I'm back and still kicking. I expect that I'll be writing more in the coming weeks as my wife gets back to work and I get fewer hours at work. Boo-urns. Anyway, two episodes!
First and foremost: Come on. Really? Setuna recruits Lockon's brother, the brother looks very similar to Lockon, and then he also takes the codename of Lockon? That's just...lazy? It's something, anyway.
After New Lockon is recruited Setsuna spins my Miss Sumeragi's place, outs her to her friend as, basically, the entire reason that Celestial Being was as effective as it was four years ago, and takes her, more or less against her will, back to space where the others are waiting. Getting the band back together can be hard.
Anyway, When Setsuna gets there there's already a battle being waged at the mothership. Tieria's doing his best, but he's barely able to keep them at bay, let alone win. Setsuna bails out of the transport while it's still in space, and right into the cockpit of a new prototype gundam with two engines in it that they've been unable to get working. But Setsuna shouts at it and bangs on the coontrols enough to get it up and going, and he wins handily.
End episode. Next one. We're rescueing...Allelujah? I guess that looks right. Anyway, Allelujah has been held in a detention centre for the last four years and for whatever reason the information gets leaked to Celestial Being. Everyone gets all upity, and a rescue mission is launched. New Lockon is included even though he's never been in a mobile suit before. And he does well. Go figure.
What I want to know is: why did they even build a replacement gundam for Dynamis if they knew Lockon was dead? Wouldn't it be easier to build the sort of Gundam that the new pilot would be most efficient with than trying to force the replacement to be as good a sniper as Lockon was before he lost his eye?
I guess not. Anywho, plan succeeds, giant robot fights, things explode, Allelujah is rescued, and they have enough time to get the princess that Setsuna has a weird love-threaten dynamic with. Saji begins to understand that just because the Gundams did bring fighting to his doorstep and made him suffer, it doesn't mean that there wasn't fighting before they showed up. End of episode.
I'm Dave, and this has been your Virtual Reality Check.
