Aww, Patches...
::sympathy hug:: Hope you get to see it soon.
I only just got to watch it myself a little while ago, and, uh...
::giddy grin:: Approximately half the episode is filler dealing with the resurrection of Entei's old master (I forget his name), because the actual first encounter with Hakudoushi is way too short, so they have to spice it up
somehow. It's not bad, though... it even makes for a grander entrance for little 'Doushi, since he gets to show up and kick the youkai's butt to become Entei's new master. (And man... Hakudoushi pwnage might even be cooler than Houshi pwnage. XD) It is
way too much fun to watch the little man kick ass, I tell you...

Ooh, and that little dude is a bad a$$!!! I didnt' realize he was THAT small you know.
LOL... 'tis true, he is very tiny...

But oh so cute! XD

The episode sort of previews what's going to happen next week, too (and just to answer your question, Carrot--143 will still be canon... with Sesshoumaru, no less); we get to see a headless youkai or two. Which, incidentally, made for what was by far the most entertaining scene for me... Hakudoushi chops off a random head and then drags it along behind him like a Christmas tree while Kagura looks on. For some reason, it just totally cracked me up:


It's just like, "ho hum, another for the collection..." XD
But anyway... so basically, it was good. Spectrum gives this episode two severed heads up.
