Why waste so much of the first episode to explain the science than just ignore it all? It's like there was one author that decided the premise than kicked the bucket and another author took over and decided to ignore the entire premise. That is just plain dumb what is the author smoking?

The single girl transformations possibly could be explained scientifically the suits they transform into could be a more advanced form of exoskeleton.. We have silicon clothing that gets hard when hit. So yes a material that enhances our strength and such with a power source could become reality. Even transferring electricity through the air is possible now to a small scale they have done monitors that were powered by the base by up to 3 feet away with no physical connection connecting them.

Teleportation or shape changing metal to form the weapons again semi-believable look at Terminator 2 and Stargate. But becoming a new grown up body from two people.. now that was just taking science and slapping it in the face.

This is taking magic girls in a scifi environment that supposedly are not magic girls.. there is just no practical way to explain merging of two souls and bodies into one and than separating back into two. The author did not know if he/she wanted the world to be science or magic from this second episode. Docking sounded like a more advanced robot form not a merging.

I just can't figure out why they wasted the time to explain the show scientifically only to throw the entire thing out the window.. Should of just started this show with discovery of magic and forgot reality as they blew away any reason for the first episode.
Nobody listens. I said it many times. Magical girls. Because science. That means, for those slow on the uptake, that they will be doing pure magical girl stuff, but using science as an excuse for it. This is what we call "soft science fiction." And really, if you thought the science in episode 1 was good, you weren't paying attention when they stuffed their grandfather's body in the fridge, as if that would somehow do it any good. And let's not even mention his counsciousness ending up in a stuffed toy, which then became fully animate as if it were a living creature.

This show has never been about real science. This is using science as an excuse for fancy mahou shoujo antics.

Don't worry! They weren't named characters, so they totally don't count.
