Do you think the failings of 1-17 are as a whole or on an individual episode level? I thought you were really liking it in the beginning.

Again I am also starting to repeat myself... I don't want to discourage you from having and sharing your view. But IMHO, these sudden surprises are fine by me. We have different levels of fog here. Azadistan doesn't know UN's agenda, the world doesn't know CB's true motive, and even GM's don't know about other parts of CB (ie. the TM) and the grand scheme. We the audience know a bit more than Big 3, JNN, Azadistan etc, but a bit less than Sumeragi/Wang Liu-Mei gang. Several characters have complicated backstories, there are many many questions that needs answering. All fine. I am not happy with the existing episodes (1-17), independent of how the story will continue or end. Hopefully there is a good story in the end, all these hidden backstories, open-ends and secret schemes will be uncovered one-by-one and woven into a coherent web. I acknowledge ep.17 _could_ be the transition point into a brilliant series. But whatever happen in 18 and onward, that's very unlikely to change my judgment that ep. 1-17 had been poorly written and directed. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
