Spoiler:

I can't understand why some of you people keep on insisting that Ed's a racist. Judging from my understanding of the sub, Ed commented that because of Ishbalis having red eyes he once thought they were scary, however, it was his near-death experience the first time he fought Scar way back in Central that he became terrified of those eyes (not the guy) looking cold.

What was racist happened at the beginning of the episode, when a little boy, sitting alongside his parents on a passenger train stationed sideways to a freight train carrying the Ishbalis, cheerfully tried to wave 'hello' to the Ishbalis, but his parents stopped him and closed the curtain. Now that's prejudice, if you ask me

I also really disliked the discrimination atmosphere brewed in this episode among Ishbalis because of their banning to practice Alchemy. Rick's and Leo's discriminatory accusations seemed overboard to me, accusing the Old Hermit and Scar of being impure to their people.

Unfortunately, the Elrics have not progressed right much from where they left off. Since the ancient Ishvarite methods to produce the Philosopher's Stone imply to serve human bridges for its conception. Quite nothing positive and new, if compared to modern alchemy methods.

And what even startled me was Envy's absence when all surving Homunculi (minus Pride) gathered to prepare for the next move. It seems that Sloth's second-in-command because she was giving the instructions this time.
