I think I would have to agree with most of what Miro69 had to say about the series so far. Don't mean to stir up the waters with those of you who think that this series is currently better than Gundam Seed. The only thing that I do not agree with Miro is the music.. The only bad one so far for me was the 4th Opening...and nothing else..

It as if I've been thinking exactly what Miro69 was thinking....he just put it down in a post before I did. One thing that really bothers me is how the director keeps on trying to convince you that his protagonists somehow survive everything. I mean. Kira escaping the Aegis while it was clamped to him, and he had no time to get out.....was kind of stretching it. Mwu's death at the end for me was actually a great point in the series, I absolutely loved his character....he was probably one of the only constant "solid" guys that drove the first series. What he has been reduced to now....is just ....a shame to what he stood for. And Shinn....not only failing once, but twice with his cockpit stabs....ugh, I hope they changed the sword guidance system for him intentionally.

Seed was all about the brother-ship of Kira and Athrun, and it drove the whole series because of this "hope" they gave you in their bond....and they delivered. It did have its downfalls, like Fllay....

I'm not saying that Destiny is just bad.. It could rectify itself in my eyes in the next 11 or so episodes....its just that I was disappointed because the only reason why I watch it is to see what Athrun and Kira do. I could careless what happens to Shinn, if he changes or not....or his gang....except for Lunamaria, she's just....so awesome. There is no doubt this series is all about Shinn. It might be just my opinion, but no mature or rational person would think like he does in the situations he's been in, and therefore I can't see how anyone can connect with the person on any kind of level. But it could also be looked at as a good thing since no one can possibly predict how he's going to behave or act in a given situation. He's just a container for suspense for me, bad suspense.

Miro, you aren't the only one.

I do respect all the others opinions though, they are entitled to theirs as much as I'm entitled to mine.. So with that said, lets just enjoy the rest of the series! I just love Gundam and all its wonderful MS's...if only they made a full length feature film using the Gundam theme with CG mixed with traditional cell....like Appleseed was....oh that would be great! They can do it with Macross or Gundam or anything...I just think they could do much better with eye-candy Epic Space Battles than Star Wars....does anyone else think this?
