Okay, I surely did not expect HIM of all people to be here. Damn, I'm starting to really like the 2003 adaptation.

Damn, Tucker is totally fucked up. And he deserves it!

Scar's flashback in this is very lackluster in comparison to the flashback in Brotherhood.

Easily the best episode so far due to backstory, character call backs, and lots of rhetorical questions about morality.

Holy wow.... This episode was messed up. This is where the 2003 version and the manga diverge.

Now THIS was a great episode. Probably my favorite so far. Just the right amount of fucked up creepy material. Tucker's body was disturbing. Really adds to the insanity of this science and really shows what this stuff can do. I can't help but wonder if Ed will turn into a mad scientist or go insane or something. When Tucker said that it can't be completed by an ordinary alchemist, I knew Ed would say "I'm no ordinary alchemist." The look in his eyes when he said that, teary and determined, made me really think of what he is getting himself into.

The flashback of Scar's backstory was great as well. The way his brother looked when we walked out of the house was disturbing. This is some messed up stuff, this series is getting a lot more interesting fast.

Finally a real divergence between FMA and FMAB has occurred. This show is getting SO dark. Tucker's return was already nuts, but it seems like Scar's brother in this show was insane and had some much darker plan in motion. Good stuff, can't wait to see where this goes!

Not much more to say. The appearance of Tucker and Scar at the lab are the first real differences between the two adaptations. I wonder what Ed will do in the next episode. Seemingly a moral crossroads he finds himself at. And Al is in big trouble against two homonculi...

Really liked Scar's backstory. What his brother drew on his body kinda resembled the big circle in the red room where Tucker and Ed ended up. Probably something to do with human transmutation!? And Barry apparently knows what Scar's arm is used for. Or it was another bait? Hopefully we get some more info on this topic...

eww tucker. His chimera design is disgusting lol

Also greed's introduction was super badass + I'm seeing myself liking scar more and more.
