like yukimura said: Lockon Stratos is a codename.

plus, Lockon has a twin. he's in the scene at Lockon's parents graves.

and, if it isn't the twin (which is really a pretty lame plot-twist anyway), then that shit is craptacular as hell. the only good part of how S1 ended was Lockon's death.

Ali will be back. Mark my words.

And, even though I'm glad that the other three are back (there's still alot more to do with them), I'm really dismayed about Hal not being around. A split personality character could be enough material for an entire 26 episode series, and I think that, aside from Hal being badass as hell, the entire Hal/Al split personality thing was really pretty weak.

i wonder if i'll be able to watch this show down in Kansai...
