Atlantis - The Marriage of True Minds - Advance Preview + Dialogue Teasers

Share on Reddit



With the wedding to Prince Telemon arranged, the future wellbeing of Atlantis is secured. All that is left is for the couple to travel to Aegina in order to gain his father’s blessing on the union. There are many dangers on the road ahead however. Pasiphae and the Colchean army are still on the lookout for the new Queen, and would be more than happy to dispatch her if the moment were to arise. Yet Ariadne feels that she must do what is best for her city, therefore with Jason and friends along to help protect her, she must undertake this perilous journey.

I hadn’t realised that the show was going to be taking a running arc quite so literally this season until this episode. This isn’t the second of a two part story, as I had originally thought. Instead it is the next instalment in what appears to be one epic journey for the characters, which I can see continuing until at least the mid-season break. Jason’s myth tends to told as a long, involved saga, so I feel that this is the right approach for the show to take too. It certainly makes for a more absorbing adventure. Any exposition is handled well for the new viewers who happen to be tuning in, so I doubt any of them would be lost or not understand where what is going on.

There is a little more humour in this week’s episode; my only criticism of Telemon’s was that it was a lacking in that department. The partnership between Pythagoras and Hercules continues to be my favourite draw this season. Emms and Addy have struck the perfect balance on their character’s comradery as they share the secret of Jason’s parentage.

There are some interesting names that crop up in the guest cast this week. Interestingly there is another Argonaut introduced, Orpheus, who we meet with his wife Eurydice (played by Ronald Pickup and Sian Thomas). Like Telemon they both appear to have a different path ahead than one that includes a jaunt aboard the Argo itself, though they do appear to be important to Jason’s destiny. With them is Diagoras (John Light), who could be based on a number of historical characters. He is more of a mystery for now, but I assume that we will learn more about him when we pick up the tale in The Day of the Dead.


The Marriage of True Minds airs on Saturday 6th December at 8.15pm on BBC 1 and BBC 1 HD in the UK, and at 9pm on BBC America. Below are a few dialogue teasers to see you through until then. Don't forget to come back to vote in our poll after the episode and let us know what you thought.
