Unfortunately, this is probably my least favorite of the series so far. Hunter had a kick-ass design, but there were two big things that killed it for me:

1.) The whole thing felt like a poor attempt to mimic the ol' X-Men "fantastic racism" scenario, but it just doesn't fit in a setting where everyone is infected (this was mentioned very briefly, but shrugged off too quickly, like the writers would rather be doing an X-Men story).

2.) The "rival hero creates his own disasters to stop" thing, as I mentioned in the UA "Hero Time" thread, is one of my least favorite cliches. The moral ambiguity with Hunter was the only good thing about this episode, but then it just gets thrown away and we get "Nope, he's full-blown bad guy!"

Wow in contrast to the post above this is actually my favorite of the series so far.

It's really intense and exciting to watch especially the fight at the end. Also the way Hunter Cain is prejudice and how he can use mob mentality to whip everyone into a frenzy I found is really realistic and happens too much in real life.

And the message of how people can be stupid and closed-minded, but you gotta do what you gotta do anyways just awesome.

9/10

I guess if there's anything I dislike about this episode is Hunter himself, because of what you mentioned. I don't hate him enough, to not like this episode, because it's establishes how people now know about Rex and what he does.

Yeah this episode really explains how Rex is kind of famous in the latest episodes that has aired.

Though I am surprised Rex has gotten the Ben Tennision celebirty treatment? Except for "Leader Of The Pack" which actully is before Hunter Cain exposed to the world, he has been to any place glamous like movie premeres or had autograph signings like Ben. Not that I want to see that.

Return of the cartoony sound effects!

Oh hey, closed captioning, thanks for prematurely revealing that guy's name.

**zoombie** · 10-08-2010, 08:35 PM

I bet Rex "didn't see that" coming.

**Mesousa** · 10-08-2010, 08:39 PM

OMGWTFBBQ a Noah appearance.

Maybe they're fearing you because you might accidently destroy property?

How dare he protect us from danger and keep us safe!

**trance2009** · 10-08-2010, 08:39 PM

Get outta here, evo-lover.

Yeah, we know what this has become a metaphor for now.

**zoombie** · 10-08-2010, 08:40 PM

Rex has to be like Jackie Robinson and just take all the crap. Though I can't blame for fighting back bunch of ingrats.

**Edward15** · 10-08-2010, 08:41 PM

You know, if that truck was from Providence, they've got a crummy way of saving their guy.

**ToonsLover** · 10-08-2010, 08:44 PM

I loved this episode when I saw it On Demand, and it was my favorite GR episode yet then, but now these new episodes are kicking a**! I've seriously thought since I first started watching this series that every episode improved upon the last, this show truly is a great hit. Although I think some of these new "filler" episodes should've aired earlier in the season to space out Van Kleiss' appearances, but this truly is a great show, and it's in between two of my other favorite shows!

For some reason people just don't trust a supranational military organization that operates in semi-secrecy and influence, funding, and power depends on their promise to protect them from a massive threat.

**trance2009** · 10-08-2010, 08:47 PM

Fun fact - Hunter is voiced by John Cena.

Yeah I know thus my earlier post about how Rex "didn't see that" coming.

So this was the rumored John Cena role?

I didn't believe it, but looks like it is.

Oh, and yes, he's doing pretty good in that role.

Yeah I know thus my earlier post about how Rex "didn't see that" coming.

Maybe you should've also mentioned that Rex just had an "attitude adjustment".

**Mala Loba** · 10-08-2010, 08:51 PM

Best episode so far in my opinion...nice to see the whole thing from the other side, though admittedly it would have been better to see the other side portrayed with more shades of gray.

Though I will admit, these type of episodes have always held a little appeal with me.

**Mesousa** · 10-08-2010, 08:53 PM

What's with the female jazz singer throughout the episode?

The cartoony sound effects are back. Hooray.

That is John Cena, as if it wasn't obvious, he basically sounds rough.
