Ok, crack-brained theories you've shared...
"Neo/Mwu pilot's Freedom to its destruction, and dies with it. (If the pilot had to die)"

Like it's been said before, there is NO plausible reason to let Neo/Mwu pilot Freedom at this time. Maybe later in the series, IF he gets his memories back, that could be a possibility, he takes a spare MS in AA's hanger and saved the day. But right now, even if he had gone "I remember everything!" it's too soon for them to trust him enough to give him the keys to one of the most powerful Gundams in existence. You HAVE to admit that the AA's crew is NOT stupid enough to just go "He looks and acts like Mwu, and he says he remembers everything. We'll just forget everything he's done for the EAF, and while we're at it, let him pilot Freedom to defend us, even though Kira is the superior pilot, and we'll just flat out ignore the possibility that he could be faking remembering just to escape." Theory debunked.
First off this theory had a very simple requirement. That requirement was if in episode 34 Freedom was destroyed and the pilot was killed. If for whatever reason Mwu regained his memories and someone had to die he was simply the only truely expendable character. He's a EA officer so its not like they would let him surrender or escape and Shinn would certainly have a lot more reason to kill him. Also please note when the first half of the battles in this episode were simply removed this was no longer a possibility so your arguing a absolutely dead point here.

I'm going to say it only this once- PLEASE for the love of whatever deities are out there, stop god-modding Kira. He's uber enough as he is, even if he can be beaten by Shinn once. To start tossing in crap like "They planned to fake his death in a split second" is only an attempt to rationalize that Shinn can't possibly beat Kira honestly, and it takes more and more away from Kira being human- yes, he's the UC, but that doesn't mean he's infallible. He can be beaten, he has been beaten, and for all of his strengths, he's only human.
You are misquoting this entirely. I stated that Shinn got in some hits on freedom the most relevant being destroying the wing. However, That when Shinn stabbed Freedom Kira diverted the blade to a nonvital location and used the chance of Impulse being at extremely close range and unable to dodge to take out the sensors on Impulse (namely chopping off the head and arm which is clearly shown). This final movement was made by Kira expressly to escape withough giving Zaft what they wanted.

>_< God I hate this one. Yes Shinn is an ass, I won't deny it- but now you're calling him a coward, and for some reason you want to think that he has the technical know-how to know what is needed to keep Stellar alive, when people with more medical training who were given access to the lab's database couldn't do anything for her. That's not even realistic, now it's like you're trying to god-mod Shinn to show that he's just trying to sluff off the responsibility. I.e. say he's capable of more than he really is so you can try to legitably say "Shinn's just trying to get out of feeling responsible for Stellar."
This is a fact not a theory unless of course you can show me any part where Shinn blames himself or Neo for what Stellar was doing with Destroy. Shinn has never once blamed himself for any of his own actions in the entire series. The only argueable exception to this is when his famil initially got killed and the joke is thats the only time he didn't actually cause the problem in the first place.

I don't believe a single one of these is either insane or out of character for ANY of those in GSD and I fully stand by them. Note the first was a scenario that involved several things happening that never took place and thus the scenario had no place. They rushed the battle between Impulse and Freedom to the point that this episode lacked atleast 15 minutes of the battle that would have taken place before Minerva managed to show up.
