Best case scenario for the Megaroad stuff is that it's set up for a new project. More likely it's just teasing us and that's ok. Worst case Megaroad 1 characters show up next episode in a spasm of fail and stupidity trying to fix a broken plot.

So for me the biggest elephant in the room is why didn't the NUN's fleet defold right on top of Ragna? And if something stopped that why didn't they imidiatly start vomiting foldbooster DE carrying fighters to do that. That fleet shouldn't have been in the cluster more than a minet or so before the first DE detonated.

Did my quick-viewing. Sit-down viewing will come later.

Guess I predicted the data recorder right.

Semi-speculation, semi-spoilers.

-HOLD ON AN 'EFFIN MOMENT. Turbulence where there was no turbulence. 2 bandits on an intercept course. Radio cuts off and it goes to remote. Does anyone else find this fishy? Windermerans keep saying "wind" in battle. Wright was found dead in the cockpit. Wright won't have dropped the MDE on a civilian population and NUNS had a specific target to drop the MDE. I'm sorry, but something still doesn't jive with this story.

And Mikumo is still rockin' the bondage restraints with Roid touching her hair like a creep now. EWWWWWW.....

To be fair Delta has excellent character design, and some rather interesting characters. Now they did nothing at all with them and that's the real rub.

Well no vote untill subs but I was giving the screen the Bird for the last ten minutes.

The whole discussion regarding the VF armor strength is where this breaks down for me. If the damn valks are so strong, how is it that they can be damaged with mere projectiles and missiles at all? You have these uber strong aircraft almost super aircraft that somehow are able to be damaged. THAT is where the bad writing is as far as I am concerned. Where is the peril? Where is risk? Why should we care if there is little risk to our heroes? Frontier presented this risk so much better than Delta has with adversaries far superior to our heroes' equipment AND they were adaptive.

I feel that is where one of the principal frustrations come from. When the Windies own Xaos it turns out they are better flyers and fighter pilots and the fact that the aircraft are uber, makes the dog fights a visual dance and not really a fight with consequences. I suspect they tried to present some peril by having the Windies being better pilots than the heroes, but the nullifying effect of uber aircraft muted the danger all together. To counter this, a "fold resonance" field has to be invented to create an artificial advantage.

Cheyenne destroids "should" be a useful part of an arsenal. They aren't the hero units, but certainly should have some role in the combined assets of any force and more than mere AA. As already pointed out, the PC felt the Zentradi needed ground attack units, so then there must have been a reason.

This penchant for making each generation of fighter superior beyond any reasonable margin is an escalation that cannot be sustained in any dramatic sense. This further supports Seto's comparison between Kawamori and Roddenberry.

The tech advancement is fine space war one stuff vs delta stuff is like comparing WW1 stuff to modern equipment. Destroids are obsolete because most of your defensive strength comes from your power supply so to have as much defence and firepower you need the same engines and so might as well spend the 30% pre whatever more and have the mobility or the VF.

Hell if the VF-31's are any indication the shuttle found it's own way home by the time they stopped for their picnic...... And now I'm picturing decepticons playing cards in the woods bitching about the stupid meat bags.

But was this actually on her, or did she put one (a spare?) on again when she got into the Valk?

Unless they gave her clothes identical to the outfit it was generating then she was still in the holo gear. I'm not sure if it's better or worse that they at least seemed to have caught the rocket panties. I guess I'll just be satisfied that Windemere is upholding the fine macross tradition of having horrible security.

Point on that they let Freyja into the presence of the king in a piece of military hardware with the juice to maintain the holographic protection and thermoregulate. Mind I seriously doubt any of the triangle know how to do it but those batteries have potential energy to make a fair bomb or taizer.

It's more how did they sneak past the windys and if they could do that on auto pilot why the he'll did they leave them behind?!?!

Honestly I was expecting Hyate to do his solo jump see the weepy girls start on their walk to the end only to have Hyate reapeer standing on the shoulder of the gerwalked 22. If course that was raw and expecting the passengers stuffed in the internal middle bays instead of having the legs cut off.

So you'd have Hyate on top them a shot of Arad with a big crap eating grin as he hoses the windys with the energy weapons. Wich the knights would superman dodge but would take out the mooks then the Gila jump on and in and they fly off to the sights under fire.

Honestly as goofy as the VF 22 being ready is the Sigfrieds just kinda showing up is what killed me. Why not let Arad catch them then rondevue with their planes.

Ah yes, because we all remember that happened, 11 episodes ago on a planet we haven't even seen since. Sigh.

Anyone want to bet that the next episode starts with everyone talking on the bridge of the Elysion?

I'd say about 40% chance of that 35% starts in The throneroom/bedroom 15% to the shrine of time 10% to anything else.

The real question is why would you remind the legs instead of say a missile bay. You don't want that much room extras room just gives you room to bounce under maneuvers.

So this episode many should have been next week. They could have put the gearing up for the final conflict we're gonna get next week, and put some more detail into the Roid, Mikumo situation. Then we could have an even bigger battle with the Elision showing up after the escape. Then end the episode on absolute HELL breaking loose when Mikumo summons the head of the Bird Humans big brother.

And the reasons for things happening were dumber than I thought.......

Because dual wealding energy knifes looks cool 😎

The chance of a display plane mounted on a plinth (i.e. a gate guard) being still flyable is next to none. First step would normally to be remove the engines and any sensitive avionics, rendering it unflyable

Saw a screenshot of Makina getting shot. Is she dead?

Lay-Line project command "It was you who broke my Mason plate".

Just creating a plane with the barier would be the most efficent way to do it since that could theoriticaly be a sub monimolecular blade. Basically they have knifes so that they don't have beam sabers.

Or they were using IR sensors as well and they just didn't bother showing us that on the Draken's control panel.

I'm still holding out hope for a genocide ending for Windermere. They refuse to learn a lesson and continue to push their ancient super weapon untill it explodes their planet the knights and Hienze can get their face turn sacrificing themselves to stop it dragging the rest of the galaxy to hell with them.

That might just come from the fact that I don't like how many superpowers they have.

The second Voldor infiltration should have happened episode 15 and the rest of the reveals should have been spaced out in an increasing level of distrust in Chaos as the team learns how much they've been holding back and what the did to Mikumo. That could have made the birthday episode the team recoalesing after slintering a little. Hell they could have even done the meal and snowball gags there with more people and time.

This show.... I don't think I've ever watched a show with so many good elements put together so poorly. It's a sea spider, jellyfish ,apple, and BBQ sauce smoothie.
