Iok really is the culmination of everything that's wrong with the current rotten GH, and this is not even an exaggeration.
We can't be sure he's dead yet either, because we didn't see if Hammerhead destroyed the bridge of his ship or just damaged it further. Goddamit.
Julietta is such an idiot. Her desperate lust for power is driving her mad. If she doesn't realize anything in the wake of Amida's sacrifice and seeing how repulsive Iok is, she'll end up the same as Ein, for sure.

The thing is, I think that she does know that what a piece of crap he is, but she's so consumed with her own obsession that she no longer cares about whatever he's doing as long as it serves her quest to become stronger.
A quest that she's failing seeing as Amida was able to hold up pretty well against her in a pretty old suit at that. As much as I loved Amida, she would have never lasted against Mika going all out. If Julietta wants to get to Mika level, she's got a long way to go.
As for Iok, on one hand, somehow despite his idiocy, his plan actually succeded. However, considering all the war crimes he commited in doing it, cancels out all that and in fact puts him in the negative zone. Firing on ships that have already surrendered, purposefully firing on civilian transport ships, and using illegal weaponry to do it? How low can you sink?

And then we have Orga who in the beginning is outraged that Barriston pretended like nothing was wrong and ordered him to stay put because his making a move would put Teiwaz in danger. Well, with how Orga is seen stopping Eugene in the PV and clenching his own fists to stop himself at the funerals, unlike before his revenge this time will be a cold dish, served in a calculated but still brutal manner. That single manly tear is gonna cost Jasley a world, I'm sure. And he now has a grudge against Barriston, too, for not doing anything to help Naze, so yeah, Tekkadan separating itself from Teiwaz intensifies.

On one hand I get where McMurdo is coming from, but at the same time, I also get Orga's anger. It's sort of that Spock vs Kirk clash of mentalities. The good of the overall mission and group vs facing and conquering the odds because we don't leave a man behind.
During his entire time as leader of Tekkadan and even as leader of the third group, Orga has scrapped, fought, and sacrificed for his men, sure some of his men die and he's had to carry that. But he's never purposefully abandoned men under him if he knew he hand the power to help them. Here, while I understand that McMurdo was looking out for the good of Teiwaz, I think there is definitely more he could have done. Especially considering that he could have nipped this in the bud earlier by dealing with Jasley, who has been rather obvious in his animosity. Sure it might be fine to begin with as boys will be boys, but as years past and that animosity grew, you should have known that it was going to come to a head.
I also think that McMurdo could have thought of something else, some way of sending Naze help. I mean, Shino can't be the only one who thinks of a plan to "test boosters", come on.
One thing we do know is, I think that McGillis might get quite a few more willing volunteers to join his revolution as I think quite a few Turbine girls are pretty pissed.
