#42: "A FINE MESS" -- OH, MY, A SITCOM!
-
[spoiler]
Geez, they MUST be running out of ideas, to resort to this old turnip! The episode title is taken from the Laurel and Hardy movies, but I doubt that Stan and Ollie ever tried this gimmick. Well, I shouldn't rant and rave, because I just do not like this theme, and lots of other people do.
-
Anyway, there is the ABSURD (which is fun in animé productions) and there is just-plain-STUPID (as in brain-trade stories.) A logical person finds the myriad flaws in the latter rather distracting, and tedious.
-
Our CL people made the one, biggest mistake that everyone makes (and virtually every cartoon series ever made has included an episode of brain-trade.) They always have the characters' voices jump with the personality into the other body. But the pitch and timbre of a voice is physical, determined by the sex and morphology of the body. It would stay WITH the BODY!
-
Other matters:
Someone made the remark that Odd is going steady with TWO girls?
-
Ulrich might want to mess with a female partner, but why would Odd's personality be so anxious to mess with a MALE partner? (Don't answer that!)
-
The creepers looked completely different to me. Didn't they used to have bigger heads, less pointed tails, and cylindrical arms? I must check my early-seas-2 recordings. Jer referred to the creepers with a name ending in ...illa, I think, but I couldn't get the whole word.
-
A brief look at my beloved slot-elevators again. Neat-o!
-
[/spoiler]Overall rating: I could have done without it....
