Gundam 00 Episode 16

How about the girl and Setsuna? Maybe she is one of those "I love the sasuke type" sakura girls.

My question is how many are there 7 or 8 either one gundam is missing or virtue has 2 engines cause the observers said they only knew about 5 furnaces.

The 5th is probably their transport ship.

Yea, the original 5th has to be the ship itself, since it can also emit its own GN Particles. I think that the throne suits run from a completely different GN system. That explains the Red light instead of white/greenish light. It also explain why those suits completly pwn the original 4/5 (Im considering Nadaleeh its own suit since the model # is different from Virtue).

as i'm thinking about the introduction of "Gundam Throne", i find myself wondering if this new trio is going to become the clear "villain" trio. if so, what of the established antagonists in the series?

here's what i'm thinking...
Graham has been far too well developed in a non-villainous way to simply remain a villain. he's most likely going to end up siding with the original four "Meisters" (if all four survive the entire series). i tend to really compare him in attitude to a Mwu sort of character...
Patrick, being that he's sort of a twit and tends to get whomped repeatedly, will probably be kept around, though he's likely to fall even further into the background as a comic relief character.
Soma's a tough one. with her genetically engineered physiology and odd character background, it's tough to see her going "good guy" at any point, though i wouldn't completely dismiss it.
Ali... well, being that he is the quintessential badass villain character as yet, he's probably going to end up getting a vicious Gundam at some point (similar to Rau getting Providence late in SEED) and continue to wreak havoc on Setsuna's stoic persona... i could honestly see him being allied with Gundam Throne in some way as the story progresses...

needless to say, the introduction of Throne, along with the talk of there being a difference in ideologies between Throne and the original gang tells me that our original four are going to start questioning how legit Celestial Being is... most likely this rift is going to result in the big season one finale at episode 25...

just sayin.

then again, there could be a massive shuffle of allegiances... for example, we could see Setsuna, Lockon, Graham, Allelujah and Soma against the rest of the gang... know what i mean?

If the transport ship had a solar furnace of its own it would have no reason to require the gundams to return to space and recharge it. I'm pretty positive the 5th solar furnace belongs to another unknown gundam likely piloted by the UN guy who was holding the meeting of the observers. Note the Ship has only has released particles when a Gundam has been plugged into it it can't create them on its own and the Gundams must return to space to recharge it.

This episode was WAY better then I expected after hearing the term recap. I despise recap episodes but this one was quite good and actually one of the best episodes so far in the series non of the recap parts felt wasted in the slightest.
