goddamn this show is rough on the old ticker sometimes...
this episode first raised my eyebrows when Bolton (he even got a name!) didn't just die, but had a scene for about a full minute with just him and Nico. It had been awhile since they focused so much on an older, battle robot, but they pulled it off pretty well in this episode.
of course, Nico is just not fair. You take a cute, childish robot and then fully cross her with the retards (and, let's face it, every minor character in this show, with the exception of Old Man, is either crazy, a child, or both).... The setup was just too easy to pull on the old heart strings with the ending...
And we got a fair amount of info about the world after Luna. This is certainly the first time I remember people talking about "Luna" (a woman who can stop the Ruin) being alive. Also, and added to by the next episode preview, it looks like Dio is organizing... You have to wonder what for, and also if that woman who he seems to be serving is the "new Luna" or what...
It was another excellent episode.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
