[Locke]

Oh wow that torrent downloaded already, time for episode seven!

It's kinda depressing that Eri's only real defining moment was being a prize. And how does a guy with super strength get beaten in a sumo match against an old man and then struggle to garden? And where were all those fancy moves he uses in battle? I'm starting to think the axe isn't heavy at all, Hyde is just a pussy.

It was also a weird decision to make the farmer a likeable, grieving old man only to turn around at the end and just make him out to be a bit sleazy, and for the episode to have none of the depth it appeared to once have. I love these kinds of convention breaker style stories, but it's breaking conventions I actually like and not for the better.

So what are The Warstar exactly? Like I know they are insect aliens, but what is their goal, why are they here? Where did they come from? Why are they only shown as a single ship, yet Drake seems to have endless numbers of soldiers? How can Blade Runner and Dereputa be his generals, yet know nothing of Drake's forces?

Either way, the Researcher made for a pretty good of the week villain, his plan was really fucked up but scarily intelligent for a big supervillain plot. He even had the brains to learn his enemy, and go into battle with tactics. Shame his victory had to be so short lived, as they only have twenty minutes to tell the story.

Also, what the fuck is with the sizes in this show? When the monster first grows and fucks them up a bit, he's about the size of a house, but then when the robo comes in, both the robo and the monster are three times bigger than the multistory buildings around them, it's ridiculous.
