I agree with that assessment. But I have long wondered if Eifman's discoveries in regards to "CB's agenda" were CB's actual agenda or just Corner's agenda.

The fact that he cut Ali's sword into four pieces, but didn't blow up Ali himself is a bit odd... There's still time for that at the start of the next episode, but I doubt it'll happen. The fact that the TRANSAM system was only activated after Schoenberg apparently died is why I suggested in an earlier e-mail that I doubt that the body was really Schoenberg. Instead, I'm of the opinion that it was a fake or trap meant to draw out possible enemies. If Schoenberg really did put himself into cold sleep, then I'm convinced that he's hidden somewhere else. I guess I've got a little more faith in Setsuna than you do. Not much, most likely, but a little more. For instance, I don't believe he'd blow up Azadistan if Schoenberg were to direct him to do so. Though Sumeragi might be able to convince him to. But the dream seems to suggest that Setsuna's humanity is slowly returning. And I wouldn't really be surprised if the storyline ended with a rejection of Schoenberg's overall plan. The mass deaths forecasted by Sumeragi (who indicated earlier that she isn't entirely comfortable with the deaths), coupled with the increasing callousness of Wang, seems to hint that Schoenberg's plan isn't necessarily a good thing. The need for Tieria to develop some humanity and independence of his own also seems to suggest to me that the tone of the story might move away from a blind adherence to Schoenberg's plan. Or at least that's my thinking. junior ---------[ Received Mail Content ]---------- Subject : Re: [gundam] Episode 22 *major spoilers* Date : Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:27:11 -0400 From : "Dr. Core" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : [email protected] I actually watched the sub on Sunday night. It's amazing how fast a good quality sub can come out. But blah. My concerns and complaints from all previous episodes are validated in Ep.22 At least we get some clarification now. Corner is the bad guy. (his deference to the Observers might have been deceptive (to the audience) or deceitful (to the Observers)) Aerolia is the good guy who's still neither completely dead nor really alive. Is the G00 ending going see the Second Coming of Aeolia Schenberg? Are the Seven Gundams the Seven Angels (Celestrial Beings) who pour seven vials of the wrath of God upon the Earth? You know I still found Corner and al Sarshe (who's clearly a Corner crony) to be relatively how to say, unhateful. I am less scared of them than Schenberg and Setsuna. Corner and al Sarshe are greedy, brutal (Ali) or power-hungry (Corner). Those are familiar villains, history is filled with them. They do their bad nasty things, some of them will get their just desert, some won't but no matter what, time will take their lives away, and the world will survive (and sadly will still see more of them being born). But with Schenberg, you don't know what really will happen. His God-like complex is freaking scary. And I am now getting rather concerned with Setsuna having this TransAm thing and presumably he can now cut down all 30 GN-X if his actually stays sane for 5 consecutive minutes. He is now quote-Gundam-unquote. He is Lord Schenberg's Angel of Wrath, oops sorry I mean Angel of Peace. Please I feel can trust Nena more than Setsuna. The Trinity are pawns (well now a lone pawn that ironically requires escort by a king, ok, Angel). Ok... actually all that's fine. I haven't started complaining yet, really. This whole sequence of Lasse broke into Level 7 and Corner shot a Schenberg rubber chicken just as Schenberg's boy-under is almost finished off by his personal archnemesis while trying to rescue the last of Croner's pawns who was also not-so-long-ago his other archnemeses (and enforced first-kisser) from that previous archnemesis who also happens to be Corner's crony carrying out Corner's order to kill off Corner's pawns so Corner can get Corner's toys back (or else!), but Schenberg having got his rubber chicken shot up now turn on boy-wonder's berserk mode and saves his life, but a boy's still a boy. He spent so much time playing with his Matrix-bullet-dodging moves that he forget there this wonderful chance to TAKE THAT FREAKING REVENGE ON ALI ALREADY. OK I admit I can be full of myself at times, but if I ever build a super weapon, I wouldn't wire up the activation switch to turn on if and when my grave is defiled. Oh wait, but wait, that's so megalomanical that no one could expect so it's actually a brilliant plan! Because whatever that's surprising is brilliant!
