FMA thinkyness (spoilers under tag)

One of the only good things about having screaming I-cannot-move-kill-me-now cramps is that I get to catch up on media; also, it increases my tolerance for Teh Creepy and Pain.

Incidentally I marathoned the last 23 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist in one go.

If I smoke, I'd be reaching for a cigarette. 'Cause, DUDE.

Also, SQUEE. THANK YOU THANK YOU cmshaw for the disc! Vid will come! Possibly in time for VVC!

And, just to get this out of the way:

THAT WAS SO COOL. OMG THAT WAS SO COOL. EVERY EPISODE I WAS LIKE ::points at screen and gawks::. Just well done, seriously, bravo.

( Spoiler cut-tag, just-in-case, for up to Ep 51. Warning: squee, babble, Identity formation theories, Kristeva's theory of the abject, homonculi ponderings, mutterings on FMA's use of transformation )

Umm, and I think there's more thoughts and squee, but I can't think of it right now 'cause I'm lolling in the shiny. Feel free to comment on any of the above or just to squee at me and I'll squee right back for whatever time I have tonight.

[edit] I was linked to more discussion by mikkeneko and this post by coffee_and_ink, during the course of which I came to several revelations about the possible natures of homonculi and the human soul in FMA supposing my previous theories in the above cut-tag are held.( Potential Spoiler Warning )
