I have five short things to say about the season finale:
1. Fuck.
2. Jonesy!
3. I maintain hope that Jonesy is still alive. After all, last season finale I thought both he and Sophie were dead, and they turned out not to be. And the end of the episode was really vague as to Jonesy's fate.
4. If Sophie is a healer now (which she appears to be), and the power does alternate roles every generation (which it has so far), then Sophie, being the daughter of the antichrist and having christ-like powers, should be the next christ role. She should be Ben's successessor, and therefor good. So what the fuck is up with the black evil eyes and JONESY DAMMIT HOW YOU COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?!?!
5. Very slick how the good/evil conflict is now going to shift from family conflict to romantic conflict. Poor Ben... I can see it now.
Ben: "Sophie! You're alive! I'm so glad you're okay! Let's make moon eyes at each other for hours in our puppy love state!"
Sophie: **black eyes** "I HAVE COME FOR YOUR SOUL BEN HAWKINS!"
Ben: "You don't love me anymore?!"
Sophie:"I VANT TO SZUCK YOUR BLTHOOD!"
FMA
Just a side note to say that I really liked the dub of episode 20, now that I finally saw it. The voice actors for Alphonse and Barry and No. 48 were all wonderful in this ep. No. 48 also sounded kinda like Darth Vader meets Mufasa of The Lion King, which ended up being more cool than cheesy. Maybe they secretly hired James Earl Jones? Nah, probably not.

Date: 2005-03-29 08:06 am (UTC)I wonder if Justin will have power any more, if he's brought back to life?
If she is Ben's successor, though...there's a chance she might be pregnant with Ben's kid (since they did have sex). So, if that's the case she'd be the mother of her opposite. That would be pretty fucked up.
I've been thinking about that since we knew he was her father and she and Ben slept together. It would be very, very fucked up.
Lodz said she was the Omega...I don't think we really know what that means in the context of what's going on. I don't recall him ever referring to Ben as the Omega (but then again, I haven't watched season 1 since it first aired, so I might be wrong). So she might be something unique because the combination of her mother's and Justin's powers did something freaky to her.
Yep. So far she's the daughter of a powerful psychic, she's the daughter of the antichrist figure, and she's had sexual relations/ strong emotional ties to the christ figure and may be pregnant with his child.
That's a pretty busy spiritual life and a large set of divine influences she's got swirling around her.
