    You're right about Chris. She really is an underated pilot. She spent more time fighting the Gundam's _controls_ than she did fighting the enemy. Imagine fighting in a shootout on horseback with a horse that was bucking wildly and _still_ managing to keep yourself steady. That's what the Alex was to Chris.

      @@bombomos Yes to both. The Alex was designed for newtype use, but, since the Federation wasn't doing remote weapons yet, they had to settle for making a regular mobile suit built for the faster reaction time of a newtype. This results in a machine that could handle a newtype pilot, but is borderline unusable for an oldtype. It's kind of like trying to play an FPS with your mouse sensitivity cranked up to maximum.

    No, Gundam Seed Destiny was not sabotaged by behind the scenes high school-esque drama. The show was undercut by the series head writer being hospitalized and recovering from multiple serious illnesses while the show was being made, with her having only completed an overall outline for the series and possibly some early episode scripts. Seed Destiny had an entire team of writers who absolutely dropped the ball. Cagalli got shafted by the pinch hitters, not Morosawa.

    The big question is does Cima count? In the Stardust anime, the Gerbera Tetra it's built from the GP04 Gundam Gerbera and the manga further suggests that the "change" to the Gerbera Tetra was done to disguise the fact that it was a gundam development project unit given to Zeon remnants by Anaheim.
    If we consider it a disguised gundam, I'd say Cima definitely counts.

    You could say that Rita Bernal IS the Phenex, since it's apparently still running around out there, and it largely seems to even have its own motivations. The fact that Rita can't directly communicate kinda sucks (you need to be a Newtype on the level of Amuro or Char to be able to do the brain-wave link thing), but she's definitely still out there. Have to wonder how she's still going though, even a Minovsky Ultracompact Fusion Reactor has to refuel eventually.
    Marie Parfacy (who I assume you've waved off due to technically being the Harute's co-pilot), DID actually pilot a Gundam on her own. The GN Archer, despite not having Gundam in its name, IS a Gundam. It is in fact a retool of the abandoned GNY-0042-874 Gundam Artemie. The only reason it doesn't look like a Gundam is due to modifications to the head (the visor covers up the original face (it's still there), and the Artemie's aerials are still poking up out of the top of the modifications, just repainted white. The transformation so it can dock with the Arios is a later modification, and the Archer can still use a GN drive - if there was one to spare. The only reason why it was modified to run in tandem with the Arios is because there isn't a spare drive. The condenser that is used instead only allows it to remain undocked for half an hour, allegedly. The daft thing is, if they hadn't left a drive with the 0 Gundam, or if Hanayo (the Artemie's pilot) hadn't ditched it, the Artemie might have still been around without its weird modifications.

    As a Bloody Valentine enjoyer, Lunamaria is a total babe in my eyes. If only it was a different writer in charge, she could've been Destiny's best girl. For some reason, I wish the Savior was hers. Taking down Djibril would've been easy plus its her colour scheme. Then there's Riika Sheder though she's only a test pilot for the Gaia, don't think her being barely 5 ft tall means she doesn't have what it takes to be a pilot. Despite her disability (she's blind actually but a special device in the shape of a pair of glasses enables her to put out her full potential) she could climbing up the ranks and wear that coveted red uniform! Also, had it been a different writer and director, Cagalli or one of the Astray girls, who survived the last war, coming in the Strike Rouge saving Lacus and Kira. I miss the old Cagalli. To me, statecraft is still too early for her. At best she could do is run an interim postwar government until Orb elects a new leader that is.
    If anything, story should've keep the focus on the Minerva, plus Luna could've been fleshed out even more perhaps her backstory. Cosmic Era got a lot of potential but never really executed properly most of the time.
