About that big discovery last week.

This is one which we have been expecting for some time. I first read about the LIGO experiment some twenty years ago when it had just started construction and I was a young student dreaming about doing a summer placement in California—which turned out to be just a dream, but it was fun perusing the lists of student projects on offer at Caltech.

Kamen rider Ex-Aid Episode 7 – The Reason for Some Lies Live Reaction

One thing I do admit is kinda annoying about this series is that they often don't actually mention the name of the Bugster of the week in the episode. But for reference: the Bugsters that use the Gashats are called Collabos Bugsters.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 5 – Crash! All Gathered! Live Reaction.

Warning! Spoilers!

The episode begins with Pallad commenting that they have 'all the players' and can 'begin playtesting'. Graphite is angry and just wants to kill the Riders and take over, but Pallad comments you 'can't force a puzzle open'.

I do wonder if either of these guys is the Big Bad. It seems Pallad is calling the shots, but I'm not sure.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 6 – Feel the Beat In The Heart Live Reaction

The episode begins with Kuroto Dan, the president of Genmu (and Kamen Rider Genmu), allowing Emu to keep his Gekitotsu Robots Gashat because he 'won it fair and square' and they'll likely need it.

Emu shows he's still a doctor and decides to go see if he can find the victim the Bugster he destroyed came from. I like Emu for this: he's an intern, yes, but he's STILL a doctor and he's dedicated to that.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 8 Live Reaction – Gentleman, Fly High!

This episode has a special edition opening for the Movie War. I still can't believe the Big Bad of the Movie War is literally Pacman. If this is the first you've heard of that, I'm not joking. The villain is LITERALLY someone wielding the power of Pacman. That's the kind of crazy awesome only Japan is capable of.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 4 –An Operation Called Dash! Live Reaction!

I've talked about the intro SONG, but I think now I'll comment on the visuals: it definitely fits the video game digital theme the series is going for. I like it. Just the theme itself will take time to grow on me.

The episode begins with a young woman giving her big brother, a doctor, a launch...while Graphite watches.

So you know how I read a lot of fanfiction? And how everything that I thumbs-up gets put into my 'Liked Stories' bookshelf?

...

I JUST HIT 3000 BABY!

Seriously, 3000 fics in my bookshelf. I do have to re-read a few of them to get caught back up, but still... THREE THOUSAND FANFICS!

I feel like I should feel like I read way to much of this shit. I don't feel like I read too much fanfiction, but I probably should.

Still though... 3000!

The episode begins by setting up Christmas...that's kinda interesting, normally Christmas episodes just kinda happen.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 10 – Uneven Doctors

We continue from where the last episode took off, which people being rushed to the ER in mass...which means covering it up isn't exactly going to be easy this time around.

Kagami rightfully panics because this is basically Zero Day 2.0. Which is exactly hat Kujo is thinking and does NOT want a repeat of that.

Emu rightfully assumes that defeating Graphite is the only way to stop this, but runs into Kyotaro on the way...

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episode 9 – Beat Up The Dragon Live Reaction

We're still getting the special addition Movie War opening. And I will say: it's freaking WEIRD to Kamen Riders vs Pacman...

Anyway, the group cleaning up CR since the Secretary of Health is visiting. We find out that the Security of Heath's name is Dr. Kyotaro Hintata and he was the doctor that saved Emu's life in the opening to episode one. Nice call back and interesting to see.
