The Problematic of the Unproblematic

SakiVI: In which our gang faces dragon's breath and weasel wee to get to the Cave of Eyes. kakashi: If only I'd had some weasel wee, then my eyes would probably have stayed open.  Trotwood: After they stopped flying, I kept falling asleep. JoAnne: I just finished watching and I already don't remember what happened. They did a lot of walking and a little flying. Right?  

SakiVI: In which there is a birth secret and conflicting missions. It's almost like there is a plot! kakashi: Indeed, now that we're halfway (!!!!!) into this drama - it seems to go on forever - something interesting happened. Trotwood: Pfft. JoAnne:  I guess we'll see.  At the moment I can't even remember what happened.

SakiVI: In which we find everyone knows everyone. kakashi: In which we celebrate the weather, the true star of this show.  Trotwood: In which we learn that being seen in long underwear is the same as being seen in regular underwear. JoAnne:  In which we learn these grassland dwellings have enviable closet space.

SakiVI: In which our teenage Scooby Gang members show a remarkable lack of knowledge about things like first nights. Seriously, people, you should know what can and can't happen under what circumstances, even without the internet! Trotwood: I never understood this. I mean you can physically feel if you had sex or not. But that wasn't the worst of it. No one dies. How can we have a show with the word "grave" in the title and not have more deaths? The plot meanders with so much random, I feel we deserve at least one death per episode. kakashi: This episode was clearly on drugs and maybe I was too because I kind of liked it? Huh, I'm strange. JoAnne: I laughed my ass off when Hu Bayi tried to delicately hint around how Yanzi could tell if she'd had sex. Come on people....folks from the country know how things work. Always have.

SakiVI: In which Bayi gets up close and personal with at least three different people. Trotwood: This is true, so why weren't any of them more exciting? There was even nudity! Also, I'm disappointed. Where were the promised pancakes? JoAnne: How can you think of pancakes at a time like this? We had death AND nudity! kakashi: I am so tired. I read "why aren't any of them expecting?" That, plus nudity, made sense to me. Not sure about how to fit in the dead bodies though.  

SakiVI: In which we finally get some tomb raiding activity and spooky stuff, even though it's not technically in a tomb. kakashi: The first good episode. I wasn't even bored. Trotwood: Finally, we get some adventure. Look, Ma! We can fly! JoAnne: And then there's Fatty, the dumbass.

SakiVI: In which one character dies. SorryNotSorry about that. And in which we learn Bayi has been withholding information about himself, but that he's going to let loose now. kakashi: Much too much of those three doltheads who act as if it were comedy, which clearly doesn't work. JoAnne: Well, maybe they'll be gone soon. Trotwood: I hope so, too. Not enough people have died. We are on episode 6 already. Where is my body count?!?!?!

SakiVI: In which people talk a lot, there's a mysterious map, woooooo, and the man-bear changes hands. kakashi: Maybe it's because it's been ages, but I really liked this episode!  Trotwood: Pfft. it's been ages. Life happened. Sorry. I didn't mean you. I meant that the only reason Kakashi would like this episode is because it's been ages. It was slow. You are NOT slow. JoAnne: Well she is slow, but no one minds at all.

SakiVI: In which we meet the man bear and find out one of our bad guys isn’t as dumb as when he first appeared. Trotwood: Where I wonder if it's that cold out, why Hu Bayi isn't wearing a hat or earmuffs or something on his head. So much heat escapes from the head. kakashi: Where I get really annoyed at this drama's "hahaha, look, this is funny"-humor.   JoAnne: Where I think, 'You know, the scenery is really pretty in this, and the light, too.'

SakiVI: In which our group forms a Scooby Gang. Trotwood: I know I was warned, but did we really need to watch so much pooping? Also, everyone was waiting for my comments about their cold weather prep, and they look pretty prepped to me. Lots of good thick layers, little hand coverings though. kakashi: A very intriguing episode. Group-poop and weasel-pee that makes you see monsters . JoAnne: I found it difficult to pee in shared bathrooms until I was out of school, and only poop away from home in desperation, so... I am trying to block all this out because the next episode (or maybe it's the one after that) is a lot of fun.

SakiVI: In which I get rather angry at our selfish Educated Youths and their Quest for Sugar at the expense of a little animal getting tortured to death.   Trotwood: Where I wished I had paid more attention to the fart jokes in middle school, so I'd remember one here. kakashi: And here I am waiting for Trotwood to start raging about snow equipment, what to do when there's a fire, etc . JoAnne: She is suspiciously relaxed about their weather preparation, what's going on?

SakiVI: Yes, I’m recapping again. No, it’s not Ice Fantasy Destiny. Sorry, but I lost the momentum on that other series. On the other hand, I’m rather smitten by this latest tomb raiding drama involving a teenage 81, aka Hu Bayi, and his skinny friend Fatty, and a village girl, Yanzi, who likes Hu Bayi (I didn’t understand why at first since Ethan Ruan does nothing for me, and then I saw the state of the other men in her village), and some forest wardens, and, believe it or not, some rather intelligent weasels. kakashi: First time I'm seeing Ethan Ruan, but I can't say he does nothing for me.  Trotwood: I was actually surprised because I knew nothing about the cast and then there was Ethan Ruan spitting on me!
