Well this sucks… [updated]

I’m stuck somewhere with (only) wifi/iPhone access until tomorrow. And CR’s iPhone app is glitching, so I can’t watch Moretsu Space Pirates. Grrrrrr.

Well, I finally deleted CR’s iPhone app and reloaded it, which solved the problem — mostly. Unfortunately the download glitched, and the last few moments would only repeat the beginning of the episode. It was the right length, but it would only play the beginning again, not the end. What point did it glitch at? The absolute worst possible, of course. Misa fires her gun, and Luca’s eye goes wide in shock. Thats it. That’s exactly where it restarted. ARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH! [vader]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO![/vader] Now you tell me that was an accident, and I will tell you that you haven’t seen the episode. That had to be malice aforethought from my iPhone. Damn thing is possessed!

So I figured I was stuck for another two hours, and decided to go read about it at Chizumatic Lo and behold, as spoiler-laden as the episode itself was (by definition, duh), the missing four minutes of show/preview had even bigger surprises. And hey, any scene with Blaster Ririka in it can’t be bad, so it was nice to finally watch it. (It downloaded properly the second time).

I do want to make one note about the first of the surprises after the glitch: I’d noticed something odd about Luca a while back — after the forced hospitalization, she never did her mystic-gazing-in-the-crystal-ball thing again. I was wondering where it went, but I put it down to the writers getting bored with it. Silly me, I should have known better.
