Angel Flight - Episode 6 - THE FINAL JOURNEY WITH HER MOTHER

 I guess part of this story is going to be what happens between Rinko and her mother.  

As this episode starts, There's a village and Rinko's mother is laying down on a bed.  She has a net all around her.  It doesn't say where she is.  It doesn't look like a hospital though.  She reaches over to grab a pen and paper but it falls to the floor.  They then cut to Rinko in a coffin.  Turns out the team is taking pictures to send to an Argentinian company to show them how they arrange bodies.  Rinko says she's uncomfortable and Nami tells her, "Just close your eyes and be dead". Lol  Nami has an idea to put the cover on and take a picture like that but she pulls her back trying to lift the lid from against the wall.

The walkie talkie in the room goes off and calls Rinko to the office. When she gets there, the staff tell Rinko her mother has passed away.  Nami tells her to go be with her.  She's asked where will she go and Rinko said "her home? the hospital?" but they tell her she's not there.  She's in Mocomoco.  Shusuke tells her it's near Lake Titicaca (in Bolivia).

This may end up being a resolution episode for Rinko and her mother.  I wonder if it'll address Nami and her fiancee.  I do hope there is a season 2.  This was a great little mini series.  Even though the stories were all heartbreaking and sad, it was well done.


I have to opine on something I read online when I was just starting out with the episode in the made up town in Africa.  Someone had a blog where they were writing about dramas.  Kind of like me but he/she was summarizing up her opinions on each episode in 1 post while I've broken down my posts per episode.  It's more organized for me that way.  Anyway, he/she mentioned how the episode in South Africa was a little racist in how black people were portrayed as terrorists.  I didn't see it that way.  There was more he/she said about it but I didn't care to read any more.  I don't think it was intentional when they did that.  

Great mini series.  I want more.

I think I'll be watching Death's Game next week!
