I thought the episode was okay.
It was really surprising actually, and the ending was sort of horrific. It might just be me --> but I wasn't expecting the episode to turn out the way it did. I had a feeling that Tucker was a wicked guy, but I didn't expect him to do what he did to his daughter. And then seeing the ending with what that guy did to Nina - yes, that was unexpected as well. I guess it was a good eye opener and showed us that FMA is a funny anime, but serious as well... =

Hmm.... FMA seven... *checks up* okey.. That one.
I really think that this was the start of the real story, as jazmin_s said, it proved to be serious to. Before this (exept episode 3 "mom") it was quite a ridicoulus anime (Nothing wrong, FMA is my all time favourite XD) but I felt like the story started then, they really realised what could happen among state alchemist and you got to see someone elses terrible alchemy mistake. Quite a good episode~

As soon as I saw comments like this being a gruesome moment in anime, I thought the same thing...
I'd seen this episode before and watching it again makes every scene Nina is adorable in (which is roughly all of them) all that more tragic.

Good Lord, comparing this episode and the one before it, I don't even want to do it. And to sum up all of the tragedies, Ed can cry but Al can't.

I saw this episode on Adult Swim. This is what got me into reading the manga, and starting up this anime. Good episode, though I like how it ended in the manga better.

This is the first episode of this series that I consider interesting. That said, Edward annoyed the hell out of me when he was so judgemental and nosy about Tucker burning Nina's "letter" to her mom. Sure, Tucker ended up being a psychopath, but Edward should've minded his own business regarding the burned letter. I have to remind myself that Edward is supposed to be a 12-year old here though. He might not understand how adult relationships can turn out...pretty badly.

Hmm, when I saw the last episode's preview, I though "Okay, Edward realizes that the alchemist has turned his wife into a beast, gets rid of both of them, and then the episode ends."

That did happen, but a lot more happened in this episode to make it "unpredictable".
i like unpredictable.

Thank god the fillers are over for now. I liked the fourth episode, but there were too many fillers in this series being shown consecutively. Anyway, no surprises, I had already read this part in the manga... But it's a great episode anyways.

But... crying Ed. I'd never expect to see crying Ed. He took it a bit too personal...

I'd say more of a sociopath than psychopath.

That was so messed up. Every anime character that has a glare on their glasses is always crazy!
Poor Nina and Alexander D: she was so naive, she didn't even know the truth about her mommy. I didn't expect this to be so morbid. But nonetheless I still love this series so far.

that fucking general tried to cover this up!!!!

i want to punch that asshole in the face.

wow really tucker?? what the hell is wrong with you??

if i were Edward i would probably beat the shit out of him till he doesn't recognize his face.

first he transformed his wife, then Nina and Alexander??

and how the hell did the alchemist committee did not notice this in the past 2 years???

Roy Mustang wtf?!?!?!

although the guy at the end had to kill Nina due to the misuse of alchemy of God. im more pissed at that fucking asshole Tucker.

definitely a heart breaking episode for Edward and Al.

i know Edward wanted to revert them back, but it's next to impossible in their current state, especially after what's happened with their mom.

poor Nina :(

What a tragic and disgusting episode. Nina and Alexander didn't deserve any of that. I kind of thought as soon as Ed went to the Library that Tucker was bad and I got more and more confident of his twisted ways throughout the episode.
