Sonic X, season 3

And then he falls down to Ear–er, Mobius, while the spacebot sends his minions searching for the mighty baubles. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Eventually, he’s found by Eggman, out for his morning run, and Eggman decides to give Sonic a hand. A week later, StH awakens, some banter ensues, and while Eggman’s robot crew are irate at Sonic’s manners and lack of exposition, Eggman seems to know there’s something more going on. After all, what could do that kind of damage to his nemesis, Super or not?

Meanwhile, Amy, Cream, and Tails are checking out some falling stars, when one falls right at them. Turns out to be a spaceship flown by a creature who calls her(?)self Cosmo, who’s looking for Sonic.

Over on Floating Island(how’d that get back?), Knuckles is resting a bit while guarding the Master Emerald, when he sees something else touch down– not sure if it was on the Island, or down on the ground beneath it– and goes to check it out. Turns out it’s a robot like Sonic fought, or the same one. Knuckles has a rough time with it, and is soon joined by Tails and Cosmo in the X-Tornado, but their attacks don’t do much damage. Sonic soon arrives and turns the tide, but only for a moment. He teams with Knuckles to put a hurtin’ on the bot, but it manages to excavate something… a gem, I forget what it’s called. Some sort of planetary egg, which is a part of the planet’s life source. Without these, the planet dies, and the effects already seem to start. That, or it’s something to do with the Master Emerald…

See, while this has been going on, we flash back to Chris on “our” Earth, where he’s still working on a portal to Sonic’s world. He’s been at it a little this ep, too, and he leaves his good-bye note and goes for it. He comes out about where the Master Emerald is, and–ZOMG!! He’s a kid again! In his adult clothing!

To be continued, y’all!

Overall, I liked the ep. Having things take place on Mobius will be a nice change of pace. Eggman looks like he may have to team with Sonic once again to stop these planet-raping piles of scrap. Cosmo is a mysterious point of interest, she doesn’t say why she needs Sonic. It looks like interesting times are ahead.

What I didn’t like was Chris’s return. While I think Chris is a neat character, in that I think in a way, he’s supposed to be the “Player 1” in Sonic X, I think returning him to a kid was just… why? Seeing how he’s different as an adult may have been good, and we don’t even know if he’ll retain his scientific knowledge now. At least then he might be more useful than before…

And worst of all, he didn’t even bring the hot wheelchair girl with him!
