Yay I'm not the only one that likes the OP song, though it took some time to get used to it as I didn't like it much the first time I heard it.
Was wondering if that was Trisha when she ran up and asked Hohemheim for a dance mostly because we had a young Pinako... but it made me wonder how old exactly is Hohemheim if he met Trisha when she was a kid and still looked the same as he does now, though it was a dream so blah. And seeing young Pinako is weird.

I watched the OP again and noticed the blond woman has huge lips.
Hawkeye > nameless blond. (I'm just not a fan of such full lips)
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
didnt he? i actually loved this episode, it was stupid with all the flashbacks and everything, but it was good to see the first change on hoheinhem...
and when he spoke to the bottle, it was so funny! he got drunk and then moved foward... xD
Even the recap eps on this is awesome, this show just cannot fail.
So very true ^_^

I don't think she's from Drachma. It looks like she's the one in charge of the army guarding the Drachma border.
Good ep with an awesome plot twist. I'm intrested to see if Ling is actually in control of the body and playing everyone a fool or if he's suppressed(for lack of a better word) inside.
And father don't fuck around.
I'm mostly interested in knowing how Ed and Al's alchemy was inhibited. What comes to Ling/Greed, I don't really see why he would have done what he did if Ling was in control. I suppose he might be hoping to learn more about Father, but the fact how easily he controlled his body suggests another mind is controlling him. He was also quite a straight-forward guy, not so much a crafty undercover one. Now that he's a homunculus, I think he would run straight back to his own country if he was in control.
A jolly good episode for sure. This new series can't anymore be even compared to the old one.
I thought it was a good episode.
I think ling is still inside since he responded to Ling Fans name.
fun fact
Greed voice actor is also the person that played Graham in 00 and Ling voice actor happened to be Setsuna in 00.

I agree, the more i watch this/read the manga, the more flaws i see in the original FMA writings.
Simply fantastic ep!

Of course Shinichiro Miki, who plays Mustang, was Lockon in Gundam 00. When Ling first showed up, I kept wondering if he would say "Lockon Stratos" over and over and over for no reason.
Otherwise, great episode, and actually a lot more humorous than it should have been given the material within it. I definitely enjoyed how Father was very nonchalant about the Elric brothers, and actually very excited that Hoenhiem had children. It was strange from the normally very grim and serious tone we've seen him with before, and thus great comedy relief.
He seemed rather intrigued that both May Chang and Scar could use alchemy at all, and it didn't seem like he recognized it as Eastern Alchemy.
May's reaction to seeing knowing Ed was Ed for the first time was pretty funny too. I loved the switch from her fantasy mode to Ed's "Huhn." She was crushed. Similarly, I liked how Ed and Al kept unintentionally doing the orz pose when they tried to do any alchemy.
I wonder what Lan Fan's reaction to this will be. Will she serve Greed anyway, or try to bring Ling back out?
Be sure to watch after the credits, for those of you that skip previews.
I like this, everyone together in one big happy room. You could just feel the love.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
I don't see why that has to be in white but anyway, I agree.
Greed was certainly in control at the very beginning, no question about that. As pointed out before, since he responded to Lang Fan's name, Ling's still in there somewhere.
The question really is, after that moment, was Greed back in control again, or was it Ling fully in control but still taking the cover of Greed?
It'll be very interesting to see how Father stopped Ed's and Al's alchemy. As one of the characters have noted (someone from Xing, probably Ling), the alchemy used in there was "strange", compared to Xing at least.
Father them talked as if he gave them alchemy, which I wouldn't be at all surprised at, given how he's been running the country before they were even born.
Since Scar's human decomposition didn't work on Father, I can confidently say he's no longer human. Even physically.
edit: The philosipher's stone doesn't seem to be as omnipotent as we originally thought. Gluttony can't die, but there's a limit to how many times he can die, possibly linked to the number of people who were killed in order to make the stone. In a sense, it's still bound by equivalent exchange.

I definitely agree. The homonculus seem to be able to be "killed" a number of times equal to however many souls is in their Philosopher's Stone.
'Father' recovered Glutonny's Philoshoper's Stone... and he obviously did the same with Greed's. Therefore we can assume Lust is definitely a goner. Seeing as Mustang broke her Philosophers Stone
I fucking love this show. They're doing an A job.
I think that Father closed the gate within Ed and Al. I mean the power for Alchemy has to come from somewhere right? They can use it without a circle because they saw the truth through the gate. So what if their's is closed somehow. It would explain why they can't use it.
And about Scar...Alchemy uses decomposition and recomposition. He only uses Decomposition. Perhaps that is why he can use it because he is using a full Alchemy, just a part. And May uses Alkahemy or something. So I believe those are different.....just my two cents on this matter.
Awesome episode btw.
They way he talked, it implies that all alchemy should have been impossible, regardless of the level of Truth they know. That can be seen when Father expected Scar and May to also be powerless. Since they're not on his list of sacrifices, it's reasonable to assume that he think they haven't opened any sort of Gates like the Elric Brothers have. Since he didn't realise the significance of Eastern Alchemy (whether or not he knew it was Eastern Alchemy is another story), it's safe to assume he expected all alchemy to stop working in that area.
