Undead Astronauts

this week’s episode is the season finale. i didn’t realize it was going to be a seasonal thing, but that makes sense since they’ve only scratched the tip of the iceberg in terms of plot.

finally we see the main team gathered up in to a group… but we don’t get to see them dance! argh!! we also don’t get to see the enemy camp’s composition. it would’ve been nice if they also showed the opposing team gathered. hopefully they’ll have more plot on tap (har har) next season.

here’s this week’s episode. it doesn’t further the plot unfortunately, and the dancing is uneven. the unevenness is on purpose of course, but still kinda slow.

late posting this b/c i’ve been traveling, but this and the past two episodes were great. this has to be one of my favorite episodes and not just b/c of harry shum jr., although of course that just makes everything better. it reminds me of rpg’s and what happened when u failed to identify an item before equipping it.

due to sc2, i haven’t even had a chance to watch these, but here they are.

so chapters 4 & 5 are out and we see our first battle. i gotta say, i think these battles work better as metaphor than actual battle. the dance, as always, is impeccable, but i’m not sure it feels like a coherent whole when u put it in a real world setting. but perhaps they’ll explain what’s going on in future episodes. i hope they don’t just gloss over this point.

In a past life, Skybird X was all about Asian and Asian American media. I still follow the scenes somewhat, but there’s only so much you can do to stay engaged when you’re in the Deep South. I caught a bit of a sketch collaboration among NigaHiga, Kevjumba and the Poreotics. I have to say I’m really impressed with all three and what they do creatively, it’s kinda inspiring in my opinion.
