Detective Opera Milky Holmes #07 — Invasion! Squid-Eating Girl
November 18th, 2010
What won’t she put in her mouth?
Impressions:
Pretty good episode, especially for Nero’s obligatory "using her Toy again" deal. Thankfully, aside from that, almost no time was spent on Nero. Aside from ineffectively trying to use her Toy a couple times and being attacked (in multiple ways) by a gull, it was mostly just about the random traps in the random beach-mansion-cave-lair. One does have to wonder where Arsene is hiding all those gadgets in the skimpy swimsuit. Maybe that’s why she bounces so much when she walks.
Cordelia really stole the show with her cave madness though. Poor girl never catches a break in this show. At least she got a good meal out of it in the end… and a taste of Hercule’s ear… Still probably not worth being smacked around, insane, or molested by kelp, but probably beats being trapped in a coffin with Twenty again. The rest of G-4 was a little more fun than usual this week. I approve of their readiness to resort to violence as the first resort and barely suppressed lesbian tendencies, but they’re still a little lacking, especially after the focus given to the throwaway characters in past episodes.
And it’s now been two episodes without any naked Twenty. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Preview:
Fire, wind, ice, idiots.

I found that a bitter smile worked best in this case.
