Darker than BLACK 05-06-07-08 Ketchup
Super-quick-recap-time!
Episode Five
A British guy shows up with a chick who reminds me of Storm from X-men and a toddler. All Contractors. They and Porsche-san try to take a red-haired ex-contractor to some government place, but they’re ambushed and the red-haired girl is kidnapped…by Hei. Judging by the look in his eyes, he wants to do all manner of unspeakably mean things to her.
He also asks what she knows about his sister. Dun dun dun!
Episode Six
Hei and Havoc chat for a while - and by “chat,” I mean “he tortures her.” But he eventually stops, because she says she doesn’t remember anything and it’s…um…it’s actually true. It was a little odd to hear so much about how she was such a violent Contractor (drinking blood of children, people!) and then to see her all slumped over and deflated. Then the British guy kills her and Hei goes all *sad puppy face*. It melted my cold heart.
Episode Seven
Word on the street is that some people were upset that Darker than BLACK got a little humourous with this episode, but I liked it. Well, I liked the detective and I liked the earwax scene, his little chicky assistant bugged me a bit. Anyway. There’s a missing cat and a sexy widow and a Contractor who can posses others and a detective that plays at being dumb but below the surface those wheels are turning.
What’s not to love?
Episode Eight
Mao gets cat-napped! But he escapes…kind of. He turns into a bird and then crashes into a bridge, poor thing. Hei shows up to fight the possessing Contractor, but he ends up have to abort his mission to save Mao. But he eventually does go back and fight the guy and defeat him and the detective solves the mystery but doesn’t get the girl and apparently cats can dream and WOW this is a bad summary.
Whew. Now I’m caught up.
Next time: Hei gets a catering job!
