no they will not posted:

What happened to Faye Valentibe? They set up this great character with an intriguing backstory and not only do they not resolve her character arc, she doesn't even appear in the last five or so episodes! Instead we get the infinitely less interesting "Faye Valentine" without even an explanation. That's just really shoddy storytelling.

In the episode with the cult controlled by the face in the tv, why did it suddenly jump cut to some black kid in a hospital bed? Was that like a conceptual thing, like, religion saps us of our individual humanity? If that IS what they were going for I didn't get it at all, it just seemed like a non-sequitor. "Too deep for me" I guess.

Not sure if this is a problem with the show itself or just the dub, but did Spike ever manage to shoot all those guys at the end? I don't even know why the edited out the gun. 4kids up to no good again, I guess. I'll stick to subs next time.

Like I said, any light you can shed on these issues would be most appreciated. I really did like this show. Cheers!

You are mistaking. Faye Valentibe and Faye Valentine are the same character.

It has been a while, but I believe the kid in the hospital bed was using his "mind" to control a bunch of people. Think kind of like the matrix.

Spike kills his arch nemesis Vicious and then Spike himself dies. He killed everyone he wanted to kill. They didn't edit out a gun in the final frame, he was just using his fingers to simulate having a gun to be funny/ironic/symbolic.

Hope that helps.

Cowboy Bebop was okay. I thought the music was way better than the rest of the show.

Dude there was no gun

When Spike realizes how cool and retarded everything is he points his finger at the sky and laughs

Thanks. I'm glad to finally get a decent answer.

Mulva: Sep 13, 2011; It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.

I love the director for going "Nah Spike didn't die, he just passed out. He's totally fine after all that.". Because why not?
