Motherland: Fort Salem | After The Storm: Episode 2 | Freeform

[@BadFluffy]

Haha it never fails to amaze me how Eliot can just go on and on about all the characters, at length, especially Alder and all the Motherland history! The bit about Alder losing her ability to bear children when she kinda became the Protector of her kind is just brilliant. That man must have volumes and volumes of notes!

[@dhmhtra375]

I haven't been this invested in a show in a long time! Beautiful world-building, crazy good CGI, amazing characters and really great performances all around! I can't wait to see how the season will progress. Holy sh*t I am so stoked!

[@bricolleen7956]

I was addicted to this show at episode 1. Now I cant stop watching it on on-demand.

[@genesispramis2426]

When the next episode show?

[@raelee411]

What's weird about this is that I am really rooting for Scylla even though she is the antagonist.

[@BadFluffy]

But that's the beautiful thing about the show: there's no real antagonist because the writers always try to maintain a balance in the conflict and doubt and motivations of the main factions. The Spree probably started as a resistance movement against the oppression of Conscription. They've existed for 30 years, give or take and it only seems they have just recently ramped up the viciousness and the body count of their attacks. Since there are no real structure to the Spree, it can just be someone using them to exact revenge, or maybe some of the attacks are from someone else masking them as the Spree. Scylla has lived her whole life on the run. She's been recruited by the Spree for a good reason. There is no villain there. Even Alder, who created the Conscription was just trying to protect the Witches, and has spent several lifetimes doing so.

I truly despise soulless shows that exist only to exploit the current trend of featuring gay characters. This is NOT one of those shows. Two episodes in and the terrific world building, interesting characters, and intriguing STORY have me eager to see what happens next. I hope everyone involved keeps up the excellent work!

[@themakeupism]

William Cordier same loving the fact no one is freaking out that she’s gay and has a gf. It’s like “yep it’s a thing” and they are excited she has a gf like if she had a bf but there’s no big deal over it.

[@agonleed3841]

@@themakeupism there's another problem really....the people who mention it for no other reason either..like you two. The point has ALWAYS been for it to just be.That's it. Some people are like that, some aren't move on. Don't mention it with hate, don't mention it with congrats. They're both equally "cringy" equally aggravating. Just move on

[@taranova222]

This show has managed in two episodes to make itself very intriguing. The dialogue is a bit much at times, but the world building, the characters, and the looming threat have endless potential. Ready for more!

[@Lionspel]

I love the uniqueness of the witchraft in this world. There are many things that confused me yet but that's what makes the show mysterious and not a giveaway all at once. Then about the 'song' as their power is so nice idea. I hope the idea is big and the lore is so wide that fans would be able to hold on to for many seasons.

[@Lionspel]

Oh and I love the actors/characters individuality and how they are developed. Even both three have insecurities, I feel like I cannot hate them. Granted at the first 2 episodes they're fighting and making up like cats and dogs, but at the end, that's what makes their Unit stronger by knowing their strengths and weaknesses like when they open up on each other on the 1st episode. There might be so much they didn't know about the other, but hopefully in the future they'll sort it out. Their chemistry are in sync and at the same time they have 'owned' their character, it reminds me of Hermione, Harry and Ron's camaraderie.

[@brendonsmith3080]

Tally always wanted support from her mom but doesn’t understand how war can be devastating to families. It would be nice to see Raelle and Abigail try to connect with her later over their own mother issues but still have their own problems to deal with. Once that man showed his bigotry towards Tally, she was not going to have it and showed the true strength she had underneath. Fortunately, Tally has found her home with her unit and in Fort Salem🔊🌬🔮🎖🇺🇸🖤

[@LuckyOuijaBoy17]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I can't wait to see how the story and characters develop!!! I love that tall are actually explaining the dialogue and lore of the story between episodes. Can't wait to see my male witches too tho come through!! Hopefully their side is not as black and white either.

[@annatruong0820]

I knew Scylla was not that bad! Let's be open minded, hopefully Raelle will be too 🌈💕

[@jasonmoise3586]

Holly shit this is REALLY well written

[@wyz71]

Another really interesting episode!

[@katieperkins04]

Love it. That’s amazing.

[@Lionspel]

Then there's the military uniform that makes it like a british/colonial America era feel.

[@tonyg3605]

So can’t wait to find out to who Alder’s sister was and her name just wondering 💭

[@lian7092]

awesome XD

[@lolitajurassica6863]

😪 hello, i from Brazil.

[@RheRheSmily]

At some point I want to see a witch that doesn't sign up to the army (other that the mum). Like a parallel of a different road walked

[@agonleed3841]

they're kinda forced to. That's the whole point. Tally is the only one, for some reason, who didn't have to, so far

[@tz19911]

So is alder immortal?

[@peterspoor]

Yeah I thought she was just another descendant, mind=blown

[@HisameArtwork]

@@peterspoor yeah , young witches offer her youth to her and that keeps her alive.

[@jpm5042]

I'm sorry so she sang her song and then her ovaries stopped working? what?

[@kloe6095]

JP M I’m guessing it had an effect on her body like maybe it was to much and something had to go kinda thing

[@devonmorgan7984]

I mean, we did see when Abigail sang as a punishment it hurt her throat and she was coughing up blood. So I suppose it is possible.

[@jpm5042]

Ok but hurting your vocal cords from singing makes more sense than becoming infertile from singing... hadn’t her family already been singing the song for generations?

[@RheRheSmily]

@@jpm5042 I think not all songs are equal. Some have a higher level of difficulty thus more stress on the body. It also looks like emotions hiten the songs power so her witnessing her family dying and the danger she was in might have aplified the song and the toll on the body spreading from her vocalcords to other areas. Just as stress can lead to miscarriage sometimes. I don't know maybe 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@HisameArtwork]

it's magic and paying with your fertility for higher power is a common witch trope, just see Yennier from Witcher series, it's her whole thing...I want my ovaries back!

[@chakawilliams2452]

So the only witches are in America wondering what the other witches covenants around the globe think of all this military stuff hope motherland adds other types of witches besides the spree

[@thatdude123]

Yup

[@agonleed3841]

can we just focus on one thing at a time. We don't need to be bum-rushed with info around the entire globe. It's episode 2

[@HisameArtwork]

ep 3 we got foreign witches, I guess Russia with it's comunism managed to get a male witch as their representative, Japan/Korea has a dude too, I wonder why, ancient Japan was very matriarchal so doesn't really fit, hope they have a good excuse like confucianism or something.

[@BadFluffy]

Anna Costia is not the daughter of soldiers who died in combat, they died in a car accident. This guy is talking crap.
