Just a quick fact: some of the members of Vox Machina (D&D Party in Critical Role) actually worked on the dub of FMA:B

Hmm, you know what, now that you mention it, this is the first time I notice that too. It could be a translation error too, Idk I don't remember what she says in the Japanese version.

I have seen this show probably 10+ times, and I just noticed that Ross says she fired a single shot in defense of Edward, not Alphonse, who she was actually protecting. Was it a mistake in her report, an intentional lie, or was it simply a script error? Hmm. Interesting.

Idk if Blind Wave knows but there's end credit scenes in some of the episodes.

The plot thickens (cue dramatic music). Can't wait to see you're reactions to what happens in the future throughout this series.

I've seen one or two that are suspicious. It seems FMA is blowing up with reactors lately though, which is awesome, I I love this series more than Game of Thrones.

By the way, Eric. That blonde guy (Denny Brosh) who was always with Maria Ross in the military is not the same blonde guy that is dating Lust, that one is named Jean Havoc.

So, that was a lot of fun! And by fun I mean it’s entertaining to watch you go through the same emotional turmoil that many of us have been put through by this episode.
I think it’s a very cleverly constructed episode. It throws you all over the place emotionally as well as plot-wise. Some people are absolutely sure of what they think by the end, but I like the discussion you guys had, where you compared the different options. Because the episode does leave you hanging (and Ed literally so) in the end, with a ton of questions. You seemed a bit lost during the discussion, and I think that’s a credit to the episode. All options seem to have some level of credibility to them, and yet they all have something that speaks against them. They also all open up for completely different ways the plot could go in the future, depending on which is true. So I really, really enjoyed your discussion of trying to figure everything out, did he do it or did he not, why was everything the way it was, who’s with who, etc. Even if you felt confused - which honestly, is the point and completely fine. You’ve just had a lot of assumptions you had about how things were and characters thrown up in the air. We’ll see how it lands.
Also, about Eric saying he might have missed something - I think this is the type of show that moves at a very fast pace, and certain things you definitely WON’T notice until a rewatch. I keep noticing some new things almost every time I watch it. So I don’t think that you guys are ”watching it badly” or not paying attention. There’s just a lot thrown at you now.
(Speaking of noticing things, Aaron, be nice to Calvin. :P You know he has spoons! You must be cautious!)
I'm impressed Eric has dared to peak at the comments (though I guess patreon email notifications might also be a thing). Beware, it's a comment section of terror and full of spoilers (sadly).
Oh, and brilliant editing Rhop! The episode felt very well condensed to 9 minutes. I couldn’t think of much while I was watching it that was missing. Nice work!
Well, we’ll see where the next few weeks takes you (and us with you). Maybe you’ll get some answers, maybe you’ll just get thrown a bunch more questions, things might heat up a bit! Who knows (I mean, I kind of do. But for appearances sake)? I know I for sure will be looking forward to it (and looking forward to writing more ridiculously long comments).

You guys should get someone who isn't reacting to the shows read the comments so the people reacting don't read the spoilers : )

I think it helps that they're a group, most of the other FMA reactions I've seen are solo. But I knew when they got to this episode they would discuss the hell out of it and try to figure out if Mustang really killed her. I'm impressed with their analysis of the evidence provided.

Man, you guys are among the first reactors I''ve seen that aren't completely pissed at Mustang at this point.
