Budget Cutbacks.....

Looks like the Feddies are really having to cut back on armor for their Mobile Suits... Best comment: "Finally revealed: the reason the ZERO System drives the pilot insane is that this image is implanted into the brain every two seconds."

And for the first non-admin entry...contentious declarations! Gooo!!

...noticed with the EFA is that a lot of its broader actions are effectively being dictated to it. Its losses, and (importantly) also its wins, feel like they've been mapped out so far in advance that the Feddies are essentially being led along on a leash and told to lose this base, take this hill, win here, lose here, sit up, fetch, play dead, etcetera.

...-esque little Andrei. It mentioned again the idea that Papa Bear got Holly killed somehow, and I'm hoping they explore that a little more in the upcoming episode. Clever idea to let the rebel Feddies think they scored a victory by letting them take over the elevator while in fact getting them all into one place to kill them a bit more efficiently. You think Hercules would have thought about that ...

I wonder how those Feddies stand all that armor. [Lei] Since we're still stuck babysitting Oersted, how about you teach me some of those moves you used back in Lucretia.
