Monster (TV) [Dub Broadcast].

If the doctor is a tried-and-true, hippocratic oath following doctor, he would never allow himself to be saved at the expense of another. The only way I see it happening is if the other castaways decide to subdue him and forcibly administer the treatment.

The best part of Monster is that there are no good answers.

Yes, but justice itself presumes to decide whether one gets to keep his "equality"; otherwise, would we punish crime by putting people away in order to "protect" the rest of the population? This itself makes the judgment of the innocent deserving more than the guilty, which is essentially what I am saying.

Any way to rephrase this? I can't wrap my head around that last sentence.

That's a whole different story, and was repulsive in the extreme. Eva was no better, and deserves to get hitched to a guy who looses everything in the stock market and stuck in a situation where she can't get divorced.

So, anyway, thoughts on episodes 3 and 4:

Johann's voice is very grating. It sounds like they were trying to recreate the pitch and timber of the original, which is I guess laudable, but the delivery was simply too hammy. He had about as much subtlety as Pegasus from Yugioh. I was also not pleased with Eva's shrill crying, or the fact that so much has been cut.

On the positive side, O'Brien is growing on me (still nowhere near Kiuchi, but I think he is aiming for a slightly different interpretation of the character, which is fine). Becker is actually really good - he sounds too young, but his delivery is great.

Very disappointed by the "Lunge." Oh well.

Youtube is streaming it.
