FMA dub episode 50

[timepiececlock]

Episode 50 discussion, page 10: the exact page on the AS boards where people blow their tops. Aahhh, I remember that viewing experience. There was screaming and freaking out galore.

Fantastic performance with the dub, just like the last few episodes. My only sadness is that Ed's line "Don't fuck with me!" was changed to something a little more tv-safe. Will it be on the DVD, one hopes?

To my great pleasure, they didn't cut out either of the two really bloody scenes in this episode, the one with Wrath and the one at the end. I'd been wondering how they were going to handle it considering you simply CAN'T edit those scenes out and expect the episode's events to make sense, and AS had edited things weaker than that before. I guess by the time they got this far they just threw their hands in the air and said "Aw, screw it! This show's too gorey to fix. We'll just have to play it as is."

Ooh, and a very amusing/traumatic link: Click here only if you've seen episode 50 and need to scream. This is the spoiler of all spoilers. Well, the second-best spoiler of all spoilers cause nothing tops alternate universe zepplins.

EDIT: This is either the best or worst FMA shirt I've ever seen.

geglash: Okay, okay, here's my theory: Ed isn't dead. Can't possibly be. No way in hell. The show will think up some slippery sh*t to get him out of it................

........and everyone will live happily ever after (except f*cking Envy, he'll drown in a pool of lava) and eat lollipops and snuggle puppies and la la la la la.....*curls into fetal position*.............la la la la la la la la la la la.........

"pool of lava" is so nicely original and graphic.

That's 2/3 into episode 51, the finale. Episode 50 opens with Ed just landing in London. He talks to Hohenheim until a zepplin crashes on him (just found out-- aparently the Londoners really did bring down a zepplin on that historical date) and his Alter!Ed body dies. He comes back through the gate, tussles with Envy, and the episode ends with his GIGANTIC GOREY CHEST WOUND. And there was screaming because, DUDE, Ed was supposed to be the safe one. There was a movie poster, dammit.
