188: Netflix miniseries Episode 4 Part 1: The Bridges

I admit, I like the scene of the Watership rabbits returning. I think it is the highlight of this episode (not just your episode, but the entire part 4!)

The book Woundwort wasn't as much of a bully. He was on the point of being made to give up the chase of the Watership rabbits by the counsel when Campion returned with news of the location of Watership Down. This Woundwort listens to no one else

This part also had me baffled first time I watched the miniseries. The boat scene is for me something like a trademark of Watership Down, cutting it out is leaving a bitter mark. Especially weird it is that the Efrafans really can be scattered by one bird, in the book and movie Woundwort is surprised and startled once by Kehaar after this he has taken control again and only the ploy with the boat is what let the Watership Down rabbits escape. It feels like they wanted to redeem Kehaar after depicting him as a jerk the last two episodes. The flashback of Woundwort is also weird. Why choosing the foxes and not the farmer like it was in the book? This would have given a stronger impression.

The flashback was...interesting. I like what they were trying to do, but I think there could be a better way to show the flashback. (Old film seems too human-surely some rabbitish way of showing it would be better)
