In preparation for Hilda's second season, I decided to watch one of my (and another friend's) favourite episodes. Season 2 has me so hyped! Let's hope it's as good (or even better) than Season 1.
I'm delighted to see Hilda back in the wilderness. She's been in Trolberg for most of the season, so it's nice to return to the mysterious and unpredictable nature of its inhabitants. Somehow, being there is nostalgic, even though I've never lived there. It's nice.
But above all the forest giants and elves, my favourite wilderness character is Woodman, and he's still as charming & deadpan hilarious as usual. I also love his back and forth with Hilda. His selfish and unsympathetic nature contrast well with Hilda's kind and sympathetic heart. But by the episode's end, he shows genuine compassion.
Hilda: "I guess Trolberg is my home now." Wood Man: "Well, obviously. For now anyway. And someday your home may be somewhere else. But that doesn't mean you leave your other homes behind. The wilderness will always be a part of who you are. That's why we're such good friends." Hilda: "We are?" Wood Man: "Repeating myself makes me anxious. I'll stop by next time I'm in town. Make sure you do the same. Just walk on in."
Anikka, the song that plays during the evening montage and end credits, was so calming. I'm in love with the gentle strums of the guitar and the whistling. It makes me want to huddle by a fire with a cup of hot chocolate on a cold Winter's day.
Chapter 11: The House in the Woods is endearing, fun, and very ominous. It consists of Trolberg, the wilderness and all my favourite characters, which makes for a balanced and heartfelt episode. Showing the journey to & from Trolberg helps connect the two places well, and reminds the audience—not just Hilda—that despite living in a bustling city, the wilderness is still out there.
