Apart from the Trinity actions, there is the fact that the media is controlled by the world's government. It's not like everyone is privy to the inner motivations of CB.

I don't see how this is a factor at all. I don't think the media in 00 has been shown to be controlled or oppressed in any way. The fact is that even the government bodies and the soldiers in this battle believe that the Gundams and Celestial Being has gone too far in their actions. I don't think there's a single non-CB character in the show you can name that even knows that Trinity and the original team disagrees. To the world, CB is CB.

Somehow I feel sorry for the doctor... only one episode to appear and in the next one he already dies.

while the gundams have gotten good press(azadistan incident) they've also gotten controversial press(taribia seperation) and recently terrible press(trinity's acts) so destroying gundams is a good thing in the eyes of the public.(not to mention you can question what celestial being has been doing since the start of the series.)

@duckroll good point.

yeah i did feel sorry for him, though I felt sadder when patrick and christina died.

I think Graham will join the fight against Alejandro. I think Alejandro will try to bring down a space elevator or two or three. Most GN-X's are trashed and most Gundams are out commission. It will be up to Exia and the GN-Flag to stop them.

And the writers are getting nuts, I think the body count will be high next episode with Al, Graham, Sergei, and Tieria going down to keep casualties as low as possible. Someone is going to overload a GN drive and nuke an entire space station to keep deaths low. I see it happening. Hell, even Setsuna might do it.

Patrick could have survived. These suits have ejection seats. He seemed to be pretty close to the "switch." He may survive.

Eeerh so far, none of the GN-X's have shown any pilot ejection feature (in fact, many mobile suits don't seem to even have this feature). And how would Patrick be closer to the ejection switch than any other pilot?

[Sylphic]

Where is Nena! I want to know!!!

Looks like she's a no-show again for this ep.

[Galerian]

*Snifs* With Patrick gone, Ali must be alive! If not, I got nobody left to root for. Well maybe Katie, but she doesn't pilot a MS. A shame really.

I require more non-emotionally-disturbed characters!

Edit; Oooh! CB 2.0 in the next series could be Patrick, Darryl and Ali. Left for dead in space, they contemplate the meaning of war and get rescued by the 00V-cast or another sidestory cast. CB would finally have some good pilots and the above have their lives saved.

[Pride]

So is Ali still alive? I'll be damn disappointed if he's not the mid boss or something.

We all know when Setsuna is going to hide out at the end of the season 1 at his princess's house.

This all reminds me of gundam wing after the colonies delared the gundams were not part of them and they had to fend for themselves.

just what I was thinking...


okay.. so CB is cut down to half the normal operators, and 3/4 of the pilots.. not to mention only one gundam is still intact... + GN Arms.. hmm.. next episode will have a serious one on one... but htis one.. so.. dramatic.. so emotional... so awesome, who ever was saying we can't expect only awesome episodes was so wrong.. atleast for the season finale

if you call this episode cliffhanger.. well.. I really want to know what the next one will be..

[hamstar]

Spoiler:

- patrick died...too early? This series really keeps you on your toes. I thought he had plot shield and couldnt be killed.
- lich died....meh
- oh sweet christina died, i never liked her.
- alexandro is bringing the pain lol

He's not a member of CB. He was but an observer(Menclave: surveyor), who only held, with the others just like him, a collective right to veto CB's actions.

Besides, he did mention his family being waiting for this opportunity, so 1) they should have been preparing all these for a while, and 2) his lineage should be a rather outstanding one.

possible set to renew them in 2nd season...

Reminds me I read somewhere 00 was made to be abit like Wing. Not sure how true is this though

They work from the shadows, hidden from view from everybody, even the CB, and always have. (a rather convenient way of explaining their absence in the anime...)

Its not like they can do that much anyway, with their outdated technology and the fact that they can only field one Gundam at a time.

[Key Board]

1) Gundam side story characters never cross over to the main anime

2) Side stories are made to fill in certain details. Side stories have to re-align their story in order to match and not contradict the anime. On the contrary, the anime itself does not need to acknowledge that side stories exist.

They're equivalent to Star Wars EU in a way

3) Side stories almost always have a different writer, who, quite frankly, does not have a very clear idea how things are going to progress in the main plot. The most he can do as of now is assign the side characters their own final boss which would explain why they are supposedly preoccupied
