Another awesome episode. I remember being so pissed when I read "everything will go down next spring" and then elated when the next chapter was just "yeah, so, that's where we pick it up"
This show is so full of small little bits of awesome, even guys like Grumman can have a day in the sun (literally). Sheep and some well leaked news. Absolutely ridiculous for him to trick Bradley (he can see everything, but he sure can't know everything) when the guy showed up. Scar and Marcoh haven't gone away either, and even the new characters from the Briggs arc are showing up in important spots (or just for comic relief)
The little scene with Olivier and Mustang was pretty amusing, too. A challenger for Hawkeye? Better watch yourself, Riza. Of course, the funniest was the undressing scene. That was made of gold.
Alphonse never stood a chance. Pride is tough, but with Gluttony there, too... Hoenheim did say that Pride can move through the tunnel and in Central, but when I think about it, I think he only said the part about Central because that's the space Selim's actual body can travel in It really looks like he's reliant on the shadows, and unless it's the tunnel, he can't reach further than the amount of shadow he can call upon.
Grumman and Mustang took down Bradley (those were Mustang's men in the woods, right? They talk about "the Colonel", and he's the only one who holds that rank that I can think of), but now the Homunculi have two key hostages (I don't care how strong she is, with Father there, Olivier is not much more than a hostage. Greed does come back to bite you in the ass, huh), one to check the rogues (at least Ed) and one to check the military (at least Briggs)
next episode: Night Fight. Bring the ruckus.
