[DreamSword]

Act 20

I don't know how I feel about this one.

There are four separate plots going on all at once, and I understand that that's the point; showing how disjointed everyone has become recently.

And yet, I don't know, I just couldn't find myself getting full on invested in any of them. It was like, as soon as I was beginning to settle in to the idea of one story, another would jump in and interrupt.

Again, there's a high chance that it is very much the intentional effect, and thus, in a technical sense, this episode and the way it's structured is really smart. But in terms of my own personal feelings, it's not quite optimal. Wouldn't argue with anyone who really liked this episode, though.

As such, I'll end this post off by just detailing the important bits of the story thus far: Serena figures out that Darien is engaged, Lita figures out the identity of Tuxedo Mask, Raye suspects that Mina might not be the Princess afterall, and Amy ends up getting taken by Malachite. The cliffhangers that this episode ends on are great, but I feel like the journey there could've been a little cleaner.
