so, wow, they did a bit of a time skip... even though you can sorta see how each of the first eight episodes may have represented a half of a month each.
It's nice to see someone acting. Go HRL, go!!! (I was rooting for them)
Did anyone notice that strange piano variation music playing very softly in the background while the Gundams were docking and then the awkward sequences with Setsuna? He and Tieria so want to fuck each other... (not really)
A shit ton of good background in this episode. We learned a lot about Felt and Lockon, not to mention how CB operates. I like how the relationships between CB members are rather open and direct with the love connections in a strange way. It's refreshing to not see so many 'secret crushes'.
"Are we really going to fight? This ship isn't armed!" This made me lol, as it was the most absurd strategical setup flaw for CB from way back when the MS designs and the Ptolemaios design were shown in model kits and promos....
Can we please talk about how awesome the HRL was in this episode? Setting up such a massive net to catch CB (although they could have used more mobile sutis, it seems to me...), using the transports as diversions, then the kamikaze transport ship, those were all absurdly sweet moves. The minefield should have straight up destroyed the Kyrios. It was simple protagonist BS advantage that Hallelujah survived such a trick.
And, I was totally wrong, Hallelujah and the HRL girl's connection simply exists because of their own nature... It wasn't initiated by anything more than them being in close proximity last time...
This show is kicking ass.
what isn't cool is the possibility of Lockon having some separated twin brother. (from the sequence before the OP) The soap opera character cliches still loom with the threat of ruining this thing.
