TRINITY BLOOD-THE STAR OF SORROW:HUNTER’S BANQUET-PART II-EPISODE 4-3 1/2 STARS

In this episode, we finally get to hear Matusalen’s hard luck story on how he lost his wife at the hands of the terrans, and the Vatican. But he has no proof that she was actually murdered. All he knows is that she went into town, and never returned.

And now, Matusalen wants his revenge by using the star of sorrow to take out the Vatican. Oh wait, let me tell you about the star of sorrow, it’s supposed to be some kind of a satellite orbiting earth’s outer atmosphere. Hmmmm, I wonder how he got that thing way out there?

Anyway, a module on the moon transmits electricity to the satellite, which in turn, transmits electric power to the earth’s surface. Hmmmm, I wonder how that thing got on the moon? Now this satellite was supposed to restore vitality to the city of Istvan, but Matusalen never explains exactly how this is to be achieved.

According to him, the Vatican grew suspicious and thought the star would be used for an attack, so they got the city to turn on Matusalen, and kill his wife. C’mon, that doesn’t really sound like the Vatican, oh wait, I forgot about Francesco the vampire hater and warmonger, so maybe it is true.

Matusalen plans to use the star to blow the Vatican to kingdom come, but Nightroad tries to stop him with a gun, but he’s rendered powerless. “C’mon Nightroad! If you’re gonna own, you really need to learn how to handle a gun, ’cause you suck right now!” Unfortunately, Nightroad is manhandled for a bit, then tied up.

Now it’s Esther’s turn to try to help, but of course a terran nun is no match for a vampire, and she’s pushed to the ground. Oh well, I guess everybody at the vatican should start saying their goodbyes! Speaking of the Vatican, Francesco is in an uproar because Matusalen’s men burned St. Mathias to the ground, and now he wants some vampire bloodshed.

He convinces the boy pope to send out a fleet, but they’re quickly annihilated by the star of sorrow. Catherina who’s probably the only sane one in the vatican, dispatches Tres, who comes to Nightroad’s rescue. And of course, he comes crashing in, spraying bullets all over the damn place, like some wild cowboy. You know, I really think he enjoys his job.

Next, the star goes off within miles of where Matusalen lives, and he wigs out. What in the hell is going on, he didn’t authorize that attack! Well, we find out that it was his former partner in crime, Dietrich, who’s working for his own band of goons, Rosenkreuz, to start a global war.

Okay, but if that happens, where is Deitrich gonna be, in outer space somewhere with the star of sorrow? Take a good look at this picture, I know someone who says that Dietrich is sexy as a snake, but I’m sorry, I don’t see it. I’m not sure how to describe him, but to me, he’s far from sexy. I mean, he’s all right, but………..

Anyway, we find out that Dietrich betrayed both Matusalen, and Esther as he comes to them in a hologram to say what a bad boy he’s been. Remember, he was with Esther in the church in the last episode, and he’s supposed to be dead. Now how he was able to fake a death is anybody’s guess.

Just to have a little fun, Dietrich gives Matusalen, and Esther the code needed to deactivate the star, but Matusalen refuses to use it, and decides to take out Esther so that she can’t use it either. You see, he still thinks that he can gain control of it, but it’s too late. It’s now crusnik time as Nightroad comes rushing in, and smacks Matusalen around, while Esther uses the code to try to stop the star.

“Esther, turn around real quick, so that you can see what Nightroad really looks like, a punk rock emo crusnik! Now after some major vampire owning, Matusalen is messed up so badly that he actually loses a few limbs along the way. Well, we can’t worry about him right now, ’cause Esther is having a hard time deactivating the star.

So Nightroad steps in, and after all this technological talk that comes out of his mouth, the star blows up outside of the earth’s atmosphere. Where is Nightroad getting all these technical skills to deactivate satellites, and navigate planes? Matusalen sees the end nearing, and to speed up the process, he stabs himself in the heart, apologizes for his crimes, and dies in Esther’s arms. Damn! And he was cute too! I wonder who’s gonna get that nice house he was living in?
