Untamed: bringing the "ow"

[branchandroot]

Okay, I made it to ep 29 of The Untamed without too much more than a wince, and then 29 proceeded to a) kill me with the adorable and b) shatter my heart into tiny little pieces.

I mean, damn, that was some NiF levels of calculated cruelty to the viewer, there.

The pacing still suffers from drawing out every emotional moment about three times longer than it really needs to be, but this episode's one-two punch of "cute!" and then "ow, ow, ow" was very well executed.

That sounds about right.

I will say: I was a HUGE critic (and mocker) of the pacing on my first watch, but it by and large stopped bothering me on rewatches, and a lot of the 'draggier' scenes felt more like "things I like having welcome room to breathe" than actual drag. Could be that it's just my brain being impaired by now, but, anecdata from a former fellow "OMG THE PACING!!" person.

*laughing* I believe it. If it was a re-watch, I'd probably have something in my hands to do, for when I /know/ I can look away.
