I've heard good things about it, and I'm hoping that the UK Toonami will eventually start showing it, as I can't really afford the CDs at the moment.

As an aside though, Pokemon isn't "watered-down". It's pretty much exactly the same as the Japanese version. It's only watered-down in the same way that say Dexter's Lab is watered-down compared to South Park.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

No, it wasn't really explained.

We don't know what really happened to her other then she was in some kind of accident involving a space shuttle in space.

We don't know who sent her the video tape and VCR.

Plus, it really annoyed me when she ran away from that old lady in the wheel chair who knew about her past in Singapore.

An FTP with all the eps? Dude! That would be great!

($)Faye Spoilers($)

Faye's past was explained very well. While I still can't for the life of me figure out who was sending her those VHS tapes, it was all wrapped up at the end where she came fromm. Overall she had terrific character development. You can even notice her personality changing from one episode to the next. Anyhow, for being 80-something, she's one hot old chic. Of course the cryogenic suspension might have had something to do with it all.

It was perfectly well explained. Just like with most other series, you need to pick up the clues from different places & piece them together in the right order.

Faye was on a class trip as a teenage girl. They were in space on some sort of hypersonic suborbital liner when you see the moon crack outside her window. Well, what cracked the moon? The first tests with the hyperspace gates, the same ones that rendered Earth mostly uninhabitable & caused that kid to be effectively immortal. We know that was in the 2020s sometime (2021, I think) & we know Faye was in suspended animation until the 60s. My guess is that she was either a ward of the "state" or was lost in the bureaucratic shuffle.

Actually, I'm not sure if Faye's shuttle was actually caught in the hyperspace gate explosion. I think her accident took place before it, there by explaining the lost of the records. It could have just been a freak accident. If she were in line-of-sight of the explosion, she would have been dead like half the planet.

That's what I thought to.

The "crack" that everyone saw is a crack on the window, rather then the moon exploding.

So the accident is a mechincal failure of the shuttle, rather then the gate accident.

Didn't Spike call his ship the Bebop? I could have sworn he did.

Bebop was the big ship they all lived on. Swordfish II was Spike's little racing fighter, Red Tail was Faye's Zipcraft, & Hammerhead was Jet's grappler sled.
