most melancholy episode
"The Lost Warrior" is the most melancholy of all the episodes--not sad, not depressing, just unhappy. Apollo is so obviously still in mourning and in shock at the sudden death of his wife that at times he seems a bit disoriented, or even that he feels nothing at all.
One of the things I always thought was wonderful about this series is that the writers made Apollo slowly recover from his mourning, and that it took him a yahren to do so, which I think is normal.
