Ep.8 finished.  It's going downhill...

When the CB finished destroying those bases, I was rather surprised
that Wang Liu Mei didn't unfurl a banner of "Mission Accomplished".
Perhaps that's for next episode, for another Schenberg broadcast.

Ehh... yeah everyone's ancestors immigrated from Africa, what's your
point?  There are plenty of blondes in Spain.  Heck, there are
indigenous white peoples in Western China.

Never mind why, he's a little messed up in the head.  What's
consequence of leaking his id to Marina?  It ought to be extremely
serious.  Marina will use that information to her goals, noble or not.
 Just from her dialogs so far, you can guess she's interested to (a)
get some solar power, (b) settle the violence and political unrest,
(c) keep CB from intervention in her own country or get CB to
intervene in her own country.  Knowing the code name, alias,
ethnicity, physical appearance, approximate age and even his voice,
tone of speech and whereabout on a certain date/time is tremendously
useful.  The easiest lead is to trace the name Setsuna to his
residence in Tokyo.  Even the meek and none-too-bright Marina can
manage that.

Just from the biometrics of a single bomber, they brought down three
operation bases within hours.  And the investigation wasn't even
carried out by the omnipotent CB.  Leaking that much to Marina ought
to cause some serious problems to CB in a very short time frame.
Ok... there's a chance ep.9 preview is hinting at that.

But I'm more willing to bet that Marina will inexplicably keep
Setsuna's id to herself, not even consulting Shirin.    And ep. 9, 10
etc will just open up yet more story arcs.

The scene's utterly clumsy, like most of the episode, like most of the
series so far.
