I was watching the Hard Luck Woman episode where the crew goes back to Earth, where Faye sees her demolished home and Eddie tries to find her father. Anyway, I have a question. They mention that some kind of accident happened, and thats why Earth is the way it is. What exactly happened? Is it tied to why Faye was in suspended animation?

When they were developing the space gates we see everywhere in the series they blew up part of the moon. It's better showed in Sympathy for the Devil, but that episode isn't aired in the US, if I'm right?

They finally aired it after the initial run.
I think Faye's ship got hit by one of the debris, and in order for her to survive they had to put her in suspended animation until she fully recovered.

Yep. That pretty much sums it up. All I knew about it was that they mentioned a "gate accident" several times during the series and that it was some sort of gate system in space that blew up. I didn't know that it damaged the moon, though. That makes sense....
I'm capable of much better graphic design but I just slapped this together. Sorry....

No, but he was trying to get back at the people that did, if I remember right. They built the gates with defects on purpose for some reason, and he was getting revenge (I think he knew they were defective and tried to fix them, but they fired him or something).

I have no idea about it being shown on TV, but my girlfriend is litterally Otaku for the series and has made me watch it several times. I know I've seen Sympathy for the Devil about a dozen times. Her fav episode. Mine too.

I've only seen the first 5 episodes of CB, and the last 3... and the one about the monster Spike accidentally left in the fridge. I haven't seen the one you guys are talking about... I have a lot of catching up to do.
Oh... and which episode had the space shuttle Columbia in? I heard Cartoon Network pulled that episode after the accident in February.

WHAT?! It's amazing what kind of stuff gets pulled off the air... the space shuttle one was in one where this old guy tinkers around on an old (our time) space shuttle. It ends up saving the day at the end.

Symphony for the Devil (Good song, good episode) shows the whole thing with the gate exploding and taking out the moon, causing tons of debris to hit the earth. Ed's father is mapping ou the Earth after so many mteors keep hitting. What pisses me off though, is he eats raw eggs. I want to eat raw eggs without being told I'll get saminella! I still do eat them, though :)

anyone know the full details (if any) on the spike-julia-vicious love triangle? they show that brief flashback in the last episode during "the real folk blues" sequence... but I really want to know more.
and I guess spike was really well reknowned within the red dragons if shin wanted him to come back and take over - that and after spike and vicious fight, the syndicate stands still in silence like they're waiting for him to take the helm.
just curious because I'm watching the final episode right now on adult swim.
and I find it very odd that I own the entire series yet always watch it on tv whenever I get the chance.

Spike loves Julia.
Julia loves Spike.
Vicious loves Jlia.
Julia doesn't love Vicious.
Vicious's designs on Julia cause friction between him and Spike and Julia.
Spike and Julia decide to leave the Red Dragon, and agree to meet...in the graveyard was it?
Julia is captured by Vicious prior to the departure date. Most likely she has to fulfill all his needs after her capture.
All his needs.
She probaly grows to like Vicious after she's captured, so doesn't kill him...keep in mind we're talking about a very independent woman here, who's no slouch as a driver and markswoman.
Spike has to leave alone.
Spike becomes a cowboy.
And then, episodes 1 - 26.

Spike was very high up on the Red Dragon's totem pole. Maybe his official rank wasn't that great, but keep in mind he was Vicious's best friend and partner. And Vicious has many loyalists within the Red Dragon; remember him turning the tables on the three dragons during the execution process?

Maybe it's because watching on TV is kinda like watching it with other people from across the country.
And maybe it's because changing the channel is much more convienent than changing the DVD.
