It's good to be back to being like the good old days where the dub was my first exposure to Pokemon episodes. No more JP version ****ing up everything (I mean, really, the Japanese title really dropped the ball by being something as generic as "Beware of Shovels!" Ugh...). Well, except for when some remnants of it remain, like that sucktastic M18JP remix of M02JP's "Escape!" track. I can't believe how much that track rules in M02 but sucks in M18. I've said before and will say again that I consider M18's soundtrack to be "The Best of Shinji Miyazaki: The Uninspired and Awful Edition", and that track is one of the reasons why. They should've gone with the M02 version, then I'd be happy with it. Well, happy as I can be when it comes to the best of JP tracks being wasted on situations that frankly don't warrant them. Seriously, why can't Mima save this stuff for, say, an Aether arc? Or better yet, keep them entirely to the movies they made their debuts in and keep them the **** out of the show!! That way, they won't wear their welcome out!
Anyway, dub music was just normal good.
Well, episode 21 was certainly a tough act to follow, considering its fame. So, why couldn't Ash have jumped out that window he was hanging onto unless Palossand could seriously scoop him back up so easily? Music misuse aside, that was a neat battle at the episode's climax. Plus, nice ending, too. Fortunately, it won't last.
It was an alright episode.
