I think I see a Voldorian-shaped hole in Delta Squardon's formation. I wonder if Alberto's the man to fill it?

Because Makina's got way more pull than the show lets on, and she won't have Haya-Haya's mess rubbing off on the other pilots.

...Maybe she'll be more lenient now.

While we're on the topic, the 31-series has pinpoint barriers right? Why aren't they all around the cockpit?! He took the full force of an Sv-262's main cannon while in GERWALK, then took multiple small rounds to the top of the fuselage moments before the fatal shot; the last of those small rounds ...

Well, 7 can't be that bad... can it?

Remember, we had ketchup in IBO. Like, MAD KETCHUP. And what's that? They just had an obliterated sandwich? OK! No problem! They ain't dead till they're buried dead. Are you talking about Azee and Lafter? If so, you're talking about bloody uniforms and one excruciatingly-painful-but-relatively-mino...

I'm not trying to shame anybody into pretending that they liked her all along. I'd feel better if people at least knew what happened. I can at least make sure that nobody will regret saying it. Oh, that's fine, I appreciate the gesture and I don't mean to imply shaming on your part. It just so happ...

Chiaki Morosawa died only three months ago from heart disease. I didn't know that, but I think that (somewhat perversely) reinforces my Messer-deadness metaphor. You don't end an episode by turning a cockpit into the inside of a ketchup bottle and having two characters "SNAKE!", six chara...

The odds of survival are closer to Michel's than Ozma's. Unless Mitsuo Fukuda and Chiaki Morosawa hijack the studio, he's dead.

Of course this presents a much bigger narrative problem: no one but Messer was able to stand up to Keith, so with Messer gone there is no way Delta platoon can win any battle. Obviously someone is gonna have to step up and deal with it, but the question is who, how, and will it feel like an asspull...

Nothing else really connecting it to the MCU has happened. What about that time they called in the Avengers on von Strucker's compound? And how else would we know there's enough SHIELD remnants to hide a Helicarrier? And that one comment from Vision in Civil War? ...And that's about where the conne...

The more this show goes on, the more I'm in love with the -31. As much as I loved the -25's retro sleekness and the -29's sheer badassery, I think of the main Valks in the last couple of series, the -31 is well on its way to being my personal favorite. The VF-25 was previously my favorite, as it lo...

With the clarification about Tau drives and the tuning of GN Particles, my current understanding is that True GN Drives function like this: TD Blanket -Baryonic decay products-> GN Generation Furnace -GN Particles-> GN Condenser ____ l _____________________________ '-GN Particles-> Flywheel -> Main ...

Wow, Roid has quite the collection of glasses @ 12:50. Bogue continues to drink the Kool-Aid. At this point, I'm half expecting him to "Oh Yeah!" his way right on through the (fourth?) wall before series' end. I've got to say, this was the episode that finally cemented my dislike for Messe...

as in GN Condenser? Ehmmm... Yes, though I never feel comfortable calling it that. Every real-world condenser I can think of primarily serves as the means of reducing enthalpy, which is needed to facilitate a Rankine cycle (sustainability) in a closed thermodynamic system. Without a real-world cond...

Is it bad that I want Hermann to die because that would be the surest herald of Bogue's imminent demise? I mean, I feel like that's bad, but, Bogue!

Yeah, I've been suspicious of Mikumo's heritage(?) ever since we learned that Windermereans had exceptional physical capabilities. Or the character backgrounds mentioned on Page 12, whichever came first. She's far and away the most physically active during battleformances (to the point that I posite...

2nd concern, and this is a big one, is that rumors are spreading that AoS may be written off out of the MCU canon. Also, Rise of the Inhumans, which seemed to be the upcoming movie most closely associated with events in AoS and originally scheduled for 2018, has seemingly been canceled/postponed un...

I would guess, given how disastrous previous experiment(s) with fully-autonomous AI ended up being, that the drones used by the Drakens are only semi-autonomous at best, and primarily controlled from the Draken itself by the pilot - similar to later-generation Ghost UAVs, such as Luca and his Gospe...

To edit my post from the News section to make it applicable here: Elder Voldorian: Then what are you doing at those ruins? Roid: Just academic research. EV: I forgot you were a scientist as well. I have read your papers on the Protoculture. "The last humanoid races the dying Protoculture gave b...
