The Dark Crystal: Garthim War

The Dark Crystal: Garthim War is the second installment of a series of Dark Crystal miniseries that began with The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. It premiered on Netflix on September 24, 2021 (Jim Henson's 85th birthday) to critical acclaim, and consisted of ten hour-long episodes.
The voice actors and puppeteers for the surviving characters from Age of Resistance reprise their roles (Mark Hamill, who voices the Skeksis Scientist, also voices Brian, the son of Malcolm the Wise), as well as several new additions. Mark Strong, the voice of Ordon from Age of Resistance, voices Malcolm the Wise (the name of a character from Jim Henson's original draft of the film), the revered Gelfling prophet who longs for a return to peace on Thra ("We cannot live another thousand trine as the oppressed on our own world [...] while the Skeksis forever cling to power they never deserved."), and thus foresees the healing of the Dark Crystal "by Gelfling hand, or else by none." New addition Karen Prell, known for her portrayal of Red from Fraggle Rock, performs Malcolm, the Skeksis Satirist, the Gelfling Strategist, the Gelfling Lieutenant, a Paladin with green-blue hair, and the voice of Maudra Drahcir. Other new puppeteers include Drew Massey, Mak Wilson (who performed uncredited in the original 1982 film as assistant Mystic puppeteer), John Tartaglia, Nigel Plaskitt, Bruce Lanoil, David Barclay (who helped create Aughra and the urSkeks for the original film), John Eccleston, Brian Herring, Ron Mueck (the performer and voice of Ludo from Labyrinth), and William Todd Jones, the latter three of whom performs Landstriders and three Paladins, one with orange-yellow hair, one with dark red hair, and one with dark purple hair (Tygner also performs the Gelfling Woodsman and the lead Nebrie, Mueck voices Lore, and Jones performs Flaffi the Fizzgig and the Sidetic). Donna Kimball, who voiced Aughra in Age of Resistance and this series, takes up additional roles as a puppeteer, including the Gelfling Historian, the Mystic Monk, the Gelfling Lieutenant, Maudra Leben, and a Paladin with blue-green hair. Other puppeteers from Los Angeles and New York, including Ryan Dillon, Colleen Smith, Bill Barretta, Brian Henson, Jennifer Barnhart, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph, Dorien Davies, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Julianne Buescher, David Rudman, Martin P. Robinson, and Fred Stinson, also contribute voice performances.
Several puppeteers from the original film join the cast this season (Kira's puppeteer Kathryn Mullen voices Maudra Timrek; Mike Quinn and Tim Rose reprise the Skeksis Slave Master and Treasurer respectively (as well as several other characters); Dave Goelz reprises his role as Baffi and voices the Gelfling Mariner; and David Greenaway once again performs the Mystic Healer, and several other characters). Frank Oz, co-director of the original film and original puppeteer of Aughra and the Skeksis Chamberlain, voices SoSu, the leader of the urSkeks. YouTubers James Rallison (aka TheOdd1sOut, who reviewed the original Dark Crystal film on his channel) and Danny Gallows (who runs Dreamfast with Me, a channel dedicated primarily to the lore of The Dark Crystal) contribute voices, respectively playing the Gelfling Satirist and Historian.
In this series, taking place after Age of Resistance, the other surviving Gelfling learn from Rian, Brea, and Deet (who overcame being corrupted by the Darkening) the Skeksis' past as one half of the UrSkeks with the Mystics, and of skekGra and urGoh's prophecy, foretelling of a Gelfling healing the Dark Crystal amid the future third Great Conjunction, and restoring peace and balance to Thra. Unfortunately, the Skeksis, who have now grown in numbers, discover this new prophecy, and, at the orders of their Emperor SkekSo, send out skekTek's latest creation, the Garthim (now under the control of SkekUng, one of three Skeksis summoned by the Emperor back to the castle), to exterminate every last Gelfling on Thra, led by the mystical Malcolm the Wise and Faz, a legendary Gelfling explorer who visits the clans only once every trine, to prevent the prophecy from ever being fulfilled and to ensure their power over Thra lasts forever. Meanwhile, two other Skeksis, skekSa and skekLi, arrive to terrorize the Gelfling, and while skekMal was a nightmare, two Skeksis who don't regularly reside in the castle will be near impossible to handle, especially with the Garthim causing so much destruction...
In contrast to Age of Resistance, Garthim War uses Trevor Jones' music score from the original film for many scenes throughout the series, including the appropriate Psycho-esque music for scenes heavily featuring the Garthim, and the iconic Dark Crystal theme for the opening of the first episode, and the ending and closing credits of the season finale. The final episode is dedicated to puppeteer Phil Eason, who passed away in April 2021.
==Plot (Episode #1)==
"Another world, another time, in the age of division. Thra. A wondrous planet unlike any other. Certainly, unlike yours and mine. At its center, the Crystal of Truth...the source of all life. A world where every creature, big and small, lives amongst each other in intimate harmony. Or, at least, they used to. But all of that would change. It was the day of the first Great Conjunction, the day when the three suns of Thra align in the sky. And on that day, new beings came, not from Thra: the urSkeks. 18 urSkeks were banished from their world, with the promise of returning at the next Great Conjunction, a thousand trine into the future, on one condition...they first had to defeat the darkness within themselves. And thus began a new age: an age of harmony.
For the next thousand trine, the urSkeks bestowed their wisdom upon Aughra, and the Gelfling. They told Aughra stories of their adventures, and built her a Great Observatory...so that she could discover the cosmos herself. For the Gelfling, they taught them how to tame the natures of Thra...and how to expand their territory. Soon, the second Great Conjunction was at hand, and the urSkeks were convinced they were pure enough in their hearts to allow their return home. Alas, it was not to be. One urSkek heard a Gelfling song...and was hesitant to leave. An insult from Raunip, son of Aughra, only served to amplify his rage...and thus, further corrupt his soul. What happened next shook Thra to its core. Amid the strife, the once whole urSkeks were split into two...the cruel Skeksis...the gentle Mystics.
In the aftermath, one of the Skeksis, his already hateful heart filled with raw rage, slaughtered two Mystics, and with them died himself and another Skeksis. Aware now of the forever-present link, the remaining Skeksis banished the Mystics to a valley, far from the Castle of the Crystal, all forced into hiding. Aughra tried to reason with the Skeksis, convince them that they desired to be whole. But the Skeksis had other plans. They shattered the Crystal, and off flew a single piece, a shard, of the Crystal, to ensure that unless the shard was found and restored, the urSkeks would never become whole. Soon, the Skeksis, led by their emperor skekSo, claimed rule over the land, brandishing as much hate for those they deemed inferior as they had for themselves and each other. In their reign of terror, they found new ways to steal life from the very Crystal they swore to protect...to replenish themselves...to cheat death, time and time again. Soon, they found the perfect solution...to drain the Gelfling of their essence. Three brave Gelfling, Rian of the Stonewood clan, Brea of the Vapra clan, and Deet of the Grottan clan, exposed the Skeksis' corruption to all willing to listen. The Gelfling battled their former lords at Stone-in-the-Wood. Many Gelfling, three Skeksis, and three Mystics perished that day, and the Skeksis were forced to retreat, to the castle where they find joy in dirty politics and petty squabbles. The Gelfling may have won the battle...but soon, a new era of Thra will begin, and with it, a new war...a bigger...deadlier...war.
Losing three of their kind was a huge blow to the Skeksis, but they know that five more still roam the wilds of Thra, waiting for the day when they are summoned back to the castle. Today is that day. Only three have heard the call. skekUng: a fierce and powerful warrior, with a cunning mind to boot, notorious for finding joy in tearing Gelfling limb from limb, and causing death in all forms; skekNa; a quiet, pure evil who lurks in the shadows, with an eye lost long ago, covered by an eyepatch, and a hook for a finger on his left hand, who refuses to mask his true nature; and skekShod, who dared challenge the mere concept of a Skeksis monarchy, and painfully suffered the consequences, only brought back to the castle out of necessity. If the Skeksis are to make an example of the Gelfling, they'll need all the help available to them. Further cementing their confidence of victory is perhaps the greatest creation of skekTek the Scientist. He has devised an artificial life form that can strike fear into the heart of the toughest Gelfling, and bring death and destruction wherever it walks. And he has done so by combining the bodies of a Gruenak and an Arathim."
As the episode opens, skekUng, skekNa, and skekShod enter the castle, and into the throne room of Emperor skekSo, asking why they have been called back. skekSo informs them that the Gelfling have begun rebelling against the Skeksis empire, and General skekVar, skekMal the Hunter, and skekLach the Collector have already been killed. skekUng in particular reveals he isn't too disturbed by these deaths, but laments that the Hunter was like a brother to him. The Emperor will have no further grieving, claiming that if even someone as ferocious and seemingly unstoppable as the Hunter can die, the rest of the Skeksis could be next. The Emperor then asks where are skekSa the Mariner and skekLi the Satirist. skekOk the Scroll Keeper answers that the Mariner is on her way to shore, and as for the Satirist, "Heh! Who needs that clown? The only thing he's good at punching is a line." The Skeksis then laugh at that bad pun until they are silenced by the Emperor, who warns that their clock is ticking, and with each passing day, their power over the stars weakens. When the soon-to-be Garthim Master suggests the others find a solution, the Chamberlain states they already have. The iconic Garthim sounds are soon heard.
Meanwhile, Rian and Brea stroll through the forest, lamenting about Deet's infection by the Darkening, with Rian hoping that Deet can pull through. Brea regrets that was only the smallest of a price to pay for a war won. Rian replies, "No. We won the battle. But I have a feeling...that the war is just getting started." In a Grottan cave, Lath'N tends to a recovering Deet, and laments that he should've protected her from danger when he had the chance. Suddenly, Deet springs to life, panting in pain as she weakly asks, "Did we win?" Lath'N sighs of relief at Deet's improving condition.

==Notes==
At the beginning of the second episode, when the Skeksis are replenishing themselves via the Ceremony of the Suns in the Crystal Chamber, they are all positioned exactly as in the original film (clockwise: SkekTek, SkekUng, SkekAyuk, SkekShod, SkekZok, SkekEkt, SkekOk, SkekSil, SkekNa). The only difference is the addition of SkekSo, standing between SkekNa and SkekTek.
