    Phase 40 discussion

    I also loved Yuna Roma getting decked, and Cagalli FINALLY did something right!!! She no longer is the dumbest female politician in Gundam history as far as I'm concerned...

    The opening scene with Shinn's dream and Rey trying to comfort him (or, well Rey is an emotional fucktard, so I guess that was his best attempt at comfort...) was really great. I really am interested to find out more about Rey, what his outlook on life and the military are and all those things. I still find it weird that I relate to the "bad guys" more than anyone else.... And it should be interesting, whatever Talia wants to do in regards to Dullindal's claim that Athrun and Meyrin deserted and betrayed them...

    Oh, and who noticed Rey taking charge over Capt. Gladys? "Shinn made the decision with the authority that Dullindal has given him. And I have acknowledged it. You should acknowledge it too Captain." Thats a boy! Slowly slowly working his way up to be the arch-villain!

    But otherwise, wasn't this a pretty lack-luster episode? Yet another new Gundam rolled out, more harping on Uzumi Atha's "will" and ORB's 'ideals' yadda yadda yadda...

    I believe that Cagalli's Golden Gundam is the ugliest thing I've ever ever ever witnessed in a serious Gundam show. It seriously should be Aztec Gundam from G Gundam or something like that, or the Alaskan Gold Rush. Is that where all ORB's tax dollars go? Cuz they have the same shitty defense line that failed at Onogoro from last war... (oh wait, thats just repeated footage from the previous series, oh yeh, can't get enough of that in Destiny can we?)

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    She never was, Relena got that title long ago. No one can beat her.

    Well up to this point I was pretty thoroughly disgusted with Cagalli. While Relena was always a puppet used to appease the more pacifist leaning politicians in Wing, Cagalli had actual control over one of the most powerful nations on Earth. Relena had to her nation and military (the small shitty thing it was) from the ground up, while Cagalli inherited Morgenraete, a thriving military and a nation that could rebuild. But she flushes it down the toilet to her pushy husband-to-be who wasn't even mentioned previously to Destiny, because she can't decide what to do?

    At least Relena got ousted by Treize Kushrenada. Getting one upped by Yuna Roma really made me hate her.

    Ugly? No. But it was seen before. 10 years ago in a show called Zeta Gundam, also in Gundam Double Zeta. It's name was Hayaku-Shiki. Bandai toy department gets their well earned bonus for boosting model kit sales yet another 5%! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
    There's nothing new in GSD which wasn't done before.
    Okay, no other shows had so overpowered Gundams before, xcept maybe for Wing.

    But if ep 41 is recap there should be some killing in Bandai HQ, this recap business is going too far.

    As for Andy's Gaia being or not being the same as Stellar's - impossible. Shinn disabled Stellar's Gaia, and Athrun took it aboard Minerva. Miverva=ZAFT. So Andy's Gaia can not be the same as Stellar's unit.
    I just wonder... what else Lacus manufactores on her lil asteroid factory...
    Strike Freedom, Justice rev. 2, 2 METEORs,3 DOMs, one custom-colored Gaia .. something else?
    TWO NUCLEAR Gundams! Just as it is! Why she does not rule all Earth sphere already with resources
    like that?

    Because being a ruler is over-rated. It is a lot more administrative/boring/repetitive then it is worth. For the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would bother taking over. I know that people have these big ideas of what they would do when they take over, but assuming they do get to do them, that usually lasts only a short time then you get into the rut of taking care of all the responsibilities of being in charge. Not taking over shows me a lot intelligence on Lacus' part.

    I'm pretty sure thats Erica, the person who help design and build Strike and the Astrays.
    Yep, thats Erica. She probably also helped design the Murasames. She is pretty much in charge of designing all of Orb's MSs.

    Do you even know who Lacus is and who her father was? Do you know about the Clyne Faction? Have you seen SEED? If you have then you should understand why that is not strange. If you haven't go do it right now.

    Lacus got immense wealth and contacts. The wealth is both from her father who obviously was loaded and herself who were once the Pop princess of PLANT and probably made insane amounts of money. The contacts is her father who started the Clyne Faction and Andy in general, they both were high up the ranks of ZAFT.

    Getting the tech, developing it and produce suits shouldn't be to big of a problem especially not when you know the Representative of ORB which can get you material, scientists and all the other necessary components to run the Clyne Faction.

    Terra, you are too quick to jump into your favourite Steamroller Gundam [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
    Chill down man [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

    First i do have seen SEED. As it goes i haven't completed watching only 2 Gundam shows - Double Zeta and Turn A. Double Zeta i could not stand those child antics at beginning, might complete it someday. Turn A is in progress - Hero Legends just completed subbing it. Okay, okay i admit that i haven't watched SEED compilation movies. Do they really add that much?

    If i remember correctly Siegel Clyne was branded traitor and shot by our very dear Patrick Zala. Doesn't "removing traitor" includes removing his connections and stripping his faction of power as well? But even that does not explains Lacus building NUCLEAR Gundams!
    They can obtain technology from ORB yes, but ORB does not have nuclear suits. As it stands only ZAFT created nuclear suits so far. Nuclear Jammer Cancellers were banned by Junius Treaty does that means Lacus&Co has access to their wery own nuclear storage? I guess just have accept fact that they do. Maybe Raww Le Creuset broadcasted Nuclear Jammer Canceller plans to just about everyone. Stolen could be widely available. Maybe for last showdowns we will see some nuclear Gundam on EA side as well.

    And what did they use to create Strike Freedom? (btw interesting name if i think about previous Gundam Kira used - Strike+Freedom=Strike Freedom)
    Remains of old Freedom? Did they ship torso up there? Or they created it from scratch?

    I really have a problem with this show - new Gundams are introduced very quickly and with practically zero explanation. They just appear. 12 Gundams total so far if Akatsuki counts. No show before had that much Gundams. Okay there is always G Gundam, maybe they decided to beat it? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
