Good episode. I liked the first half more than the second half, the space action just wasn't interesting in my opinion, Spike's was good though.

Maybe I missed something but was there a reason VT tried to go after Decker? I don't think she was a Bounty Hunter so...what was her beef with him?

Decker hit and ran one of VT's friends so she thought she'd make him pay for damaging the guy's ship. At least that's her reasoning behind it anyway

VT aka HMQ is a really cool character.
Would love to see more of her. This
show is overall one of the coolest ever.
Now I see why people love it. ^____^

Here comes the cliche main-female using her seduction to get an advantage, though it turned out horribly.

Great episode!

So VT's true name is Terpsichore, Victoria. Who's this Terpsichore's and how did he became the so called legendary bounty hunter?

Lol Faye underestimated that dragon tattoo and it was actually eel of some sorts XD

That decker guy is pussy ass bitch. Glad he died like a junk that he is.

Wtf Spike eating an egg mixed with pepper and water just to feel ease about his hangover XD

Faye is really lovely!!! I don't mind if there's more episode with her :D

Can't wait for the next episode!

Add to me to the list of confused people, I thought it was a guy until (s)he mentioned his/her husband. Episode was alright, but I think episode 5 was still the best so far, at least to me.

The face Spike made when they the yolk fell on his pants 😂

That waitress's face.. It doesn't fit with this show lol.

What are they, 0/7 on bounties? LOL.

Spike having the ability to come up with the idea of shooting the gun to push himself when he was so close to death.. Holy crap.

First 3/4 episodes felt a bit slow, but I've enjoyed the last 3 episodes ^^

That VT was really... manly, but her looks didn't really fit her nickname.

Gotta wonder if they'll ever be successful in their hunting sometime. Still don't understand why dead bounties don't count. Usually they're worth half or so.

You couldn't hold your breath in space, the outward pressure in the lungs would violently push all the air out into space.

I really thought we were dealing with a gay stereotype here by calling a dude a queen, but now that I read the comments, I realize VT is a girl...*dope*

Anyways, that was a decent episode. I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but when are they going to have a more intriguing, overarching storyline? I know Vicious was back there, and the OP from the 1st episode...

I like one-offs here and there, but almost every episode...I'm so impatient, I guess.

Another fun and light-hearted episode with yet another demonstration that the characters in this anime, are anything but boring and stereotyped. Narrative that has only one flaw, it is self-contained, the rest is pleasant and interesting.

Heavy Metal Queen was cool and it was a fun episode!

Having to get out of that mine thing by using bombs to explode that bit to make an opening was cool! Spike nearly didn't make it! D:

He finally found out her name too from her locket lol.

Spike with a hangover and that cure was funny, and when he beat up those guys for making him drop that egg on his trousers! lol.

I thought she was trans or just masculine looking. Could have been a gay man, but the name victoria is typically female and frequently associated with trans people for some reason. Plus she had her husband's last name, so unless gay marriage is a thing in their planet i'd say she was a woman.

If you look at the photo of her when she was younger (the one Spike finds in her watch), she's clearly female. She just took on a more masculine appearance as she got older. It's not uncommon for women to become more masculine after menopause due to hormone changes, and she deliberately chose to accentuate that by wearing masculine clothing. This could be for any number of reasons - to be taken more seriously as a trucker and not look like a soft target; to prevent guys from hitting on her; to disguise her identity (she obviously didn't want to be recognized as Victoria Terpsichore, one-half of the legendary bounty-hunting duo), etc.

As for why the name Victoria is associated with transgender people, it could be because of the movie Victor/Victoria, in which Julie Andrews pretends to be a man in order to get work as an entertainer. I think its use as VT's real name is just a coincidence, though, and not indicative of her gender identity.

Well given the name "Heavy Metal Queen" and her weird voice, it wasn't hard to figure out that she's a woman. Those episodic stories are kinda boring though.
