catching up on the lxd: chapters 4-8


Fell behind on my LXD episodes! Director Jon M. Chu's dance adventure webseries continues to impress, with some of the most amazing dance ever showcased on the web, packaged in a really fun fantasy format. Last night's highly anticipated debut of chapter 8, "Elliot's Shoes," features none other than Glee's Harry Shum Jr. But first...



Chapter Four: The Uprising Begins. Two long-time enemies, Tendo and Spex, face-off in an action-packed after-hours showdown. Only one will emerge victorious, but the message is clear--the Uprising has officially begun and The LXD must be reassembled.



Chapter Five: The Lettermakers. With the Uprising having begun, it is up to the Lettermakers to assemble The LXD army and recruit fresh blood to fight the ultimate battle. However, to find the most extraordinary, they must hone their own skills first.



Chapter Six: Duet. Former LXD members now in hiding are called to action with the start of the Uprising. Two of those are former lovers Katana and Jato. They must let go of their past for the good of the group, but their connection is undeniably strong.



Chapter Seven: The Dark Doctor Deal. Autumn, having gone rogue, is being reprogrammed by the Dark Doctor to follow his command once again and fulfill her part of their deal.



Chapter Eight: Elliot's Shoes. Unassuming hero Elliott Hoo discovers a pair of magical shoes with a personality of their own. Once he puts them on, he finds himself being taken down a new path... toward an unknown future.
