shadow and bone best cast moments (season 2) 

She looks so light😂

The last episode seems to imply that Alina used the forbidden technique, and it feels like it will replace Darkling as the new Lord of Darkness. I plan to read the original book to explore the next plot! ! Has anyone read the original?

@@GarnetEve121 I read it on Romance Novel APP. It's more affordable there.

I believe that the next season (if it gets renewed, everybody cross your fingers and pray for the best) is based off of King of Scars, Nikolai's duology, and I think you'll enjoy what happens if they follow the plot!

@@GarnetEve121 I have! Feel free to ask any questions, but I also agree with your theory!

Thanks 😊

👍

Beautiful

I haven’t read the books, could you explain to me how the connection should work?

@@kristynahrdlickova891 _(Sorry, this got kinda lengthy!)_ In the books, only the person who took an amplifier's life in their hands while it was still alive could use it. It's a much less physical thing than in the tv series. Even though amplifiers are physical objects, they do not physically meld into people's bodies like what happens in the tv series. Ordinarily, this means that the amplifier belongs to whoever killed it[ so only the grisha who actually took its life can ever use it], so typically an amplifier can only ever be used by just one grisha & a grisha can typically only use just one amplifier ever; but because Alina took the Stag's life in her hands when she chose to save/spare its life[ since Mal tried to kill it just so that the Darkling couldn't but she prevented Mal from doing so & then also refused to kill it herself as well despite having full opportunity to have done so if she'd actually wanted/chosen to], before the Darkling then killed it himself, this meant that the Stag's amplifier became both hers and the Darkling's. Essentially, when an amplifier is killed the power of the amplifier and the power of a grisha become kinda like walkie-talkies or radios broadcasting on the same channel/frequency(or "resonating" with the same 'vibrations' / vibrating at the same speed or frequency or something kind of like that), and that particular channel/frequency is exclusively accessible by the grisha and the amplifier who have synced-up together in that particular way. (This is where the phrase "like calls to like" comes into play, really. Because the power of an amplifier and a grisha's power become "like"[ or alike] with each other, when the grisha takes the amplifier's life in their hands.) But because the Stag had been created using Merzost and was no ordinary amplifier, it was more powerful than most amplifiers and could do things or be used in certain ways that ordinary amplifiers couldn't-like syncing up with both Alina and the Darkling. (It is unclear, in the books, if all amplifier's could technically be obtained by saving/sparing their life too or not, or if that was only possible specifically with amplifiers created using Merzost like the Stag exclusively; and it is equally unclear if even doing that Alina ever would have still been able to use its powers of amplification even before it was killed, or only after it had been killed. This was something Alina began to wonder about in the books[ because she could use/control the Stag amplifier even though she wasn't the one who actually killed it which was something completely unheard of having never been done before that], but there was never any opportunity to fully explore or prove/disprove anything either way, because the Darkling killed The Stag before she could have found out and then she was forced to kill the Sea Whip to stop the Whip from killing all of them first before she could have even tried to find out if it might've been possible for her to take its life in her hands even without killing it like she had done with the Stag even though she'd really wanted to try doing so.) Basically, because both hers & the Darkling's powers merged together with the power of the Stag's amplifier, this meant that the Stag amplifier also connected both of them and both of their powers together through it(the Stag/amplifier) by extension as well. It wasn't just her power or her amplifier alone, which the Darkling somehow unnaturally hijacked or usurped by performing some crazy Merzost-y ritual or whatever, it was an amplifier that they had somehow both obtained fair-&-square not even knowing that it was possible for more than one person to obtain it until after it had somehow just happened that they had both indeed done so; thus, once it was done, there was no undoing it. And when the Darkling and Alina "visit" each other without physically being there in the same place as wherever the other one of them is, it's because that connection allows them each to kind of tap-into and see or know whatever the other one sees or knows in that particular moment as much as they can tap-into what they themself know or see in any given moment. They don't really enter into some alternate dreamscape/mindscape or whatever, except maybe sort of if they "visit" each other while asleep, if I'm remembering it correctly-they can just literally enter or see [within their own mind ]into whatever location the other one of them is actually at, via the other one of them's mind or presence there, and whatever the other person is paying the closest attention to &/or whatever the other person can see or hear the most clearly is what they can then also see or hear the clearest while "visiting" the other person as well. Pretty much, it probably wouldn't matter even if someone did put a piece of an amplifier on before that amplifier's life ended, if whoever did so was not the one who ultimately killed it in the end nor who had in any way personally taken its life in their hands whatsoever when it was still alive. And if anyone did wear an amplifier whose life continuing or ending they hadn't personally held in their own hands while it was alive, it would have been completely useless to them even after the amplifier was no longer alive, they wouldn't have been able to use or control its power at all[ if they had not been the one to take its life themself]; only whoever actually took the amplifier's life in their hands when it was alive would've been able to control or use its power on whoever was wearing it. It would be kinda not-smart to willingly wear an amplifier that wasn't yours-unless you were a zealot happy have your power be influenced or controlled by someone else. (As well as kind of not-smart to have ever put an amplifier that actually was yours on anybody else other than yourself-if you weren't the Darkling, trying to assert influence over someone[ like Alina] who barely even knew how to use or access or control their own power, on their own, at all[ because they'd only just started learning how to].) Alina just got dumb lucky, really, that she was at all also able to use or control the amplifier too and not just the Darkling; and it only happened because of that particular circumstance having occurred before The Stag was killed, and possibly even then only because The Stag was created using Merzost to begin with. And I'm not sure it ever would have been possible, in the books, for Baghra to have tapped into one of Alina & the Darkling's "visits" like happens in the tv series; nor do I think the Darkling ever could have "visited" anyone else in the books except Alina, but in the tv series for some reason he can and does. But I imagine they altered these things for the tv series because it's difficult to show nonphysical concepts in a visual medium without the benefit of being able to describe these things like a book can. And also probably to keep the costs of special fx and such within budget, and so that things could happen much more quickly in the tv series than in the books, and so that the second season could conclude in a slightly different way than things ended in Alina's books(the Grisha trilogy)..most likely specifically so that characters like Alina and Mal and such could continue to stick around and play some part in whatever storylines will happen next, even though they didn't really play any part in those storylines in the books(Crows duology & Nikolai duology); kinda like how the Crows' duology characters (Kaz/Jesper/Inej/etc.) played a part in the tv series' first two seasons even despite not actually playing any part in those particular storylines in the books. (But let me know if there's anything I still need to try and explain a bit better 🙂)

@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341 Oh wow, thank you so much for such an elaborated response! Would you mind answering one more question? It's about Mal being the third amplifier. If he's a Darkling's relative, does it ultimately mean that he is grisha as well? I didn't really understand this from the series. And if he really had killed the Stag as he intended to, would he got his powers? Amplifier getting powers from other amplifier? Is that even possible?

@@kristynahrdlickova891 Sorry I didn't reply sooner! (The notification got buried under other notifications.😅😅😅) I don't mind you asking at all!! 🙂 Nope, being a relative of the Darkling's does *not* make Mal a grisha as well. It is possible for grisha to have non-grisha children, at the very least when a grisha person + a non-grisha person have a child together, and the Darkling's grandmother(Baghra's mother) was not grisha.😊 ((We learn this, in the books, around when Baghra tells Alina that Baghra never cared to know anything about the Darkling's father except that his father was a powerful grisha-and only that was specifically just so that Baghra could pretty much guarantee that her child would also be a grisha as well, although she couldn't have been sure specifically which grisha power/ability her child would or wouldn't have exactly.)) But regarding if it's possible for an amplifier to get powers from another amplifier-I suppose that depends on what you mean by "an amplifier getting powers from another amplifier" exactly? If you mean, can an amplifier give someone powers that somebody didn't already have? The answer is, no, an amplifier doesn't really give a person any powers it simply magnifies or strengthens whatever powers the person already has. But as for whether or not it is possible for an amplifier to increase another amplifier's ability to magnify or strengthen a grisha's powers? That depends.... Essentially, this is basically what the three amplifiers created by Morozova(Baghra's father / the Darkling's grandfather) do for each other, with each one of the three strengthening the amplification power of the others; but this is not something which is usually possible, since typically amplifiers can't ever be used in combination together like that[ as normally a grisha can only have just one amplifier ever], and it's kind of unclear if the reason why Morozova's three amplifiers(the amplifiers which Alina uses) actually can be combined together like that is more due to the fact that they're just so much more extraordinarily powerful than any other amplifiers or only because merzost specifically was used to create them. The only exception might be in the case of a living amplifier(like Mal or the Darkling), but as far as I know it's pretty unclear in the books if a living amplifier can ever strengthen the powers of grisha even if the grisha already has some other amplifier of their own or can do so only for those grisha who have no other amplifier. If Mal had killed the Stag, probably nothing would have happened at all, except that no grisha would have ever been able to use its amplification powers since no grisha had ever killed it. 😊

@@jaginaiaelectrizs6341 thank you!! Yes, that's exactly what I meant by that phrase, I was interested in what would have happened if Mal had killed the Stag. If it would somehow show his powers (if he were a grisha, which now I know he's not) or reveal that he was an amplifier.

I believe danielle organized a party where you have to dress up as one of the other cast mates but everyone was dressing up as cal except cal, who was dressing up as amita

Cal was having a super hard week and dani organized the party that janneke said before me :)
