A Discovery of Witches: Episode 5 Discussion Thread
We think the Spice Girls once wrote a song about this. 😂 #ADiscoveryOfWitches #TwoBecomeOne @teresapalmer pic.twitter.com/weTompUmqO

Let me preface this by saying I'm fully on board, and much like Diana I vow to NEVER leave this show that I've only known for three weeks.
But.
Diana is in a defiant mood. You go girl! 🙌 #ADiscoveryOfWitches @teresapalmer pic.twitter.com/zwofRBjJCM

Mathieu Timothee Cumberbatch le Clearmount, let's be clear here: you laughed at Diana last week for saying "I love you" after three weeks and left her in her self-made rain with your weird mom.
But now that you're ready to say it back, you guys are vampire married 4 ever?
BUT ALSO you won't "make love" to her, because it's too soon!?!
I love every second of this wild show and the biggest vampire diva since Angel.
Anyway.
Den of Geek chooses instead to open their review with a discussion on boring old Gillian not dying (even though she should just have died). I swear to God if Mathew made her a vampire I will riot. I'm sure that Louise Brealey is a lovely person, but this character is incredibly annoying and I have no idea what else they plan to do with her (unless she's going to be yet another character who shouts down a phone at Diana).
Meanwhile, back in France, Ysabeau tries her damndest to put out Diana's unquenchable pants-fire for her sexy son. First by eating a fox in front of her, and then by casually announcing that Matthew will never stop loving his dead human wife from literally 1500 years ago. She tells Diana that Matthew probably/definitely committed suicide after the death of his wife and son, and that she sired him in his last dying moments, so that was cool.
Naturally, it doesn't work. Diana, wearing a chic poncho/wrap, announces dramatically that she will NEVER LEAVE the man she met less than a month ago who has repeatedly warned her that he's kind of a shitty dude to spend the rest of your life with. But, I mean, he wears the hell out of a suit. So what can she do?
The real MVP of this episode is Hamish (Fresh Meat's Greg McHugh) who manages not to roll his eyes at his incredibly corny BFF, gives him some solidly foolish advice about following his heart, and tries -- for a moment -- to make something about him before Matthew insists on his pain and love being the most important thing of all time. That said, I did genuinely find the "I love you" between two supernatural bros quite cute.
Was this the best stupidly entertaining episode yet? I say yes.
