nobody posted the Nyoro~n release yet?
Gundam00 - Episode 02 - Nyoro~n Fansubs

Well, I really am starting to not like the way they simply repeat shit about 'Celestial Being is going to stop war!' 'That's right, we're Celestial Being!' 'Piloting Gundam is what it means to be Celestial Being'.

Points of interest: Finally got a a breakdown of the political situation. I honestly found this the most interesting aspect of the episode. I particularly liked the Union president focusing on how CB has "taken over the role" of the international peacekeeper. Shows that although all CB's attacks have focused agains the HRL and the AEU sofar, they've done idealogical damage to the Union as well.

Sumeragi is not the old man, but the ship's captain? I'm confused... I thought they were referring to a man when they were talking about Sumeragi in the first episode... Perhaps the female captain is the daughter of some other guy?

The man who appeared on the video is over 200 years old? Yes, villain, villain, villain.

Strange... when was the last time a Gundam pilot owning a Haro unit wasn't the main character? I do like Lockon. And Setsuna is so due for a breakdown. Zoning out, failing to communicate with teammates, saying that he is Gundam... yeah, kid is due for breakdown...

Graham is win. So is Tieria (the crossdresser). I like his 'I look gay, but I'm the tough one' attitude. It's not what you'd expect from the feminine character. That one guy's counter of "You're the one saying I'm cowardly?" seemed, to me, to be a shot at Tieria's possibly hiding his sexuality. The action at Sri Lanka was good, and I was much satisfied to see the Gundams going for enemy cockpits and, all in all, killing the majority of their foes.

I also like Tieria because, so far, he's the most original of the Gundam pilots I've seen. Setsuna almost equals Heero Yuy. Hallelujah has Duo's religion motif and the habit of talking to his Gundam, but has the depressed stoic attitude of Trowa. Lockon is Duo's personality in Trowa's mech. Tieria acts the most like Wufei, or even a less hostile Yzak, but he's still pretty much his own character.

And it pretty much is established that the GN particles used for jamming are going to function alot like the Minovsky Particles from UC.

What failed about the episode: The hot Chinese chick talking like a broken record. The Gundams leaving their flagship up in space undefended. Hello? Where the fuck are the HRL's space forces? You guys should have followed them after the Pillar party, or at least tried to find where they launched from when they went to Sri Lanka...

The plot does set it up though, so that the 3 factions are focused on the Earth and defending their territory there, plus their respective Elevators. CB, especially with their name, seems to have really started up in space, and since neither faction has real control up there, it seems to have allowed them the time and room to mobilize as they appear now. Also lets them sortie from space quite easily.
