Whoever’s in charge of the writing needs to be shot out of it.

Impressions:

Oho. A shocking, twist-filled episode. Let’s list them all out:

Evil Wizard comes back to life when you bring enough body parts and mojo together.

And that’s it. Jesus H Christ, Bones. Maybe they think that the mystery of Ghost Boy being Evil Wizard is supposed to be similarly shocking, but come on, people. How would anything be the slightest bit different if Ghost Boy simply never existed at all? The answer is it wouldn’t. Kind of like if they replaced Frederika with a flying spell. Or maybe it’s the existence of a goddamned orbital cannon. Good god, it’s making me long for the days when villains were flying ships powered by hundreds of thousands of tortured women crammed into the walls. At least they didn’t involve secret magical sciency satellite death cannons. Also powered by ‘suffering’ and ‘hate,’ but only when not directed at or directly caused by you, I guess, because this “all as planned” ploy wasn’t moronic enough as it already was. God help us because I think the next ‘logical’ step is Frederika turning into an F-14 so Toru can shoot it down.

Basically, it was an exposition episode, and I don’t think I need to go into what happens every time that this show tries to do that. Just like last time (or the time before it), it also involved a squid. That was again the high point. Well, truthfully, Frederika vomiting herself up was probably the high point. I bet that’d be an amusing gif when reversed. And why do they keep flip flopping back and forth between her transforming and her wearing a series of skin-suits anyway? The rest was a series of either boring conferences from the League of Ordinary Gentlemen or antagonists monologing their imbecilic plans to come back to life and wear their hair over their eyes and listen to the Clash because screw your rules, man. We’re darkness and evil.

Next Episode:

I hope they fly into space and die.
