I don't feel like retyping it in paragraph format, but this is something I'm curious about.

Warning: Episode 50 spoilers

[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: I still think Roy's plan was kinda dumb, y'know
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: he didn't HAVE to start a rebellion. he really didn't
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: explain to me what difference it would have made if Havoc had just sat up there pretending to be Roy, and Roy sneaks into the Fuhrer's house and kills him?
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: This recipe calls for no rebellion.
[livejournal.com profile] zalia: true
[livejournal.com profile] zalia: but Roy always has to be dramatic
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: I think the stated point of the rebellion was to draw more troops away from Central so that his path would be clear to the Fuhrer
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: except uh... the Fuhrer is the head of state
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: ANY troops they keep in the city will be guarding the Fuhrer
[livejournal.com profile] zalia: absolutely
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: So you're gonna have to sneak around them anyway.
[livejournal.com profile] zalia: yup... no chance of him taking them out
[livejournal.com profile] zalia: there's no logic to it
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: Hell, if Hawkeye was particularly on her feet, she might even have snuck him back up to the North border and they could pass off his injury as line of duty
[livejournal.com profile] zalia: that's a good idea
[livejournal.com profile] mikkeneko: I'm just sayin' it could have been done without throwing away his ambitions (and all the fangirls' fond hopes) of him as Fuhrer.

Well, I'll have to go back and properly watch the episodes again (without all the fannishness with my friends this time), but I also had the idea that maybe Roy was trying to buy Ed and Al a little time. He knows Al is the Philosopher's Stone and they're both on the run from the military. His plan at least draws people away from searching for them.

It's not out of character for Roy, but I don't remember ANY mention of Ed and Al being any kind of motivation for this plan. But then, the subtitles I was working with at that time were kinda shaky.

Well, Spoon have released the rest of the series now, so grab 'em while you can with your unobstructed internet access, hussy</small?

Times like these I'm glad I made fullmetal_info (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fm_alchemist/1719307.html). :D

By the way, did you get the DVD I sent last week?

No... it might be waiting for me when I get home today, though. If so I will be a centre of happiness and kindess and love! ~<3

If not my sick little brother, who was too ill to get more than an hour's sleep last night, will be cleaning the goddamn house by himself while I sulk in my bedroom. ¬_¬

Poor brother. Hope his health was spared.

I don't remember any mention of Ed and Al being motivation either... I'm just desperately trying to justify his plan so I don't start thinking about what a bloody stupid idea it was.
