And why on earth did 19 vs 4, then 19 vs 3 fight turn out like this? The CB should have been wiped out in mere seconds. The defenseless ship in even less time. I mean, if all the defending Gundams were kept busy by a few clones, why didn't any of the UN forces sneak behind their back and aim a few well placed shots at the ship? Whoever planned this operation should have his ass kicked out of the military. Or perhaps it was a shitty operation simply because it was under the UN flag (nothing will change there in the future)...

Well, I'm sure there was something good in this episode but it wasn't the lack of Graham and Ali.
I absolutely believe Lagna was killed. He didn't seem crafty enough to be making the GN-X drives behind Alejandro's back. Alejandro (or Libbons) leaked them. The same way the Professor was. Well, Kinue was more of a anarchistic slasher (Ali), but still. All three got to close, or in Lagna's case, was already close. Alejandro seems very motivated to cut out any liabilities as soon as possible. The Professor when he would have interrupted the need for the delivery of the GN-X drives by his own discoveries, and even more specifically, whatever information he determined right at the end. All perfect moves on Alejandro's part. I fucking hate the guy for so many reasons, but if you're going to be ruthless and try to take control from behind the scenes, this is exactly how you should do it.

The only thing he didn't calculate was Sumeragi would come out of her alcoholic stupor quickly enough to create a backup plan. I suppose Alejandro can thank Nena and her brothers for that. They were aggressive enough around the other Meistars to make Sumeragi and Tieria suspicious.

It seems two operations have been involved for a long time. Aoelia Schenberg's original, well-intended plan, and the Corner family's ambition to take control of everything by betraying them. I wouldn't be surprised if Alejandro's family has been involved from the beginning of CB, and only now has found a viable method of exploiting their ambitions. That would of course be "his little angel" [*shivers*], Libbons. Who I am equally convinced approached Alejandro the same way the Corner family probably involved themselves with Aoelia Schenberg. Libbons will betray Alejandro later for his own twisted ambitions.

I'm all with you on the 19-4 fight. We know that the Meistars were not well trained, especially Setsuna. Maybe Hallelujah at best, being a Super Soldier. Well trained, equally equipped SOLDIERS should have annihilated them. I suppose they were being cautious, and rightfully so after the Gundams restarted and the muscled operator (for lack of a name right now) shows up in a fighter plane we never knew about.


I do get the feeling that Saji will want to wipe CB off the face of the earth and space. Kinue gone, Louise will never be the same ever again, all related to one organization. He can't be a pussy forever...

But maybe he'll take the Kinue approach and find out Schenberg's true intention as the Professor did.
