in SDFM it is clearly stated how Roy get's all jumpy on the new OTEC developed fighter, and then dissapears from South Ataria Island for a few months, which would be the events of Macross Zero, and how when he comes back he comes to Claudia under the pouring rain and confides with her his true feelings, you could assume that the death of the blonde doctor gave Roy a wake up call and decided to turn to Claudia; and I could understand why they kept this Top Secret, I mean, the UN and the AUN got their asses handed out by a giant flower!! HAHAHA!!
anyway, back on topic, Macross Zero made some terrible jumps between episodes, things I didn't get from the jumping between episodes...
how did Nora find shin and Sara so quickly after they both ejected?
what the hell happened to Edgar?
how did those reinforcement got so quickly to Nora without the Asuka noticing them?
what the hell happened to Edgar?
in episode 3, after roy ejects the reactive armor, he shoots Ivanov and gets his gunpod and goes in pursuits of him, later we see roy refueling and getting a gunpod? why? he didn't lost his, and Ivanov comes out of nowhere fully loaded? when did he evade Roy and reloaded and got a new gunpod?
what the hell happened to Edgar?
other things like how we see Shin destroy every valk he uses and keeps getting a different one, but Nora lost her SV-51 and later got hers again?
what the hell happened with the cliffhanger of episode 4?? why so much drama, Sara screaming, the island getting napalmed and in episode 5 in 20sec we just get showned how they extracted the AFOS head and Shin, Roy and their dames getting heloed to the asuka... and did I mentioned Edgar?
oh man so many question... I'll stop now...
