[Locke]

W 19.

Man after the heartbreak of the last episode, this is just what I needed. The stuff in the billiards room, when Accel drew his ridiculous sword, Phillip in his costume and the transformation sequence when Phillip was distracted. HILARIOUS.

It was a really interesting episode as well, like why a police detective would be allowed to work in bright red biking leathers, and who or what exactly is Shroud.

Accel is...interesting. He's undeniably badass - with so many cool lines but the atrocious CGI of his bike henshin slightly undermined the coolness of the moment.

Plus, I dunno, why a fire motorbike motif? It seems a really weird choice for this badass detective. His suit is weirdly bulky as well, I kinda wish, with a name like 'Accel' that it'd be more streamlined - or at least cut down on all the external stuff jutting out and flapping around.

It's so weird how nonchalant Sho is about being a Kamen Rider. He openly transforms in front of everyone - as do the Sonozaki's for some reason - and rides around on Ws bike even when not transformed, then acts surprised when people already know! He may as well wear a sign.
