The A-Laws do the unthinkable and the Orbital Elevator
over Africa is destroyed. As the
destruction threatens the Earth’s surface: the Regular Federation forces,
Katharon and Celestial Being all join forces to save the planet from
devestation. Will this end in
unification or more heartbreak? As the
world heads towards a reformation in the wake of this crisis, bold moves are
being made by those behind the scenes to usher in a new era for humanity. Others seek to settle old scores once and for
all. And in the middle of it all,
Setsuna F Seiei must confront his own destiny and become something long
foretold by Aeolia Schenberg.
Pardon me but…it need to be said, “They finally, really
did it. YOU MANIACS!!!! YOU BLEW IT
UP!!! AHHH DAMN YOU!!! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!!!”
For those of you unaware of your scifi that line was
uttered by the late Charlton Heston at the mid warping conclusion of the
original Planet of the Apes. Why open
with this quote when there’s a lot to talk about? (when is there not) Well that’s because we got one amazing
opening sequence this set with the A-Laws blowing up the orbital elevator and
letting the pieces large and small, fall where they may…that is scope and
direness upped to the nth degree.
Talk about World Unification 2.0. It seems like almost everyone except for
A-Laws was aiding in the effort to keep the debris damage to a minimum. Even Soma, er Marie, er…nah im still gonna
call her Soma, got out there to help, charging in with Arios’s Gun Archer back
up fighter. It seemed like the day was
saved…and then Andre went and killed his Dad Sergei cause he’s given us no
reason to believe he thinks beyond his own “im better than my dad attitude”
that and his creepy crush on Louise.
Sergei is going to be missed and you felt for Soma losing the only
parent she’s ever had in her life. Soma
Smirnov would be one very attractive name, Sergei’s notion not mine and not in
a creepy way.
The four month jump in time didn’t feel much like four
months…more like four days. I mean yeah
the elevator disaster was cleared up and the world is united under A-Laws, I guess
those are big developments. But looking
at Celestial Being itself, it just feels like nothing drastic has changed from
the last battle. Soma’s still pissed and
Alleluia’s screaming for her to listen to him…pretty much exactly what he’s
been reduced to since he found her. Anew
and Lock On hooked up…ok I guess, ive got something about that ill go over in a
second. Saji’s seeming to level out,
kind of surprising, but I guess he had to at some point.
I did like that we finally got more insight into why Wang
Liu Mei has been playing both sides this season…she wants to become an
Innovator. Interesting, so they don’t have
to just be digital enhanced, eternal youth, tank bred (?) individuals, you can
become an Innovator as a human? That
seems to be Ribbons mindset in regards to Setsuna and his developing
capabilities. Ah, the Newtype references
hard at work. So Liu Mei has sought to
attain this next level of humanity, but Ribbons says it’s impossible and
eventually she’ll grow old, her beauty will fade and she will die. Yeah I’m kind of torn between hating the bad
guys and enjoying it when they put some of my least favorite characters in
their place. First it was Ribbons
slapping Liu Mei in anger and now him telling her she’ll never get her
way. The world kind of sucks for the
would be spy of Celestial Being, especially now that Nena Trinity is getting
off the bench to do something this season and has her mistress dead in her
sights.
Oh and Anew’s a traitor…what a shock. The only reason I’m willing to lighten up a
bit on this poor surprise is Lock On actually taking notice of the little
things. His being with Anew is making
him less blind to what she could be…scratch that, he knows what Anew is and
guess what, he doesn’t care. Lock On is
still determined to be with her and keep her safe…wont lie, that’s
awesome. He may not be exactly like his
brother, but Lyle “Lock On” Delandy has definitely taken the awesome character
points this round.
And is that poor Graham Acker pouting in the distance
cause a Gundam doesn’t want to come fight him?
Yes, yes it is.
Believe it or not, only two more parts to go before we
close out this long experience. Anew’s
got her gun ready for a betrayal and you can bet this probably wont end well
for anyone.
