Gundam 00 Season 2 Episode 10

[masamuneehs]

Best part of this episode was definitely Ali being baddass with Nena, then being so stoicly professional with Ribbons.

Yeah, it is so painfully obvious about Anew Returner... I mean, she already has the same hair color and almost the same face as that one Innovator in A-LAWs... You'd think that if they were going to trap us with an Innovator infiltrating CB, it wouldn't be a twin of one of the confirmed baddies...

Actually, that makes me wonder... Tieria has a twin, so does Anew, and this episode we got to see Bring take Setsuna to town.... But is it also possible that Ribbons has a twin out there somewhere? Could that possibly be the thing he instructed Ali to search for? That would open a huge new path for the plot to take...

Tieria... dude not divulging info... he's just setting himself up to get all angsty whenever Anew springs her trap. What a dolt. I expected more...

I also actually liked the conversation between Saji and Marie, even if it's painfully obvious that she's soon going to be piloting that Gun Archer (the translation was GN, but I'll be damned if they didn't say it like 'Gun')

One thing I like, and three things I don't:
1. Hallelujah is fucking back!

1. They better not fucking do Sergei like that...
2. Any and every scene involving Marina
3. Marie/Soma getting "Newtype flashes". good sweet god in heaven, I hate, hate, hate this Gundam tradition. It sorta had its place back in the UC timelines, to show how different and advanced Newtypes were (without even trying to be). But here it feels more like "we're going to try to add a layer of tension by having a good guy freak out about shit they couldn't possibly ever know". The thing I really didn't like was when Marie got a flash before Bring's attack, because it didn't happen to Al, and although there's clearly some connection between Innovators and Super Soldiers (Tieria's shower flash proved that), she's never reacted to an Innovator like that before. The rest, I suppose, is some lame shit about Sunny A Baoa Qu 2 using solar electric quantum space brain radiation blahblahblahblah waves.

So, the next time that thing fires... Hal goes away again? It also seemed like Marie switched back to Soma. I guess we were all wrong when we thought that those two's story line was finished...

While that's the easiest assumption, it's also possible she is genuinely Wang Liu Mei's puppet, trained by her alone in her backpocketses. She seems to be the person knowing the most in this series, so I have no doubt she knew about the innovators before most others and could have secured one for herself, well, one other in addition to Nena if she's of the same breed somehow as well. Also, I don't think Wang Liu Mei's in perfectly honest cooperation with Ribbons. Like Death13 said, Wang Liu Mei is the leader of the fast-forward button faction.

After reading some blogs I noticed there is a bit of talk about the moral issues of what A-LAWS has been doing that people are taking different sides on them. For my part I don't think it's justified to just unilaterally nuke a countries capital just because that country doesn't want to go along with your plan for essentially dissolving said countries sovereignty.

That's probably best left until the next ep since we haven't actually seen a single (real) reaction to the WMD use. Let's just hope there will be a reaction since there's no way in hell they would be able to hide what they did. The thing must have been visible for hundreds of kilometers not to mention a load of people in the space must have seen it by chance if looking at that direction.

Who knows they might find some bullshit reason to blame it on CB.
