Gundam 00 Episode 09

lame and boring may it be, I still hope they quickly explain Lockon's brother. Just why have they put him into this? I always thought the one under the tree was Lockon, since if he's with CB, he probably disappears now and then, or disappeared completely from everyone he previously knew, so when his brother came, he was surprised to actually see Lockon again.

For the 1st time after watching so many gundam series, I want the gundams to fail, and this series might just as well give me that. A brutal utter defeat, by low class mobile suit. Very nice eps. I guess it finally gave the feeling to ppl who were waiting for the gundams to be in the "BAD" situation. again best eps so far, I know they're gona pull a 360 on us and gundams will win this somehow but I enjoyed my fill.

A 180. A 360 is a full rotation.

Didn't we have this argument somewhere before?

[shinta|hikari]

Haha, it wasnt with me though. I just read it before, with Ryll doing the arguing.

I believe it was RyogaZell with whom I had the discussion. (If it wasn't, I'm sorry for thinking it was.)

However, careful wording does make a difference. A "turnabout" is definitely a 180. However, a "complete turnabout" can be both. From a literal standpoint, a "complete turnabout" is a 360. But from a literary standpoint, it still refers to a reversal, and thus a 180.

Really? What do you call then an indecisive action where someone first changes his opinion to the contrary, but then later is found to be back supporting the initial stance? Shouldn't that be a complete turnabout?

[Naruto_RNG]

I didn't mean to open up an argument. By saying 360 I meant to say that they have to come up with whole new plan to beat HRL which puts them back to squre 1 again, hence a full rotation. Sorry if it caused any confusion.

@Kraco: I used "turnabout" not "turnaround" for a reason. Yes, a "complete turnaround" is a 360. a "complete turnabout" is still only a 180.

@Naruto_RNG: No, no, we had the argument long ago already. This is just me waiting for eps 10 to be subbed and being very, very bored.

Hmm... I suppose I see your point.
