I am thinking Striker is carrying Kugel's will; since Kugel died, Striker was left to continue Kugel's wish, not only for the sake of GA's ideals, but also to affirm its continued existence. |

Here's a question: Why the HECK hasn't Pinion been wearing his hair down? He looks 10 times more awesome, and he seems to have gotten 10 times smarter too. Maybe all that hair gel was affecting his brain...

I don't know why all robotics stories have to be hidebound to Asimov's laws, since we obviously haven't yet developed a sentient robot. (And perhaps shows like this and 2001 show why we probably shouldn't.)
Yes, I can perhaps imagine a scenario where a sentient computer might declare itself superior to its "meatbag" creators and perhaps as mankind's successor child; a creature born of pure intellect. If a robot or even computer has all the intellectual capacities of a human, why shouldn't it develop sentiments of arrogance and pride...or perhaps independence and justice, as Chamber seems to be doing when it/he agreed to go into battle against Striker? Going back to the show, I personally would've liked the fight between Ledo and Striker to be a little more drawn out and Ledo to actually be in a position of danger and fear for his life; but still, the fight that did ensue was pretty awe-inspiring, and I liked seeing him finally standing up to his old masters. And I also like how Melty became quite the determined little spitfire in the past couple episodes. I think she's actually had more lines than Amy in the last two. I was confused; was the squirrel Ledo encountered Grace herself, or just another of her species? (Which gives the implication that in this world, they breed like ship rats.) |

I was so spot on with that revelation!
It really was Striker the whole time with his corpse left rotting in the cockpit. The A.I was probably left to revert to what it was programmed to do to remain relevant since Chamber said a couple episodes back that the machine calibur's sole purpose or in this case its "existence" was to take out the hideaze. The only problem is it was never informed in what to do if their pilot dies along the way especially in a foreign land. Chamber is the best! That is all. Oh and I like how they use the hook for the main theme in The Dark Knight during that battle with Kugel. Don't think I didn't see what you did there, Production I.G. Like the World's Greatest Detective, here's the proof. Spoiler for space:
Listen to the 2:13 marker and enjoy. (<Batman fanatic)

I love this ep.
- Ledo re-do his thought. - Melty didn’t get melted by beam when she took off. - Pinion changed his opinion on Kugel (Striker) force. - LUKKAGE lurked under water and attacked. - Striker get struck by Chamber. - Amy is ready to go to save Ledo. - Kugel turned into gel…. (oh! )

Chamber I'm impressed! You left the decision to Ledo.
In a way Chamber is a master manipulator. He had doubts with the disease and "happiness" Striker was spewing but ultimately left the choice to Ledo. He would support his pilot over somebody who does not act rationally. Striker it seems ultimately lost its marbles. Ledo and Chamber fight her to protect humanity. |

Chamber is merely a pilot support system. His purpose is to maximize the combat efficiency of his pilot. In the absence of direct orders from the Galactic Alliance, he obeys the commands of his pilot. He didn't leave the decision to anyone, he's an AI programmed to support his pilot.
What's interesting is what Striker is doing. In the absence of her pilot, why is she acting on her own? Her purpose is to maximize the efficiency of her pilot. I hope the Galactic Alliance are not so stupid as to design a support AI which doesn't automatically execute a failsafe shutdown on the termination of the pilot's life. After last week's episode, it looked like the show was about to go completely off the rails but this episode somehow managed to jump clear off the tracks and land squarely on another set of tracks. It's obvious they are rushing the story now though, one wonders why they wasted so much time earlier on with such a short 1-cour run planned. |

A minor tidbit I realized that should have made the eventual Kugel reveal more predictable while watching this episode. During the battle, "Kugel" was basically repeating the same statements he made earlier, with no differences in tone or wording that a human may have under similar circumstances.

The AIs are programmed to have male and female human voices. What's wrong with using the proper genders to address them? Why else would they have been programmed with human voices instead of robotic ones? Anthropomorphism is intentional when machine voices are assigned human qualities, it's so humans will feel more comfortable when interacting with them. Haven't you ever wondered why Siri is a woman?
