Spoiler for Episode 7:

At least for the first 10 minutes it looks like an updated version of the original Episode 10. There are some things that are different or updated for new information.

Without translations is looks like Niimi was part of the Izumo Plan and that it was heading for the currently known closest habitable solar system (Gliese 581) 22 light years away from Earth. Looks like her office area has one of the sleeping tubes from the old series in it. The Security Officer still comes across like a snake in the grass.

I can't quite tell what Yamamoto is doing in this one. Following Kodai around, or if these is something she wants. It could be similar to what happend in the orignal. Kodai and the Captain have no family on Earth. It is possible Yamamoto doesn't either. No telling about Yuki still...she's coming off as mysterious again when it comes to the subject of Iscandarians.

The female members of the crew do come in all shapes and sizes They aren't all hot. They are also in several departments this time around. I noticed what looks like a greenish uniform, so I guess some are in navigations as well as operations, rader, service, sciences, medical, security, and the one in the fighter wing. Not seen any in the red for combat division yet. No female gunners yet. The halloweenish costumes look a bit silly, but it is a party while they are still relatively safe close to home.

Other changes include Tokugawa's younger son in the talk with the engineer's granddaughter. Shima having and even more heartbreaking conversation with his brother.
