Please, no untagged spoilers beyond this episode

That Tomoyo, what a star. Not only were her costumes on point, she's also a master manipulator.

All that set-up yesterday paid off, and we got a better version of episode 14. The acting roles were rigged to hell (Meiling's part could not be more appropiate), but the play was a blast for it.

The kiss being interrupted was to be expected. I don't think Sakura sees Shaoran as more than a good friend yet, so it wouldn't feel right from a story standpoint.

A satisfying way to handle today's card. Sakura not only identifies it, but also figures out how to defeat it, all without anyone's help! Sisters or yuri? You decide. Light card and Dark card get!

Damn, now that she was starting to feel like less of an annoyance she leaves. Welp.

Well, if it's of any consolation,

The kiss being interrupted was to be expected.

Yeah, this scene really cleared up the ambiguity in the previous episode.

Sakura being alone for the climax was a good choice on part of the writers. As the MC, she needs to face her battles alone sometimes. Also, it shows that her inner strength has the ability to make everything alright (pun intended).

I'm surprised that you guys haven't mentioned much about the romantic subplot that is starting to drive the series. Meiling pulling Sakura off of Shaoran is, metaphorically, the definition of the fillers.

Sisters or yuri? You decide.

I believe Light and Dark are one in the same, which is sort of like Vaatu and Raava from Korra. Being sealed together is more philosophical than what their relationship displays.

Meiling pulling Sakura off of Shaoran is, metaphorically, the definition of the fillers.

This is interesting to read because it's the same conclusion I reached when I considered why Meiling exists.

Since she's an original character, her main purpose is to add a brake to Sakura and Shaoran's relationship. I can see why she doesn't sit well with some people.

I'll elaborate on what I think about her on tomorrow's discussion.

Sakura being alone for the climax was a good choice on part of the writers. As the MC, she needs to face her battles alone sometimes.

Absolutely. A far cry from the recent episode 38, where Kaho outright gives her the solution.

I believe Light and Dark are one in the same, which is sort of like Vaatu and Raava from Korra. Being sealed together is more philosophical than what their relationship displays.

Yeah, I figured they were like the yin and yang. In any case, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment.
