But we love cliches. They've been tried and tested as successful plot devices.

A test essentially. The execution unit are equipped with Lambda Drivers. When they pounce on [ecs]Fei Jau/Yu Fan?[/ecs], the air around them is distorted and nearby buildings shatter or something.

Having watched this episode, I agree that it appears the final episode will be rushed.

I don't see how they can cram all the remaining scenes from the novels into approx 20 minutes. Despite my concern, thus far TSR has not dissapointed, and I hope that it shall disprove my doubts.

On another note, it's nice to see a more human and emotional side of Sousuke, and I was impressed with Tessa in her strong and resolute confrentation with Mardukas. All the pieces are falling into place now that the myseterious "sensei" has been revealed and tension runs high as everything is set for the final showdown.

Waiting impatiently for the next and final episode!

(Btw, hello to all FMP forum members.

Just finished watching this episode and I really enjoyed they so far have all been worth the pailful dial up downloads

. And him screaming Gaurons name in anger was quite awesome that was my favorite part. And in a way i feel bad for yu fan... - Well now i must wait anxiously for the final episode ^_^

Hehehe, the only gripe (if you can say as much) I had with this episode was the last scene reminded me too much like Palpitine trying to turn Luke to the darkside.

I just have to ask this one:

Was I the only one who noticed the fate of that Mr. Observer who always hangs around Gates?

Hint: check the scene where the execution squad ASes enagage their ECS (kinda funny detail I accidentally stumbled on)

...least Gaulun wasn't a poster child for anti-wrinkle cream like Palpatine was

and he has ALOT more charm!

Seriously.... 'strike me down with all your hatred, and your journey to the
dark side will be complete!'

I looked back at it again, and I never noticed it before. Seems he got a good slam from Gates. I don't know, is it because the Venom jumped or is it because Gates just kicked him? He does have the worst luck, but that's what you have to expect when working for Gates. He probably didn't though.

FreagaZ · Post by **FreagaZ** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 6:19 pm

Probably accidental (Gates would've probably gone "oops" if he had noticed

) and anyway I don't think he got as lucky as in Ep2 where he landed on water... You know when u land on asphalt you're gonna get hurt much worse

All in all it was a nice touch so even the "nitpickers" have something to look at

Depends on how hard you hit the water. From 50 feet up, you'd start to loose limbs.

So when does the next season of FMP start?

Wow. That was.. quite the episode.
Things I just want to point out to those who haven't seen it: Gauron actually doesn't look that bad of condition. Just missing an eye, a few limbs, his sanity... no wait, he lost that a while ago... He has no peeling skin or scars (besides the one on his forehead and on the side of his face; no new scars that is), he just looks a bit smaller and has a bandage-eyepatch thing. Yeah.
The scene with Gauron "taunting" Sousuke wasn't really that much of an adrenaline rush as I expected, but it did pick up right before [ecs]Gauron died by being shot to death by Sousuke[/ecs]. Ah well. Still very nice, though. Same with the scene of Tessa vs. Mardukas. lol..
