Holy shit. This is a really fun episode. For once, the Idiot Brigade is outshining Team Evil in terms of fun, and holy shit is this fun. Especially the homage to classic She-Ra! Having liveblogged the first episode of the original show, I can really appreciate all the touches they’v...

That was a pretty decent one! Team Evil was the most interesting part, and the glimpse we got of Hordak’s actual plans was fascinating. Is he trying to escap...

Gotta say, I’m finding the Team Evil bits more interesting than the heroes, once again. I love their character dynamics so much! And seeing them bounce off of each other like this is a treat.
I wonder if this is going to be a teambuilding day for Team Evil. Hmmm. That would be fun.&nbs...

Poor Yuzuki. She’s never had friends before. So while the others just kind of acclimated and figured out they were buddies naturally, Yuzuki was waiting for some Big Moment when they’d all confess how they felt about each other, not realizing that that’s not really ...

I’m really wondering when Isaac, Miria, and the mobsters are actually going to get a drink of the elixir. The party they were all attending seemed like the best place to do so; they could all sit down at one table and pass it around. Now that’s out of the question.
I think Szilard is probably g...

Interesting. Very interesting. Not really Mrs. Ikari’s story--I’m not terribly enjoying her flat monotone, and it frustrates me that we keep cutting to Keiichi not living up to her hype...well, it’s still a good examination of a suicidal woman’s thought process, at least....

All in all, I have mixed feelings about that one. The Adora/Swift Wind plotline was fairly predictable in a boring way, and I find Swift Wind pretty annoying, so I d...

Oh, man. This one’s been pretty funny so far. I love Catra just. Fucking with them. It’s so great. She’s so good at it. I hope the rest of the episode is this funny.
The stuff with Swift Wind is...there, I suppose. I wonder why exactly Adora is so creeped out b...

Holy shit, Entrapta! What a bot. How the hell did you get it to self-regenerate like that? That’s impressive as hell. And Hordak continues to show himself to be a good boss for competent underlings. I like that in a villain.

And that’s...the show.
What a clever way to get Lake off the train. On multiple levels! Not only was it clever in-character, but her escape came from her accepting her nature at long last--which was what would have brought her own number down to zero. That’s such an excellent way t...

This was a really interesting episode. So the train exterior is actually the train interior, into which the train injects smaller interiors t...

Holy fuck, that was a good one! That was SO good! I was expecting them to have a real character-examine-y conversation as the focus of the episode, but damn if that didn’t exceed all my expectations. The questions it raises about the train and the denizens’ place in it...holy shit. ...

I was NOT expecting Jesse to exit the train this soon. I’m sure we’ll see more of him at the end, but is he otherwise out of the show for good? Actually, if he’s not coming back, then narratively it might be better for us to not see his homecoming and instead focus...

Ooooh. That’s an interesting twist. I hadn’t even considered the possibility that there would be people intentionally driving their number up to stay on the train longer. Fair enough, I guess! If you think it’s better than your life back home, go for it...

Well! That was delightfully horrifying, but it REALLY left me wanting more. The body horror I get can’t be TOO awful because this is still a show for kids, but I liked it and itched for more. We got the right amount, though, I think.

While I’m mildly annoyed by Toshio, the first half of the episode is pointing to some really emotional stuff. Shirase and Gin’s emotional catharsis is going to be some goooooood stuff, and I’m sad I didn’t get there this month. Oh, well, just means the next liveblog will be extra...
