Wow... So many things to talk about here.

According to
CDJapan, the new single should be available in a store...... incredibly far away from me, April 13th.(This Wednesday) I like the song very much. Just as good as Pride, I think.
*As of note, the new ending (Rie Fu - I wanna go to a place) will debut NEXT week on GSD*
*EDIT: I found a PV Rip of the full opening 3. If you're as impatient as I am, and can't wait till later this week, PM me and I'll hook you up*
Now, once again, more stuff is going on in the opening:
A. Nu-Freedom and Justice. The sexiest Gundams in the show
B. Mwu La Flaga (or Neo, I honestly dont know) in the starting sequence of the OP
C. Athrun better be careful, or he wont even appear in the next opening with all those girls on the screen. PIMP.
D. The 3rd guy in the scene where Athrun is walking away from a half-naked Cagalli (Nice
) is Kiaska. Hadnt seem him in sometime, and it looks like he'll get a Zaku.
E. Blue Gouf Ignited. Just felt like pointing that out.
Ok, onto the episode now...
The meeting between Athrun/Kira/Lacus/Cagalii had signifigance, but the talks were essentially a bust. It's really hard to tell who's right and who's wrong. Both have very valid reasons for taking their side. Personally, I have to take Kira's side in all of this, with a couple reservations. Who knows, maybe Athrun is walking the right path. But, it'll take awhile before we know the Chairman's true intentions. I was a bit peeved at Athrun for not mentioning one word about the ring. He just stared at it and got nervous. Way to go, Athrun
Although it didnt seem like it, Rey played a big part in this episode. It would look like Gilbert was talking to Rau in that flashback, and Rey watching on. That's how Rey got so giddy when he met the Chairman back in episode 19, I would imagine.
The EA enhanced humans. We learn Auel's word is "Mother", and we hear it directly from him. And now Shinn knows Stellar is a EA pilot. In my opinion, this story is just as interesting as the whole Kira/Athrun ordeal. And seriously, what the hell was Lunamaria doing in the middle of that battle. I was scared something would happen to her
w00ps. Sorry about the spoilers.
