Thank you so much for posting the pics, CursedAnubis, you have no idea how much I wanted to draw Nina.

And Drawdiva7, thank you so much for the amazing shots ;D

As for the three psychos, you're absolutely right. Barry, Tucker *growls* and Crimson. Crimson seems cool, despite the whacked upness. He's almost split; perfectly sane in knowing what he wants to do, why, and how, and yet the acts he commited are insane to those who don't understand his whacked up principle. *shakes head* what a paradox, lol

Did anyone else notice that the symbols on Crimson's hand are just one cirled A and one circled D (I think)? I've never seen another alchemy circle w/ letters like that, and that is so simple.

You could see the fire and air symbols and lettering; you're right, they were really simple.

I didn't like seeing Envy kick Ed around like a soccer ball , nor Lust threatening to kill Al. My liking for the homunculus just went down from 0 to -999999.

Amen to that, man! I hate \hate\ Envy >_> and the others aren't too great either.

*nods in agreement* I think Gluttony is the worst. Uuuughh...he is so repulsive...

I don't like the current Homunculi either, especially Envy, he's just so stupid. Greed looks like a great character though, he has a cool look.
About the episode, I thought that it was sad when Al was doubting that he was human and didn't really care if he died.

Lust has some backplot, so she gets to be easier to sympathize with.

Ed will find it very hard to hate one of the up-and-coming homunculus. *wink*-* wink*

It annoyed me how easily Barry was able to manipulate and fool Al. But then you have to realize, Al's mind is in a very fragile state due to his condition. I mean from past episodes, we know the pain that his condition has caused him. That he feels he's losing his memories or the things he can't remember. Remember when Al couldn't remember their childhood friend from home? That let him more easily think, well maybe she didn't remember her because he never met her. Barry took advantage of Al, which is a pretty sick thing to do. But then, Barry is a sick person.

Well, I don't care that much about Al at the time being; he's acting like an idiot. Doubting Ed? As if Ed would ever mess him up on purpose. And you could see him doubting Ed when Tucker said 'implant memories into Nina'. Al was like, 'Implant memories?' He says he loves Ed so much and can't find the heart to friggen trust him. *that was annoying*

I also agree that is was super annoying how easily Al believed a serial killer over his brother.

And of course, you must remember that Ed wanted to tell Al something that he thought might upset him. Barry is a clever person. He knows how to manipulate people. And plus Al is only really ten years old. He doesn't have a body that can mature, so he is only a little boy. No matter how intelligent he is it would still be fairly simple to make him believe whatever you wanted.

Still, you'd think he had a little more faith in his older brother. We get to see some of that action tonight.

Weird question, but... what was that room that Scar fell into at the start of the episode? I think it was just before the first commercial break. They never really say if Scar saw anything down there, you just dont see him again till near the end of the episode....Was that the room that Barry was talking about?

Ooh, could be. Dunno. Looks like he fell into where Greed was, or something, but I really have no clue.

I figured that it was the room that Greed was trapped in cause Gluttony and Lust seemed afraid to go after him.

Okay, so I'm not the only one thinking that *fewf* lol

no ymsg, you are not the only one, in fact i was thinking the same just now

Awesome. Think we'll find out more twists again tonight? (as we do every week)

yep if u really listen when gluttony and lust r talkin' gluttony is all
"lust its the bad place" and lust is all
"oh no not greed we're going to have to get fullmetal boy to hurry up before
he interferes with our plans."
ohhhhh the suspence, the horror.

I found this a little interesting. In episode 22 after Lt. Ross approches
Ed and embraces him. You can barely hear it but he says
"mom? You're back." Maybe he saw her (Trisha) at the Gate?

Did anyone hear this too?



<Merged "Ed Called Lt Ross "mom" (episode 22)" thread with 5 posts here. 05/19/07 ~Tombow>

I heard it, but I knew that he had said it before this... I think that it's almost been a year... I'm not sure.

Maybe he did see her at the gate, but he had kind of lost control when he stepped into that red water, so I don't know whether it was confusion, some memory activated by fright, or he really did see her at the gate...(?)

Amidst all the chaos caused by the red water, Ed was probably reminded of Trisha by the way Maria Ross embraced him. Or he was a little out of touch with reality and thought Ross was Trisha.

Amethyst was right but...it should goes like this:

Ed was probably reminded of Trisha by the way Maria Ross embraced him and in the same time he was a little out of touch with reality and thought Ross was Trisha.

The Red Water never triggered the door to appear...

Yeah... Don't worry... there is nothing wrong with your dub... XD

Just because I found a screen shot...
