okay episode.

Can someone tell me what was going on with the Haros? Seriously, Lockon's unit was fucking bleating out to his "brother" about "your memories" and nobody, nobody, nobody goes and looks into it! Come on people! That was one of the most awkwardly comic moments I've seen in a mecha show.

Jupiter.
Bad people come from Jupiter. It's also associated in my head with Zeus / Jupiter, the supposed "king of the Gods" and then that's where the Thrones of Celestial Being have their roots... Not a good sign. More plot via Haros.

Alejandro Corner's creepiness is confirmed. Livonze looks more and more to me like an 11th hour- out of the blue- late series plot twist...

Overflags are cool. Fucking old scientist guy dying without telling anyone about the connection to the Jupiter project really puts the odus on Sagi's reporter sister. The Union, as Kraco said, better retaliate with some serious shit.

Throne psycho Mihael is getting on my nerves, even though I did laugh when he made that crack about Tieria. But, still, that's something you just don't say, because it is a guy. Well, sorta. Half a guy? I really don't want to think about it.

Did anyone catch Throne leader Johan wearing short shorts in one scene, or was that just some funky part of his uniform that he had on?

Nena's only good scene was when she got mad at Setsuna and threatened him. that was good stuff. Otherwise she's forgetable big tittied, up-beat, sugary sweet looking but don't forget she's probably evil, anime stereotype. However, she might have the both-gender-sickness too (or just be another plot device enhanced human), because Tieria implied she shouldn't have been able to get into Veda's terminal like that...

Sumeragi is a dumb bitch.
You do not let someone you don't know just walk around your ship. You send someone with them as an escort. Goddamnit you stupid bitch, even Nena was smart enough to make a beeline for the Ptolemy's Veda terminal and probably rape you dry for info while the Thrones gave them hardly anything in the way of information.
