My thoughts on this episode:

Overall it was a good episode, it will fire up the Archangel squad (especially Athuran). Athuran is one pissed off dude, and he was an extreme bad ass in this episode. Kira wanted to get shot, he did nothing but act cool with a gun (he wasn't even cool to be honest). Meer dying sucks. I get the feeling that Athuran did have feelings for her, but as brother would a sister in a way or a real good friend. I believe Athuran needed this as well as everyone else to reafirm what they are fighting for and why they are fighting. As a result of this episode (and this is optimistic thinking), Kira and Athuran are probably not going to hold back in the finale.

Meryn looked pretty hot holding that gun.

Mwu/Neo and Ramius did a quickie, just like the old days.

Now on to Meer a little more in depth, she was a test subject for the Destiny plan, this is just a theory of mine from what I've seen throughout GSD. She fit a role that was to be hers, using her traits and abilities as a way to fit her into being Lacus. So I think the Chairman most likely tried out this Destiny crap on her first. Finally, Meer cannot spell sadly enough. If you look at the note she sends Lacus it says: I'm going to killed!" Tsk tsk tsk, someone forgot the "be" in there.

My thoughts on the upcoming episode:

IT'S A JOKE and an INSULT to the fans of GSD to have to watch even more flashbacks of this fucking show. I mean Meer is cool and all, but she's dead. So RIP, TEAR HERE AND THERE, and that should be it. I am hoping the flashbacks will consume no more than 10% of the episode. If not, I think for the final episode, Fukuda should include himself in the anime. Then, SF, IJ, Providence and Destiny all fuck him up one by one for the whole episode, ah that would be extreme pleasure! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
