Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, S01E06- The Black Tower (Patreon)

Good morning to my beloved and esteemed Patrons! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend and I'm going to try and give you a wonderful week full of fun goodies. 

I don't have a Broad-Cast episode this week due to scheduling conflicts, so I'm going to give you another Strange & Norrell episode back-to-back, essentially, with the last one. I had forgotten a great deal about how the story continues at this point, and I can't tell you how much I have been enjoying the BBC series. I can't wait to watch the finale episode! We might  actually post that one this week as well, that remains to be seen. 

In this episode, Jonathan manages to enchant a mouse to get the essence of madness from it, and thus is able to see the Gentleman. Which, of course, pisses the Gentleman off no end, and causes him to be set right in the crosshairs. Not quite as much, however, as Vinculus, whom the Gentleman strings up from a tree as a means of consoling himself since he can't kill the damnable magician. 

So Jonathan is trapped in a Tower Of Endless Night, and he gets Drawlight to carry some messages back to Lady Pole and to Childermass before promising, "I am coming." The episode ends with a column of ravens breaking through the mirror in Norrell's library, and it looks like the men who have taken another mill up north (to the consternation of parliament) weren't wrong when they said that the Raven would return to England. 

This was some excellent television, and if you're not watching it, I implore you to do so. You won't regret it, I promise.

Thank you so much for pledging, and see you tomorrow!
