... wow, just... wow. Given how long since the last one, it may seem odd to say, but it was worth the wait. The scenes of preparation, the moments of character, the scenes with Wall-E and Eve, who are perfect every time I see them... I loved the scene with Chad and Tyr/Shivar. It was quite brilliant actually.

And then it was followed by that sudden shift.

"Mimi, we have a problem. Akio Ohtori is here."

At that point, 'Oh Fuck' became one of the most common thoughts in my head as I watched Freyja destroy herself, the people he'd hurt react to that monsters presence... and then it got worse. Right now, I'm actually wondering if the events of Day of Infamy still happen, watching as everything dialed up to a war footing, as it shifted into fast paced, tense reading despite a lack of action scenes.

The moment with Frigg was utterly brilliant, especially her comments of the Monolith, and then the cliffhanger.

Symphony is back. And it is GOOD.
