Me 8 minutes in with no Sachika.

That bit in Jurassic Park where Hammond is watching Malcolm on the CCTV asking if they're going to have dinosaurs in the dinosaur park.

There she is! We're really going to go three (might even be four?) episodes of her in one outfit? Like, yes, these are set over hours, but earlier in the season she was getting through two fits a show regardless of narrative logic.

Well, as least it looks like Sachika will have more to do in the vcinema, the way they're killing off cast members there's going to be no one else to give stuff to. Jeebh wound up one of the show's wins in the end, though. And I suppose Rakia could turn out to survive that fall...

A new outfit! The show continuing it's odd directorial choice of not giving us a great look at a lot of her fits right till the end. I assume the person gardening outside was a cameo of some sort?

I did wounder if they'd save Rakia's fate till the vcinema, so nice to see it confirmed he's OK. But no reaction at all from Sachika at being cut off forever from him after their bubbling little thing?! It's like the one moment she could have had that was about her!

Do wonder if there's a longer version they'll release. Happens sometimes. Although I don't think the gang are sure what Rakia did cos he didn't tell them he was gonna destroy all the doors. I suppose you'd expect them to assume he died, which should deserve a scene.

I also don't know that he fully intended to not make it out, since he says "I messed up" at 9ne point.

I think he accepted he was going to lock himself out as well when he destroyed the doors, it was the fall (that I think he was expecting to kill him) he'd messed up on.

Yeah, like, the last time anyone saw him, he was running into certain death. But even Hanto seemed barely bothered either way.

Definitely feels like they've got more story to tell. Hopefully that upcoming movie doesn't just handwave things to get the gang back together. Do love the show. Just a few small tweaks to how they shoot these shows gave it a slightly different feel to recent ones.

Oh hey, the new guy! Considering giving out Rider themed Gochizo's was his cameo in Gotchard, it's nice symmetry that repeats here.

Hmm, the fights were nice, the Jeebh and Lizel stuff was actually really good, but it felt a bit by the numbers. At no point did I feel Shoma was at any real risk from Lango because he's been such a ruthless killing machine all year, and the nothing Sachika got was actually appalling.
