I'm back, folks! First chance I've had in a little while to really watch anything worth writing about. First episode of the new season. This episode felt a little weird. Maybe it's because the last few episodes of this have been so packed with crazy. Hard to say. Anyway, it's four years after the massacre of the Celestial Being operational crew. Saji, who has had everyone he cares about taken away from him because the Gundams existed, but befriended Setsuna as his idendity as the pilot of Exia was kept secret. Anyway, Saji has fulfilled his dream of going into space. He's a glorified forklift operator, from the looks of it. Anyway, his supervisor is arrested for being a rebel against the government. Saji is taken too. Guilty by association.
Setsuna breaks into the work camp that Saji is being held at (by accident. Setsuna didn't know he was there. He was there to give the government a bloody nose), and saves him from being the victim of a military weapons test. They escape the facility on Exia (who clearly hasn't been repaired at all in the last four years. Still missing an arm and half its face), they get into trouble as Exia is outdated tech, and an old comrade of Setsuna's whose name slips my mind comes to the rescue in a brand new model of Gundam. Once everyone is safe Saji flips out. The episode closes with one of the government's mobile suit's pilots revealing herself to be Louise, Saji's paramour. :O
It definitely feels different from the first half of the series, but I'm hoping things will get back into the swing of things shortly.
I'm Dave, and this has been your virtual reality check.
