The biggest surprise so far was Roadblock shooting the squad of Cobra Troopers in the back and laughing the whole time.

The GI Joe roster is so huge they could go on killing characters like this for a long time and not run out.

This was just junk story telling. Its good that they have the restrictions for violence and death lifted somewhat but it can not be a replacement for a good story. Dont get me wrong though the series as a whole is good.

I liked the old back story better too but considering it's five minute episodes, I think they're doing a good job storytelling and there's a lot going on.

Looked like they had parachutes on. They'd be crazy not to, right?

I like this story too. The good thing is that it could be written and re-written any time.

I can't believe they killed off Stormy. I am loving the cartoon.

I see your point but they did take the time to change the story when it was done better before. They did not have to do that.

Too bad about the Storm Shadow .. "ending". What are they gonna do later.. bring him back from the dead? I rather like the idea of him and Snake Eyes ruling the clan together. Life is a circle kinda thing, a bit of Asian philosophy sorta.. yin/yang as the Hard and Soft Masters were.
There should've been more blood in ep 8.. sword through the hand should've had SE showing more emotion of pain--fighting without using the hand, shielding the hand, etc. Would've given a more despirate appearance to the fight--something that seems to be lacking in this series thus far. At least SS screamed. Still needed more blood.
The prolonged combat reminded me of something written in the manga Lonewolf and Cub, "Ninja acting like samurai."
Any idea who the other two unfortunate Joes were who fell back to Earth? I heard extremely high altitude skydiving is possible, especially if the person has one of those glider-like suits, similar to what SE was using earlier. Hopefully that's what those Joes are using. It strikes me odd that Tunnelrat would be so casual that his fellow Joes would fall to their doom under his command. Afterall, the Joes are supposed to be the good guys.. care for one's own team, buddies you can depend your life on.
Gung Ho and Roadblock... I hope they survived.. made it farther into the structure--far enough to be somewhat safe--before it blew. On YouTube somewhere's is a small vdo of Resolute being introduced in a convention, where Duke and Roadblock are under heavy fire by troopers, and SE drops down to rescue them. It ends with Roadblock saying "A ninja? I didn't know we had a ninja?". If this vdo isn't supposed to be of the past, then I am confident Gung Ho and Roadblock survived.
Other than this, I really like it.

Ok i can't say it enough this keep getting better and better
With that said here are my predictions
Ep. 7
1. Gung-ho and Roadblock are not dead and did not fall for the trap
2. Gung-ho and Roadblock are dead
4. One of the two is dead and the other goes on
5. One of the two is badly injured and the other goes on... and the
injured one is flown into Doc giving Doc something more to do
4. I hope the have a way to rescue Tunnel Rat..... may be the Defiant
Ep 8
1 . Storm Shadow is dead
2 If Storm Shadow is not dead it is because of the injury to Snake-eyes hand making so he could not put full force behind Move #7
and i know one thing Roadblock seems to love his job

Storm Shadow a loser in this toon. I'm glad he's dead. I can't believe they wasted all this screen time on this fight when it has nothing to do with CC's plot. Hell, it wasn't even about avenging Bazooka's death. It was about some stupid ninja power techinique.
I hope RB and Gung-Ho are dead. I hate their voices.
