My first mid term, psychology, is the upcoming saturday and well…I’m mostly prepared (need to fine tune some details). I guess I’m kind of lucky since I’ve learned stats and neuron functions in high school (unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to brain structure and functions…other than the hypothalamus, petuitary gland I never really bothered to remember the rest…). Anyway, since I got some time now, here comes my take on this week’s Gundam 00 Season 2. Unfortunately though, episode 2 has lost much of the momentum produced in episode 1.
"Alas I is a real boy now"
OK so I was wrong last week. The A-LAWS (or whatever they feel like calling themselves I don’t care) are actually part of the UN forces, and some dead bald guy compels Celestial Being to always go interfere with the government. So now we see how the plot is merging with season 1.
To be perfectly honest, this kind of feels like one of those times where you’re running around spamming LFG.
- AFK -
Instead of trying to get to the root of the problem, Ian, the weapon developer guy, is using trial and error method to kit bash parts from the older Gundams into 00, and is getting rejected.
"So you want me to replace some dead guy just because Sunrise regrets having the balls to actually kill someone?"
"I'm giving all the top secret information to some random guy on the street cuz the script told me to"
"This is so going on eBay"
Setsuna confronts “the other Lockon” and “the other Lockon” joins the party unconditionally.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away…
Reunion of the losers/veterans
"No one will notice me if I wear a mask and wear brightly coloured clothing"
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away…
Saji has been thrown into an assylum because he is more of a danger to himself than anything else
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away…
I've had this stuff once, it tastes awful
"Sup, I'm taking you back, and guy that I don't know, I'm ignoring you."
Meanwhile…OK I’ll stop
Haro is making love to the laptop in Saji's face
Keyboard in the 24th century, are all those F keys necessary?
I’ll skip the boring interlude and go directly into the action.
No one is going to notice our brightly coloured spacecraft!
Talk about overkill...(I want the kit >.<)
I've always been wondering...why is there always so much things to blow up?
Lag Attack!
Now...is this really necessary?
It's a Gunblade =O
"By the weapon triangle, lance trumps sword!"
But that doesn't work if the target is overpowered (or uses Lancereaver) By the way, does Armor Slayer reverse the weapon triangle as well?
"Setsuna <3"
“Lockon Stratos!? He’s been alive all this time!?
Neil Dylandy from Heaven: “I’m dead you assholes.”
"Brains..."
The ending clip has nothing that’s really worth mentioning, except for this:
Those who never thought this would happen…think again
Yea, not a really exciting episode. I gotta go back to studying.

Awesome reference to FE XD. I was thinking of the same thing when the A-Laws cannon fodder was saying that they had advantage in melee, hahaha.
Your writing style heavily resembles that of Dark Mirage’s. Sounds a bit random, but is this review sort of influenced by his?
@anon: Thanks for the comment^^
@Q: Not a random question and I can’t say that you’re wrong. I’ve been reading Dark Mirage’s blog for about a year (since the start of Gundam 00). I guess if people were to read a regular episode review, Random Curiosity is enough.
The weird thing is that explosion’s colour is purple for some reasons O_O
LOL @ “So you want me to replace some dead guy just because Sunrise regrets having the balls to actually kill someone?”
sunrise must be getting lots of hate mails from lockon fans.
@Saku: Maybe it has something to do with the intensity of the beam? Purple has the highest frequency of all visible spectrum, dunno, that’s my guess o.o
@Gordon: Yea…It seems like it…But I’d imagine the fans being more pissed because they introduced a cheap knockoff.
