Personally I am hoping that the next episode will be better. This was a decent and funny one, but still not too good.

What I really want to see is Kira getting some more action. Well more precisely I want to see:
Random battle field:
Shinn looks at Freedom.
Shinn: You! You killed my family, I will kill you!! <add some dramatic music and scene>
Impulse goes for Freedom and try to slice it.
Shinn: DIE!
Freedom moves, bitchslaps Impulse, kick him in the back, and destroys Impulse's hands/legs/head.
Kira: *sigh* Seems like Zaft doesn't do the gundams like they used to. Well I better hurry and finish here, or else I will not bang Lacus tonight. She was going to use lingery again.
Meanwhile Shinn is crying and cursing the big, bad gundam.
Also Lunamaria starts thinking about getting a piece of Freedom's pilot tonight. (even if it is really a banana)
