Good night, Cubao!

Finished watching The Pilgrim of Hate from the Brother Cadfael series. I enjoyed it because I'd forgotten the story, and so it was like learning it for the first time.

Adam has replaced Oswyn as Brother Cadfael's assistant. Love the decorative, pilgrimage banners and the mors teutonicus scene, in which a cadaver is boiled in a vat of boiling vinegar so that the flesh falls off from the bones. Exquisite rings and reliquaries, and the bronze thurible makes another appearance. That silver cross pendant wasn't so hot to me, though. It looked like wire jewelry made by a New Age enthusiast.

This episode was directed by Ken Grieve, my favorite director in this series. Many of his scenes reminded me of the paintings of Peter Bruegel.
