These two episodes make it seem like Tartakovsky never stopped thinking about a possible Samurai Jack finale for the last thirteen years. It's all so very in tune with the first four seasons. Even when given the opportunity for excess from Adult Swim, we instead get what we've seen here, which only what feels like a natural continuation and growth from the original.

WHY BONER NOW posted:I'd never seen an episode of this show but I caught a clip of the latest one, so I watched the entire episode and was floored. What a well made show, lots of emotional depth and I don't even know what the hell is going on. The fights with the assassins were super tense, especially when he was hiding in the coffin. The music (especially when he was hiding), the art, everything was so impressive. The look of regret when he killed that one assassin. The wolf was just meant to parallel his situation. The dagger was something he acquired in the last episode (first of the new season), from Scaramouche. It's a sonic thing. As mentioned, it causes the things it hits to explode. The fireflies were attracted to living things, I think. The assassins, Jack, the roots of the tree. I can only guess about why he didn't squash the firefly; perhaps he assumed that they already saw the light seeping through the cracks. To smash the bug would only confirm his presence. He only had to hope that they didn't see him, would write it off as nothing, or failing that wait until the last moment to strike as he ended up doing in the episode.

I wonder if maybe getting someone entirely different wouldn't have been better. He's not bad, but the imitation makes the difference all the more apparent. Sort of like trying to wear two pieces of clothing that seem to be the same color--only they're not quite so the difference sticks out more.

VJeff posted:Hey, is there any kind of official CN/Adult Swim/Toonami stream that'll stream Jack as it airs that I can log into with my cable info? I have PS Vue, but I'm somewhere without it at the moment. Since you have cable, Adult Swim has a live stream http://www.adultswim.com/videos/simulcast. They hide it every time they change up their site.
