Darna: Episode 86

86. Top Secret

Magkakaulirat sila Brian at Narda na nakasabit kung saang bundok o bangin. May nakatali rin na bomba kay Brian. Magagawang makawala ni Narda sa pagkakagapos at magpapalit ng anyo sa harap ni Brian upang iligtas ang kanilang mga buhay. Pagbalik nila sa lupa ay dito na aamin si Narda kahit wala namang dapat aminin dahil halata na. Mangangako naman si Brian sa magkapatid na iingatan ang lihim. Pagtitibayin nito ang pagsasama ng dalawa at magiging sila na. Magtutungo si Regina sa isang pagtatanghal ng sining kung saan aabutan niya si Zaldy at iang dula kung saan may dalawang tauhan na nakadamit bilang Darna at Valentina. Matatalo ni Darna si Valentina at iinit ang ulo ni Regina kaya aalis na lamang ito. Makikipagkita naman sa kanya si Madame Victoria upang magbigay ng salapi sa kanyang tanggapan ngunit mapuputol ang pulong sa biglang pag-alis ni Regina nang makita nito si Darna na lumilipad. Susundan niya ito. Samantala ay patuloy naman ang paggugulo ni Noah gamit ang bagong kapangyarihan. #DarnaTopSecret

Ano na naman ito? Tila ba pinagtagpi-tagpi lang ang kabanatang ito lalo na yang pagkakabitin nila Narda at Brian. Saan sila nakabitin? May mga makikita kang bangin na nakapaligid sa kanila subalit hindi naman sila doon nakatali. Saan sila nakatali? May helicopter ba doon na lumilipad upang maitali sila ng ganoon sa gitna? Tila ba pilit ang ipinasok ito upang malaman na agad ni Brian na si Narda at Darna ay iisa. Maari naman sanang sa ibang pamamaraan ginawa. Parang minadali. At bakit pagbagsak nila sa lupa ay nasa lungsod na sila bigla? Magulo. Ang gulo gulo. At ngayong malapit na rin yata matuklasan ni Narda na si Regina at Valentina ay iisa lang din, mukhang minamadali na nila ito upang tapusin na. Halatang halata rin na ito marahil ang kabanata kung kailan nagkasakit si Jane de Leon dahil halatang halata ang paggamit nila ng Green Screen. Gagamit na nga lang din ng ganun ay hindi pa pinaghusayan. Kitang kita mo na tila ba lumulutang silang lahat. #DarnaTopSecret

86. Top Secret

Brian and Narda come back to their senses hanging from what seems like a mountain or a ravine. A bomb is also attached to Brian’s waist. Narda manages to break free from being tied up and transforms in front of Brian in order to save their lives. When they finally land safely, Narda finally confesses even though there is really nothing to admit because everything is obvious. Brian then promises the siblings that he will keep her secret. This strengthens the bond between the two and they become an item. Regina heads to an art exhibit where she finds Zaldyand watches a short reenactment with two actors dressed up as Darna and Valentina where the former defeats the latter, causing Regina to flare up and leave. She later meets up with Madame Victoria who wants to invest money on her foundation but their meeting is cut short when Regina leaves after seeing Darna fly by. She follows her. Meanwhile, Noah continues terrorizing everyone with his new power. #DarnaTopSecret

What the heck is this? This episode feels like a montage of whatever they could come up with, especially that scene with Narda and Brian hanging from who knows what. Where exactly were they hanging from? You can see cliffs surrounding them, but they are obviously not tied there. Was there a helicopter flying overhead and were they hanging from it? It feels like they rushed this just so Brian would know at last that Narda and Darna are one and the same. They could’ve formulated this some other way but it really looks rushed. And why is it that when they finally land on the ground they are suddenly back in the city? Chaotic. Very chaotic. And now it seems like Narda is inching closer into discovering that Regina and Valentina are one and the same as well, as if they are rushing to just end all of this. It is also evident that this is the episode filmed when Jane de Leon got sick because the use of green screen is too obvious. They can’t even use that green screen properly for crying out loud. Everyone looks like they’re floating! #DarnaTopSecret

“Ngayong alam mo na ang sikreto ko. Si nanay, siya ang Darna dati. Nung namatay siya ako pumalit sa kanya.” –Narda
