GC13 and David discuss Spirit Balls from Summer Camp Island.
Ah, 10 years before Betsy. Isn’t it nice to be able to place things on a timeline? We get another look at Mallory in this episode, but it’s Emma we really get a dive into. But… Do we actually understand her any better?
No, no, all we have is questions. If Spirit Balls didn’t make you wonder then you weren’t paying attention, but seeing what the witches were up to in the past is always a treat.

Episode 357: Spirit Balls

TV & Film

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Job from Hilda.
It took the final season of the series, but we finally got to meet Hilda’s father: Anders! He’s sadly no bellkeeper, but he’s a wandering adventurer with a pathological aversion to commitment—and it hasn’t been doing good things to his daughter’s family life.
And this clearly won’t be the time for Anders to stick around and finally be Hilda’s dad, but on the balance it’s probably best that he got kidnapped by our shadowy figures rather than being pulped by a troll.

Episode 506: The Job (from Hilda)

GC13 and David discuss The Laughing Merman from Hilda.
It’s the one and only episode featuring the one and only Eugene. Are you sad that we don’t have a fourth season? Knowing that this is all of the Eugene we’ll ever have is just a sad way to think about a great episode.
And the Freaky Friends also add a new member: Louise! Is this just missed opportunities: the episode? Oh well, we’ll always have season four in our hearts, and maybe Louise will make a couple of minor appearances…

Episode 505: The Laughing Merman (from Hilda)

GC13 and David discuss The Giantslayer from Hilda.
He may not be tall, and he may not be strong, but the Giantslayer has a mission: annoy all the giants until they feel bad and leave. Hilda’s sad to see them go of course, but Halvor is very keen on it.
Do you wish the giants had stuck around? Do you think they owed something to humanity? Most importantly of all, do you think that humans owe anything to elfkind for… Well, everything?

Episode 504: The Giantslayer (from Hilda)

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Fairy Mound from Hilda.
Can you imagine any episode where Hilda learns what fairy mounds are and her not going to get stuck in one? Because while this may not be Astrid’s finest moment, she also really wants a visit.
Oh well, now we’re headed back to Trolberg. But it looks like a little piece of Tofoten is on its way to see Hilda. We’re not out of the fairy realm yet.

Episode 503: The Fairy Mound (from Hilda)

GC13, Soren, and David discuss The Train to Tofoten from Hilda.
With the movie over it’s time for another season, sadly the final season of the show. But we have eight great episodes to look forward to!
We’re having a wonderful vacation to Tofoten! It’s great to have met Hilda’s great-aunt Astrid, and her neighbor the Pooka too. (Hey, his desire to not eat an egg sent the team on a great adventure, and as an added bonus, he can squirm like a live plooka. If you know you know.)
