MARCOH THAT HE SUSPECTS THE HOMUNCULI WANT TO MAKE A <b>GIANT TRANSMUTATION CIRCLE.<\/b><\/li>\n<li>JUST LIKE IN THE FIRST EPISODE<\/li>\n<li>THE ANSWER WAS IN THE FIRST FUCKING EPISODE ALL ALONG<\/li>\n<li>I HATE ALL OF YOU<\/li>\n<li>(i don&#8217;t really but part of me will because this show is pain all of the time)<\/li>\n<li>oh my god are they going to use humans themselves as miniature transmutation circles<\/li>\n<li>i can&#8217;t even deal with this.<\/li>\n<li>OH, PRIDE SHOWS UP FOR THE FIRST TIME, TOO. Granted, we don&#8217;t <i>see<\/i> her, but she&#8217;s there, talking with Wrath about recent events. Why would Father view Wrath&#8217;s comments about the next generation as blasphemy? I don&#8217;t get it.<\/li>\n<li>WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING IN GLUTTONY&#8217;S STOMACH<\/li>\n<li>WHAT IS THAT<\/li>\n<li>WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THE GATE<\/li>\n<li>WHAT THE HELL DID GLUTTONY EAT<\/li>\n<li>PS: THAT THING CAN JUST <i>SWALLOW FIRE<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li>WHY IS THERE A DOG WITH RED EYES<\/li>\n<li><i>WHY ARE A THOUSAND DIFFERENT THINGS ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME FUCKING TIME<\/i><\/li>\n<li>You know, I found Mustang&#8217;s objection to leaving Ed and Al behind kind of strange because\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 dude, they&#8217;ve already done <i>so much<\/i> as &#8220;kids&#8221; as it is. I think they&#8217;ve proven that they can handle themselves, you know? But I liked the end result of it: Al rejects the notion that just because they&#8217;re kids, they can&#8217;t help. I LOVE IT.<\/li>\n<li>Envy&#8217;s behavior is so <i>jarring<\/i> at first because he genuinely was there just to get Gluttony and leave! Of course, it doesn&#8217;t take much time to piss him off, and then there&#8217;s a fight, and it&#8217;s <i>ridiculous<\/i>. Actually, my favorite part about the dual fight sequence is Gluttony just trying to avoid the Elric brothers since he can no longer eat them.<\/li>\n<li>I am 1 trillion percent done with that scene at the Bradley home. No. <i>No!<\/i> That is not okay. It&#8217;s NOT OKAY. Does Bradley&#8217;s wife know who he is? Oh god, Selim clearly doesn&#8217;t. IT&#8217;S GOING TO HURT SO MUCH.<\/li>\n<li>Hey, what about that casual reveal from Ling that he&#8217;s been subject to assassination attempts since he was a kid? That&#8217;s fun. THIS IS A SHOW FULL OF JOY AT ALL TIMES.<\/li>\n<li>And you know, the big plot twist in the middle of this episode really felt like the centerpiece, simply because I didn&#8217;t know how you could top that. Gluttony miscalculates his weird energy beam and swallows Ling, Edward, and Envy. Until the end of the episode, I kind of sat there in shock because\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 how could they survive that? Did this show just kill off one of the main characters? That can&#8217;t happen, can it?<\/li>\n<li>But then this is followed up with Colonel Mustang meeting with Lt. General Raven at Central Command, which is really adorable at first. Clearly, Mustang is taking up both Maes&#8217;s and Edward&#8217;s advice. He&#8217;s trying to make as many friends as possible <i>while<\/i> doing something about what he&#8217;s learned. Of course, things got real uncomfortable when Mustang made that Homunculus joke, but I thought I had it all figured out. I thought that when the door opened upon all the top members of the state military, he was going to have a captive audience. He <i>was<\/i>, though not in the way that he expected.<\/li>\n<li>I just can&#8217;t. Maes Hughes found out that the corruption was not an outside influence. <b>THE TOP MILITARY OFFICERS KNEW THAT BRADLEY WAS A HOMUNCULUS THE WHOLE TIME.<\/b><\/li>\n<li>HOW<\/li>\n<li>HOW THE FUCK IS THIS POSSIBLE?!!?!?<\/li>\n<li><i>OH MY GOD, WHERE WAS EDWARD TRANSPORTED TO? <\/i>Are Ling and Envy alive as well?<\/li>\n<li>I still hate all of you for doing this to me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/markdoesstuff.com\/products\/mark-watches-fullmetal-alchemist-brotherhood\" target=\"_blank\">The video commission for this episode is now archived in my store for just $0.99!
