FMA episode 23

[thompkinsbrian]

not much happening in this episode, cept al being alittle whiny punk. i look at it like this. whether the memories are programmed or not. if he had not done what he did, then you wouldnt be here now would you?

[Valindra]

Eeepp..I'm still in the middle of downloading that episode.
It wasn't up by the time I went to bed last night and I only peeled myself out of bed about 2 hours ago..so hopefully I will have it downloaded soon.

[thompkinsbrian]

yeah al does exactly what, either you or blue though he would(it was one of you just dont remember which)

[Valindra]

I can't recall saying that..I know I said I don't blame Al for having doubts about his exsitance after Barry the butcher filled him full with all that crap.

[thompkinsbrian]

i do. who would you believe your brother, the guy that saved YOUR SOUL, or some guy that you are fighting with, that is trying to kill you.i say Al is an idiot for beileving that buy

[Valindra]

I should really stay out of this thread until I watched the episode.
You are right in that sence tho, Al should defenetly belive Ed.
On the other hand..Al is still a kid and was never able to life the propper life of a child..he is simply confused right now.
I know adults which doubt their reason for being..so you can't really blame a 14 year old.

It doesn't matter if a friend or foe put's thoughts into your mind..the haorrible things are always easyer to belive then the good things...sad but true.

I have a battle like that with my other half since years now..no matter how many times I tell him not to be so silly and that the kids love him, ever so often he does come up with the thought that he is good for nothing and it would be better if he wasn't around...and before I go off topic I will stop here :lol:

I'm just trying to explain that I can understand where Al is coming from.

[thompkinsbrian]

yeah i guess i can understand. Ed doesnt tell him whether he just put the momories in or not. At the end Al just runs off like a whiny little biacth

[Valindra]

*Runs like hell*

Ahhh spoiler...I knew I should have stayed out of here!!

*shakes fist at Brian*

Damm you!! :lol:

[thompkinsbrian]

well it says FMA 23. it is about the episode. its your own fault

[Valindra]

I know that..that's why i said before I should have stayed out of here ;)

*grumbles*

My internet connection keeps going down..I only managed to download 69% so far..I hope I make the download before it goes down for a couple of hours like it usually does when it starts... *bites nails*

[thompkinsbrian]

mine downloaded in like 15 minutes

[Valindra]

Well as I said before, my internet going down every 15 minutes or so didn't help much.
Not all of us can afford the fastes connection around :P
So stop your bragging :roll:

Anywho..I just watched the episode and I didn't think Al was acting like a 'sissy' (or whatever you called him :lol: ).
He is simply very confused and I can't blame him.
I'm sure he will snap out of it again soon.

Have you never ever doubted your own exsistance?
Probably not..doubt that you ever sat down and really thought about it.
I know it's a silly thing to worry about, but most ppl on this planet do that at one point or another.

I thought the episode was pretty good..I just love Hughes and the way he handles things.

[thompkinsbrian]

yes i have thought about my existance before, but never had any doubts about myself. worry about why you are here is a waste of time, cause while you were worrying you could have already figured it out by doing

[Valindra]

True, true I agree with you on that point, but try telling that those people which worry about their lifes most of the time.

Even tho I constandly tell myself life is too short for a long face and you should make the best out of what we got, ever so often I can't help myself and hit rock bottom trying to figure out what I really want.

Probably sounds daft to you, but most people think the same way.
And no, this has nothing to do with midlife crises..lol..I have been feeling like that ever since I was a teen (which had nothing to do with growing pains either).

I suppose it all depends on what you went thorugh in your life.

I have lost several of my friends in car accidents and ever so often I can't help but think: Why?..and 'What if'..I know there is no use in crying over spilled milk, but that's how the cooky crumbles. ;)

Once again am I going off topic..*slaps self*

[thompkinsbrian]

no it snt off topic cause we are discussing how Al is thinking.

as for the friends death part, i have friends that have, been shot to death, beat to death, or both. doesnt bring me to think about my own life. just makes me think...Damn good thing we werent hanging out at that time...i know i am a bastard.


i still think Al should look at it like this. i am here cause of Ed regardless of how he did it, he is the reason for my being

[Valindra]

Oh no..you misunderstnad me, I'm not thinking about my own life as in such.
It's rather a case of..why did they have to die and what could I have done if anything if I would have been there..I ask myself that question for many times over the past 19 years ever since one of my sisters was stabbed to death..while she went through that..I was on my summer vacation :?

I'm pretty sure Al will get back to his sences.
I can't see him being that confused for a long time, he has always been the more level headed one of those 2 brothers and I'm sure that once he thought everything through he too will come to the same conclusion you came to.
But, I can't blame him for snapping like that..shame that he wouldn't feel it like Ed did when he got slapped into the face..think that would have helped him a ton ;)

this was kind of a lame episode.... i gues it was more of a setup for 24 *omg they actualy did a drag episode in fma!*
