One thing I did notice: Akira is now standing under the tree with the others in the ending sequence.

Is that Toa in a bubble, or another dragon? Hmm....

Looks like someone with shorter hair.

But then the Flight deck crew and anyone else on board would have died. I can't see Jin doing that given a choice. It's not unlikely Jin actually knows some or all of the flight crew as collegues of his father.

Though it does point out that Kazuki was being useless. I was expecting Liner to have him and either Gio or Widow get involved after the JA decoyed him off. As it was he appears perfectly willing to burn up on reentry.

Obviously even with Sakaki backing him up Liner doesn't think he's useful enough to keep informed.

Jin got over his issues quickly, which was good. Yeah, realistically someone would not forgive that easily, but I'd rather all this be over with quickly and start getting back into the real story. Toa being sorry and Jin being upset would just be boring. Being captured again didn't actually bother me much. I chalk it up to they didn't want to be separated from Toa and I imagine soon they will start working together. Though doing what I don' t know.

I had to LOL @ Kazuki once again. He just got his dumb ass saved by Jin and he whines about it. He's so ridiculous.

Spoiler:

Gio has been a better friend since he hatched than Kazuki.

I'm not sure Jin's over his issues with the shuttle crash so much as being willing to forgive Toa. I'd think that it still going to cause friction until there is more of an explaination as to what happend.

As for Kazuki. It is like he realised that he could have been a hero this week but didn't think of it until afterwards. It would have been easier for him and Widow to find an Airlock and EVA than for Gio to break both him and Jin free, snap Jin out of depression and EVA.
