I thought everything up to episode 34 was great in Destiny. I thought they had a lot of potential, and they weren't pulling any punches. To me, it felt like it was trying to emulate UC a bit more, with the whole "There are no bad guys in war, only two opposing sides." And the climax to the fight with Shinn and Kira was surprising, and I thought brought the series to a new level.

Then they just absolutely shit over everything they set up. Character development, plot, relationships, and even deaths. It's like someone was in charge of the first 34 episodes, and then someone else took over...
