Dullindal is trying to eliminate the resistance. He's trying to create a unified body. Instead of all these little factions here and there, he's trying to united it all under 1 banner. The problem is, it's 1 banner under ZAFT. Instead of unified body made up of individual countries. Instead of making a Galatic Republic, it's becoming a Galactic Empire. He's doing it via a well concieved plan. Turn every one against the strongest faction, then gain control of everything without lifting a finger (no resistance). As a senator from Naboo said, "So this is how democracy ends, with a thunderous applause". What will happen is, he will declare AA as part of LOGOS, i.e. the resistance. A ZAFT force including Minerva will be sent to "silence" the resistance. Someone on AnimeSuki mentioned that Dullindal is making Minerva into Archangel, the "Champions of Peace and Justice". This is a very good point. This is why he editted them out. He's making it look like Impulse and Minerva came in and stopped Destroy when it was actually Freedom and Archangel who saved lots of lives and stopped Destroy. ZAFT couldn't even touch Destroy and they were only there to clean-up the mess. And what better way to become the champions than to erase the true one. He already created his own Lacus. Shinn believes Freedom is a loose cannon, which is bull. He wants revenge. Athrun sees the hate in Shinn's eyes. Shinn and Rey both admit that Freedom is too powerful (wait till they see IJ and SF....). Rey seems to be feeding that hate by agreeing with Shinn and saying that Freedom is not ZAFT so it should be controlled. Heck, Rey even mentioned Heine (who died by Stellar's hand). Looks like the Sith apprentice is making his own apprentice.... People are saying it should be Athrun who fight's Shinn in the end, not Kira. I like that idea. Maybe then the brat will get his ass out of his head. I would love it if Athrun uses all the beam blades of I-Justice and pulls a Kira on Destiny-ala-Saviour. Concerning Mu/Neo... I think having someone fire their positron gun at Archangel should jog some memory. No phsycologist or any record of Mu is going to help him. Trama and 2 years of no contact with anybody from the 3-Ships Alliance...this is gonna take time. Someone posted another synopsis of Episode 34 with something interesting in there to explain why Cagalli jumped (spoilers, highlight to read):

Here are some more alternate synopsis for ep. 34 and 35 from AnimeSuki. (Spoilers, highlight to view)

Yeah he was hitting himself. And the shock of your apprentice turning on you is probably enough. Heck, all of his previous apprentices were whacked by Jedis... I call it 20 years of guilt and denial.... Luke never knew his mother so there was no attachment. And Luke had accepted that Vader wan't a monster but a lost soul. So I don't know if any of that would have worked. The alternative was to use his friends.

They were not levitating. Those were the worker platforms (i.e. platforms with repulsarlifts). Obi-wan was on a worker platform, Anakin on a droid. This is why they were able to float upstream on the lava. Much of it was Sith overconfidence so I won't think about it too much. But if we must.... If he floats it farther upstream, Obi-wan makes a get away. If he floats the platform higher, the platform becomes a liability. Obi-wan can cut it down or he can jump on it and land hard to throw the weight off. Obi-wan was at an advantage at the high ground. edit: I'm sure Obi-wan knew that Anakin would follow him. Unlike Darth Maul, Obi-wan really wasn't taunting him, just telling Anakin, whatever you do, you are at a disadvantage so don't do it.

Flying would probably take too much concentration. Levitating themselves would probably fall under flying, i.e. too much concentration. This is probably why they just jump. Also, if your not aware of your surroundings, you might levitate into a ceiling and hit your head, making you lose concentration and well...down you go.

SW universe? What about our universe??? And Vader has done pretty good. He jumped off stairs (low risers too) and landed on his feet, 10... 15 ft to the ground in Empire. Then Luke forced him off the platform that was maybe... 20 ft high and he came up standing. Then in RotJ, Luke kicked him down another set of stairs and he got back up. Vader was doing pretty good as a quadruple amputee with an iron lung all those times.

What might happen is...(spoilers, highlight to read) Legend is intended for Athrun. However, once Athrun defects, Legend goes to Rey. This way, Athrun can get I-Justice.

Oh those Tomino fanboys (even the UC fanboys)....They're so cute when they talk about how those worlds are better. Here are some tidbits, this morning from Flets' SEED site (thanks to the guys at AnimeSuki for the translation).

Speaking of Stealth threads... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15085 (thankfully it was closed 15 minutes after it was created) It's only less than a week since the last one was closed and then someone else makes one. I think it might be better if the mods just delete any new Stealth thread.

So what's the deal with Morgan (Gunbarrel Dagger pilot)? That's the Astray mangas. I don't think Fukada touches Astray. I think he confines himself to just the anime. If he didn't then we'd have Prayer, Canard, Ed the Ripper and a whole bunch of other people to deal with. Heck, in SEED, we only saw Re H.O.M.E. once.

Simply....we don't know. I thought about this exact same thing when Seed was on. But since it was never detailed, I let it remain a mystery. Since you have to factor in the SEED factor (which could lead to Newtype-ism) this becomes questionable. So I left it as the mystery it is. Technically, it is still a fight between Coordinators and Naturals on the whole. Only Mu/Neo, Le Crueset, Rey and Kira exhibit Newtype traits. But even Kira is still in it's early stages. The fight is really just those people as oppose to everybody. In the UC timeline, Newtypes were all over the place. In SEED, it's just those guys. In the end, just to stay consistent, these guys should only be fighting each other. Also in SEED, Mu and Le Crueset are the only known/last Newtypes so I don't see why they should go into explaining that mess. Those will come in Gundam Seed DD and Athrun's Counterattack.

In fact, if Kira didn't go for the weapons, Stellar would have been Nicol'ed. Shinn should be happy he has a body to bury. Shinn will only think "Stellar is dead. Freedom killed her. Freedom must be pwn'ed." Someone has to tell Shinn that killing Freedom doesn't take away the pain of losing family and your girl. And as I see it, Shinn needs to have his ass kicked like Saviour. Someone like that who thinks like that needs to be taught a lesson, the hard way. Concerning EA...I already gave up on them. The enemy now looks like ZAFT. Considering Dullindal is acting like a certain Dark Lord of the Sith and Shinn is acting like a certain apprentice to that dark lord.... Concerning Mu/Neo and Murrue....This one, I hope ends happily. Murrue has a second chance with the man who makes the impossible possible. As for a Gundam for Neo/Mu....I think he'll take Andy's Murasame, but he needs his own Gundam. Preferably, something with gunbarrels, or Lacus can steal the specs for a DRAGOON system, give it to ORB, and have them build Mu/Neo a special Gundam...Or just recycle Freedom and give it to Mu/Neo. Would you believe they built their own Freedom? I think you should read Destiny Astray... EGX-00 Testament Gundam

I think Liam Nesson was suppose to do a voice over. He would have been doing "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Batman Begins" at the time so there's no way they can call him off set. However they could have sent out few people to do a voice over. Voice overs are easy. Heck, they did James Earl Jones' lines in a day. Just give him that 1 page of lines and your done.

Everytime someone says this a group delays it 1 more hour. Point of this? It will come out when it comes out. I have seen it come out subbed as early as Sunday or as late as Thursday. It will come when it comes. If you really can't wait, watch it raw or with Chinese subs.

WETA is still doing design sketches. So far, there are no studios that have shown a commitment. http://www.wetaworkshop.co.nz/projects/fil...lm/neon_genesis

I don't know if you can say Shinn caused the death of all those civilians. That's a stretch, a rational stretch but a stretch, nonetheless. The fault really goes back to Stellar. Shinn should have realized Stellar was a weapon. He's not to blame for seeing the human side and being compassionate. But the part that didn't click for Shinn was the realization that Stellar is weapon. She stopped being a victim long ago. He just sees his girl. He doesn't realize what Stellar was in the eyes of the enemy. Shinn may or may not have been responsible for the death of civilians, but the point is, he was responsible for Stellar.

You could have just borrowed the Plamodel thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=7455

The best comparison fro Kira vs Stellar is Freedom vs. Gaia. And we know what happened there. I'm gonna write this episode to plot. It really serves the plot so there are a bunch of problems. Beyond that, meh. But to indulge myself...Freedom was doing a hit-and-evade tactic. Then he had to deal with Chaos and Neo. Shinn just went straight in. He didn't have to deal with Sting or Neo. Edit:. flets.gundam-seed.net has the listing up for next week's episode (Spoilers, translated from Seed-Forums): My earlier statement remains. Revenge isn't the answer. Shinn is shares the fault of Stellar's fate just as much as Kira does and Neo/EA do. The problem is, he doesn't see it. He does think ahead nor does he reflect/analyze what he does. Oh well.... And it looks like one of those crazy Chinese rumors was true, either that or he's really faking it...

I would also like to see an extended cut. Lucas did mention that the focus needed to stay on Anakin (mentioned in the Ep. 3 easter eggs on the official site) and, in a sense, I'm gonna have to agree. But it would have been nice if we had all of those scenes in there to flesh out the other characters.

You really can't compare anything to Stellar when she's in Destroy. Destroy leveled 3 cities on it's own. That thing is also quite big and has lots of barrels... Cagalli was on street level blocking civilians for Destroy's attacks. So I don't think this round counts. Also...Shinn you're so misguided...I bet he's gonna blame Freedom for all of his problems. The only thing in his mind is vengence. (I only say this because Kira is only gonna cause him more problems in S-Freedom, and Athrun in I-Justice). I bet he's gonna mention his family (not Kira's fault, they were caught in a crossfire), Heine (not Kira's fault, Heine should have been paying attention), and then Stellar (not Kira's fault, Shinn was the one who gave her back to EA in the first place, thereby condemning her to her fate). If it wasn't for Kira, Destroy would have made Shinn as toasty as Anakin. And the girl is a psycho, Kira did everybody a favor by taking her out. But, most likely, Shinn won't see it that way. I only say this because I know what's going to happen and with S-Freedom and I-Justice coming, it's not hard to see. Athrun warned Shinn and he didn't listen. Now look where we are. Take a wild guess on how Kira knows it's Mu.... Actually, they've been using the beam-saber-blocks-beams since SEED...Kira seems to be the only one who's crazy enough to do it.

Did I not say those Murasame pilots were good? They did a number on Minerva and now they took out Chaos. Even Kira diabled Chaos in 1 stroke. Athrun just isn't in his groove and he faced him twice? It was an example for what it was worth. But take for example, Minerva on Earth. Archangel in GS had a point when they were on Earth; get to Alaska. Minerva is just hooping around from base to base without any real purpose in mind. Hence, this arc is being dragged out. But that's 1 possible reason for GSD's low ratings.

Six? More like two. Yeah that's right. I'm thinking of the gap between ZZ to V (which was 6). F91 was suppose to fill that gap but never made it.

I think when you hit the 2000-2500 posts mark, you can place a bid for your custom member title if you want one. Then a few people on the board can come up with your custom title. If you don't want one, don't ask for it, but the option remains for you to have a custom title since you've posted so much. Let's say I hit 2000 posts but I don't want a custom title and I don't ask for it. Fine, no problem. Later when I hit 3000, I finally decide that I want a custom title. I then throw my name in the bag for one and other people get to decide.

F-91 was supposed to be the pilot for a TV series that just never happened. Umm....F91 wasn't really a pilot. It's actually the combination of the first 12...13 scripts of the TV series. F91 was suppose to be a 50+ episode series. But something happened during the pre-production and work stopped. Everything was retooled to fit into a movie format. The hope would have been to make a TV series out of it. But that's all it was, a hope. It took 6 years to bring back Gundam to the TV screen.
