What's going to happen this week. Thats' for us to find out and discuss. Please don't vote prematurely either. By my calculations this will be going up around 12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, so don't vote until the episode actually airs please. Looking forward to it nonetheless.

I hope Flag and Graham Acre rip Setsuna a new one until Lockon has to save his pansy ass.

I hope Graham won't be owned too badly :D

Well, the extended preview showed the Exia still in one piece against the HRL suit, anyways.

Wait, wtf? It sonly been like two episodes and nothing much has happened. Why does everyone say "I hope graham kills/owns/beats Setsuna"?

Whats wrong with him? Why do people hate him TWO EPISODES INTO THE SERIES!?!?

Well, as far as I know, the only one who really hates him right now is Demongod. It seems he's still stuck in his CE fanboy phase. :p

And I bet that picture of Setsuna shoving Kira out of the way in the Ridiculous images thread didn't help his opinion of Setsuna either. (go Setsuna! :D )

He's protagonist and Graham is (supposed) side character... Just look how popular Naruto is, people don't want a series with main character just pwning everyone.

Naruto is a bad example, there are more Sasuke and Itachi fanboys then Naruto fanboys :p

Here's some screens

If the main character were beaten this early, it'd show that the Gundams aren't invincible. I think many of us desire to see more of a realistic struggle than what we usually get with the battles. That's also the reason why there's so much discussion over grunt abilities and such. The SEED series really made a mockery out of many grunts and later, even major battles.

Based off of the preview from episode 2, it doesn't seem like the Exia is going to get trashed. However, we'll see it struggling against whatever that large suit was.

We still don't know how the Graham fight went. Maybe it was a draw or the other meisters had to bail Setsuna out before Graham did him in.

Fixed for ya :D

Well...

Who's the girl on the final picture? I always wondered about after having seen the opening.

The IRA was mentioned in the story, apparently, though not relevant to the main plot.

Today's main theme is

I don't know which side CB is taking, but since they kill everyone, it probably doesn't matter that much.

Oh, and accroding to 2chan, the High Mobility Terien is 6 times as fast. Eat that Char!:D

Question: How do you take a Gundam back to space?
Answer (in 00): Public transport!

No long-ish action sequences this week, but I thought this rounded out the characters/scenario a bit and helped set things up going ahead.

One thing I thought last week is that this series is like a "thinking man's Gundam with entertainment layed on top" - it still feels like that to me.

Aww...Isn't that sad? Graham lost. *Tosses a tissue box at Setsuna haters*

At least he was professional enough to know that he was outgunned and outclassed, remaing long enough only to complete his primary objective.

If this keeps up, perhaps the complications of world affair issues might make this all the more interesting rather than just seeing pink explosions and one suit owning an army of his weaker counterparts. :rolleyes:

LOL. I was right :D Setsuna wins!!!

So much for Exia owned by the Tieren High Mobility Type. Its arm is cut off the next moment :heh:

lots of interconnection today......pretty political i would say for this episode.....
