It's out and no one's posted yet? None of you are worthy to join the Bonustarmy. >:(

Um, only it wasn't that great of an episode. Though perhaps I expected too much in the way of plot revelations. I thought they were gonna reveal that Evil was Jessica, and/or what June's deal is.

June wants to be the only female character, and threrefore either:

a. Killed Rya directly and easily.
b. Hired a hitman to take her out.

(Jessica is evil? WTC?)

Though this brings up an interesting point. In Ryaconning, Rya was trying to exit the simulation--which is what Jessica did. In that case, why did she need to be killed?

Perhaps Rya, upon exit, could've destroyed the simulation, and therefore, uhh...done something....

(In case you're wondering, I count Phil, Joel, Elly, Rya, Jessica, Cassidy, Andrew, and June as main characters.)

I thought this episode was okay, but now I'm really irked that Phil and Cassidy won't get along.

It doesn't matter; Phil'll never find anyone.

Well, he's only had three girls that I know of (I'm not counting Serenade, because he's not a lady-type) that actually seemed to have feelings for him...and two of them (Rya and his old girlfriend (the one Donald killed)) are dead, so that's out of the question.

It's a bit early, no? It hasn't been two weeks, has it? Or have I just been moving in slow motion since 'Flame Wars'?

One day early... or six days late, as Matt had promised it would be out last week to make up for Flame Wars taking three weeks.

Any new ideas for who Evil is? I have one, but it's, shall we say... radical. But there are some strange ideas flying at the wiki so who knows.

You're guessing...Cassidy, aren't you?

^not Evil 1, foo. Get with the program. Elly said she's not Evil anymore.

No, Cassidy was inside talking to June when the guys were fighting Evil in episode 78.
My theory hinges on a key line of dialogue from Flame Wars: "But I've...always wanted to take over the show, ever since I was a hastily-scrawled afterthought on the series bible." This line struck me as odd, since Evil was NEVER an "afterthought" - he was meant to be a major villain from High Score's inception. This leads me to believe that Evil's true identity is an old, obscure character, one who never got very far. And I can think of one obscure character who fits Evil's style to a T: Candice Jones.
I'm not the first to think this either.

Well, there's still June.

Candice Jones.

I would love for it to be Candice. She didn't get enough development in High Score or Bonus Stage. (Barely in the latter)

You're brilliant.

You're absolutely brilliant.

I think I've developed a new June theory.

Maybe she isn't evil, maybe she's trying to save everyone from whatever it is that's going to happen in episode 100 by getting them to leave the simulation. Rya's death would have been an unforeseen setback in this case. She obviously knows what's going on, but maybe she isn't an enemy. You never know...

It does seem odd that June would suddenly be evil, since in the past she was characterized as being calm and caring - well, we don't see a lot of that, but that's why you have to die to kill her in Robo Rya.
