Tony has completely changed the whole situation now, and seems undefetable, as he's got the support of all his Blues fellows.

Second Earth looked like a new nesting ground with all the green corpse cocoon things.

Alicia died but I did not feeling a thing :s

Alicia. What a waste of a characters. I was more concerned about Rick than her.

And it seems that after 'the power of love' mysteriously reduced the power of Yuiji's B-cells, he's back to being the whiny pacifist of the first chapters.

To bad for Rick, Those three made a good team. They make killing the blue look a lot easier than the rest of the people on second earth. Yuji was dumb in this ep, Alicia tries to kill him multiple times and he still thinks he can "save her". Thank god Rick was there to shoot her. I wonder if Yuji wasn't trying to be "heroic" and "save" Alicia, If Rick wouldn't have been wounded?? Yuji could have been fighting the blue at that point in time..

Seriously Yuji? She tried to shoot you and hit Marlene. She pulls a knife. Your comrades are trying to fight off a horde of Blue. And your worried about ALICIA?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? CAN YOU NOT GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT?!

The ridiculous thing is that he could save her and help his friends if instead talking or jumping in frond of her to protect her from getting shot. If he simply hit her so she can pass out then it would have been easier. Try to talk her back into her sense could come up later when she awakes and they got rid of the threat.

Good episode, scary. It reminds me on some of better sci-fi movies, like Alien and others, where droplets of blood are floating through corridors... I feel bad for Alicia, maybe Yuji should have kissed her... I feel bad for Rick too, I'm sure he's gonna die and Marlene and Yuji are gonna be left alone-as they were at the beginning of the series...

Alicia is finally dead.
Yuji is too retarted, he protects Alicia even after she shoots him and hurts Marlene in the process.

Alicia... Wtf ??? Couldn't he just knock her out and tie her up ?

Wasting like 10 minutes on talking at a point of a gun. If you're not going to use a gun then at least use your fucking head and hands dumb-ass Yuji -_-

And this is why I hate this type of scenarios where things can be solved in an instant with the most obvious solution but no, they have to drag it on for the sake of making it more entertaining and dumb when you think about it.

Sheesh, what a waste.

Good god, people are fucking stupid in here. He is trying to save Alicia because he knows that could have been him. He tried to kill Marlene too, remember that? If Marlene did not save him he would have lost control as well. Which is why he is trying to save Alicia. People will complain about anything without understanding things first...jeez..

A shame, but Alicia had plenty of chances. Yuji's negotiation tactics were too emotional, so only agitated her further. A collected and analytical approach would've worked better.

You're telling me that having her hold the Blue egg somehow made Alicia go from previously no personality change / visible B-Cell activation to full on Team Blue in a matter of seconds? That's pretty goofy.

Though what's probably even more goofy is how inconsistent the Blue's armor is against weapons.

This series needed more episodes to complete the vision.

Between Alicia fully committing to the Blue and Yuji struggling to just knock out and subdue her, some narrative elements don't feel cohesive. This was already kind of a problem before, but it's becoming more apparent in the more character driven scenes.

There's also been a sincere lack of development for the people aboard Second Earth. Not really damaging to the plot, but definitely lending to a slight lack of tension.
