Wow, so much debate.
Now that I'm all caught up (thanks C.A for the summary), I'll give my thoughts on this episode, then make my comeback in the Spoilers and Speculation thread. Spoiler for thoughts:
That's all for now. More of my speculation in the S&S thread in a bit. Going to make a sandwich. |

Using F35 is not a very good move IMO, they have to be at least 300years old. And I can think a movie that did similar things - Battlefield Earth...
@SaintessHeart It's not a cheap knock off, they are built for different roles. You won't want to use a F22 for ground support. One is not better than the other in absolute usefulness terms. |

Indeed the F-22 is the best American jet, no doubt about it, there's a reason the pilots do simulations of 2 F-22s vs 16 F-15s.
But you can't cramp F-22s on carriers, that's where the F-35 variants come in. For the show using it, I think they're just trying to link back to 'ancient Earth' like Mr Blackbelt and the other 'antiques' that Leopard was dumping in space back in episode 1. In episode 1, the ICP traffic police Lily, was saying that these items are antiques from the Earth 10000 years ago, I'm not sure if she's exaggerating though. But seeing how high tech civilisation is in the show, it could be possible.

F-35/F22/AVB8 are probably the echelon frame designs of Earth based aircraft. VTOL technology gives the aircraft an edge in massed attacks, and all is needed is regular upgrades to the avionics and flight control systems. Unless we can mass produce a high density but low weight material (pun unintended), putting a human being at above Mach 3 speeds for hours on end will turn them into strawberry jam. The next best aircraft type to be able to be piloted by humans would be something of variable vector maneuver, like the VF in Macross (Honoka > Sakura >>> Ranka/Sheryl). But that would take incredible coordination and onboard functions to be able to fly such a thing. F22 isn't exactly built for ground support, unless it is used to drop a nuclear JDAM. It is fast enough to fly out of the blast zone and is EMP shielded. One thing about the F-35 is its variable capability that allows it to mount the beam guns. Another thing is that it can mount external payloads of AAMs. All it needs is extra thrusters and canards to be able to lift it into the sky. Spoiler for spoiler:

They probably have some form of AI/reaction computing (predecessor to the Navis?) to help with piloting as in Yukikaze, and even then only people with exceptional reflexes would be able to pilot them. Those big radomes (if that's what they are) aren't very aerodynamic, though. |

I don't think any of the sisters know who Aleida is, even for Akiha who saw her face. Because Akiha couldn't recognise Aleida as anyone besides the lady in her dreams, she may actually not be their mum.
It would be really difficult to forget how your mum looks like lol and if they know Aleida is their mum, I don't think Takane and Kazane would be fighting her like an enemy.

Well, I guess it really has hit the fan. Spoiler:
Right now I guess the biggest mystery is around Aleida, though I am still not convinced she is what we think she is. |

I haven't posted on this board yet but I have to say this episode was all kinds of fun. Especially Akiha and Itsuki's bikinis. Or the old guy in the end. Or Sawashiro Miyuki's character whose name I can't remember cacking a whip and becoming a messiah. Or anything Leopard did.

the only way to explain why humans on earth going primate is because 20 years ago, all adults are brainwashed by nerval and the childrens are left on their own. without anyone to teach or guide them, the childrens grew up the way they are now.
