Gundam 00 Season 2 Episode 12

[Yukimura]

FINALLY!

Anyway since I mostly watch modern Gundam shows for stuff like quantum tunneling mobile suits, giant space lasers, and battles whose outcomes are decided by who is more OP/more loved by the writers I was quite pleased with this episode. Lots of people with inferior technology were pwned by other people with superior technology, everything is as I wanted it to be.

Now I suppose I could care about things like the character development Louise ->crazy denialphile, Saji->crazy emo, Setsuna->brick, Patrick->Trained Noob? or perhaps the morality issues like the use of giant space lasers against meat shielded military bases, or the targeting of civilian population centers for attacks for the purpose of dissuading what appears to be oppression by the government of said civilians. But all those concepts are annoying to think about and pretty gray anyway. I find I enjoy the show much more if I just don't worry about such things and allow myself to believe whatever Sunrise tells me I'm supposed to believe. A-LAWS is always chaotic evil and I should hate them, CB is always Lawful/Neutral Good and I should cheer for them, Kataron is Chaotic Neutral/Good and by association with CB I should feel sympathy for them and their allies. Using this conformist strategy I can cheer every time something good happens to CB, boo every time something bad is done by A-LAWS and when the inevitable A-LAWS destruction comes about, with Kataron's leaders rising to a strong position in the world government and the Gundams being sent into the sun I will be at reduced risk of having a stroke because of how utterly unreasonable it would all seem if I were to approach the plot realistically.
