(She also kind of looks like a jacked Julie White.) She didn’t come of her own free will, though, and she isn’t quite sure why the Galanthi-the squid-like aliens who dropped the spores and hurtled her consciousness backward through time-sent her back.
The person we’ve known thus far as Amalia True is actually a traveler from somewhere in the future, identified as Stripe and played by the Australian actress Claudia Black, who you might recognize from Farscape. Another part takes place some time in the (hopefully fairly distant) future, when Earth is a depleted, nearly unlivable wasteland, and nearly 5 billion people have already died. One is that everything we’ve seen thus far, about a group of London women who’ve been turned into superheroes by spores dropped from a luminous blue alien craft, is only part of the story.
I tune into my nice little HBO show about Victorian women with superpowers and suddenly I’m in the middle of a Terminator reboot. This post contains major spoilers for the sixth episode of The Nevers, “True.”
