Slayers Next eps 15-18

[meganbmoore]

We are mostly wandering around, looking for the Claire Bible here. The best was what most probably the most direct parody of D&D yet...in a castle with "levels" and a "challenge" each level...in a castle where the villain turns everyone into dolls...unless they go in in animal costumes. Lina and Martina finally got to fight...over fantasy racketball. Martina BWAHAHA!!-ed a lot and Lina blew things up. Zelgadis did some panicking over various things. People seem to be very comfortable with having Martina around. I fear that decreases my chances of getting to see her get blown up at the end. We also had another Unfortunate Crossdressing Episode(note: I refer to them as Unfortunate not because of the crossdressing, but because the purpose seems to be our finding humor in the mortification of the characters, and the bulk of the humor in the episodes tends to be centered around that, and I have a threshhold for humor at a character's expense.) Despite the fact that it now involves three guys, as opposed to just Gourry, it managed to be less Unfortunate than the season one episode, largely because Xellos is clearly having the time of his life. I am also convinced that several of the women in the "women only, all males get executed" town were men in disguise. Things start building to the last arc in the last episode, though, as Xellos conveniently remembers the location of a complete Claire Bible and they hire the world's littlest old lady to guide them, only to run into the Demon Dragon lord.

Also, at one point, Lina is channeling Jean Grey/Phoenix in a very bad mood.

Anyway, not a lot happening, but much fun.

I bring a Xellos vid, which I'm told is quite well known:
