I'm not sure what to think of the Andrei/Louise situation. His little love-at-first-sight moment just seemed really awkward and out of place. It got kind of creepy really fast when suddenly he feels the need to protect her on the battlefield. I guess it is due to the proximity to his father and her past that he never gave Soma the same treatment. While it certainly is misplaced, his sense of chivalry is touching...in a way.

At first I was fine with it, it was that whole grand rivalry thing Gundam series always do. But the way Graham is acting really pisses me off this season. It's perfectly understandable and fine in series like G Gundam which is all about one-on-one combat, or Wing or SEED or whatever where they don't really give a shit about tactics. Here, there has been a huge emphasis on tacticians, especially with Kati guessing Sumeragi is their strategist. No sensible commander would ever allow an individual unit to say the kind of shit Graham did this episode.

'Let me take care of [the 00] and do not interfere.' What the hell is that?! Kati should have told him to shut the fuck up and if "Mr. Bushido" is engaging the 00, but if A-LAWS Pilot 1258 has an open shot at the 00's exposed backside, they should be fully authorized and ordered to take the shot.

Screw Graham's whiny little bullshit personal vendeta to satisfy his overwhelmingly large ego.
