Hmm, I may have been slanted by the two anime blogs I read to have some comprehension of what's going on in the series. I don't think they put as much of an emphasis on the Kallen/Suzaku talk as you did. It definitely seems more worth my while now. This is good since Kallen's attitude in this episode was irking me, and now I can see there's more to it and that she wasn't just being a spaz. ^^;;

Heh. I need to read this essay.

You know, I hardly remember Fuuma's proposal to the Dragons. But we could easily go for the focus on the eye thing and how Jeremiah probably lost one of his. Or how about the abundance of both gears and feathers in the opening? Hey where's my sakura? For shame, Clamp.
