episode Stalkers recently. There was a scene, when Sinbad kissed Bryn. In comparison with the similar scene from The Village vanishes it did not pose well here. In The Village vanishes it was the great scene, it was spontaneous and in this was the greatest charm. In Stalkers it seemed forcibly, in the style: "They have not kissed until this time, we must write into the script a similar scene." The reaction of the crew, in the first season they were surprised, but not in a negative way. There it looked, that this situation was very unpleasant for them.

I am glad, that my ideas sounds well. I think that we do not find any better explanation for this situation.
Maybe it was the first episode, when Maeve began to admit herself the feelings for Sinbad directly. She tried to deny them until this time in my opinion. I think that this realisation started earlier by Sinbad, probably after the events from the episode Still life.

The only scene which I have in my memory, which showed a connection between Bryn and Firouz was from the episode Heart and Soul, when he tried to save her before the death. I do not remember any scene Bryn with Rongar.
And I forgot the great emotional moment from this episode. The scene, where Maeve showed the picture of the vanished people. The Rongar's move of the hand said: "please, help me." and the surprise and the shock of our heroes, that there still exists a chance for them. Until this moment, we believed that all vanished people are lost forever. After dissapearance of Dermott I thought, that he is gone forever, and I expected that the crew will find the way, how resolve the situation before the loss of the next member. And suddenly the next member was gone. I started to fear that the crew will not return to the ship complete.

I have absolutely NO idea! xP It wasn't logical at all for Rumina to try seducing Maeve. But I will list it as attempted fanservice to both female and male watchers. *shrugs* >.> It could be a new trick of Rumina. She wanted to beguile her for the case that the Omar's guards would find them. A small help would be useful ( a silly explanation is better than none). Or it was only the play for the Rumina's joy. She probably hoped that Maeve admits some feelings for Sinbad. After this she probably wanted to changed into her true form and killed her with words: "It is nice, but you have never got the opportunity to say it to him."

The Ronin is a good example of his effort to protect her, he was afraid of her. The scene when his head appeared in the tent was very nice, very nice was the scene when he followed her after her leaving of the camp. He maybe thought about her as a little sister. It is really strange, that he had not more feelings for her after her dissapearance. His friendship with Bryn was different, I had suspicion that he had some romantic feelings for her.
The friendship between Maeve, Firouz and Rongar was decribed very well. It is horrible, that the writers did not give an opportunity to them express some feelings after her dissapearance. It looked that they did not care about her. We know that it is not truth. In the comparison with it i did not see any big connection between Bryn, Firouz and Rongar. Bryn had a connection with Sinbad and Doubar, but I do not remember many scenes where was shown her connection with Firouz and Rongar.
The thing with Vorgon. He was there, when Firouz demonstrated his invention. He probably thought that this device can not defeat him or that Firouz is only person who is able to work with it.

Yes, it was worse. The devil who used this spell against Sinbad and Tetsu was decribed as a very powerful demon. It is a suprising fact that he used such strange magic.

The same thing was done with Rongar, it was even worse. Sinbad warned him and he followed them without troubles.
A very ridiculous scene was the scene with the light, which tried to kill Sinbad. I was laughing for a long time.

But he probably knew about this device, he saw it in action. Maybe he thought that the only person who can work with it is Firouz and he was gone.
If the purpose of this was making the scene more suspenseful, it was not done very well. The shore must have been very close (Rongar was ashore during a few seconds) and without any reason Jakar stopped swimming and he only shouted at Rongar: "Please, Pull me"
I have never thought about the friendship between Maeve and Doubar from this side, but it sounds very well. He really looked there that he regrets Sinbad more. (The thing with risking of the own life, I think that Doubar would do this thing for anyone from the crew.) And Firouz and Rongar's attitudes were even worse, any interest about her fate.
Characters were really more interesting in the first season. Except the people, who are mentioned above for example: Omar, his advisors, Eyolf, Vincenzo, Goz, Mustapha, Aleana, Serandib, Trickster, Belkor, Aptor, Plunkett... From the second season I would think, except the people who you mentioned, about Velda.
