I think P5 was the least stressful of the series. While I didn't get a lot done in my first run, in the second run I had time to spare. I maxed out all the Confidants really early in the game, and for comparison's sake I never ever managed to max them all out in P3 and P4. Also, that fast-forward button is a…

I love the P4 characters, but it's hard to resist how much edgier the P5 kids were. Take away the murder investigation and the P4 gang were mostly good kids who followed the rules. P5 was a gang of delinquints, I loved it. Also, Ann-chan is my second-favorite girlfriend in the series, I love ditzy badasses.

Man, I disagree with… pretty much all of this. I'm not saying that to be pithy or anything, to each his own, but I really really enjoyed this game. I thought it was too *short*, I was even reasonably certain it was shorter than P3 and P4, I had no idea it was 25 hours longer. I loved the characters, which made me…

That would be boss. I'd also be cool with it being a Flash crossover, so we can do it like Final Crisis. Barry and Wally run through the speed force and emerge a week later to find that everyone is living under the anti-life equation! Imagine Ironside doing the voice of Darkseid with all of the masses behind him. …

Superman trusts people (except Luthors, of course), that's part of his DNA. It's how he and Batman can be friends. He had no reason not to trust her to win, and even if she lost he and the others already had a plan B, the whole "we promise to surrender" thing was a complete lie. He was just giving her the chance to…

Ugh, I want a Darkseid episode sooooo baaaad :( And I know the only reason they won't do it is because of the stupid awful movies.

Really loved this episode, and was totally impressed by what they can do on a TV budget. I do wish the Cadmus plot hadn't been overtaken by the Daxam plot in the latter half of the season, but overall a really great climax to end the season on. My favorite part was when the White Martians showed up, because showing…

True, Jack was "setting things right," returning the world to what it would have been if Aku hadn't twisted it. And that is the ending the show has promised us since episode one.

Yeah, pretty much. Without the sword they all would have been wiped out. Although you could say that they all could have worked together with Jack like 50 years ago lol.

That's fair, though I think that may be looking at a show like this a little too realistically. Although I must admit, I expected the ending to SHOW the future of Jack's friends living happily without Aku, and it didn't, so both of our perspectives are definitely valid.

I like that! I prefer this ending, but I like that logic.

I thought this when people were complaining about Ashi being able to wash away her scar tissue a few weeks ago.
1. It's a cartoon.
2. It's a fable.
People really forget #2 a lot. Samurai Jack is a fairy tale, it's not meant to have the same logic as "adult" stories. It's symbolic, not realistic.

One of my favorite tropes is when the hero inspires everyone he's helped to jump to his aide. Every time it happens in Superman comics I choke up. I know one could look at it cynically and say "Oh, so they could have fought Aku whenever they wanted," but I think it's inspirational "We can all be heroes if we believe…

Most of the people were living under the oppression of Aku. Jack undid a thousand years of suffering. Except for Ashi, we can also assume many of those people probably were still born, they just had a chance to live happy lives without Aku dominating their world.

I felt the ladybug was also meant to symbolize that even if all those future people will never technically exist, they may still be out there in some form or another. After all, Jack met the Buddha, so it would make sense that there is a spiritual cycle of reincarnation in his world.

I loved that! I really appreciated that they stopped the action dead for a character gag.

Because some people use self-pity as a way to stroke their own ego.

Sy talked to the cops, so Varga punished him. Seems to me they're just a mob.

True, but he seems to be symbolic of the "New Cop" vs. Gloria's "Old Cop."

I actually took Varga's anti-Semitism at face value, since he was using them on Sy as well. I think his speech about pitchforked peasants was mostly earnest as well. I don't think he's a master manipulator, agent of chaos like Malvo is, I think Varga is just a professional criminal getting the job done.
