Munch speech to the family


When Munch tells the tale of the man who comes to the New World, is he telling the tale of mankind, or his own history? the story covers hundreds of years. Is this Season 5’s UFO equivalent?

reply

i took it as his own story

reply

His own story. We're shown flashbacks throughout the season of him being a sin-eater thousands of years ago.

reply

Hundreds of years, but yes.

reply

We were? Can you remind me of one?

reply

I believe in the second episode there’s a fairly lengthy flashback that says “hundreds of years ago,” and shows him doing various things in caves and eating the “sins” of the dead with an audience.

reply

I don't think it said "hundreds of years ago". I think it said something like "Kingdom of Wales, England: 1573" or suchlike.

I remember the interesting labelling of Wales as a territory of England and the fact that he wore a kilt, despite that being something of a cultural appropriation to associate that particular garment with Wales.

reply

Definitely said “hundreds of years ago,” I can take a peek later if need be

reply

Not on-screen though.

As per previous, it actually said:-

"Wales, Kingdom of England 1522"

, so I was pretty close with my recollection!

reply

OMG i totally don’t remember it. I’ll have to watch ep again!
