Solid State is also a common term used from amps that use microchips and not tubes. This is what i thought when i first heard it. If you think of it its kinda cool, cause they would be keeping with the "gig" idea.

He's gouda, he has to have a spectacular death. I'm sure it would be a bit more discrete if it were real life, but hell this is tv, let him get shot up. Speaking of the apples, when i saw them they looked too bright for the show. The season has been very dark, and bright green is not a color typical...

I'm not saying murder is on the same level, it was just an example what fails that test. Suicide also fails the test, and is probably a lot closer to what this is. With suicide, the only person your hurting is yourself. It still is bad for society, and not natrual. I used the test merely to show tha...

Yeah i see what your saying. Perhaps i got to caught up in the anlogy and forgot what the point was. Anyways. I should have emphasized that the Major is part of the goverment, and the government does not allow people to do this sort of thing. If they allowed it, quickly things would fall apart and e...

Well i kinda thought about it like this... Consider a group of people with sufficient funds to be on hallucinogenic drugs all the time sitting in a room. Eventually the narq squad catches wind of this and bust up this group of people trapped in some experience. The Major would be a memeber of the na...

yea thats the one! but you can download legaly too :D lol guilty conscience on my part :oops: . But yeah, i haven't come across it, so im guessing it'll be on the next OST (if there is one). Though alot of songs from this season seem to be music orchestrated for specific moments in episodes, this t...

I have been watching the episodes when I can on Cartoon Network, and during the 3rd episode of the 2nd gig called "Cash Eye" there is a song that plays during the the time when the creepy old guy is all over Motoko. anyone know the name of this song/artist? I really want to download it :P...

I find it interesting that in episode 14: Poker Face it is mentioned by the tachikomas that Japan wants a type of payback against America for how world war 2 ended via the renegotiation of the security treaty to make up for their "loss of face". Does anyone know what this would be about? ...

On the East Coast, AS showed the April Fools episode at 11:30pm, an hour earlier than its regular time slot but then at 12:30am, AS showed the unmodified version. I liked seeing what Berlin will look like in the year 2032. Yeah, I saw the episode at 3:30 where it was modified, but my roomate told m...

Dunno if anyone else tuned into adult swim tonight, but it was a classic april fools IMO. So here is the set up. Me and my friends are playing poker all night and go get some pizza. We come back in time for GITS Sac 2nd gig so i put it on. Now my friends have seen at most 1 or 2 episodes from watchi...

Plus the tie-ins allowed them to keep the Stand Alone Complex title. That alone is worth a few brief mentions

I lolz at this episode. I love it! I love the part where Motoko is lieing in bed with her head on the pillow, hair beautifly messed up. Where can I get a screen of this!? Plus the idea of compressing cocaine into statues for easy smuggling; why didn't I think of it?! Yay for DVR, being able to rewa...

Do we see Proto, Azuma, or any of the other newbies getting seriously involved with any of the episode storylines or the main individual eleven/refugee storyline? It seems to me that for the moment at least they're just sitting on the backburner with no real purpose. We don't see them in previous e...

Marto, the episode that we are talking about is called Red Data, it is a 2nd Gig episode and its episode number is 17. Ooh, so it's going to be on the next DVD then, right? I'm only up to DVD 4. Yeah, most of this stuff has been comming up as these episodes are shown on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim...

Yeah, i figured she was in her thirties just because of the timelines and all. But without that knowledge a person with her body could be his age. It would create a weird, ageless society in a way.
