Discuss the avant-garde sci-fi animated series created by Peter Chung that aired on MTV in the 1990s (and its live-action counterpart).
This episode is brilliant on just so many levels. The dialogue, the storyline, the action and the accompanying music is so damn well crafted and executed. The writing by Mark Mars is a stroke of genius.
The great delivery of the opening "danger boy" song, which the voice actor for Æon - Denise Poirier - said was the hardest bit she had to do in the series. The opening and closing shots of the episode with the boy are also an excellent touch.
On a deeper level, it also touches on the desire to get away from a place at the risk of one's life, for better opportunities, which is true for so many humans. You can't help but feel sad and sorry for Sibyl. The horror I felt when her legs are tied in the end and those tools come out, the same tools she worked on day in and day out, to do the job was terrifying! My mouth opened up with shock!
A solid 11/10!
