Episode 03.07 Higher Stakes

[phoenix]

That was INCREDIBLE!!!! ;D Ooh I can't wait for next week. It's so good to have eyes only back and that they actually slept together! YAY!!!!!!! Once again great work! ;D ;D

[ML Fan]

Yay!! Max and Logan finally consumated their relationship!!! ;D This one was my favorite episode so far, it keeps getting better and better. I can't wait until next week, please don't let that virus stay in the picture for too long. They have already overcome so much.

Yes it was indeed another excellent ep! Very nicely done!

I liked alec and Logan chumming together as well. It's good to see them becoming closer. They make a good team.

Great job with the action scenes. Very well done. And Normal was portrayed perfectly once again.

I really enjoyed the basketball game. Having alec win made sense, but it was a nice scene and Logan playing basketball again is a good thing!

I liked the trading off of scenes when Logan is speaking to....is it Dix(?) and Max is speaking to OC about them "getting it on". Very clever and effective.

The angst just seems to be there each week, but what else could we expect under the circumstances. The reader is made to feel so deeply for the transgenics.

The love scene was perfect. Finally!! That should make the M/L shippers absolutely giddy with delight tonight! ;D I'm giddy just thinking about it! My favorite part was the comforting and holding each other afterward. Our couple finally able to show their love and devotion for one another. I loved it.

Good idea about the panic room. Gives them some privacy and might come in handy in the future. Good thinking!

I was very pleased with the entire episode. The characterizations were excellent as usual and the dialogue and action were spot on! You know I love Logan and he was wonderful as ever! Great job guys.....just wonderful!

Should I be scared about coming events? Those teasers are very......well teasing. They make us NOT able to wait for the next episode!

Ya know I was thinking how great it would be to have alec see either Logan, Max or both walking around with that JBF'd look. I'm sure alec's comment to that would be priceless.

I loved this episode. The suspense during the runs -either for beer or transgenic-rescue - well done. Wish we could see the fights - well-written, but it's just not the same - oh, well. "Transfer avenue" - great. Hope to see "Henry" develop - another "brainiac"? Loved the basketball competiton. Can alec beat Logan at Chess? Loved the point-counterpoint with O.C. and Max and Logan and Dix - shouldn't it have been alec? Just for sentimental reasons.

Ah, Mole - always there when one least expects him. What is he up to? Sorry about Kit and Kat - but would love to have seen that scene too. Max, at last, allowing herself to shed some tears without hiding it.

And what are we going to do with Sky?

Missed Lydecker. Glad to have a Streaming Freedom hack back.

Got a solution for the body-temperature. What can we do about those barcodes?

Well, if alec killed one of those cops who were trying to arrest Logan, how are we going to get Logan Cale back into the "law abiding" citizenry? Matt Sung has some deciding to do. And where was he and Clemente - they have to be up to something.

Happy about the lovemaking; upset, angry about the possibility of the "return of thee virus". That's the last thing we need. Grrrr.

Episode was tense, suspenseful, flowed well, Sketchy and Normal coming along nicely. Well done.

First of all this must is defiantely my favourite ep so far of VS3. I was smilling and laughing at certain times during the ep.

Firstyly let me congratulated the writers on some really clever lines they wrote:

In act II “Truth is, Max,” he said, taking a couple of steps toward her. “There’s nothing like getting something back you thought was lost forever.” That was really cool and said meant so much.

In Act IV “Original Cindy ain’t gonna put a shine on you, boo. It could happen.” Original Cindy held Max’s gaze. “But you gotta live your life. You can’t let what might happen tomorrow paralyze you today.”

An then the dialect after that between max and OC and then Logan and Dix that was SO cool and had me smilling all the way. DAMN!!!

And then .... the bit we have all been waiting for, Max and Logan getting busy. Finally. And congrates to the writers they did it really well

BUT as always things cant go TO WELL and now we are left with the prospect of the virus and other crap ruining evrything but we'll leave that till next week.

A few other things Im sure you guyz all remember that GREAT fit scene with Max and Zack in season1 outside of town by that old house, near a forest when Zack was trying to get max to leave with him. I just remembered that recently and was thinking how we really need to see some more kick ass fight scenes lick that even if it is only on paper. This ep however is a good start as we got to read max and alec/logan getting into some action.

man that was a lot of fun reading

WELL DONE WRITERS

[Nicolas]

Damn sorry that last post I made was riddled with grammatical errors but I hope you guyz could figure out what I was trying to say

Oh yeah and it is good to see EYES ONLY back in action

[DarkPhanton]

Okay everyone, to celebrate this amazing episode and the Max/Logan getting busy ;D as well as this great VS3, I just finished and posted another VS3 based fic, a more "detailed" M/L scene in the end of this episode (3.07 High Stakes), it's R rated so...you know. Anyway, check it out and please let a review to either praise or curse me, this is the link:

[Cavehominem]

Great ep! You read it a hundred times, but HOORAY! THEY DID IT!!! FINALLY! ;D ;D ;D It made me clap my hands and bounce up and down my seat when she took his hand!

Loved the whole Basketball-scene. Very well written. The conversation between Logan and alec was priceless!

Max and Blue kicking ass... I had to raise a fist and yell: "Yeah! Girls can kick ass!" Great, absolutely great!

Don´t know where to put Agent Martin. Have to know more about him.

Oh well, the Virus is back. Is one of the writers a sadist? Why do you torture us like that? Back to hell with it, and fast!

I bet Aveta knew what Logan wanted to talk to her about. Is she a mind-reader?

I almost forgot the shower-scene. No, better not think of it again...*sigh*

Can´t wait until next week! Great ep. I think i´ll go and read it again. And again....

[egg452]

I bet it is the best ep for all the M/L shippers, including me! max and logan getting busy, that's the plan ;D this is definitely an ep dedicated to all shippers.

I really love the dialogue by max/OC and logan/dix at the end of act IV.it's so funny and dramatic.

Is henry another 'braniac' like brain? it seems he's even more funnier than brain. So interested to know more about him. hope he can help max a lot in commanding in future

what's the dealio with agent martin? what's he/she up to? is she the new bad guy in max's life? hope she's no worse than Lydecker and White, both of them are great villains.

the basketball scene is excellent. glad to see the relationship of logan and alec is developing.together with max, 3 of them are finally getting into a team.

nice idea for the panic room! i missed the eyes only hack for a long time. now it's back! though there's nothing special in the streaming freedom , eyes only is back to operation. maybe logan can help the transgenics out in ths way. i wonder when will they know logan is eyes only. what would they think about that? hope i can get the answer in the coming eps.

where is Deck and other X5? are they dealing with the Familiars? hope to hear from them next week. they haven't been around for a couple of eps

I miss joshua too.what's he doing now? still being the teacher joshua? hope you writers won't forget him.

the teaser.... virus bitch is back. it mutated? damn! please DON'T put logan back to his wheelchair. he and max have suffered too much. that can't take this no more.

to all the writers: you're the man! i love the VS3 so much. it's getting better and better

I was not at home on Tuesday, but luckily I had my laptop. A friend set up a conference call between six of us. We all started watching (okay, reading) at 6 PM our time and made little sounds to each other, laughing occasionally until we got to the Epilogue.

Then we were completely silent until all of us had finished. Then just silence, and a big collective sigh.

And we all said AT LAST.. After two years. Well worth the wait.

They won't be able to stay away from each other now. ;D

Another wonderful episode from the most talented people anywhere.

i'm worried for aerie , she must have jumped out of joy and hit her head on the ceiling ;D ;D

I did just that. I jumped up and down on the bed, I was so happy. Then pow!!! Ouch!!!

Even during my delirium I noticed that Max had to be in charge. She came to Logan. I'm sure he had given up hope by that time and just thought they'd eat dinner and she would come up with another excuse to run.

Since it's only episode 7, there's so much time left for unhappiness, despair, bad hairstyles and pimp glasses.

;D

[Ginny]

No despair, please.

Well, Max and Logan got along so well at Bennett and Mary Anne's wedding, don't you think that they should have a little celebration of their own? Invite Fr. Destry to say "a few words" with O.C. and Joshua as "witnesses", the whole Jam Pony gang and all the
Transgenics and Matt Sung as guests, no Familiars allowed. Then we can have the party "crashed" by a-returning-Zack and the X5s with Lydecker whose plans are ..... ?

Just imagining.

[Aerie]

Oh Ginny, I love Father Destry, and I don't care if they invite him over for a BLT and a glass of pre-pulse wine. But please no marriage, no babies, no normal happy life.

Max and Logan wouldn't know what to do with happiness if it lasted longer than one episode.

As much as I liked Zack he can't come back. There are already too many characters for this series. They get in the way of more Max and Logan screen time.

The VS3 production staff needs to plan the spin-off and have it take place during episode 10, at the latest. Half the characters must go.

;D ;D

[Ginny]

No normal life, for sure; but maybe some happiness? I just thought that it was party-time - big celebration, before the next catastrophe.
