You can see where people would like both easily.<br /><br />I agree. Cowboy Bebop is more noir than science fiction and I like it for that.<br /><br />The moment with the spores you mentioned I liked alot. I sometimes enjoy moments in the series rather than entries on the whole. The series has been good overall so far. <br /><br />I really loved Ballad Of Fallen Angels. It's been my favorite so far. We'll see where it goes and how it all ends.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-26710462203562793152009-10-15T06:05:52.803-04:002009-10-15T06:05:52.803-04:00Man, I loved this episode I'm not sure what yo...Man, I loved this episode I'm not sure what your problem is. Speaking as a die-hard fan of Firefly, I say give me Bebop any day of the week. <br /><br />Perhaps the problem is that you seem to be expecting, first and foremost, a science fiction series. It may be one, but not primarily. It's more a film noir sent in space. <br /><br />With the exception of the sublime Ballad of Fallen Angels, most of the great episodes are yet to come for you (and I do think that there's a stretch of some blah episodes in a row with Sympathy for the Devil, Heavy Metal Queen and Jamming with Edward) so I hope you like it better... but if you didn't like this episode, and weren't just enamored with the mood of it all as Spike walked down that street with the spores in the air as that haunting melody played on the music box... then I dunno what to tell ya.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
