Woops, should've posted here.

Spoiler for They weren't kidding:

Walkure's introduction.... is it too late to rename the show to "Mahou Shoujo Walkure"?

Not that I'm complaining though, since as I previously mentioned a few posts back, I've had the feeling Macross was capable of doing that since the Frontier movies.

The strangest thing is, considering the tech that previous Macross series have shown so far (especially from Frontier), the actual things that Mahou Shoujo Walkure does in this episode don't feel so farfetched in the setting. Besides, having the singers be involved in the front line fight rather than being the musical support buff/debuff is actually a rather fresh concept for Macross, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

Seeing Mikumo jump on a Regult to cure the pilot of his syndrome with a dose of DECULTURE, now that takes balls that I don't think I've seen in a Macross show before. Also, she freaking tanks a missile barrage by herself, and breaks out of the rubble like a freaking Terminator.

Spoiler for On the tech front:

The most interesting thing for me in terms of tech that some people might not catch is seeing the Draken's jamming forming three of itself on the Siegfried's canopy. Considering that the drones deployed by the Draken later definitely don't look like the Draken copies seen earlier, it suggests that the cockpit canopies on the VF-31 are actually some kind of active monitor, rather than just being simple glass windshields.
