All I remember from Corner was the "It's a good thing I met you" comment. Was there something else?
My personal suspicion about Graham is that he's a good enough pilot to beat ANY of the Gundams in a one on one fight, with the souped up Flag that he has, RIGHT NOW. The only problem is that he doesn't have full data on the capabilities of the mobile suits he's facing. So they're constantly able to pull new tricks out of their sleeves in order to beat him. But if he actually knew what he were going up against, he'd beat any of the Gundams. So no, his mobile suit isn't as good as the Gundams. But he could still take one in a duel. With regards to the professor - there's no reason to believe that he wasn't a target before his "Jupiter" guess. He's been researching this for a while. And his computer got hacked, which suggests that someone may have known that he was getting close. Of course, once he made his, "But that means CB's real goal is...!" comment, I knew he was a dead man... The upshot of this is that everyone's favorite JNN reporter will probably become a target before long, as she's also becoming obsessed with finding out what CB is up to. Ali doesn't qualify as an evil villain? (kidding... I know what you meant :P ) I'm not completely convinced yet that Schoenberg is necessarily the villain. But the reasoning is in another post, so I won't repeat it all here. The preview for the next episode looked unusually interesting. Maybe the episode will actually live up to the trailer for once. junior Subject : [gundam] Gundam 00 Episode 17 *spoilers* Date : Tue, 5 Feb 2008 01:48:33 -0500 >From : "Dr. Core" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To : [email protected] too much philosophic gogoodeegoop (from Corners this week, thank Kami for skipping Marina/Shirin diatribe for once). Also too much Graham this week. Yes sure we know he's due for some serious heroism soon. The WTF-of-the-week: the Trinities are already well on their way to kill Eifman even before he himself figured out something /dangerous/ so the Trinities (really it's the purple Haro) have pre-cog now? Also a dark Haro with red upward-slanted eyes? Hmm a Evil Haro! Such subtle design methodology? Ok, now the good(?): I said I know they (writers) are going somewhere only I had absolutely no idea where? Now I am starting to smell something, well really not I, but Eifman. He's sniffing the right tree, and I am only guessing where things are going. It would explain some of the baka things Setsuna and co. have been doing; why the writers spent so much time to humanize the cannon fodders (Ming, Joshua and Howard), and finally why there hasn't been any _Evil_ villain so far. Oh also why the Trinity's didn't show up in the 2nd OP. So ready or not: Eifman realized Aeolia Schenberg's real motive and then he was executed. So that pretty much leave no doubt Schenberg or his successor is the _Evil_ mastermind of this series. The seed of discontent/rebellion is already sow in the Ptolemaios crew/GM4. (may I propose to use "GM4" to represent Setsuna, Lockon, Allejulah and Tiera, and "GM3" to cover the Trinity siblings?)
