Ghost in the Shell

[XenopusTex]

Not 100% sure why this is listed as basically a stand-alone episode.  Without spoiling for those who may not have seen all 2nd Gig, this episode goes a long way toward explaining the last episode of the series.  The first time I watched the whole series, I was like holy... now it all makes sense.  For those who haven't seen all of 2nd gig, file this episode in your memory.

Union ... union ... uber alles.

Oh for the love of Pete, it's actually called "affection". And yes, that's lower-case. I think it has something to do with the flashback to the Major's childhood why it's lowercase, but I don't know for sure.
