Fate has some insights into Precia:

Fate: That's why, I think she knew, that a created person is no substitute. The me who's just like Alicia, yet not Alicia at all. The me who's living Alicia's lost life. Mother probably thought, "Why is a failure like you alive, while Alicia would not return?"

Fate: I loved and respected mother, but that's just what I thought as a result of Alicia's memories. From the beginning to the end, I was not Alicia, I could not become the Alicia in that person's heart, so that was probably very painful for her.

Fate: If there's something I hate mother for, it's for not being able to tell the truth.

Fate: For not being able to tell me when I first awakened, that I was created to bring back Alicia, so please work for me and Alicia. Then I wouldn't have pain mother so much. I may have found a better way for the both of them.

I posted that in the Favourite Quotes thread, but…

In any case, I hope Dr. Scaglietti has some background beyond simply going insane.

And nowhere did I say they should. It just seems a bit sugary sweet cheerful to me. What is their age supposed to be right now btw, I'm not sure.

[Keroko]

19 years, actually.

But sugary sweet... Rein, perhaps, but that's part of her personallity. Nanoha and the others act pretty much normal to me.

I'm not saying that Precia wasn't a villian for what she did to Fate, but she did have what seemed to her as good reasons for what she did, it wasn't that she was just a sadist. She never really thought of Fate as anything more than a tool to get back her beloved daughter so she never felt any need for remorse over anything she did to her.

yea that is true.
Precia just used Fate as a puppet to gather all the jewel seeds and had no remorse to what ever she did to Fate, since she is not her daughter and is just a clone.
But Fate was a living thing and had Allicia's memories stored in herself.
I guess Precia made a mistake by making her have Allicia's memories.

[FlareKnight]

If Precia had made Fate how she trated her, like a puppet without those memories it probably would've been different. She may not have worked as hard because she didn't have those memories of a kind mother that she wanted to bring back by pushing herself so hard.

Guess it depends, Fate turned out well because she had those memories and could move forward. Though having them led to a lot of pain because they contradicted strongly with the current reality.

I know its very late but it doesn't feel complete when I can't give my comments for each episode. Well then...

Spoiler for comments:

- I wasn't expecting Subaru's barrier to hold against Graf Eisen.
- The Metal Storm loading system for Cross Mirage sure is interesting. It makes me wonder just how much spare rounds does Teana have.
- Damn, Fate was fast. And I can't seem to imagine Caro dodging like a pro.
- Vita's a terror teacher.
- 'Signum Neesan?' From Vice?!
- Hayate calls herself Genya Nakajima's favorite student, and she seems to be in very good terms with old man Nakajima. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on the guy. And what the heck, I gotta give that old guy some credit for asking her out to dinner and claiming the bills.
- Hayate still gets treated like a young girl in the Central and main branches.
- The Jewel Seed part was a bit unexpected. I wonder if it's authentic.
- I'm considering that the Mach Caliber Variation for Ginga would be more aerial-oriented since she could most probably fly already.
- It would seem that Ginga is left-handed.
- "Plenty of time for them to learn more by knocking them down in a mock battle." Way to go, Nanoha!
- Seems like Vita has lost ALL her aggression towards Nanoha. She even went all dere-dere when patted.

OH SHI-!

It just hit me! I can't believe I didn't spot it before!!!

So that's how Hayate's getting away with it....

[Chi-no]

Too bad didn't get to see much of Sigum's action in these few esp.... But at least get to see Vita's ....

[OkamiNoKaze]

More training this episode, all performed well, this time with Fate, and Vida thrown in for the fun of it. I was surprised the drones were powered by the Star Seeds. Is it me or did Teana look pretty good in her training out fit.
