Star Force: Skeleton Change!

Plot Synopsis
The EM-Wave comet is still hovering around the Earth, making the FMian's act all screwy. Crown Thunder, with his enhanced power however, heads to the natural museum to take control of all the dinosaur fossils. Geo and everyone just happen to be down there at the time, and Geo pulses in to fight, but Omega-Xis keeps refusing to help for a variety of trivial reasons that he considers not very gentlemen like.

Fighting on his own, without any weapons, Geo has no choice but to dodge Crown Thunder's attacks, while the FMians watch on a monitor. Crown catches MegaMan, and just as he's about to finish him off, Wolf Woods, unable to resist his new love of bones, shows up and snatches one of the bones off of Crown Thunder's legs. This frees up MegaMan, and the comet goes out of range of the Earth. Suddenly, Omega-Xis snaps out of it, as does everyone else, and MegaMan blasts Wolf Woods and Crown Thunder with an Ice Pegasus Star Break. They escape and everything is back to normal.

Critique
Pretty good episode, although the ending is a bit of a cop out I think. Omega-Xis has some pretty funny lines like how "rude it would be of him to blast fire out of his mouth at someone." I gotta hand it to some of the artistic direction here, as seeing MegaMan's lifeless looking body hanging out of Crown Thunder's jaws is a bit horrific.

This episode marks the end of the middle, and now we're making our way towards the end of the season. There's been a few lamer episodes in the mid season, but quite a few good ones as well. Things really start picking up for the climax from here though.

Rating: Thumbs up!
