As the title says. Roughly 30 mins from the posting of this thread, first new Samurai Jack in years. Admittedly some hype here!

Well, I'm not sure where you can find episodes of the new season... not sure how heavily they're squashing YouTube recordings. The first Ep. of Season 5 was good... but the second one just this last Saturday completely blew it away.
Completely.

Well. That is an end to an era. I'm glad that this wasn't forgotten to history - it was a big part of my young life. Jack got his ending. Much as I have little complaints here and there about the new season, overall... it was great. So long, Jack...

a very bitter sweet ending, game of thrones has made me wary of all weddings on tv and this show just solidifies that

Just like the archetypal hero of old, Jack acts heroic for the people he loves and hose who can't defend themselves. As the hero, he never wants compensation for his actions. As the hero, he will only obtain happiness for a very short amount of time before losing that happiness. The archetype is as old as time, and yet remains timeless, which makes this one of the better shows imho. Think about it... what heroes throughout the stories we've read/heard have truly found happiness and remained that way for an extended period of time? Gilgamesh? He found happiness with his friend Enkidu, but lost it after Enkidu's death. Arthur? He was happy with his Round Table and Gwenevere as his wife, but we all know how that turned out. Superman? Loves Lois, but they can never truly be together. Batman? Loves Selena, but can't be with her. The Red Wedding... yeah, I'll leave it at that. And then there's Jack and Ashi... you get the idea.

It is one of the great ones.
My only 'real' complaint is that the latter half of the season felt a bit rushed... we could have done with two more episodes, I think. A longer finale wouldn't have gone amiss either. They worked with their episode limit about as well as they could though.

Aragorn True, but Aragorn is not the norm... and yes, there are other heroes who have also found long term happiness, but if you stick to the heroic archetype, you will find that those heroes will only find a fleeting happiness.
