[ Episode 9: Claire Stanfield Faithfully Executes His Professional Duties ]

LOL. This episode “WTF’ed” me so good I just had to laugh. Seriously, the storytelling in this episdoe is a perfect example of what keeps Baccano! leagues ahead of the vast majority of shows this year. I didn’t expect the conductor to be Claire since I thought it was the woman in green at first. Claire, or rather, Vino turned out to be the Rail Tracer. That guy is friggin scary. He tears people limb from limb with his beyond human strength with ease and his agility gives him the ability to move/maneuver in methods that are definitely not capable by a regular human. He’s also close to the Gandor family and can be considered a brother to them. He meets them after getting off of the train and is apparently going to kill someone else now. Two questions: Who is it that they’re going to kill (Dallas, maybe?)? And is Vino an Immortal?

Ladd, as always, is freaking hilarious. The guy is so excited that someone just like him is killing a slew of people. I can’t wait to see what happens when/if he confronts Vino!

Rachel, the girl in the green, worked for that information place. Can’t say I expected that. I’m also wondering exactly who the boss of that company is since he’s always been hidden behind those huge stacks of papers. He seems to know quite bit without stepping out of that office and even knows about Immortals. I hope we get to see who he is really soon. I’m also itching for some development on Chane. She’s such a beautiful woman. I hope she gets the spotlight soon. ^__^
