Good think Spike didn't break the virus container. I'm surprised the lady didn't scream when he was about to shoot it haha.

I'm also surprised they didn't keep a closer eye out for Faye this time around! Poor Ein haha. And how do you gamble 60m away so easily :O

Although self-contained, the episode manages to stand well on its legs, thanks to its strengths and also quite charismatic secondary characters. It closes the circle, the usual OST who dresses like a tailored suit, the narrative.

Episode 1-4 are the episodes I hate the most. Spike misses so many vital clues that I almost ripped myself a bald spot. Also, there's a $6,000,000 bounty on Faye yet they didn't even decide to turn her in at the end of the episode like they planned to. Why?

If you say that Spike senses great teamwork then I call bullshit as she did nothing so far.

Not really doing much for me so far, Spike and Jet are just habitual failures at this point and every episode ending with them conveniently not getting any money is tiresome.

Wtf? How is them not getting money convenient?
It is mostly episodic so if you can't get past that then just move on to another show.

What I mean there is always convenient reasons for them failing like something always prevents them from actually being successful bounty hunters, Personally its going to be hard to deal with if they continue to fail for another 22 episodes as the skill set of the protags seems too good for them to have no success.

No need to get grouchy by the way, I do want to watch the show and I'm allowed to have my own opinion.

Have your own opinion or whatever but the show is not about them trying to succeed at becoming rich and beloved bounty hunters, they don't really care. It's a way to make enough money to go on, that's it. I see comments talking about Faye so they already have been to the casino therefore you can already guess from the way Spike throws away all those chips that he doesn't care about money and that if they are really needed they can make them.

It was just a suggestion, if you are looking for a show where the main character tries to succeed and achieve a goal, Cowboy Bebop is not that show.

I'm glad Faye joined them, it's fun seeing her with them!!!

That monkey business retrovirus was a weird thing and the whole eco warriors concept of this episode is, strange but sort of, of the time - it gets my goat LOL! nah, but kinda. It was a crazy evil plan!

Good thing that Spike and Faye got out of hyperspace and nice she offered to save him, I think she has a crush on him tbh lol. I honestly don't blame her, how can ya not? I mean look at him? lol.

Rad ass episode. I like how each episode is mostly quiet for the drama and dialogue, but that episode’s action piece has a unique score attached to it. Yet it’s not a repetitive editing choice in the slightest. Very fun mystery and exciting interaction. I love when they totally bait Faye on the phone till she snaps at them lol.

I didn’t quite get what happened at the end though? Like with spike saying, “I’ll let her know” then just shooting. Is this something that gets explained in the next episode or did I miss something entirely. Just seemed very random.

Looking back, was Cowboy Bebop always this boring? The only thing I've really liked so far are the cyberpunk (if that's the right word lol) city backgrounds. The first ep hooked me in but the plot for the next 3 worked well as introductions to the characters but the episodic plots have been decent at best and a little slow too. At least the characters are as charismatic as I remember
