#GundamAGE ep11: I got a somewhat bad Four Murasume vibe from Flit's encounter with Yurin. #anime 

Seeing as how Newtypes and Cyber-Newtypes are the only things I can
compare the UE to, tha's the best comparison I can come up with for
now. Those moments between the two seemed a little bit rushed. But
the alternative probably would've been two episodes without any real
action in a row.

It looks like the Feddies aren't completely hands off when it comes to
this situation. They can't afford to send any soldiers to help take
care of the UE, but they definitely have spare time and resources to
court-martial a rogue commander. They're right there to get in the
way of Grodek's plans.

Which brings up something that baffles me. I don't see why the crew
helping him would be rebels and accomplices now, when they've been
helping him all this time. Sure, the Feddies might not have known
they were willing participants, but that still seems to reasonable for
how the Earth governments usually handle these situations. I'm
expecting a little more corruption and sloth here.

Finally, it seems we have quite a bit of sexual attraction brewing on
the ship. A pair of love triangles even. It makes me a bit weary
because depending on how dark the show wants to be, these things can
be farmed and cultivated for later emotional currency and shock value
down the line. I can almost guarantee that it's been done in every
major Gundam series aired. Darker shows like Zeta and Victory abused
this technique. I think only G Gundam (unless you count the man-love
between Domon and Master Aisha) avoided pulling this trick.
