The Box was p. much one big psychological horror for me, idek why. The deaths were pretty brutal (for a kids show; we've come a long way from 10 years ago), that's for sure. D; For something I expected to be filler, that was an overall solid episode, if not in my top 5 for the season.

Gotta admit, dad and I were like "=O Iiiiiiiiiiiinteresting" when Bane rescued Obi-Wan. "If you're gonna kill someone, do it like a man!" wow. As surprising as it it was, that was one of the highlight moments, mostly because it was unexpected. I wonder, if they're still doing episode commentary, Dave or whoever has to say about that one.

I think Bane only got chosen because of Rako/Obi-Wan's reluctance to kill in cold blood. Took a couple viewings of the last few minutes for me to pick up on that. But yeah, he did nothing and reaped the benefits. GOOD JOB, SON.

And LMAO about that hat. I have a feeling there's a story behind how the Ithorian got it, because that HAD to be Bane's hat.

Cad Bane: He shot a man on Serenno just to watch him die steal his hat.

I was wondering what ulterior motive he might have had in saving Obi-Wan like that... but maybe we've actually hit a standard here.

My sentiments exactly, pretty much. I kept getting 1984 flashbacks with all the big faces on the screens, or at least the ep. of Futurama when Leela was going crazy. I'unno. Anyway, it was still awesome. Agreeing on that "do it like a man!" line; I have no idea why that stands out or why it's awesome, but it is. 'Nuff said, really. And Bane got his hat back! All is right with the universe. Really? How many dusty-brown hats with a grey wrap on the crown. But really, I'm just watching Bane the first time I watch the episode and later go back to watch the story, characters, all that other stuff.
