1. Yeah, Frontier was the end of a 3 month tour for her. 2. Pffft, we've been following the manga, You know, I never considered that Sterne may be a pilot for the Galaxy's private military contractors, a la SMS. That would explain the variable fighter he flies, and his Zentradi ears. 3. For Alto's sake, I hope this isn't referring to him. 4. Oh, nice shooting, Graham. Way to go.

Ok, who has the Hory Froating Head pics?

Something I just realized, the Varja don't bug out when Ranka screams in episode 2, the flee after Ozma kills the lead Lobster.

Something is not kosher about this talent "scout".

Yeah, pretty much. I'm fairly well convinced nothing that has happened or will happen is because of some sort of divine influence or intervention. It has all happened before, and it will all happen again. This is the work of man, but in my mind, the big question is are any of these people really human, as we are? Humans create Cylons, Cylons drive humans out, become humans. These humans create Cylons, the Cylons drive them out, and they become human, etc... This is how I've seen it for a while now. But as Katee Sackhoff said in a recent interview, they are getting to the end of the series, and just when you thought you had it all figured out, they throw you for a complete loop. We could all be WAY off base.

All of these things happened because he is a weak and pathetic human being. These are not things he set out to do. "The Tool of God" may be more like it, with an emphasis on "tool".

You do realize they've totally changed direction with this show more than once, right? They admitted early on they had no idea where they were going with things. I think in this case, you have fallen for the same ramblings from Baltar that Tory did. And we have discussed many times before about Moore and Co saying one thing, and then doing exactly the opposite. I always like to point to the "we won't destroy the Pegasus, just because everyone expects us to" stuff Moore was pushing for a while. Could the "mental break" line they've been toting forever be BS? Sure. But that's the only explanation we have right now. Personally, I don't want to give Baltar credit for anything. In my mind, there can be no greater end to his storyline when the final curtain comes down than him realizing he's a total fool, a coward, and in the end, really nothing special. He's nothing more than a weak and pathetic man.

Thank you, good sir.

Well, until we hear otherwise, I'm sticking with the official line on this. And I am 100% sure the Baltar/Tory scenes where meant to be taken as Tory looking for answers about her existence, and seeing more meaning in what Baltar was saying than was his actual intent. She is so moved because, wow, this guy understands me, he knows me, this all makes sense to me... when really it was just the usual rambling nonsense from Baltar.

Yes That he killed his wife isn't exactly a secret. I'd have to watch the scene again, but like Baltar and Tory, there is a good chance what she was talking about and what Tigh thought she was talking about are two different things.

Ranka has barely gotten any fanservice action, at all. Unless you count her Miss Macross swimsuit, they've been rather conservative with her. This is a very nice change to what they did with Mylene in 7.

What Baltar was talking about and what Tory thought he was talking about are two different things. We as the audience are supposed to understand this. Same as what I said above.

Says it all right there.

Fan service has its place in anime, and the amount you have (and they type) has to be balanced with the kind of anime it is. Macross is going to have some amount of fan service, but the idea is its a more mature show, it shouldn't be over the top. We have to give them some credit with Frontier, they have totally avoided throwing in a single upskirt shot. The boobage in Frontier is over the top for the kind of show it is and the franchise it is a part of. Its gratuitous. That is my complain with it.

Except they've stated several times that she is a result of a total mental break.

Yeah, we need officially sanctioned links to these songs.

Times have changed, and it does look like the SMS have their own New Macross class vessel. Not much of a stretch to think if they have something that powerful, they'd have access to nukes, as well.

You know, we haven't had an appearance by the Hory Froating Head in a while.

But Adama is already sitting at the table.

Stands With Fist speaks the truth. Let the dubs die.

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say we are all very grateful for your time and effort. If I had one request, though, it would be for accuracy over speed. I'll wait another day for a sub release if that means it allows the translator another viewing or two to get it right. Anywho, thanks again.

I think the 2D animation in Frontier is on par with say, Gurren Lagann, but clearly is not up to the quality of shows like Eureka Seven, Planetes, and Mushi-shi. It lacks even the consistency of quality of Haruhi Suzumiya. And while it has some character designs that I think are rather well done (Ranka, Sheryl, Alto, for instance), it also has some totally amateurish designs like Mikhail, Luca, and Leon. As a complete visual package, its nowhere close to Zero. However, I think its been exceptionally well directed, and the CG work is rather good. The show is just flat out good, but I for one am a little disappointed that the standard if quality on the 2D animation isn't something being pushed for a franchise like Macross.

I will say this, though, I think the show is very well directed. I also think the CG work is solid.

I disagree, I have to say I've been a bit disappointed, but I probably don't watch as many series as you guys do.

She thinks Alto has her earring, and .
