But men, do I love to see Ed getting the upper hand once more not because he had a plan, but because all the accumulative failures pill up till he break his own limits and surpass even "the speed of light". Love it, hate it, wathever but that was an amazing use of the past memories and tries.
He really grows in me as a good MC
