Score: A+/A+

You want a loaded finale? You GOT it with this one! ESPECIALLY if you take into consideration the way the last episode ends! Everyone was in tears (and denials and rage) over Kotetsu’s death. I admit, I was just “NO NO NO HE CANT BE DEAD HE CANT BE THE SIGNALS ARNT COMING CAUSE HIS SUIT IS ALL SMASHED” Lemme tell you, GLAD AS HELL that was the case. And by GOD, I wanted to smooch Kotetsu when he pointed out the obvious “Why didnt you check my pulse?” SMOOCH! It really was a great finale and it tied up the storyline for the Maverick arc BUT still left the Ouroborus plot line hanging. Not to mention that thing which Maverick says right before mind wiping himself? Clearly hints that there’s bigger fish to fry. Thats a plot point that clearly needs dealing with and personally, I think it’d be poor taste if it doesnt get dealt with.

Rotwang….falling to his death like that? Cold Maverick, so fucking COLD. I mean, he didnt even BLINK before shaking the man off. Well…I guess thats what you get for trusting a guy like Maverick. I wonder though….with Rotwang and Maverick dead…what is gonna be done with the androids now? Is it possible that we’ll see more of em in the next season? Or in NEXT Project?

Maverick mind wiping himself…ugh. That was half lame Maverick  T_T I mean, way to show yourself like a chicken shit. A stronger villain wouldnt have done that, thats for sure.  Just….chicken shit *glares at Maverick* Way to take the easy way out. SO GLAD that Lunatic stopped the car and took care of Maverick. Nicely done Lunatic *applauds* I hadnt been expecting that one. But yeah Maverick. I find it a tad….peeving that other than his confession, there really wasnt much in terms of evidence to prove that he was a villain. I mean, the man really covered his tracks up well. And that pisses me off cause, look at the way he got rid of Samantha and then tried to put it on Kotetsu. He pulled that plan outta his ass at the last minute and that well down FINE. Given that it was a plan that he cooked up so quickly, I was expecting the plan to have flaws and it didnt….I guess maybe that shows that Maverick was a genius? I mean….then again, at one level hes GOTTA be. I mean, if you go by what he says bout helping Heroes to get to where they are and puttin Sternbild on the map….guess you gotta be a bit of a genius anyways right? Well in any even, glad that man’s gone and dealt with!

Kotetsu coming back outta retirement and then Barnaby catching him as he falls (AGAIN) was the BEST win. Or wait no, them BICKERING was the BEST WIN of the episode. I mean, after ALL THE CRAP that they were put through in the past episodes, seeing them get their dynamic again was just fucking CAKE. Like double chocolate cake! Fucking brilliance XD

So…there’s a NEXT project to look forward to in November. Can we assumed that its a season 2? OR MAYBE ITS A MOVIE?! *gawks* Could that be it? Its clear that they’ll be dealing with the Ouroborus story in it cause….hell, what else could it be? Plus, that ominous after credit clip of the dollar bill …. yeah, I’m set on that one. Kinda disappointed that they didn’t cover it in the second arc of this season but at the same time, if we’re gonna get a season 2 or movie in which we deal with it in a deeper and more through manner, all the more to it y’ know? I dig that 🙂

BEN AND SAITO WORKING TOGETHER OH ME STILL MY FANGIRL HEART *flails* Now thats a bromance to end all bromances! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! And oh my GOD. Is Ben managing Kotetsu AND Barnaby?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *flails excitedly* SO. MUCH. WIN. I cannot handle it i cannot!

So….lets wait it out for 11/13 eh? *twiddles thumbs* Time to head into the New 52/DCU reboot till then
