Brokusatsu Episode 23 - Ult. Nexus 8, KRW 41&42 - Dangit Sam, His Name Is Jin (Note: His Name Is Not Jin)

In Ultraman Nexus a shocking twist occurs: the characters in the show are just as convinced as we are that Komon, the protagonist, is a worthless clueless idiot!  But it's a government job, so it's probably going to be pretty hard to get him fired.  And in other news, START THE CLOCK ON DOOMED GIRLFRIEND.

 

In Kamen Rider W, we experience an arc that's a bit of a time filler but nonetheless quite enjoyable, and love the background it reveals for the character Sam insists on referring to as backscratcher Cop.  And I insist on referring to as Jin, but I just realized his name is technically Jinno?  I feel like they must have referred to him as Jin at some point, or maybe the "no" syllable is really subtle, like some Japanese sounds.  But here's the important part: Sam doesn't write these summaries, and he doesn't have access to the emails YOU NEVER WRITE TO ANYWAY, so there's no way for him to ever find out.  Checkmate.

 

We also have another trivia game, which I think turned out way better than the first.  CANON... OR FANON?

 

Did they really need to throw Makura under the bus so hard here?  How long can I make these episode titles?  John Walsh, huh?
