If I started using '*cries*' in all of my posts, would you still love me?
I don't really have any distance from this right now. I thought someone was going to die, but I didn't think it was going to be Karin. Who, I think, now that I've listened more carefully, is actually named 'Karim'. I didn't realize just how much I liked these characters. Or Zagi. Oh, Zagi. ZagiZagiZagi. God, I didn't realize just how much I liked you until you went down. And, he used the last bit of his energy to try and warn Thor. I thought he was dead when his hand fell, but Thor said he was alive. I hope he doesn't die, but stomach wounds are Very Bad Things, even with proper medical facilities. And Thor was so broken up. The way he knelt there, with Zagi's head on his lap an hand in Zagi's hair, when he realized he was mistaken, that he'd possibly killed Zagi for no reason.
It's pretty obvious that Third stabbed karim. I have to admire him in a twisted sort of way. He knew Thor wouldn't ordinarily even think about fighting Zagi. He managed to derail Zagi's plans, get Zagi (Someone who is, not only another schemer, a person who could recognize and warn Thor about his own plans.) out of the way, remove a distraction to Thor, and get himself included in the delegation to Hecate. What I don't get is what he gets out of it. I don't really buy his story about having a girl he wants to see again. Or maybe I do, I'm not sure what I think about him anymore. I liked Third. But Zagi. Zagi knew. After Third got up pronounced it a fight for Jyu-Oh (much like at the end of episode 4 with Top) he looked up and Third and you just knew he knew, and he went and fought Thor anyway. You have to admire the way the Zagi and Third were set up. Both are remarkably similar, and you never actually see Third kill someone, whereas we're shown Zagi has no qualms about killing someone who's in his way. And yet, Third gradually made me feel more and more uneasy, and well, I think it's clear how much I love Zagi, when his arm fell, I flinched. When Third walked up and said "That was well done" to Thor in that matter-of-fact tone, I wanted to stab him. Stabbittystabstabstab.
Oh Zagi. I don't think he was planning anything which would have hurt Thor at all. Oddly enough, his insistence on explaining to karin that Thor was only an important card made me believe the reverse was true.
I have no hopes for a happy end at this point. I also think Rai is actually alive because how else could you make things worse for Thor than to have the brother whose death he's never gotten over actually turn out to be alive and holding a grudge. I do wonder what Chimera's purpose is. I can't help but think of it as a giant lab. Judging from the preview, Thor, Tiz, and Third meet Odin and Loki. Thor gets some kind of huge shock, judging from his face. They also show a picture of Thor's mother holding one of the twins. And, Oh. My. God. The screen Odin is in front of, a picture of Chimera, has the words 'copy' and 'upload' at the top. Could the twins have been engineered somehow? Are they trying to create another Earth? Two more episodes to go.
(spoiler space, just in case)
It's getting harder and harder not to look for spoilers.
Unrelated, does anyone want a dvd full of Final Fantasy stuff? I accidentally burned two copies. It's got AC, Last Order, the subtitled clips from DoC, a few KH clips, the clip of the opening of FFXII, two videos of "Redemption" 1)the preview released for DoC, and Gackt's music video (subbed), and OSTs(everything related to FVII, including the piano release, AC, and DoC).
P.S. I think someone needs to take responsibility and write Man/Dragon fic since she keeps pushing the dragon books at people. *eyes Meg*
