And as a star, boosting people's morale, stiffening their spines is well within her purview. She didn't make the decision, she supported it. It's normal she'd make sure people around her did too. It's the same as posting on the internet about which candidate you prefer... except she's doing in on TV. Because she's a star. You said it was stupid to listen to a singer's word as if they mattered. You're right. But it's also stupid to believe people aren't stupid. And to not make use of it. Stupid or not, people do listen to entertainers and athletes. Throwing away such a propaganda tool would be daft. About her returning to Galaxy: what I think she meant is, she's going to do her concert, as planned. In the meantime, Frontier's forces are going to kick the invader off her home, and she'll be able to return soon after in relative safety. She didn't mean she'd smuggle herself to a warzone. It's just another example of morale boosting. And professionalism. Quote:
They just clicked. It's not necessarily better than what he has with Ranka, but it's more equal. Whereas Ranka is someone to be protected and comforted, Sheryl is someone he can talk to. And he is someone Sheryl can talk to as a person rather than a star, which apparently is pretty rare. Quote:

But hey, it's normal. To have a good love triangle, all sides have to be developed. First few episodes were for Ranka, then Sheryl. I guess it'll be Ranka's turn again soon. |

To go back to the Sheryl date thing in regards to following Ranka/Michael... it was Sheryl who lead Alto onto the train when they run away from onlookers who noticed who she was... Alto took her to a farm to show it off since Sheryl was in awe of Frontier's scenery. It was Sheryl's idea to go to the Zentradi mall after the farm not Alto's and it wasn't like Alto was franticly looking for Ranka and Michael when he was with her.

Some say it's 'stupidity' to listen to athletes and celebrities, but we do that on a daily basis so what difference does that make? Also, I don't think it's entirely stupid of us as a population to do so. These kinds of trends, for better or worse, reflect how they resonate with our culture. I mean, sure it sounds cool to say that you are not influenced by mere sports/celebs, but let's not kid ourselves.
Also, FINALLY WE HEAR THE ORCHESTRAL OVERTURES. FINALLY. PS- Speaking of the warp problems apparent in Macross Universe, I think the episode's OP made it pretty clear why: The fold disturbances. Hence it can't exactly 'insta-warp' like with Star Wars or go on continuous trek barring engine power like in Star Trek. |

Ranka is dynamic character while Sheryl is more of a round character. Ranka has changed a lot, while Sheryl just shows the depth of her personality, she is quite static until this moment in character progression.
Quote:
That is quite simple, Ranka just digs a hole for herself. She doesn't understand Alto wants to end that topic as soon as possible. What would be a quicker way to end it than simply answering YES to Ranka's badly worded question?

nice episode I especially like the song toward the end.
the triangle relationship keeps getting hotter this time. I feel bad for Ranka but at the same time I'm rooting for Sherly - hmmm such a complex feeling. Ranka = minmay Sherly = misa Mikhail = kaifun everyone? PS: that sexual harassment really nice specially whe she "Actually" like it |

That's exactly what I thought.
http://www.microsoft.com/surface/index.html So, we have at least one thing that's guaranteed to happen in RL by the Macross-verse year. |

Ranka instead is changing for the worse: I hope she won't become another Lin Minmei because I don't like her at all. This phenomenon, that I call "bitchyfication", happens very often among people who suddenly become famous for some reason: they forget they are only VERY LUCK persons among many other common persons and they start thing to be special, to be unique, to be SUPERIOR... |

I don't know. So far, Ranka seems more lost than bitchy. (Though of course, that may be her future.) And alone, too. She's about to embark in the adventure of her life, but, well, instead of getting support from her brother and Alto, they go off to maybe get killed. And Nanase is already starting to treat her like a different person.

Oh, by the way, just the description you gave. I'd like to call that kind of character round characters.

Didn't happen to Gamlin in Macross 7?
Sure it's a lucky pendant from Mylene but I was pretty sure his VF-17 Nightmare was blown on collision. I doubted his survival back then because he's a supporting character who would go out like Guld Bowman. But here Alto is the main star so his plot armour would be thick. Though not as thick as Nekki Basara. |
