The Bride: "Sorry."
Nina: "Go. Fuck. Yourself."
Okay, this one was better and it had two bizarre sex scenes in it. It also had two brilliant fight scenes and a really fun exploration of The Bride Of Frankenstein to boot.
If the first episode was about setting up the team, then from this episode onwards, we're clearly getting the proper backstories for each member of Project M. First up, The Bride herself.
Yes, she was created by Victor Frankenstein (Peter Serafinowicz) in order to be the perfect partner for the more entitled Eric but she hated him on sight. Even worse for Eric was the Bride's love for Victor, so Eric ended up killing him and a centuries long feud between the Bride and Eric has been a thing ever since.
In the current day though when the Bride wasn't sniping at Nina and looking for the titular necklace, there was the issue of Circe. Yes, Circe knew how to make an entrance and the violent smackdown between Circe and The Bride was something to behold. The fight sequences in this show have been astounding so far.
By the end of the episode, Circe and her incel Sons of Themyscira losers had captured both The Bride and Nina. While that was happening, Flag Sr was getting more intimately acquainted with the Princess and Phosphorus was more aggrieved that he couldn't do anything right according to Flag Sr.
- This episode had G.I. Robot mistook Phosphorus for a Nazi. Phosphorus also seemed to understand Weasel.
- Circe hitting The Bride with an iron rod did remind me of something involving two other characters.
- Yes, we got a sex scene between The Bride and Victor Frankenstein.
- Chronology: The flashbacks spanned from 1831 to 1991 for The Bride and her attempts to get away from Eric.
The Tourmaline Necklace certainly added a newish spin to The Bride and Frankenstein while giving a series of excellent fight scenes to match. Overall, a stronger episode than the first one.
Rating: 8 out of 10
