Well, another episode goes by and this one was actually pretty decent, better than that other "filler" episode we had last week (and usually, I'd post about in the threads, but it really didn't appeal to me... though it didn't help that my interest wasn't there. Not a good move).
Anyways, this one wasn't really a typical "filler", despite it "filling" in between the gyms. It actually felt your run of the mill "episode". I was initially going to just do bullet form of what I liked/disliked/odded me out, I figured I'd just respond to any posts that have something similar to what I was going to say.
It was hilarious when Croagunk managed to Poison Jab Brock during Nurse Joy’s speech on the Dustox crossing (he must really enjoy the job he has).
That was probably the funniest thing Croagunk has ever done yet. I mean, he jabs him, then Brock is just standing there the next moment looking all "cool" ans such, then collapses. Either Brock is developing the ability immunity, or Croagunk's Poison Jab isn't quite as effective at knocking down Brock for extended periods of time. But then, that just means he gets to get one more in! hehehe.
It amazed me a little to see that Confusion can be used to move something as big as a small lake. I do find Jessie to be a little annoying, but I did feel bad that she had to release Dustox.[/QUOTE]
WHAT?? Why? Michelle Knotz is great. She rly is, and that scene was excellent, comparing her to her Japanese counterpart Megumi. Now I know why it was called "Crossing Paths"
Not to mention that the whole event in question is called "Dustox Crossing'. But yeah, it works I guess. I found Michelle Knotz did a good job in this episode, if you actually decide to consider it.
So the dub just aired and I have to say that this was a good episode. Pretty sad with Jessie releasing Dustox (even though I knew it was coming). I think one of the best parts of the episode was Jessie smashing Dustox's Poke Ball.
I honestly was waiting for that blue light that signifies "released" as in what Paul does. Granted, this isn't Paul by any means... so that could be ignored.
It just gave that feeling of finality to the whole situation.
Alright, I'll give it that much.
Though I do think the funniest moment was Happiny carrying the giant boulder.
Yes, that was perhaps one of the funniest moments in this episode, besides the 2nd consecutive Poison Jab. She just chucks it and pretty much finishes the wall.
Also, did anyone else besides me notice the background music from Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea when they were refilling the lake?
I would have, but I was too busy "watching" the show. Sorry about that.
I really liked this episode because it's nice to see Jessie getting some character background episodes.[/b]
No kidding. We got one back in Kanto... one in Johto (about a good 200 episode gap) and now one in Sinnoh (add another 300+ episodes). There's such a huge gap in between that it's amazing that it took so long to know her past. Eh, for a 10 year old show that's still running, I suppose it's okay.
One of the few things that I was waiting for to happen, but actually glad it didn't happen was when Ash and co. went to see what was causing the lake to drain. I was half expecting Ash to accuse Team Rocket of causing it.
I was amazed at how quickly Jessie insisted that Dustox should leave and follow it's heart. I got the impression that Jessie would have had a much harder time letting go, but it seemed that she was somewhat easy going with it (lets not go too deep here...).
Now the one thing that bugged me was that guy. I'm certain that that guy just looked liked Jessie's childhood friend and that in no way was him. But, if someone thinks otherwise, well let me know.
I was rather shocked when Jessie decided to "smash" Dustox's pokeball. But, it's not like this hasn't been done before (the pokeball smashing, not the episode).
~C_L~
any way, did anyone but me notice how when Jessie had her flash backs, she looked just like her mom, almost? Also, it seems that every time we see something from Jessie's childhood, she has a different hair style like, at first it was what it is now, then braids or something, then her moms....
