You know, I never figured out what the heck GAR means exactly, but I think Kamina'd give all the 2007 males a run fo their money as the most awesome, manly and cool dude. And charming. In that crazy way...

I'm really looking forward to tonight's episode, although the 2-part nature of it makes me strongly believe

Spoiler for speculation:

Carmine'll get killed or deported or something in episode 6 because if she did successfully get close to the Gate and regain her powers, then logically speaking the next few eps would have a lot of carnage happening... but they move on to other stories and it seems as if everything else is still largely normal (if Carmine was going around wreaking havoc, you'd think they'd at least mention it briefly in the synopses...)
And since people die so easily in this show... well, not like I made a lot of logical sense just now, but I really think she's going to kick the bucket.

I won't put my hopes up too high on the action for this show (if I want action eyecandy I'll watch Seirei or Gurenn, tyvm) but hopefully it won't be embarassingly short...
