mayoraaseiThis week's episode is like a fruitcake made by a bakery very short on fruit. You have to dig through all the sweet but fluffy sponge to get to the goodies.
- We continue Sumeragi's flashback from last week, except longer and with audio. She was a prodigy student who graduated from - what looks like college - at age 17. She's a big fan of Mannequin's tactics, who was even more of a genius.
- Mannequin associates Sumeragi joining CB with Emilio's death, and considers Sumeragi's/CB's idealism silly.
- There's one country in the Middle East who's strong enough to stand up to A-LAWS, and Kataron decides to negotiate with them by releasing information (held by that country) through Kataron's network that would at least gain some bad press for A-LAWS, who is otherwise controlling the press. Ah propaganda. What is dictatorship without it.
- Marina continues to piss the hell out of me. True, they called Lacus hypocritical for supporting war efforts while being ideologically against war, but anything's better than standing there and waiting for someone to save Azadistan for her.
- A-LAWS figured out that CB is stationed somewhere near Lagrange 3. Some random Innovator is sent to attack them with a new MS, which Setsuna with Lockon's help drives off with difficulty. It not only manages to create a GN Field, but also has spiky claws too.
- Setsuna's losing focus because of Marina. Tieria's losing focus because of the Innovators.
- Kataron sends an envoy to negotiate with the Middle East kingdom.
- After docking in Lagrange 3, we get introduced to Ian's wife and a pretty girl named Anew, introduced by Wang Liumei to work for CB. Geez...what happened to those useful zapping brainwaves. Tieria didn't notice Anew is a Innovator? Orz
- Gundam 00 and Arios get upgrades, which allows the Twin Drives to synchronise beyond expectations.
- Nena meets Ali, and recognises him as her brothers' killer, but he overpowers her easily duh. They're both on the same side now, which makes for...fun.
- A-LAWS unveils what is essentially the Gundam 00 version of the Gundam SEED "Genesis" weapon. Located in space and aimed at the Middle East country, it wipes out the negotiations with Kataron. The shockwaves, as Sergei watches, sweeps towards where his troop is stationed, as up in space Marie screams for him to run for it.
- It's not given which one it is that causes everyone sensitive to brainwaves to go crazy - either the over-synchronisation of Gundam 00 or the use of Memento Mori - but Marie, Allelujah and Tieria all get reactions. Seriously...what's with the nekkid Tieria shower scene.
- The best part - the brainwave interference awakens HALLELUJAH. WOOHOO!!! Don't get me wrong, I ain't much of a fan of Hallelujah, but anything's better thanMr Romeo lovey dovey Allelujah at the moment. He needs to kick backsides!
Gundam 00 is sprouting more Innovators than new mobile suits at this rate, and they all look inexplicably indistinguishable from each other in spite of different hairstyles and uniforms and voices etc =__=
I don't think Sergei is dead at this point. It would be such a waste of a good, useful character.

But if innovators sent her over through liumei as a spy...I dont know how it helps them to make g00 stronger. (only to release pretty powders to awaken Halleluyah?? and others?) Other possibility is that Wang liu mei has access to innovators of her own...which is mind baffling ==

Yeah, Anew confuses me as well. If she's with the other Innovators surely Ribonze would be gloating already, unless the director thinks Anew being Innovator is some big secret we're not supposed to guess until the climax.
On the other hand, Tieria must have been recruited by someone - most likely Wang Liumei. Maybe Anew is much of the same? Maybe she has no idea of her background - or maybe she does, but isn't working with the other Innovators.
Wang Liumei must have some technological backing under her own use, considering that she's able to turn Nena half-Innovator (with those glowing eyes) without Ribonze or CB noticing. Maybe Anew works solely for Wang Liumei.
Honestly there are too many Innovators and I can't give a damn about any of them since we just know they're not going to last very long =__=
