Well, this is where things blew up, yet I hope I may reiterate the point without another explosion: Methinks that you are applying Nanoha (your "idealistic" world, as you put it) logic to a show which at the moment (in my most humble opinion) is very strongly tinged "cynical". Therefore, what you suggest (using wishes to battlerez fallen MG friends, cooperation between MGs, pooh-poohing the dangers to life and limb etc) may make sense to you, but they constitute hair-raising foolishness to me (the proponent of the "cynical" theory).

I do believe that at the very end, Madoka WILL become a MG of the idealistic kind. But before that, I foresee alot more nasty carnage. And unfair Homerun-chan persecution, you meanie. Alas.

We'll see. Ep6 will be slippery slope, and things will get BAD soon thereafter, I think.
