Stardate 20011008.2137 (On Screen): Samurai Jack, the new cartoon series by Genndy Tartakovsky, continues to amaze. I just finished watching the fifth episode and it was superb. The first three episodes were outstanding, but alas the fourth episode stunk. With the first three I was on the edge of my seat throughout and
never knew what was coming next. The fourth episode fell back on stale stereotypes and it telegraphed its ending. But with the fifth episode they were back in prime form; again I had no idea what was coming and no idea what the ending would be. It will be shown again this coming Friday and Sunday; I urge you all to watch it if you possibly can. It is truly stunning. If they can stay at this level consistently, this series is guaranteed to get a Hugo, and quite possibly an Emmy.
