I did understand how much was going on with the other characters, so there just wasn’t much room for my favorite couple. There wasn’t much of the Oracular Comedy and Surfing hour, even as they played a key role in the “Spot the Goddess” sweepstakes. You’re gonna need it.” Scary emo twin couple powers activate! And hopefully Ty won’t be “accidentally” walking into too many doors, if you catch my drift. I’d sacrifice my favorite Oracles to spend more screen time with Hod and Hel.

I can’t wait for Series 2 to see how the newlyweds get along. To hel with the rest of the Johnsons and the quest for Frigg.

This wasn’t Ben-singing-and-dancing-naked-with-a-container-of-milk-as-figleaf. It takes a gifted actor to bring that to the screen without going overboard. It’s not just about accidentally putting your girlfriend in the hospital with an ice-cold touch. Exposing Hod to the viewer went a long way to explain Ty. And that was as welcome as it was shocking. We’ve seen Ty-the-human suffer from being afflicted by Hod-the-god but in this episode, Turner showed us Hod unleashed. Instead the writers and Turner did something entirely unexpected. From being dumped in the pilot, to exploring his ability to love and be loved with Idunn, through his sweet yet doomed romance with Dawn, Turner could have simply portrayed a basic tragic character trying to save his brother and make the best of a bad situation with Eva. As his character Ty explained to Mike, he had been following his own path of destiny throughout - regardless of whether his actions eventually provided a get-out-of-jail-free card for his brother. īetween his incredible work on episodes 9 and 10, and his earlier strong performances in 3 and 6, Turner owned this series. Turner didn’t just switch things up, he brought down the house. Ty’s agony at ending his relationship and his obsessive need to make things right for Dawn powered scene after scene after scene. It would have been very very easy for the writers to leave things at that, with a basic “it’s not you, it’s me” scene - but they didn’t. Things quickly got rather dark (and cold, of course) as Ty fought his better nature (i.e., not Hod) to break things off with Dawn. Yes, I did have a few quibbles about this episode, which I will briefly touch on in a bit, but let me start with what I liked, particularly Ty’s story.

If it truly was Tim Balme who greenlit this production in his role as Head of Development at South Pacific Pictures, then dude deserves a raise. Strong writing, great acting, and many other fine touches (including superb music and costuming ) contributed to create a truly worthy and memorable experience on this lovingly crafted show. With Ty’s struggle to break from Dawn for her own good, his and Eva’s low-key goth wedding, Anders’ delicious villainy, Axl’s renewed bond of friendship with Zeb (and his tentative grasp at true love), and Mike’s emotional rebirth, everything came together to allow Episode 10 to deliver a nearly perfect ending to the show’s first series. The Almighty Johnsons finished its first run on an absolute story telling high note.
