Not that they ever clearly explain what Alto's true motivation was, right to the end (IIRC). She probably assumed (and correctly too) that Alto wasn't the kind of person who'd have sold such data. But I bet she could have followed through.

Nawww, I was talking about the scene before the actual concert. Before and after Alto met Ranka. There was a change in his attitude. But whatever... Quote:

And they never said that the family isn't told that the person died, just how they died. @Mei19 but the montage says differently, why are the scenes with him so focused on him reacting to Frontier's destruction if it wasn't important? |

But anyway, I'm still trying to figure this all out myself. That's why I started joining in the discussions, so really I don't mind getting called out on stuff. Oh, Gilliam, I mean all we saw was a bunch of blood spill and a couple armor panels. You could think of it as something like a fruit that had all the juice squeezed out of it~ The skin is mostly still intact and in one piece, it's just a bit... smaller now, and less juicy. At least it was closed casket! |

From what I see is that Alto has the heart and the will to protect but this is starting to focus within him. But the main reasons I see he joined, is because he needs a justification to leave behind his kabuki acting origin and as well as to find out if he can protect others with his flying talents. Just my own opinion. About Episode three ... Sheryl half naked and tuna boobs. That's all I can say.

Now, admittedly, I would rather see an episode about "Ranka emotes about Gilliam" than "Sheryl tries to get her panties back," but at least the latter had some kind of plot purpose to it. Ranka asking about Gilliam had none. And anyway, did Gilliam really save her? He tried to stop the Vajra, and failed. He didn't pull her away from the Vajra, he didn't rescue her from getting blown out into space. Everyone's focusing on the fact that Ranka thought Alto was pretty, but there's also the fact that he DID INDEED save her, unlike Gilliam.

In fact Sheryl going to school could be explained simply her saying that she never the chance to do it before, or they could just explain it by her temporarily transferring there because she is 17 years old and needs an education. Last edited by wisteria233; 2010-11-03 at 12:52. |

But, for mostly better but sometimes worse, we're stuck with the show as written and produced. There are what I perceive as two REALLY MASSIVE missteps on the scriptwriters part, but they're not coming up for a good long while, and I'll address them then. In his defense, however, I doubt he could've foreseen a bunch of western fans running over Ranka's behavior with fine-toothed comb, more than two years after the show finished its original run.

It's really not that difficult to add a short scene which establishes interest from Ranka about the person who died for Alto and her and which then leaves the rest to the audiences imagination.

Besides, Ozma saying, "Well let me tell you about him" would require a few minutes of evasion to let the audience know that Ozma is still lying about his involvement with SMS to Ranka, and thus really SHOULDN'T know Gilliam at all.

It's a shame that she wasn't even mentioned after her death.

BTW, what exact message are they trying to convey with "Merry christmas without you!"? That's one bad case of Engrish. Ah, you know how Zentraedi are. "She is dead, let's move one" At least Klan gave an anguished cry at her death.
