----------------------------------------
Man this show really likes to mess with us. That was a pretty big roller coaster ride this week - one second we’re led to think that Shima and Shizuno are betraying everyone else, and then we learn that it’s a trap. After that, there was the question of whether the server was still around. It really looked like it was gone after that explosion, but it’s clearly not because of that final scene.

I guess the server still being around has something to do with Shizuno visiting the server location alone earlier on the Zegatank. She probably moved the contents or backed it up somehow. Still, I don’t think they should have been so hush-hush about their actions until they were pulling it off. Telling the crew everything beforehand might have made things a lot easier and saved Kyo & Ryoko a lot of angst. But it does make for better drama this way, so I can’t really complain.

It kind of felt like Lu Sheng’s interrogation of Shizuno was fairly useless, at least to us as the audience. Everything that was said we either already knew (Shizuno and Kyo used to go out, she still likes him) or already suspected (Shizuno and Shima are connected to the Gards-orm) or found out in this episode (the trap). What it did accomplish is make Shizuno seem even more mysterious, and I’m hoping that some of that mystery will be gone after next episode, which looks like it’ll be about her and whatever secrets she has.

Wtf directors, wtf?

Anyways, decend episode. I liked what they did in general with the twist but the dialouge was really choppy and corny at times. Could have been much better.

Well that was stupid, if the mecha could get the data too why risk one of the few remaining servers.

dem fanservice :\

Anyway I really wonder how many times we have to get to see these character plot armors?! "somehow" surviving and surviving with a new explanations.

And lot of awkward pauses in-between dialogues.
