DC Specials Contest: 425 vs 491-504
Detective Movies Contest 2013: Information Thread Current Faceoff
"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

Re: DC Specials Contest: 425 vs 491-504
This was a pretty tough vote for me. I'm not the biggest BO fan, but these are two great episodes, with nice twists and turns and solidly done action. To sum up my thoughts, I made a bullet point list of sorts.
425 Pros
-Good pacing. Moved quickly and though it wound back forth quite a bit, I never felt "this needs to hurry up and end" while watching.
-Doesn't take place at night. I know this seems sort of minor, but its nice to have a BO episode have a primary setting that can be described as something other than "nighttime, in a vaguely claustrophobic location".
-Epicness. Akai shooting the wiretap out of Gin's hand is a signature DC moment.
-Good new character (Mizunashi Rena)
425 Cons
-Chianti and Korn are lame characters. Somehow, the two of them combined even less personality than Vodka.
-The BO segway was sort of lame. Given her past, one would think Mizunashi Rena would be careful to check for wiretaps (add to that the fact that she was being watched). This is trifle though- I sort of just wanted to say this somewhere.
491-504 Pros
-Shocking moment. A recurring character dying (make that dying*) is nice, just on principle.
-The case before the main BO segment was very good. Killer was obvious, but MO was awesomely sadistic.
-Chess match between Conan/Akai and Gin was quite enjoyable.
491-504 Cons
-Dragged. Much like 345, this just loses some of its mojo as it goes on and on.
-Shiranpuri. Really? Really? Really? That was just stupendously dumb (as was the entire Camel case actually).
-Had a lot of parts that weren't very exciting; e.g. a lot of the hospital scenes.
Ultimately, my vote goes to 425.

Tough choice!
Hmm....
I think I'll go for the longer arc.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.
