Re: *More Spoilers* Episodes 1 and 2 was Re: [gundam] *SPOILERS!!!* Basic info on Episode 1

Most likely the Dominion (I think that was the name thrown around) nutjobs in Kurdistan bought their Battletech-style mobile suits from the HRA for their military, much as India (to pick a nation at random that has a large military) buys much of its equipment from Russia.  So far I've seen nothing to suggest that any of the three superpowers are any more religious than their modern-day counterparts (yes, I know that Bush is probably more devout than, say, Clinton was; but he generally doesn't use "God wanted me to do it" as a reason when publicly justifying policy decisions).   As for CB's motivations...   I'm currently waiting for the other shoe to drop on our would-be heroes.  So far we know nothing about CB other than the fact that they have a space-based mobile suit carrier, a male/female team acting as agents in the field, and a 200 year old guy as their public face.  The guy in the window is a huge question mark, and seemed just a little bit sinister to me.  I've got a sneaking suspicion that CB is a front using our idealistic protagonists (including both the "Gundam Meisters" and the carrier crew) to set up something else.  Presumeably that's still a long ways off, though.   One other stray item I noted.  The OP shows the Union ace, and it shows a silver-haired individual who is probably an HRA ace (along with the officer with the scarred face).  There wasn't an equivalent AEU character, however.     > 24 years old: qualifies more as an old hag than a girl.   *sigh*  Only in anime...   /rolleyes     junior   ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: *More Spoilers* Episodes 1 and 2 was Re: [gundam] *SPOILERS!!!* Basic info on Episode 1 Date : Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:59:16 -0400 From : "Dr. Core" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : list@gundam.com You're right! I forgot that bit. But those religious robots are later on the wrong side of the frontline with HRA (not sure if MS models are aligned with religion/ideology). So the three main powers are still relatively secular, perhaps? > As shown in episode 2, CB doesn't appear to have any issues with slaughtering everyone > on the battlefield regardless of who's fighting for what. Also, one of the comments at the > end of the episode (iirc, from an unfamiliar looking young man standing at a window) Who's clearly in the know within CB. So far everything CB says and does publicly and covertly are in the WTF? category but in such an over-the-top manner. The creators have dug themselves a deep hole in just two episodes, they may dig themselves out of it or it may become the biggest stink bomb in Gundam history, either way it's not to be missed! > I mentioned the unknown girl that Exia's emotionless pilot seems to be paired off with in I agree with Mark, sounds/looks like this lady: http://www.gundam00.net/character/06.html 24 years old: qualifies more as an old hag than a girl. Otherwise reminiscent of you-know-who in Wing.
