Ok, watched this ep RAW, which is a first for me. Of course, my head ached over the dialogue missed, especially the Talia/Athrun argument and the Mirrue/Talia communication. Of course, the action is what I wanted. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

As for THAT......yes, yes, YES!! What a nice fight and I'm happy, knowing that Kira wasn't 100%. Because then, there'll be an even BIGGER fight coming our way soon, with Destiny vs. Strike Freedom. When it comes to crediting Shinn for the win? Well......I'm not so sure.

Pros:
Ultimate utilization of the Impulse. Lovely, lovely.
Emotion was high and with it, came a grand piloting performance from Shinn.
Kira wasn't pwned, not so much that he can be completely defended.

Cons:
Shinn wasn't alone (Rey's strategy, Meyrin's deployments, etc)
Kira was distracted and not 100%. I freely admit that.

I didn't think that Freedom would explode like that. That surprised me and my mind screamed his name just as Athrun did, lol. One thing I raised my eyebrow at was how Shinn was when it was over. Methinks he's finally snapped.

Can't wait for the sub!! ^_^ *prays Cellphone^2 releases their's before I leave for work*
