I refuse to learn anything from Xebec.

Semi-Impressions:

Fantastic. The entire first quarter of the episode was them just being naked and rubbing each other. It wasn’t even Xebec enough to be amusing. Almost the entire rest of the episode was spent on edutainment and I’m not nearly enough (or any) of a gun nut to be able to clap my hands like a harp seal and go "Oh mah gaw! Bang shooty things that I recognize!" So with one episode that was all sex jokes, one episode that was half-assed action, and one that was basically a string of lectures, I’m really not sure what the show’s trying to do. I wish it was trying to… oh, I don’t know… be funny, but apparently that’s just the fevered pipe dream of an addled mind.

Also, I’d be lying if I didn’t say that a bunch of Japanese children badly singing Row Row Row Your Boat didn’t make a vein begin throbbing on my forehead and a pink mist descend over my vision. The bagpipes not long after that only made matters worse.

So unless there are any particularly compelling and/or strenuous objections, with both Korra having quite a good episode today and YJ being solid in general since its return from its break (and its ‘season’ resetting next week anyway) while this had… this, I think I’m about ready to give a little western Saturday experiment a try for the season. I just need to find all the scattered parts of my TV Capture card and remember how to put it back together again. A veritable Legend of Zelda-esque adventure through my apartment if ever there was one.

Some nonsense about idols.
