The best part about the episode were Itami feeling up Rory's breast and keeping a straight face, AND still getting hit for it, AND keeping the damage realistically. It was an excellent satire/twist to the usual boob rubbing scene.

The JillSDF girl looked pretty cool, but all of that fighting just seems irrelevant in the larger picture. I don't get if this show wants to promote or degrade the value of human lives. It explicitly tries the former but ends up doing the latter.
