War and Peace and War

[Skyfire]

Almost exactly a year ago, two episodes were recommended to me: “Stress Test” and “War and Peace and War.” Well, I saw “Stress Test” back in the summer for the first time – I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed any other episode, but it didn’t jump out at me all that much.

But a couple of months ago, I saw “War and Peace and War” for the first time…

AND LOVED IT!!!!

Holy nova, what a totally epic episode!! It really doesn’t get much better than this!

Okay, first off, it’s my favorite BLoSC animators. That alone (for me) makes it a joy to watch. (Although they twice make mistakes with Zurg! When the Grubs hijack that ship, the red “lining” on Zurg’s vambrace is grey instead of red. And when he orders the firing of the HYPER death ray, his eyes invert color briefly. O.o?) But overall, the quality is stellar, and I think it’s very, very close to how TAB looks. Sometimes, Buzz is definitely TAB style.

Artistic quality aside… Second, it’s just got a great story. I take a little bit of issue with Mira’s and the Commander’s reactions, but that’s it.

Third, this is one of theee best Buzz episodes ever! Y’know, episodes that focus on Buzz? This has gotta be the top.

Fourth, it’s also a great Zurg episode!

Fifth, THEY WORK TOGETHER. THERE IS NOTHING MORE AWESOME THAN THAT. (Well, I can think of one thing, but that’s shipper-tinted.) ;D


BUZZ:
Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy??

ZURG:
Say it ain’t so, Grubs! […] The Hyper Death Ray. <<cradles it lovingly>> It reaped death, and then some.


…My mom loves the part near the end when Buzz and Zurg are arguing about evil coming out on top, and Zurg rhymes. Lol!

…Oh, and I can’t help but mention this: At the end, we see Team Lightyear. *singsong* Mira’s resting her arm on Buzz *drops singsong* - she’s leaning on Buzz! O.O


…Ahem, anyway... BEST EPISODE EVER!!!

LOL. Love the ending with Buzz and Zurg and the rhyming!

I'd post the dialouge between the two of them, but I'm a little pressed for time. If anyone has ever really listened to this...second best part of the episode. In my own opinion of course.

Since there was a request for the rhyming dialogue:

"I owe you one, Zurg. But next time I see you, I'm gonna take you down and bring you in."
"Ha! Not likely, Lightyear. Next time around, evil's coming out on top."
"Will not."
"Will so."
"You wish!"
"I know!"

I'm rather fond of the peace song, myself. It's just so ridiculous. (XR and XL tangoing. Awesome.) The fact that it's completely ironic, of course, makes it even better.

Lol. That was funny.

Loved the peace song because it was just so funny (you know, everyone huggin' and dancin')
Really loved it when XR took Mira and began to dance (he was havin' fun you could tell. Why wouldn't he?)

[littlefan]

XR and XL dancing tango XD. That was so funny. XL danced for the girl...

[xrofdoom]

LOL. That was funny when XR and XL were tango'n (is this even a word...probably not I LIKE to make up words is fun!). Also liked the part when booster was all like..."peace dude". That made me laugh.

Wasn't there already a thread for this episode...? I may be wrong, but...

Aha, no, as right. It's right here: xrfanclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=eps&action=display&thread=463

Might a suggest a merge of the threads?

[Skyfire]

ARGH!! STUPID!! *head-desk*
...I don't know how to merge.
