    I have to admit I was really engrossed with this episode.

    Quite a history lesson.

    The rail tracer was already aboard the ship? Or was it just the usual nonlinearity?

    I thought Szilard was the one eating people on the ship... I thought that was pretty clear... Then again, there could have been two eaters... Also, I expect that the bit of the immortality potion that Sylvie didn't drink will become important...

    Now we know Maiza and Szilard's roots... and since Szilard only has half of the knowledge, it makes me think that Ennis, who he claims to have created, is not quite immortal... She was referred to as a Homunculus, so she's not even human... but is she immortal?

    However, I'm very confused about what happened with Elmer (the optimist who tried to convince Szilard and fell into the ocean) and with Huey (the guy who recited the alchemist creed and was talking with The Entity at the end). Neither of them seem to have been around in the 1900s... unless one is Rail Tracer... But The Entity seemed to take a liking to both of them. I wonder what 'wish' he granted Elmer?

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I think Huey's still around. Remember those Black Suits on 1931 Flying Pussy Foot? They kept talking about completing Huey-sama's goals. Elmer was around, at the end of that episode you see Maiza talking to a much more stoic, serious looking Elmer.

    When we first saw the ship, the eatings began almost instantly. Or at least you could assume they were eatings, like the dude that was snatched from the stairs. So, unless those things actually happened after the potion drinking scene, following the nonlinear nature of this show, it couldn't have been Szilard but someone else.

    There's a quick transition after the ship scene starts where it goes "The previous night"... and then that's where Maiza summons the demon and they drink the potion.

    If you say you have had enough of the craziness, Miria won't agree:

    Isaac and Miria are totally crazy. This was an awesome episode. The author of this story is a bloody genius.

    I don't actually feel like this episode revealed that much new material as such, but at least we learned a bit more about those two wackos and the Dallas incident moved forward a bit.

    Haha yeah, i love Isaac and Miria.

    Did Nice blush after Jacuzzi kissed her?

  11. #11
    It was very subtle, but I'm pretty sure I saw a bit of blushing. Anyways, Isaac and Miria are awesome, hopefully they'll kick a bit of ass before the show is over, with their 100 guns.

    Definitely blushing. She just didnt show any expression. I guess that would make anyone double check (I actually did).

    I miss Filo. Im hoping for some Ennis and Filo interaction soon.

    man, Jacuzzi keeps getting better and better. And, animus, good point about Huey and the 'jailed leader' that the Black-suits were talking about... Guess Huey becomes a pretty important guy over those two hundred years...

    Isaac and Miria are so insane. They crack me up, but I'd probably want to smack them if i met them in real life.

    It was nice to see more of the Dallas and Eve story. Can someone tell me what is up with the Runorata guy who is always eating candy? Did he just let Eve go at the end? Looked like it to me.

    also good character development with Ennis

    It looked like he let her go on purpose. Still, it seems unlikely they would think the girl knows where Dallas is; their intelligence can't be that bad (nor should they even think a girl like that could fool anybody, anyway). So, it's a good question what they have in mind by letting her run.

    Strange how we like the same characters......
    Ennis is my favorite too.

    Wow, though not all that original, Miria and Isaac are awesome.
