This is the most god-awfully-AWESOME music. I love the etherial stuff, but it just like hits and flies and soars all at the same time. Oh...I finally went out and bought the Narnia soundtrack from the most recient movie incarnation of the story "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". My mom read it to me as a kid and I remember seeing the old

The instructor guy gets all dramatic and tells them that before he'll let them answer they should know that if they fail the test then they won't get the chance to take the exam again... Ever. Basically telling them that they'll stay the same rank (um, genin? I think it is) forever. And that the last question will count for half of the score (I think... Long time. But a large part of it at least) but if they quit now they can take it again next year. So a lot of the people start freaking out thinking that either they or someone on their team will fail and they'll never get to take the test over and back out. A lot of them leave and Sakura (thinking that Naruto will never quit even when he doesn't have the chance and that she doesn't want his dream to die even if he is an idiot) is getting ready to raise her hand to quit when Naruto's hand suddenly shoots into the air... Only to smack down on the table as he loudly makes a speech about how he'll never give up and even if he can't take the exam again he'll find a way to become hokage (yada, yada, yada). Everyone kind of relaxes after that and the instructor figures no one else is going to quit... Then he reveals that that was actually the test, and that everyone still there passed. Something about dealing with pressure or extreme conditions... Something like that. So then the next instructor shows up. And as everyone leaves for the next test we see the previous instructor picking up the test and being shocked to find Naruto's completely blank... Not thinking that anyone would have the nerve (or stupidity?) to remain with no answers at all.
I think that's about it, far as I can remember. Personally, I'm rather disappointed in the dub... They lost me when they didn't show Naruto and Sasuke's kiss... Which was actually one of the highlights of the series... And really no reason why they couldn't show it. >_

Okay, the Teacher, she's still fighting that cyborgish guy and some of the military guys decide to come in and save her (I missed some episodes, but they way they were talking, she was once a member of the State Alchemists[?]) Al, having been captured by...Envy(?), was taken to this mansion place and she started telling him how she didn't care if she was being used and that inside Al were the souls of thousands of innocent people, many Ishballans among them, as well as those people that Scar killed (makes me wonder if what's-his-name's daughter's soul is in there too, you know, the guy that made all the chimareas and even made one out of his daughter?)
With the "other brother's Elric" (Fletcher and his older bro who's name I don't remember), Ed is given a note from their father that talks about a city that he had heard was once in the same spot as Central 400+ years ago but that vanished. He found a passage that led down underground and the not says where it is. So Ed takes his leave of them and heads down there. Once there, he finds a large city, the city that vanished with all its people. Somewhere in it (missed what what drew his attention there) he found a place where the girl with red hair, Rose (from the early early episode with the fake priest who had one of the fake stones) was there dancing (with a baby?) wearing a dress. When Ed gets there, he tries to get her attention but she's in something of a daze/trance.
...then the girl from the mining town from way back who was also Dante's assistant shows up. Before she says much, Ed tells her that he knows the truth, that she's really Dante. Dante had Greed's symbol and his remains in her house, so Ed surmised that Greed didn't have the capability to kill her, so it must have been someone else that did...or, rather, that Dante jumped into another body, the body of the girl alchemist. He surmised that she, and I think his father in some way, had been alive far longer than normal humans, and at least in her case, had been jumping bodies as she lost the ability to keep them in tact (essentially, when she "jumped" the body she went into was effectively dead, and she had to use alchemy to keep it alive, at least that's what I gathered...which kinda goes along with what the Elric bros' father was saying a few episodes ago.) She planned to take over the body of Rose and try to saduce Ed, the son of (whatever the father's name is, I musta missed it when they first said it on the show.) She then went on to say that equivilent exchange was a lie, citing examples such as people that died in the war, those that lost to Ed in his State Alchemy exam even given years more training and practice just because he had so much natural skil, and then took the baby that Rose had in the mouth of an alchemy generated stone dragon saying that it was crying and breathing and doing all that it could to survive, but that she could crush it with a snap of her fingers (which made Ed mad so he busted the dragon and caught the baby, which Rose promptly took, apparently it's the only thing she is really aware of.)

She was responsible for the vanishing of the city, she used the souls of its people to make the LAST Philosopher's Stone, and then sent the village into the ground; to hide all evidence but leave a rumor. Her thinking is that as long as she leaves no traces of the stone, but rumors of its existance, people will keep making them through time, and each time, she gets them, something about humanity not being able to use them right or understand their powers. I didn't quite get that either. I'm not certain how Ed & Al's father fits into that, but that's about where the episode ends. Since I missed a couple, I'm not sure of all the details, but, that's essentially what happened during this episode. Oh yeah, Wrath (the boy with Ed's arm and leg) is distraught cause that his "mother" is gone and wants the others to help him save her, they don't seem to be all that concerned and Dante essentially tells Envy to beat the crap out of him. Also the fat one (Glutony?) is just walking around dispondent asking about what happend to "My Lust". He jumps at Ed while he's talking with Donte and comps down on his automail arm until Ed tells him that she was killed, after which Glutony releases him and walks off dispondent with Dante saying something about how he shouldn't care or something, so apparently at least two of the humunguli (Glutony and Wrath) have something akin to human emotions, though they've shown them in completely different ways, although the same might be said of Lust too...
So anyway...that's what you missed. ^_^
