Reels of Steel: Outlander, Part 3

…Continued from Part 2


With the Monk obliterated, the Moorwen focuses its rage on Kainan and Wulfric, chasing them to the trap. When the both of them go in, they re-enact the shields game, and Wulfric falls into the lantern oil pit the Vikings filled to set the Moorwen ablaze.


With Wulfric out of the pit, the Vikings open fire with flame tipped arrows, setting off the lantern oil with the Moorwen still inside and in an explosion of success, they managed to destroy the Moorwen.


While everybody is celebrating the destruction of the Moorwen, the baby Moorwen decides to join in on the fun and attack the hall where the women and children are in.


Eric, the orphan child of the village, notices the baby Moorwen and tells Freya of it’s existence and the women and children scream in fear and utter panic. The best part of this scene is Freya screaming like the rest of the women one second, and the next she draws her sword with an even bigger display of bravery to engage the baby Moorwen. One thing I like about Sophia Myles portrayal of the character she plays is the killer 1 - 2 combo throughout the film. On the one hand, she can be very feminine, and on the other she can be fierce with no remorse to gender roles.


Back to the exploding trap, the Vikings hear the women and children’s plight, and as they are about to react to their distress calls, mama Moorwen re-emerges from the ball of fire, angrier now more than ever before.


King Gunnar makes a “Charge of the Light Brigade” style attack for the Moorwen with no regard to his previous engagement and manages to strike it with a axe, with the end result being the same as the first time, except for a fatal outcome.


Back at the hall, King Rothgar tries to kill the baby Moorwen but it manages to succeed in that capacity.


The day after, Wulfric is now the King of the Heorot, albeit a kingdom that now seeks to abandon it’s home in the wake of impossible odds against the Moorwen.


A handful of Vikings, Kainan, Wulfric, and Freya decide to stay behind and to try and slay the monster. They have come to the conclusion they need better weapons and Kainan says he can procure such material from his downed vessel at the bottom of the lake. Kainan, Wulfric and Freya go to the middle of the lake and Kainan plunges to the bottom.


As Kainan prepares the material to send it to the surface, the Moorwen decides to do what it does best, show up and wreak havoc on everything in it’s sight. The boat all 3 rode to the middle of the lake is now destroyed with Freya missing. I told you the Moorwen was a moustache twiddling villain.


Kainan and Wulfric go back to the village and begin forging the Metal from the spaceship into a kick ass sword that would have made for a kick ass pendant.
