>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Corner upsetting the plan - maybe, maybe not. It wouldn't completely surprise me if when Ribbon gets to the final layer of Veda, a personalized message to the Corner family from Aeolia Schoenberg pops up and mocks Alejandro for making sure that the plan continued on as expected. :P >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That would be awesome. But I agree with you that it probably won't play out that way. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> In the dialogue I had, Alejandro told Ribbon that the Solar Furnaces really did need to be destroyed, because with them CB would eventually rise again. Shutting the Gundams down appears to have been Corner's way of ensuring that the Gundams didn't pull off a miracle or make a run for it at the last second, saving their precious furnaces for CB. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Maybe they will end up being a power source for the world in the event that the Solar Array comes down. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I didn't see Corner or Ribbon mention the HRL. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I was watching the Nyrono Sub for what it is worth. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Regarding the Trinities - two of them appear to be rather impulsive and emotional, but it also seems clear that one of them (the tall dark-skinned one - Johann?) is a pretty good strategist and realized quite quickly that they'd been setup. I'm guessing that the team as a whole wasn't recruited for its long-range tactical thinking (that sort of thing might interfere with the eventual betrayal of the team), but the team leader ended up with those traits anyway as a result of the basic skills that he'd need to lead the team. The episode preview also seemed to suggest to me that he's going to die in the next episode (due to a scene showing only the other two Trinities out in the desert, a scene showing him facing down an HRL attack, and Nene looking upset about something outside her cockpit), and that the Trinities will be attempting to hook up with Wang. >>>>>>>>>>> I agree that they are hooking up with Wang. If Johann dies it will weaken them significantly since he pilots the Eins with the BFG. We've never seen the other Thrones link up with each other. They only link to the Eins. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The mysterious GN Particles render sensors inoperative. That's how the GN-X mobile suit team got so close to Ptolemais without being detected. But Ptolemais did detect them eventually (and it detected the individual mobile suits, not merely that there were GN Particles interfering with the sensors). How did it do this? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Since they have been able to track any of the Gundams since day one I think they have a system that isn't blocked by the particles. For that matter since their ship is powered by GN Particles they wouldn't be able to track anything if they hadn't found a system that wasn't shut down by the particles. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We were told that 19 mobile suits attacked the Ptolemais. Presumeably each superpower got 10 each, and the mission was a joint operation between the AEU and Union. Where was the 20th? >>>>>>>>>>>>> I wondered the same thing. I didn't remember seeing any destroyed before this episode. It could be that the one that wasn't sent out was the one they wanted Graham to pilot. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Setsuna had an unusual dream in which he's back in the razed city with his assault rifle, and Marina Ismail arrives to show him a growing flower and tell him that he can stop fighting (she also calls him by his real name). Given that it was more than Marina merely showing up and saying, "Setsuna, you're my hero," I'm guessing that there's a deeper import to this. If I had to, I'd hazard a guess that it's to show that Setsuna is beginning to realize that there are things of value in this life.. Up until now, the only thing that he's attached any value to is his Gundam, Exia. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It at least starts to set up a plausible relationship between the two. -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
