"Infiltrate the Enemy's Fleet and Land"

Ok, ok. Inflitrating once was pretty dangerous in and of itself, but twice is just plain stupid. Before that though, I loved the huge space battle at the beginning of this ep. I was on the fence about this show up until this point, with all the weird mecha designs (a motorcycle battleship?) and all that boring time spent on Earth. But a good space battle will always wake me back up. Uso kicked @$$ this episode and has definitely developed his own unique style, that even Oliver has begun to emulate by using the detachable parts of the Victory Gundams as diversions, extra cover and firepower and even as weapons!

I should've known another Shrike team pilot was gonna catch some hell. She barely survives the battle and now they have the bright idea to go BACK to the colony Amelia to get her some help. I don't understand, weren't only her legs badly damaged or burned? And didn't Marbet say that she was stable? Then why go through all that trouble to get her to a doctor in Zanscare territory?

It doesn't take long for the plan to be shot to hell and Uso is left ASKING the Queen to be a hostage/shield(que?). I thought this episode went from great to very strange.

Argh Uso is the most annoying main of Gundam so far.

It's funny, it used to be that the earth battles were the exciting ones, but in victory gundam the space battles are the more exciting ones. Anyways, I like where this series is headed, even though it's not so great right now.

Well Peggy isn't going to last another episode the preview pretty much spoiled that. Nice ending to this episode got me real excited to see what happens next.

I was pretty sure Peggy would die on this episode, but I guess we'll have to wait one more episode to see her dead body.

I'm really not interested in this series. It's getting boring, but I'll keep seeing this.

Will Maria go with Uso? lol

I think we need more episodes with character development.

I'm seriously starting to think this is just plain stupid. They infiltrated with the Gundam...a white mobile suit that sticks out like a sore thumb next to all that red, a military place full of warships and soldiers that even has the queen present and no one notices? How?!
Are there no guards or is just everyone watching the inside of their eye lids?
And he even gets that close to the queen...you would think she would have body guards that are trained to notice little red dots on her and jump infront of a bullet while shooting back at the attacker...but they can't react to a kid flying towards their queen.
Imagen if someone sent an actual assassin after her.

Really? He's probably one of my favorites.

Wow, that was a really interesting ending. I wonder if she actually decides to come with Uso.

The so-called Empire has not even annexed/conquered every colony of his Side? XD

Oliver starting to use the nonsensical "Uso style" to fight in a V-gundam? Yeah, nice idea, better have a shortage of spare elements rather than more full MS to fight with.

A stupid infiltration, how could an adult even think about it so shortly after Uso & co, did it?? And no one thought about the Gundam's colours (while doing smthng for the other suit)

... and a bold "queen-napping"? What was Uso even thinking? o_O "Please, be a nice Queen and come with me." Sure... and then, why did he left Shakti then?!

I was certain Peggy wouldn't survive this episode. Are they learning bluff?

2/5 Slowly turning into Zeta's opposite: engaging battles and annoying events, non-existant story, etc. (almost no physical punishment)

Funny thing, my main problem is that I have no idea of the series goals.

I'm sorry, but none of those 24 minutes made a lick of sense to me : the infiltration plan was beyond dumb and certainly not something I would've expected to come from Marbet of all people, Peggy being an idiot and leaving the ship when she was injured and her Zoloat was half-destroyed, Oliver wasting more V parts on the battlefield, Uso being careless as ever, the pointless queen-napping etc. etc.

Everyone was acting like complete retards in sync this episode.

Brightslaps endured by Uso (even if only two) are much more powerful that anything that came before in the UC timeline, lol. Punch violence! Also what was that playful slap from Peggie lol.

Also noticed that the show keeps using the "kick the enemy mobile suit's head off" tactic more and more xD Though I'm not sure whether that topples shooting Gundam parts into enemy ships haha (wasting of resources!). Or throwing beam sabers into the enemy? It looks fun but just shooting is more reliable and faster lol.

That whiny guy turned out to be a "fake" leader of the rebels, oh wow

I keep noticing that Chronicle's voice kinda doesn't fit to be a villain. He's so...I don't know...not evil xD Can't really explain but I like how he sounds, even when he's seen screaming in battle he's not very "villainish". Almost like he's always speaking in a pretty collected manner. Or maybe exhausted?

Gotta appreciate how they linked Peggy's leg injury to her mobile suit's legs being cut off.

The idea with Uso "infiltrating" the enemy ship was dumb though, who's gonna believe that there's a kid on a *military* ship searching for his parents?

but they can't react to a kid flying towards their queen.
Imagen if someone sent an actual assassin after her.

haha true
"Please, be a nice Queen and come with me." Sure... and then, why did he left Shakti then?!

Gundam logic. Now he's probably planning to use the Queen to get Shakti back.

One of the best episode so far. I'm glad everyone is working as a team. Peggy could die in the next episode!
