    Remember how pissed Tieria was after H/Allelujah saved the space module? He wasn't angry that Allelujah used Kyrios to save the people (though a little bit at that), but he was really angry that Lockon had to help, thus revealing that Dynames could shoot shit out of space from the ground. Tieria is by far the most disciplined and fervent of the Meistars. He hates being on the ground, is very strict on policy, and so far, hasn't gotten out of line.

    I'm sure Virtue, being the big fatty, has something really strong hidden. If the super beam cannon is the weapon Tieria is willing to expose.


    @Buffalobiian: Guess it didn't work in the end. It may be that having replies at all prevents you from editing the actual thread title.

    Ryll's point makes so much sense that it's fully convinced me Tieria's Gundam will have funnels. I never liked the inclusion of Funnels (or Bits or Dragoons or whatever you want to call them) in Gundam, because it usually takes some of the amazement out of watching a fight and just adds more flashy lasers and explosions. I mean, when you can attack from 5+ free-floating points, it makes getting out of jams too easy... I'd rather see strategy...

    Also, I was pretty sure Sumeragi's "incident" was a bad one all the way through, mostly from facial expressions and tones used when people talked about it. I'm wondering if Alejandro Corner was involved and if that marked Sumeragi's breaking point with the Union...

    More Haro's... I don't like that. One is enough for comic relief.

    So some wild thought came to my mind. Saji's girlfriend is pretty stupid and flaky and all that. But this episode confirmed something about her and gave us new information. First, we learned that her mother has ins with EAU politicians, or at least one of them. Second, it's confirmed that Louise is the kind of girl who dreams of "the knight in shining armor coming to her rescue", or at least wants to be with a guy who is all about protecting her and standing up for his manliness (when it suits her interests)

    So, combine those two and I think Louise's mother's political involvement is going to get her caught up in some terrorist / hostage crisis, which she'll be saved from by one of the Gundam pilots who she'll then fall in love with. Saji seems more and more to be leaning against CB and their agenda, so it might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back for her to go gaga for one of their guys...

    Or Louise might take advantage of Saji and his sister to get info / get close to CB, considering the guy is completely pussy-whipped despite them probably not having sex yet...

    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".

    I didn't even give what Louise's mother said a second thought. Very observant. She's already been involved in one crisis, one Soma caused, and then her near proximity to the terrorist bombings...Louise is probably a magnet for terrorists, and now there is a reason for it. She's not just the daughter of someone with ins to the AEU, we already know she's a very wealthy ojou-sama. Kidnapping seems almost definite now.

    I'm not convinced of seeing her rescued by a CB member yet. Unless it is one of the moron operators. Tieria wouldn't give a shit, Lockon has Felt ( ^_^ ), and Setsuna...is at least connected to Marina. That doesn't leave H/Allelujah out of the question though. Though he's got a connection to Soma already (at least in how they were created), Hallelujah is enough of an asshole to appease her overbearing personality, and Allelujah is already her "knight in shining armor."

    I've accepted that fact.


    Any affection for her is more a 'cute' thing than anything else. She satisfies the moe requirement this season. Look who you compare her to aboard the ship.
