Well gently caress me raw, here I was hoping for the good old mentor relationship, instead I get the most egregious instance of leg fetishism outside of a Tarantino film

Oh well show still good I guess

Are they going to gently caress or are they just loving with us? Stay tuned to find out!

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
I like that Jack figured out the Tigers were bad because their Shirts spelled out mean things. Was a goofy cool visual though.

The shipping is just way too weird for this show. It doesn't seem to fit with the tone of what we've seen thus far.

It's a shame the romance stuff was so... present. Because the monster was cool as gently caress and I am so there for what basically amounted to a Samurai Jack episode set in a Metroid game

That was otherwise nnnnottttt goooooddddd. Even without how hamhanded it was, what was the point? Was any of this really worth spending one of our ten episodes on?

Well that's taking a whole point off my scoreboard. 9/10. In all seriousness though, what the gently caress?! How did we go from a three part Ecstasy of Gold tier cinema quality entertainment to this?

Oh, man.

I'm not opposed to the idea at play, here and I don't even have any problems with the execution, but spending a whole episode on that.

That's some questionable time budgeting.

That romance stuff was so hamfisted and poorly done. Even if you wanted them to be together, I can't see how you could like that episode.

Shaped like a friend

Ashi loving sucks and I hate that this is how Samurai Jack seems to be concluding.

I really liked the start of the series and up until the escape but after the throwback episode it's just gotten worse and worse.

That wasn't a good episode. Like I'm sure the next few will be fine, but this one wasn't great.

Yeah that's really the umbrella all the show's problems are underneath--even if this was handled much more tastefully, the episode still would have felt like a waste. With more time to breathe this wouldn't really have been a bad plot development but with 10 episodes this just felt like a mistake.

Having a love interest is something I'm not inherently opposed to, it's a traditional part of these big Conan-y epics, but I don't think that was particularly well done. Maybe it was rushed, maybe this dude just doesn't know how to write romance (although there was that stuff with the robot kid and the cheerleader in Symbionic Titan). In any case, ehhhh.

I mean, I don't have a problem with them being a thing, it's just that it was handled in such a stock and fanservice-y way, and the episode feeling like filler to begin with didn't help it.

I am impressed with Genndy's insistence on Jack never being fully clothed for the entirety of an episode though. It's been, what, since Episode 1 of this season that he's managed to stay dressed the entire time?

We've got what, two more episodes?

Like, I get why they did this this way, but there was a much more time-efficient way to do it that wouldn't have cut two incredibly important story beats (Jack confronting Mad Jack/getting his sword back and Ashi confronting her mom) down to a couple minutes each.

We're down to two episodes left, here and we have a ton of stuff to wrap up. I dunno that we're gonna get the great climax we want, here.
