| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I like episodic animes most of the time and Cowboy Bebop is no exception. I am really liking this so far. And despite the episodic nature, there is something a undreneath that connects the whole thing. In this epiode, we see more about Jet. I liked the tone of the episode and the change in tone which is certainly good and keep things refreshed. The next one looks interesting. |

| It was a really good episode, I liked that fact you got to see more about Jet. Anyway what I do disslike is these characters just poping in and out from the series. All episodes are they same, it would had been cool if they were all connected somehow in the end ;) |
| Wow so that's what Jet's past was like, great to see some insight into each of the character's pasts, Eds I can imagine should be interesting to watch xD |
| Mm, liked seeing Jet's background play out. Looking forward to seeing Ed's and Faye's, now... The episodes do have that episodic feel but I'm still enjoying them. 8D Haven't gotten bored of the series at all. (And it seems highly unlikely that anyone could tire of it.) |
| so why was a small fry like him worth 1.8m when three hijackers were only worth 1.5m total? |
jacobpaige said: If you've paid attention, the guy killed a loan shark, and is still in debt. The hijackers probably didn't kill anyone except steal stuff. so why was a small fry like him worth 1.8m when three hijackers were only worth 1.5m total? Was a pretty good episode, with that fanservice, eh? |
| I really love how they handle themes in this show. Like this one, with Jet and his heartbreak. It's handled in such a mature way. This show rocks. Oh and delicious Faye fanservice. |
 |
| We get to see some Jet's past. The episode was pretty good :) |
| No sig :( |
| Awesome episode. the characters seem to have so much depth. It was a very mature episode, and I loved the fact that he still turned them in. What she said was interesting, Jet wouldn't stop protecting her...thats pretty rare in most anime i've seen. She had a good realistic reason for leaving him...it made the situation kind of unique. I also loved Ed bothering Faye. ^_^ |
 |
| Fvuk THAT was AWESOME..I..i lost my word!!! Great romance seriously, i almost cried... |
 |
| Busting the ex's lover? Way to go Jet! |
 |
| Jet's the MAN! Every aspect about him is so mature and realistic. The episode had some great drama and the Faye Ed part was delicious. |
Earth gets angry after a kick in the face. |
| Man that girl was definitely not right for jet. I didn't like her. -.- good for him for turning her boyfriend in though. |
     |
| man another bittersweet ending :( the guy with the bounty annoyed the hell out of me,he cares more about himself than the one he loves it was awesomse nonetheless :D PS: Faye OMG :D 5/5 |

| I'm not getting bored of cowboy bebop! Jet's past was interesting, didn't like that woman either. |
| Nice to see a bit of back story on Jet. He really is quite the righteous and lawful figure, smacking around his ex's new boyfriend, and talking some sense into her. Great closure. The atmosphere in this show really is incredible, helped plenty by the music and animation, which give life to an otherwise pretty desolate looking universe. I hope everything gets tied together in the end. |
 |
| Poor Jet. I didn't cry, but I think I almost did. It wasn't enough for tears to come, though. |
| I LOL'd at Spike's wobble. |
| Boo: "Boo!" |
| Meh. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

 |
| What was ed doing in the beginning? |
 |
| Faye fanservice <3 |
 |
| Nice Jet episode focusing on his past. I didn't remember he was a cop. And that is a nice place to live it seems, a Jupiter's Moon. Anyway, the guy looked like a jerk, but he actually got in trouble because of the woman. Everyone makes mistakes, and I think Jet made the right choice. Once again great episode and fantastic music, and they made some more dough! It seems Bebop is on a roll lately :P Oh Ed's movements creep me out! See You Space Cowboy... |

| Jet walking away like a boss. That completed the episode, his past seems rather simplistic compared to Spike (can't say much yet though) but yea. Interesting, reminded me why I watched the first 9 episodes back to back |
 |
| Alisa was a bit of a selfish bitch if you ask me. So what if he was controlling? Jet's the man, and obviously knew better than to get involved with loan sharks and losers in general. She sure did make some wonderful life choices after she left him.(And yes, I know that she mentioned that she wanted to live her own life, even if it meant making bad decisions). Doesn't stop me from having no sympathy for her. Either way, brilliant episode. I love these low-key, more personal stories in Bebop(Waltz for Venus is a good example). They make for some bittersweet drama. |
 |
| Probably my second favorite episode. I like Jet quite a lot as a character, and this added quite a bit to him. I somewhat understand Alisa, though. After all, when someone else is making all of the choices for you and not allowing you to live on your own two feet....that's not really living. Like her, I'd rather live for myself or at least with a partner that I could be on equal terms with. Though, she definitely could have chosen someone better, I suppose. I think in many other series, the character in Jet's shoes may of let them go. I thought it was quite cool that he actually caught them and turned them in. Yet, it goes without saying that the money pretty much didn't factor into his actions. Also, it would have been a retarded story choice to have her kill herself. It would have completely undermined the message. |

| The next one does look interesting! Even though Ed has only been on the show for two episodes, she has such a lasting impression. |
| Nice to see an episode for Jet, good stuff. |
| Great episode, Jet's past was pretty interesting. |
 |
| Old flame, huh? |
 |
| Closure is always satisfying. It is a shame that Alisa didn't talk to Jet about her problems with their relationship, but I am glad they separated. Bebop wouldn't be the same without Jet. He is a good anchor for the crew, and an excellent cook by the looks of it... |
| Jet is so cool... I'm the black dog that when he bites down, he never lets go... Heck yeah. So cool |
| I love how Jet told the fool to be stronger. Now, will we get a back story to his fake arm? I can imagine Jet as a control freak in the old days or maybe the wife was weak willed. One of the two. gg |
 |
| Great episode some more back story on Jet! Quite nice story line in this episode really liked the development and the conclusion! |
 |
| Oh my, it was pretty awesome. So far the best episode (at least for me). Great mood, wonderful and touching story, what more to want? Also, I love every scene with Edward - she's just fabulous. |
| I love this character development on Jet. Honestly, even though I love Spike, Jet is really close to being my favorite. For some reason, I'm not convinced he was much of a control freak but more of a leader that knew structure and order. I know people who tell others how it is, and you normally follow because it's a great plan. Alisa was probably having a bit of an identity crises and while trying to find herself, used him as a scapegoat because she relied on him so much. |

In another note, i cant understand how everyone keeps so calm when someone else is shooting at them xD |
| That music that played during Jet's speech at the bar, and at the end. Spot on. |
| Excellent episode. Plus 2 bounties in one episode! They can now eat for a week! ^_^ |
| My favorite episode so far!! Love the mood and the setting, plus the music was awesome. |
