Just read your comments on "Awakening Part 4".

I've got to admit, when I initially watched this episode I was surprised by the amount of personality imbued into the Commando Leader (the as-yet-unnamed Bruno). Normally, guys like him only get a couple lines (mostly commands) and then get taken out. I liked the fact that Bruno actually showed something beyond this. POINTLESS PIECE OF TRIVIA: "Bruno" means "brown-haired" and if I'm not mistaken, in later eps, Bruno's hair is shown to be brown. Intention or coincidence?
On another note, the only other Commando who stood out was the female (mostly because she was the only female there--but also she seemed the most aggressive and lasted the longest next to Bruno). I could be mistaken, but was she voiced by Kath Soucie?
Anyway, yeah, I liked how Elisa looked without the jacket, too (I type with a lecherous grin). Personal note: for some unexplainable reason I always liked how Elisa looked in the sweater as opposed to the T-shirt. But that's just me.
Your note about "Rover": Dang, now I'm depressed. That really kind of gives those two scenes a poignent (sp?) sense of tragedy. Was that intentional?
Elisa and Goliath's budding relationship: Oh yeah, I definitely started seeing it here. Initially, I must admit, I resisted it slightly (mostly because I knew Demona was alive and I DID NOT know the extent of her nastiness). Come to think of it, I think I pretty much followed Goliath's path in this love-triangle. I liked that flow.
Gotta agree with you on the "wing-embrace"--that was some nice animation and a logical gesture with a winged race. I could see here that Demona was schemeing, but yeah, her joy at the meeting the clan did seem genuine. Probably was in a way.
As for the as-yet-unnamed Vinnie--I agree, that is a GARGANTUAN schnozolla (I crave pardon from anyone I offend with that last statement). Admittidly, this affects my suspension of disbelief somewhat when it came to "Vendettas", but hey, it was nice seeing someone else who suffered because of the escapade in the fortress.
Personal observation: Brooklyn's role as leader of the Trio seems the most apparent here than in any of the previous episodes (save for his first appearance in Part 1). I still laugh at that "Yo Taxi!" scene and smile at their stories of the city.
