... Damnit, seems they're trying to fit the whole sacrifice thing into the story anyway. By the looks of things, Juliet might have to end up killing herself. I wanted my happy ending~! However, we still have a few more episodes and it's good to see a bit more introduced about Escalus. Also, Romeo finally came back and he's telling his father to get a life. I really want Montague to just die, I'm so fed up with him.

Still really don't like Mercutio, and I suspect that'll only get worse.

Decent episode, was hoping much more. ><

Looks like next episode won't be so much in it except the collapsing part.

Overall I did like how Romeo went back to his father, decent episode. 7/10.

Edit: Next episode in 2 weeks right? Aired: Apr 4, 2007 to Sep 13, 2007

was hoping for a bit more rebellion a little less "please no more senseless violence" (I like senseless violence :P)

I figured Gonzo would do something to mess up the ending of this show. They seem to excel at doing that.

They set up the ending to be a happy one which was a mistake if they wanted a tragic ending. Further, if they felt they had to end with tragedy they could have come up with something better than Juliet having to sacrifice her life to save the world.

agree. i don't really like where this is going. not only do we get the juliet/ red whirlwind meets Tyrants son, but now Juliet is a chosen one for some reason. and i'm still not sure why the tree started to die to begin with or why Jul is a "chosen one".

also, doesn't look like much of a rebellion at all, wished for some fighting, but then again, how can anyone justify fighting under crazy Monty's orders.

Wish Romeo would have went after his old man with a blade and not words.

i like the series so far, hoping for a happy ending, but the original didn't, don't suppose this will (at least it's not looking good).

Hum... Why Juliet? Couldn't it be anyone else? Why the hell does she have to... hum... become a tree?
Nice episode overall but I don't like the way things are going and the importance Escalus is starting to have in the story.

for harmony's sake shouldn't they both become trees?
...then they could have suggestively entwined roots for all eternity

Hmm, if they both become tree after Escalus died...

Anyway, at last Juliet said something other thatn "Is this a love that can never be?"

Anyone else notice that Romeo and Juliet are actually related? His father is the son a whore and a Capulet. She is a Capulet. I haven't quite worked out the exact family tree, but maybe second cousins?

Something like that is was common occurrence among royalty so I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

Oh gosh. Can this even be considered Romeo and Juliet anymore? It's bears no resemblance except with the occasional names. The character roles are different and the story line is completely changed. I wouldn't even be suprised if somehow there's a happy ending, hopefully not.
And wtf? Why is Neo Verona suddenly a floating island...
Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values! Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!

Oh, God, this just got weird. As happy as I was to see Juliet reappear as the Red Whirlwind last episode, the coup seemed to get glossed over really quickly. I don't know how I feel about the tree thing. :| Meh.

I still weirdly like Mercutio lol.

I was gonna say, I thought when I saw a trailer a few years ago Neo Verona was in space of floating or something then saw no sign of it but now it is a floating island which they only now just show.

I was gonna say the same, it's not much like Romeo and Juliet any more, it's far different than I expected it to be tbh.

I assume the tree is like the tree of life but why it requires Juliet's life as sacrifice to carry on, I'm not sure, because a Montague sinned, it needs a Capulet? Or was it always alive really because of a blood sacrifice from each of the families? I dunno. That seems like it could be it or would have been a good plot though.

So Juliet has to be sacrificed and become a tree. OK...

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

I was hoping in vain that Escalus wouldn’t have too much plot relevance; it’s been half-baked from the beginning and just feels forced and unnecessary now. I was never expecting (or wanting) a completely happy ending, but if we seriously go with ‘Romeo and Juliet turn into/are reincarnated as trees’, I’ll be pretty disappointed.

I’m also curious how Mercutio and Tybalt will play out in this final arc, since I imagine they’re meeting similar fates. I can’t quite see Romeo killing Tybalt at this point (or anyone else for that matter), but RxJ has reversed a lot of the original dynamics before this, so maybe Mercutio will slay Tybalt and prompt Juliet to kill him? They’ve certainly built up Juliet’s feelings towards violence, so it’d be a decent pay-off if nothing else.
