I thought it was a reasonable episode, aside form a few silly things namely;

- Athrun felt the need to jump... alot... also notice how they were all standing around in a group and Sarah shoots Meer, instead of pushing through the crowd Athrun just jumps over them.

- I know Lacus perscribes to the 'I'd prefer it if people didn't have to die, but I'm open to the possibility that they might not stop unless they are.' policy, but Kira seem absurdly removed from the idea of shooting a grenade so it blew up in the face of the person that threw it. Yes, she didn't die but if Athrun hadn't of shot her she probably would have been severely injured for the rest of her life.

- Sarah and her lackies seemed kind to wait the 4.5 minutes for Lacus to finish her speech before attempting to shoot her, and even IF Sarah didn't have a line of sight, the other 5 guys with rifles would have.

- Where the hell did Tori come from? and where the hell did it go? I might have missed something but I don't remember seeing it before OR after it distracted Sarah and gave off her location.

- Meer redeemed herself too quickly, while it wasn't a totally far-fetched idea, it just seemed rushed was all.
