It's been a number of episodes since a discussion thread popped up in here (though /r/hunterxhunter always has one).

I say this almost every time I mention this series, but I love pretty much all of the characters within HxH. There wasn't much action, however this episode highlighted the range of personalities within the Troupe, some subtly, some not so much -- from little bits such as Phinks' failed bluff and Feitan's insistence on why they didn't chase, to each character's perspective of the Spider's head vs. limbs. Chrollo's ability to analyze and provoke the normally level-headed Kurapica also speaks to his character.

These interactions may not seem major, but they make the show for me as much as the action, especially when I like the characters as much as I do (which, once again, usually makes or breaks a series for me).

The next episode looks to be another test of will too...although it's been too long since I've seen the original series to remember.
