Wow, the hollow Ichigo is fricken insane! Kinda looked like Gin with that maniacal laugh/face. All I got to say is, "Kuroi Getsuga" was awesome!
Looks like BanKai has several (if not many) different levels/moves. Byakuya's second was strange...I still don't quite get why Ichigo was slowed down so much. Can anyhow explain? I'll certainly have to watch again.
@XanBcoo: Yeah, I was thinking, "Show what is inside, show what is inside. SHIT, a cliffhanger!" Oh, well guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks before finding out. I need to somehow ween myself from this show. Tuesday nights are killing me and the wait sucks too!

Not that that isn't an astute observation DarthEnder, but...here we go again with the Naruto/DBZ/Bleach comparisons.
