Nearly perfect, so I'm very worried about the next episode. What I enjoyed most is that everybody did not, in fact, live happily ever after. There's a tragedy at the heart of the show: we've known since the earliest episodes that Roidmude aren't necessarily evil. I'd hoped that some of them could be saved, but I can enjoy what's essentially a somewhat sad ending, too.

This series seems to have followed in the tradition of Gaim and Wizard, in which what I think of as the true finale happens before the last episode to air. I'm just hoping the final episode won't do something stupid to undercut everything that happened this week. I'm already concerned because clearly, there will be more in-suit antics next week, when this week's story strongly implies that there should be no more suit scenes. We saw something in the "next week" preview that I may have a real problem with.

But yeah, this isn't the first Drive episode to have me on the edge of tears. I'm a little surprised that the series managed to recover from the mediocrity it had been wallowing in. Then again, didn't the head writer work on W?

The Ghost cameo worked really well for me.

(On another note: guys, seriously, OOO spoilers in a Drive response thread? We're a community that will always have people who are still catching up. I'm on OOO 36.)

Still, nice drive. Turns out all we needs WAS Drive.
