Samurai Jack 2.02

XV: Jack Tales

Tale 1
- Jack encounters a double-headed, wish-granting sea serpent; after attempting to answer its questions correctly he gets swallowed by the beast; the episode ends with Jack in the belly of the beast, surrounded by a large group of scraggly looking old men

Tale 2
- Jack is approached and then attacked by a family of 4; they are drawn to his sword; eventually they turn on one another as they are revealed to be robots in disguise

Tale 3
- Jack seeks a fairy that grants wishes; the fairy is the prisoner of a gargoyle; Jack unsuccessfully attempts to take the fairy when the gargoyle is sleeping; he defeats the gargoyle but then has to use his wish on something other than a doorway back to the past
- love the use of panels in this one
- love how Jack thinks he knows better and by not listening to the fairy only make the situation worse
- love the bittersweet ending

- Unusual approach to an episode, although I think it may have been done on a couple more occasions
- nice episode but not even close to being my favorite
