I'm sort of unclear as to what people are finding so objectionable about Louise, sure she isn't the greatest character, but she serves to lighten the tone. And that's exactly what the show needs to avoid falling into the trap of being overly serious.

This episode is a waste of time, Saji should go die already. Louise is too good for idiots like Saji. Plus we dont even actually need characters like that, more time could have gone to show the gundam crew instead, i guess the script writers are good at writing crap like Saji, because thats all the thing they can relate with.

Just finished watching the subs and I don't get what all the fuss is about. The series is only in it's 5th episode of a 50 episode series be patient people.
Anyway I thought this episode was mild at best. We got a little action here and character development there. Also I like Saji and Louise they are nice relief to all the fighting and death and I hope that they don't take too active of a role in the fighting they're good as supporting cast for now.

Without the side characters like Louise and Saji, Gundam 00 veers towards being a very dour show. While some people may like that kind of thing, it doesn't really work very well if the writing is as poor as it has been. A few lighter-hearted characters serve to mute such criticisms by making the show take itself a little less seriously. It's also a much needed change of pace from the otherwise relentless exposition and geopolitics.
While it's true that the time spent on their characters could have perhaps been better used for other purposes, what they did in episode 5 is still superior to what Gundam 00 has shown so far.

If by 'normal' you mean 'random imbecile', I agree 100%. I understand what they're trying to do, but they just fail. Badly. I guess every anime show about competent people needs a Raki or two to maintain te balance of the universe...

As for Louise and Sanji, either you guys forgot or haven't seen but one or 2 G-series...Side character expositions and character randomness exists on almost every level of this genre...Hell Turn A is filled with enuff random character happenings to fill a Z'Gok swimming pool...I didn't hear you people complaining when Kira and Lacus were shopping for a dress with the "Apacolypse" over the horizon so why would you complain about the interaction of a young couple on a space base during a field trip (acting in a way very common to Japanese in anime)? From those annoying kids in Zeta, to the ensign in Double ZZ who wanted to date the pizza waitress, to the lives of Trowa's circus buddies, to etc., etc., etc. ...Gundam has always utilized side characters (or random characters) in a very mundane, matter of fact way...Usually to emphasize the nominal nature of life amoungst the greatness of what exists in the Gundamverse...I mean watch some Gundam and you'll find the actions of Sanji meaningless in comparison...Watch some more Gundam before you guys complain over this type of stuff, sheeesh...
