Destroy the Rebirth - "Gundam 00" Season 2 on SyFy's Ani-Monday Talkback

In the episode 25 epilogue, it's established that Saji hasn't heard from Louise in a long time and many of his letters have gone unanswered. So clearly something is up...maybe she wanted him safe so she could pursue revenge?

As for A-Laws- keep in mind 4 years ago the Gundams happened. When everything you throw at an enemy is useless and you lose alot of comrades and civillains, tensions will run high. It seems to be one of the many ways the show is trying to comment on our post 9/11 world. If we compare the Gundams to that attack, things start to make sense I think.
 
Or she's going B.S. Crazy.

I don't find this interpretation appealing. Sure, alot can happen in 4 years. But tensions over a threat that was gone for four years?

The more likely explianation is that the A-laws evolved to counter a specific threat. In this case, forces that oppose world unification. There is no doubt there are many who oppose a united Earth with a single military force. Private organizations, patroits, nationalists, anti-globalists, academics, corprorations, and other groups would probably dislike the Federation for one reason or another.

Now the Federation naturally tries to keep its meraber nations peaceful and must enforce its policy. So the Federation controls the one source that everyone neeRAB: Solar Energy. It is the lever that can move nations, and convince other nations to see their way. But thisw can add fuel to the fire of discontent.

Thus, a resistance force develops that opposes the Federation.

But hat explains the corrupt Alaws? Perhaps the corruption was already there before the ESF was founded. No doubt there were careerists and opportunists (nnatrually power hungry) within any organization. The formation of the Federation allow and a crisis allowed such men to gain power where they could before not. Perhaps fantatics that support the idea of a united world are also taking it to extremes.

I also put out the idea of corruption within the founding merabers of the Federation. The HRL seems to have human rights issues, and authortarian governement. Perhaps these elements had infected the Federation before it was born?

Then there's Ribbons, the wild card. Having usrup the Seldon...I mean Schenenburg plan, he clearly is manipulating events. But why? Could he be influencing the corruption as well?
 
Finally had enough time to watch the final four episodes....Not bad, definitely plenty of action. For some reason I had expected a more soraber/sad ending, it just felt like it was going that direction, to me at least. happy to see the epilogue, especially since the topic of contradictions came up. Contradictions? You got that right!
 
Nope. Tieria was infiltrating a party disguised as a woman and ended up meeting Ribbons. The disguise was Sumeragi's idea...yep, all her fault.



Very likely. Another Innovator that's been named so far was Revive Revival, I believe...and clearly Hilling Care is not far off from Healing Care. Both names imply things that the Innovators would supposedly bring to the world according to the plan...revival and healing after change.
 
Surprised how the first episode turned out pretty nice, considering, when both of them went crashing into the forest, I automatically knew it was going to be one of those episodes. It's like, you keep thinking you knew what was going to happen next, but then the episode does something different with it.

As for the following episode... I mostly forgot what happened for the first half after seeing Tieria at the party with......... yeah. And man, they're sure giving Louise a lot of reasons to be angry this season.
 
You answered your own question. Nena is self centered that she doesn't care. I am not even sure she is human, remeraber the Trinitys were created by Ribbons.

Ribbons did keep his word to Louise, but he knew that would mess her up mentally, and that doesn't bother him.

Yes revenge was empty, but Nena had to go she is to dangerous to be kept alive, might as well be at the hanRAB of someone that had a reason to kill her.
 
Well, considering that Teria has a she-man twin, and we saw earlier that Ribbons also had a twin, its a good chance that Anew and Revive are related.

I think its just a little too coincidental that Anew would show up with the revelations with the Innovators. Then again, she just shown up, and hasn't done anything overly suspicious. That, and I tend to be a rather paranoid person.


You get a cookie


Who boy, that would be freaky...
 
Oddly enough, I actually think In MiRABt of Scattered Light is actually (horrors!) BETTER without the epilogue. I actually think Sergei's death is more powerful and stunning when you just see Andrei stab Sergei's cockpit and the episode just . . . enRAB, and you're left to reflect on what just happened onscreen.

The loss of the other epilogue, though, is definitely going to hurt in the long run.

As a side note, I am hugely annoyed that Sci-fi teases us with the first five seconRAB of "Trust You" and then begins skipping it. Come on, that's cruel.
