Not exactly perfect but still a very good episode in the first half
Having not read the books, I've watched the first season of this show. The first and third episodes were good and while not in the same league episode 2 had some improvements.

Episode 4 has the same problems as the last three. It does have the same standard fantasy cliches and the script could've used some fixing in some moments like the forced love triangle that could've been developed more.

However, there are still some things to like. Many Bennett and John Rhy Davies continue to impress and most importantly, the rest of the actors including the actor who played Will Ohmsford have been getting better with confidence. The production design is stylish and gorgeous, the CGI continues to be better, and the music score continues to be good as did the atmospheric moments this episode had.

Overall, not a classic episode but still very good though it still has a long way to go. :)

What was that ending...

Warning: Spoilers
OK so the episode started out good, I liked the whole hide and seek for the changeling. But the ending was just so dumb?! The druid broke changeling's neck so they just think "ok he's surely dead now!" ? (The changeling was the biggest threat of all the first episodes) and then sent just ONE person to burn him? I hate these lame scenes that don't make sense in series.. I want a bit more realistic and mature "decisions" of the characters otherwise I'm gonna lose a lot of interest in it. It feels so much alike all the old TV shows where bad things happen for really stupid reasons..like, someone gives another person a warning and they brush off the warning for no reason just to say "oh no stop being silly" and the next thing you know is that everybody dies because of that person.
