Best Samurai Jack episode, possibly ever, is the one where Aku casts a spell and uses Jack's own anger and rage to create Mad Jack, kind of an evil version of Jack himself.
They fight a pitched battle, laying waste to the pristine forest surrounding them, until finally Jack realizes that, since Mad Jack was spawned from his own anger, all he has to do is get rid of the anger inside himself and Mad Jack will have no power.
Sounds kind of silly to be pulling deep, philosophical truths out of a cartoon (or, maybe, that's just W's disapproving look stuck in my head), but I must have watched that episode a dozen times recently. (I believe it is available online at the Toonami website, for those that are interested. First season, ep 7 or 8, I think)
Anywei, let's face it: W's got some real serious issues, personality flaws, raging psychoses, whatever. But, everything that has caused me pain/misery/what-have-you comes down to what I have done/accepted/felt/allowed to bother me. I just wish there was a Mad WalkingCliche for me to do battle with, something tangible to fight instead of this constant patience/introspection.
P.S. You want lame jokes?

Art! -What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs that spends a lot of time in the pool? Bob! -What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs that water skis a lot?

Don't mess with the master. Just be glad I have to keep it clean on this board.
