The masterful weavers came to use the pile fiber just as painters use pigments, blending or juxtaposing different colors to create mottled or even shaded effects, as in the leaves of some of the large blossoms or the little hillocks and scudding cloud wisps in the border. The extremely fine weave (just over 1,000 knots per square inch) allows for sublime refinement in drawing and detail. Large fantastical blossoms are placed at the points where the vines meet, and smaller blossoms appear in the compartments as part of a secondary vine pattern. Here the field is divided into compartments, with a lattice formed by reciprocating serrated vines. The field pattern of these fragments represents a popular variation of the classic flower style, in which rows of flowers are presented in profile. Late in the century and throughout the next, the fussier millefleur style came into fashion, and floral elements became much finer in scale, sometimes clustered in repeating units. The majority of seventeenth-century examples thus reflect variations of the flower style favored at court after 1630. The earliest surviving Indian example dates from about 1620 to 1625, around the time of Jahangir’s initial infatuation with the flowers of Kashmir (see MMA no. The idea for using pashmina for carpets, and not only for shawls, seems to have originated in Iran during the second half of the sixteenth century. Pashmina had a number of advantages over silk as a pile fiber: it was strong, it allowed for an unparalleled fineness of weave, and it absorbed and reflected color at least as well as sheep’s wool. Carpet Fragment with Pattern of Latice and Blossoms Among all traditional carpet-weaving societies, northern India during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was unique in using the fine underhair of a breed of domesticated goat (Capra hircus laniger) over silk as the preferred pile material for the highest grade of carpets.

He introduces himself to the Planeteers, and explains that he is their powers combined and multiplied, but while he is there, the Planeteers' rings are powerless.Ĭaptain Planet then flies to battle Greedly and Rigger, and he wins. There is a glowing gold "Earth" emblem in the middle of his chest. The Planeteers then take Gaia's advice, and allow their powers to combine.įrom out of the Earth comes Captain Planet, a blue-skinned, green-haired, and brown-eyed super-eco-hero clad in red. However, the kids -now called, "Planeteers"- are stalemated: If they do anything, Greedly will spray the nearby animals with oil.

Distressed at the destruction going on all over the planet, she calls in five young people from all over the globe, and gives each a powerful ring: This is basically an adaption of the first episode: Hoggish Greedly and Rigger are drilling for oil in a protected area, and their drilling wakes up Gaia, the Spirit of the Earth. A PSA at the end of the episode warns about the dangers of recreational drugs and urges those addicted to seek help.Publication date: October 1991 - October 1992 In the end, all those addicted, including Linka, receive medical attention and treatment for their withdrawal symptoms, while Skumm accidentally doses himself with Bliss. Linka, realizing what happened, manages to escape the temptation of another hit and they summon Captain Planet, who defeats Skumm. Skumm sends his Bliss-heads after the Planeteers, chasing them to the top of the Capitol building where Boris overdoses and dies.

He offers Linka’s Planeteer ring in exchange for more drugs, and to get it, Boris spikes Linka’s food, hooking her on Bliss. Bedraggled and in pain, Boris returns to Skumm after Linka accidentally destroys his supply. Verminous Skumm is selling a new designer drug known as ‘Bliss’ on the streets of Washington DC, and Boris, Linka's cousin, is addicted. Blight derails the otherwise straight-faced narrative.

When an entire episode centers around the chillingly realistic depiction of animal abuse, it hits a little differently. You know what’s just weirder than the Planeteers dealing with Hitler? The Planeteers dealing with puppy mills. The episode finishes with a PSA about adopting pets from shelters rather than buying them from pet stores. Blight is presumably mauled by her guard dogs.

Faye Valentine Voiced by: Megumi Hayashibara (Japanese) Wendee Lee (English) Portrayed by: Daniella Pineda įaye Valentine ( フェイ・ヴァレンタイン, Fei Varentain) is one of the members of the bounty hunting crew in the anime series Cowboy Bebop. In the past, people watching my shows have come up with better ideas than my original intention for the story. If I say something in an interview that tends to make it official so I try to avoid a definite answer. Just because I put something there does not mean they have to believe it. In a May 2013 interview, director Shinichiro Watanabe stated "I want the audience to interpret it however they want to. Spike does go from seeing his beloved and recently departed Julia with his left eye, the eye that sees his past to seeing her with his right eye, the eye that sees his present. In the final episode, Spike kills Vicious and collapses afterward, but his fate after the battle has never been officially confirmed. He is also a talented pilot in his personal fighter, the Swordfish II, a modified racer. The purpose of this cybernetic eye is never explicitly stated, though it apparently gives him exceptional hand–eye coordination – particularly with firearms (Spike's gun of choice is a Jericho 941, as seen throughout the series). As said by Spike himself in the last episode, his right eye "only sees the present" and his left eye "only sees the past". A recurring device throughout the entire show is a closeup on Spike's fully natural left eye before dissolving to a flashback of his life as part of the syndicate. He is usually dressed in a blue lounge suit, black skinny tie, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III-inspired boots.Ī flashback in Session 6 revealed that his apparently fully functioning right eye was surgically replaced by a cybernetic one (although Spike himself may not have conscious recollection of the procedure since he claims to have lost his natural eye in an "accident"). He has fluffy, blackish green hair (inspired by Yūsaku Matsuda's role as Shunsaku Kudō in Tantei Monogatari) and reddish brown eyes, one of which is artificial and lighter than the other. The inspiration for Spike's martial arts is found in Bruce Lee, who uses the style of Jeet Kune Do as depicted in Session 8, "Waltz for Venus". He is often depicted with a cavalier attitude, but occasionally shows signs of compassion when dealing with strangers. Spike has a history of violent activity, seen through flashbacks and dialogue with the Red Dragon Syndicate. Spike Spiegel ( スパイク・スピーゲル, Supaiku Supīgeru) is a tall, lean, and slightly muscular 27-year-old bounty hunter born on Mars.

Julia always came out on top.Īnd given the Julia/Spike Elektra/Vincent parallels which all but stated that the time Spike spent with Julia was the only time in his life that ever felt real to him, it really highlights how Faye's prospects were slim to none in any case.

Take a little Tomb Raider, throw in some Indiana Jones, add more than a touch of National Treasure and pepper it with some heist movies like Ocean’s 11, 12, 13 and even 8, then blend it all together with the familiar tropes of 100 other mismatched buddy movies and voila you have the recipe for Uncharted. It basically is a mishmash of so many movie franchises of the past few decades that it feels like a sequel rather than an original hoped-for franchise starter. Thanks to some nice chemistry between its stars and smart casting of its two more intriguing female roles, it is much better than the script from Rafe Lee Junkins, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway they are handed.

IGN Wii: How does the four-player multiplayer work on Wii? How is this different from the main game? The two-player gameplay of the arcade version is very exciting, but we want the Wii users to play Ghost Squad when inviting friends and playing games with four friends. Yosuke Okunari: This time, the game supports four-player gameplay. IGN Wii: For the Wii version specifically, what has gone into the game that wasn't included previously in Ghost Squad? Are there any new modes or gameplay elements? In this mission, you have to overcome the enemies that attack you with a knife. Yosuke Okunari: The non-shooting missions include grapple with the enemies. IGN Wii: As a follow-up, can you describe a few of the non-shooting activities in the game? We've seen bomb areas and sniper challenges in the game. This style of only using the Wii Remote is very similar to the atmosphere of the arcade version, but we will also include the vibration and sound features of the Wii Remote. The game menus will have almost the same performance as the usual Wii menus. Yosuke Okunari: You will only use the Wii Remote to play the game. IGN Wii: In general, how is the game controlled? Is there an inclusion of IR for menus, and how will the Wii remote be used to give the feeling of the arcade version?
