Gundam 00 - 17

by: Tales

This episode was quite informative and showed what some of the new gundams are capable of.  I did originally think that they would have little battle experience, but Michael Trinity handled the situation faster than most of the other gudam meisters would have.  Anyways, it appears that there was a wreckage with the blue haro on it 80 years ago.  Maybe this has something to do with the first generation of gundam meisters?  That’s what I’m leaning towards at the moment.  However, it seems the blue haro must have had the gundam throne data stored on it.  It also had it’s memory wiped and didn’t recognize Lockon’s haro.

The kissing scene with Nena and Setsuna definitely shocked me.  I was sure that Marina would be Setsuna’s first kiss if it ever happened.  Nena also was able to enter Veda’s communication room which Tieria uses.  This makes me wonder if the Trinity siblings may be super soldiers or something like Tieria.

Another fact about where the solar generators were created is answered.  They seemed to be created long ago on Jupiter when an expedition there took place.  I’m going to guess that Lockon’s haro was also on that wrecked ship.  it must have also carried some data on the gundams.  Either way, I’m quite interested to see what the provoked gundam meisters will do about the Trinity siblings taking over.  Will they accept them, or fight against them?  We’ll have to see what new developments happen next episode.

On a side note, Louise looked to be in the hospital for some reason after getting on the shuttle in the episode 18 preview.  I’m hoping they don’t kill off Saji for some reason.  That would make me somewhat sad for Louise.  I do enjoy their screentime.
