And with this episode LAES 2.0 has officially taken the crown for my new favorite TSBS show. Everyone's acting was just amazing in the episode especially Kat and Lilith 👏
Let's get on with the review!
"Earth is finally done!"
The episode opens with Earth and Harvest stepping out of the collapsed cave. (THEY CAVE FREAKIN' COLLAPSED ON THEM AND THEY LIVED!) Earth tries calling Mars but he doesn't pick up. She tries calling Lunar but no answer there either. Earth and Harvest rush down the mountain. Earth says she can help Harvest get down but he says he doesn't need her help and attempts to jump down, Earth catches him, and off they run.
The scene cuts back to the Plex and we see Chico and Mars in the maintenance pod trying to fix up Comedy bot. Chico is missing an arm! And Comedy bot seems to be just... gone.
DJ has Roxas pinned in the corner. He tries to explain himself but she rightly tells him to shut up.
Mars and Chico try to fix him up, but Chico says they can't. Mars tries everything but Comedy bot's circuitry is fried. (I guess the arm Day shot Chico with is just a straight-up plasma gun and the one he shot Comedy bot with is an electricity gun)
Earth runs in with Harvest asking why isn't anyone picking up their phones and then she sees it. A Chico with a missing arm, a fried Comedy bot, and Roxas cowering in the corner.
Earth rushes to Chico asking if he's okay, and then asks what happened to Comedy bot and DJ exclaims from the corner "Roxas killed him! Roxas got him killed!"
Harvest calls out Roxas for using Comedy bot as a human shield.
Earth asks Mars and Chico if there's anyway to fix him, but Chico has to break the news that Comedy bot's personality chip is completely fried. He's gone.
Earth turns her attention to Roxas and in a pure ragefilled bloodlust she tells everyone to get out the way, pushes past Harvest and DJ and begins to choke out Roxas. Roxas tries to plead with her and she begins to beat him, shouting "It should have been you! You got him killed! It should have been you! I'll rip out your chip and kill you myself!"
Harvest manages to pull Earth off Roxas. Roxas in his 'infinite wisdom' decides it be smart to call the chick who literally rip through steel and solid rock a "B*tch"
Earth, rightfully, kicks Roxas in the face.
Earth then lashes out at Roxas, calling him out on all his bullsh÷t, saying how he's a selfish jerk who never once moved a finger to help them and now he got her bestie killed, and that if he died no one would miss him. She says if she ever sees Roxas or Bonnie (sorry Bonnie 😞) again, she will rip their ears off.
She then turns her attention to Mars and the others and says she is done with everyone's indecisiveness and because of that Comedy bot is dead. If they had chosen to kill Night instead of keeping him here, none of this would have happened. (Um, I'm sorry to say this Earth, but I think this still would have happened if Night was dead. If they had killed Night, Day still would have shown up cause he wouldn't have known Night was dead)
Earth says that from now on when there is a problem, she will finish it!
Harvest says Earth needs to put her rage towards something useful and that mindless homicide will not fix the situation at hand.
Earth goes to ensure the place is locked down and to help Lunar anf Andromeda to find parts for Comedy bot in hopes to fix him.
(Real talk: I have never heard Kat sound so angry. Hearing Earth go full rager was a sight to behold. A scary sight, but an awesome one! Kat's acting was incredible! And Lilith's was incredible as well! Comedy bot may have been a nuisance to DJ at times, but he meant well. He was her little buddy)
Roxas forces himself to his feet and while catching the oil from his mouth mumbles that he's going to his room. DJ tells Roxas to just go coward and hide in his room.
DJ starts to cry about how Comedy bot may have been a little nuts but he was her friend. Her "little buddy" (Oh, I'm getting Sundroid flashbacks!)
They all then realize that DAZZIE is in the room. They all ask how long she's been there for and she says she's been here since the yelling started. They apologize for her lose and say they'll try to fix Comedy bot, but she points out that there's no fixing him. The chip is just ka-poot. (How convenient is it that the spy for Prez. Earth shows up right when Earth starts lashing out at Roxas?)
Mars goes to start working on Chico's arm while Harvest says that NOW they all need to be ready to fight and be all hands on deck.
The scene cuts to Lunar, Earth, and Andromeda frantically searching for parts to Comedy bot, but there are ZERO Staff bot parts here. Andromeda points out that Fazbear does it cause it's just cheaper to replace staff bots than repair them. Harvest arrives to help and to check on Earth (Aw, he cares :])
Lunar apologizes for Earth's loss and says he's there for her, and is gonna be here to help her every step of the way no matter what. (<- or something along those lines. I don't remember exactly what Lunar said, but it was along those lines.) Lunar makes Earth smile with this creepy eye thing he's doing and the episode ends with Earth, Harvest, Lunar, and Andromeda searching for parts in a futile hope to save Comedy bot.
Wow. Just wow! 10/10 👏 I genuinely mean this. I guess the new year will be the start of a new Earth, one who takes no sh÷t from villains like Day. Now, Mars is convinced Day can't be saved but Night can be. (Sick! Evil Day and redeemed Night) and as for Roxas I can see him either continue to spiral and become an antagonist for them (maybe he tries to get Earth fired for beating him up) or this'll be a wake-up call to him and he'll get better. Hopefully.
Eclipse's therapy was great... But I don't like that he called Earth a whore though. Yeah it was censored but it was a really effing messed up thing to call the only female character in Tsams/Tlaes. Ditzo was bad enough but come on... "Whore"? Really?
I fricking know right??? Honestly I think he was just pissed he had to be there and because he didn’t want to be there his five-year-old-muse kicked in and he decided the only way to get that anger out was to take it out on Earth by calling her a whore. And yeah the ditzy thing was also not great :(
so this is probably obvious to everyone but it just hit me that necromancy STARTED because earth was dying. The planet was so close to being totally dead at the end there that it was experiencing a thanergetic conversion. still not totally clear on how john got cast as the world’s first necromancer, but I bet the thanergetic conversion probably made other people have the POTENTIAL to do necromancy and john was just the biggest creep/closest to dead bodies for a long enough time so he discovered it first. Also makes me think that he was able to reverse engineer the process of converting planets once he realized that what happened to the earth was essential to his whole existing power structure
Basically, I have FEELINGS about the fact that john started out wanting valiantly to defend the earth, humanity’s home, our one wild and glorious planet, and ended up not only pressing the big red button on the nukes but also spending ten thousand years destroying all the other habitable worlds he could get his grubby little hands on
Why the fuck would you ask someone whether they made it in the industry before their sick mom passed away ON A PROMO FOR A PIZZA COMPANY?! I dont compute???!!!! This isnt an oprah interview
