Ok, I've finally watched eps. 5 & 6. Not bad. I suppose Schulz getting another shot at the Yamato will have to wait.

Interesting that the Reflex Gun's primary function was made into the creator of the meteor bombs. It must mean that it injects radioactivity into whatever it hits (and I can only assume the Yamato's shields countered said radioactivity).

I hope something interesting is made of the racism thing. Otherwise it would've been better to just give Schulz and co. blue skin.

If Rei does indeed become part of a love triangle, I hope she gives Yuki a run for her money, even given the foregone conclusion. Otherwise it's just another love triangle for its own sake.

I'm looking forward to the next ep. The original was one of my favorites, and frankly I hope characterization in general goes deeper this time around, even if this is far from a character driven series.
