Did not seem interesting to you that Alana's true form looked as one of Rumina's harpies? It was only a question of the budget, but when I was younger I suspected if she did not secretely work for Rumina who wished to gain the sword for her biggest wish (which was fulfilled by Scratch one episode later).

Ah, this is one of my favourite eps as well.  And I was actually wondering about the same there, Manche: whether Alana was as powerful as to shape-shift into a Harpy, or whether she was a Harpy to begin with. Though, considering that the Isle of Bliss blocks every kind of magic, she really is a human sorceress because else her human skin would have been a disguise and made my magic which would have meant that she'd stayed a Harpy on the Isle and wouldn't have been able to conjure her human form.  I saw the similarity as well. Though that's probably due to all Harpies looking the same? |

Yes, it makes sense, dear Doubar. So she was able to transform into the Harpy only, she was a human being. If her true form was the Harpy, she would not have the human form on the island. She also tried to persuade the crew once again in the cave, it would be hard if she had this Harpy's camouflage.
You are right, all Harpies looked same, but there was not a reason why she transformed herself into a Harpy in the plot. (the reason is the budget).

Now concerning a Bryn-centred ep: hm, now that's true indeed. There wasn't really one or was there? She was a main character in A Gryffin's Tale and Beast of the Dark. But we didn't necessarily learn something about her there. Maybe though she would have had her own ep in S3, just like Rongar had his in S2? When we think about this, we find more about Maeve in the episodes which were not centered on her (Double Trouble and The Trickster revealed a lot of about her, although these episodes were more orientated on the whole crew) in comparison with Still Life and especially The Ties That Bind (although I like this episode very much, we did not find anything new about her there). |
