    Memories....such a precious little thing!

    This episode is a true testament of why Cowboy Bebop is a masterpiece. The episode has everything, humor, adventure, quirky dialogues and in the end ...such sadness and melancholia! The video of Faye's old self and Faye watching her and asking herself "Is that me?" Is the most heartbreaking thing. We all have this one life, but can't even realise how fast each day,month and years are passing by. And in the blink of an eye, our present becomes long lost memories. The dialogues of young Faye really hits hard. So as long as you have your health and your life, live it to the fullest. Love your life!!
