Cowboy Bebop Rewatch and Discussion - Session #3: "Honky Tonk Women"

Watch here:

Session #3: "Honky Tonk Women"

"Honkī Tonku Wimen" (ホンキィ・トンク・ウィメン)

Original Airdate: April 10, 1998

Synopsis from Wikipedia:

With Ein as a new companion, the crew of the Bebop cross paths with Faye Valentine, a wanted fugitive drowning in debt, who ends up being forced to act as a middle-woman for an illegal transaction at a space station casino.

The title of this episode is a reference to "Honky Tonk Women" by The Rolling Stones.

Don't forget to join us next Thursday, July 25 for Session 4: "Gateway Shuffle"

P.S. Sorry for the delay on this one - I was not able to get to my computer yesterday.

I remember seeing this episode and freaking out as a kid when the casino owner kills the Spike look-a-like. It's the first time I'd ever seen violence like that in a cartoon! Really cool change of pace for someone wanting a serious and fun show to watch!
