Taking the scenic route

the whole council of elrond scene is better with swearing

put it right at the beginning to just fuck with the audience from the get-go, make them wonder if it’s going to happen again and it just won’t

maybe the real philosophers stone were the friends we made along the way

Katara: aang how do I get revenge on those who have forsaken me?

Aang: How did it go?

The Cowboy Bebop episode Pierrot le Fou transcends entertainment and enters into the realm of high art.

By the way I am not saying it is better than the other episodes, or even that good. The plot isn’t really original or intriguing, it doesn’t further the overall story and It doesn’t move any character in their respective arcs either. Hell, I’d go as far as call it boring and predictable.
