Radd Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 He's a military man, a fighter pilot, just like she was. He's by the book, straight laced, he's the straight man. He has pretty much all the qualities a parent would want in their daughter's choice of men. He's not some wild partier, some gung-ho hothead, and he's most definitely not a rockstar.

Blaine23 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 (edited) He's a military man, a fighter pilot, just like she was. He's by the book, straight laced, he's the straight man.

I think you pretty much hit it on the head there in the first sentence. Gamlin is an awful lot like Millia - a good pilot, dutiful, loyal, stiff... somewhat unimaginative and alien, really. I think Millia is just being her typical control-freak self (as she is portrayed in M7) by trying to arrange a marriage to someone suitable - ie, someone like herself. Mylene's running around with a rock band at a very impressionable age... Millia's just trying to get control and ensure that her daughter turn out "normal."

RichterX Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Probably Mylene's sisters have married punks or are still single (like Emilia) so she wants to get Mylene making grandchildren ASAP Just see how Gamlin behave he is just a good boy...

Beware of Blast Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I'm just thinking like a parent on this one... Millia's daughters are everywhere in the galaxy, and Mylene might become just like them. A marriage to a fellow citizen of the City 7 like Gamlin, can allow Mylene to be as ambitious as her sisters, while ensuring that she's anchored to the family. Difficult family reunion because of extreme distance and erratic schedule maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impreszive Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I hated how Millia was prtrayed. This chick was a damnable warrior for crying out loud!

Beware of Blast Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 To keep her from being interested in that singing twat Gamlin was then replaced by that singing twat as the better, ideal suitor. Bottom line is, the Jenius nest is getting empty. Millia or Max is about to set it on fiyaa! Having Mylene around is a way to stop it.

For the 6 other girls, she was out there fighting all the time and she probably couldn't spend as much time then as she could now for Mylene. For Mylene, she's right there. And I don't think Millia has any grand-children from the other 6. You know, the clock is ticking and she ain't gettin any younger. It's time for the girls to get movin. Papa Jenius is all used up.

Actually, Papa Jenius ain't all used up like you have said... according to some doujinshi me read. All he needs are more competence from his colleagues so he can spend more time with Mama Jenius. Same goes for Mama Jenius' colleagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zentrandude Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 fleet defence using a vf-11 would be considered non-return mission only prob is gamlin is too good and survived like the one ep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanpang Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 The funny part of that series, was that initially Millia has encouraged Gamlin to court Mylene but towards the end of the series, Millia was encouraging Mylene to go aftter Basara (If I remembered it correctly). I think Millia was off her rockers by that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effect Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I always saw it as Mylene liked both Basara and Gamlin, each for different reasons. Gamlin liked Mylene. Basara was in love with his music and basicly just appreciated Mylene's singing and thought her as a friend. I don't see Basara interested in her outside of that.
