So we finally meet Dr. Lao. I imagined him to be older and greyer, more like Conan's Grandpa.
But those earthquakes sure are bad news :/
I probably regret this post by now.

I want the villains to step up the game. Here they are in control of a vast post-apocalyptic government which, while ill-defined, is apparently lacking in civil rights. All we see, however, are bumbling morons who can't apply manpower, can't properly use induction (or deduction for that matter), and in general operate without intelligence. Even Lepka has problems delegating to effective personal.

Regardless that long silence between Patch/Lao and Lana was powerful. Reminded me of a Sergio Leone film; the way the camera transitioned from face to face, back and forth, showing each persons evolving emotions as they comprehend the situation.

I think someone at Ghibli had a great tremor burned into their mind. The sight of coming disaster is always filled with retreating life. Moths, fireflies, boars all rise and retreat from a land facing tremors, no matter the cause. Like an instinctual aversion to catastrophe that humans seem to lack.

Not a good sign when I'm rooting for one of the villains heh! Lana and Conan are annoying more than anything else at this point.

Seems like exciting things are going to start happening though.

So, Patch really is Lana's grandfather after all!

It looks like a major climatic shift is happening. Good thing the three of them are leaving that place.

Last episodes cliffhanger was suspicious,but I didn't expect that Patch really would turn out to be Lao. After knowing the circumstances and putting everything together it makes sense,tho and the foreshadowing/build up was pretty good.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

All of Patch's crew placed their trust in him to save them after getting washed out to sea, then Patch immediately bails. It's understandable, but that's still pretty cold. Also, I was pretty crossed at Lana just outright yelling Dr. Lao's name like that in front of everyone. Like, really?

Wait so Patch/Dr.Lao abused Lana and Conan, and could have easily caused their deaths, just to hide his identity? That was pretty stupid
