[b]well guys, this was a deeply metaphysical episode, stanley having to confront his miserable little existence and miserable little excuses to…himself! and prince…i like the idea that we are our own judges, and that we ultimately cannot hide from our own condemnation…i also liked xev’s warm fuzzies in this episode, it’s like when the chips are down she rallies and tries to do the right thing despite all her disappointments (and season 3 over all has not been particularly happy for our xev what with prince and live kai/prince and the cod!)
i am very eager to see the last episode of season three, and then to see it all over again [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] what did you guys think?[/b]
I thought it was a great premise, with the visuals accomplished very well, but the flashback sequences went on for too long. I would have preferred to see some more vehement debate between Stan and Prince about where he belonged. It would have created more tension if Stan had been given more of a chance to voice his side of the story, and we had been led to believe that there was a slight possibility that he might argue his way onto Water.
I did, however, like the near-return to the Xev of Season 2 (she’s been way too cold and impersonal this season), 790 (as always), and the repartee between Stan and Prince was great.
Obscure reference #2: Did anyone besides me expect to see mermaids cavorting with Micky Dolenz during Kai’s voyage to the bottom of the sea? (*Two* meat pies to the first one to Name That Movie!)
