I had been working on this for a few days but Joseph beat me to it. Here are a
few of my random thoughts about the episode:
I wonder if Setsuna will ever forgive himself for not finishing off Ali
Al-Sarshes when he had the chance. There was no indication of the
Post-Trans-Am power loss when Ali started to flee so theoretically Setsuna
could've at least tried to take him out. As much as Tieria is blaming himself
for Lockon's death I think there will be adequate amounts of guilt for Setsuna
to have his share.
Lockon - While it was interesting to see his childhood flashback I am curious
why there was no indication of his mysterious twin we saw at his graveyard
visit in the dinner scene but then before his death he mentions "Lyle". I am
really curious where they will go with that plotline. Typical dramatic
structure would seem to require Ali Al-Sarshes to be held accountable for the
terrorist attack that killed Lockon's family. Since Lockon failed to avenge
his parents I wonder if his twin will fulfill the task, or will Setsuna defeat
him for himself and for Lockon. Part of me wouldn't be shocked if Lockon's
twin miraculously came out of hiding to become the new Dynames pilot.
In the preview clip of Alejandro piloting what appears to be a Mobile Armor he
had something that looked like jewelry on his normal suit. For some reason it
just brought images of M'Quve, and his vase, to my mind.
As Joseph touched upon it seems that Corners may have it in for the Solar Array
which I have been predicting will come down by the end of the series for a
while now.
It is interesting that Aeolia Schoenberg erased the data on the Gundam Meisters
from Veda after Corners' betrayal. How did he know that the Meisters wouldn't
be the ones to end up betraying him? What good does it do to remove the info
since the Trinity siblings knew all of the dirt on the Ptolemais Meisters which
means Corners probably had the dirt on them as well?
Did Tieria lose access to the Trial System when Alejandro and Sumeragi cut them
off from Veda? I would think that he lost the ability but then what was the
point of it? It seems awfully important at the time. I have a feeling he may
find a way to tap into it with the new system and it might help against the
Jinxes.
