For whatever reason, it didn't grab me at the time.Well we're all in for a treat, now! ^_^
As for the quotes you mention - the odd thing is that they're not from the same episode. "That's bad." Was Captain Gideon's comment on being told that the Comet Empire's secret weapon (That opened a gate to teleport the massive energies of the spinal mount weapon to near point blank range of it's targets! OY!) Though much less powerful than the Earth Fleet's wave motion guns, out-ranged them by at least 2-1. The Comet Empire fleet could just stay at range and pick off the Earth fleet ship by ship at it's leisure.
"That's bad." No shit, Captain Gideon!
Give him some credit though, he did find a way to negate that advantage and then his ship the Andromeda and the rest of the EDF utterly took apart the Comet Empire fleet!
(But then the mothership itself comes in and kinda ruins the whole damn day... )
"Our Earth ... what's to become of her?" Comes from the episode where WIldstar and Desslok have their showdown. Which Desslok wins by default - WIldstar collapsing through bloodloss before either of them can take a shot at the other. The line comes as he is laying on the deck with Nova interposing herself... which leads to one of the greatest face-heel turns of all time on Desslok's part.
Quote:Actually, his eyes look funny to me because they're almost all white; ifYeah - I'm -pretty- sure they're going the same route on that. But not sure by how much.
he's got irises at all, they're hardly larger than way-dilated pupils.
And I looked up the character list on Wikipedia, so I know if that's
accurate and this version doesn't change it, Kodai's irritated
speculation about a "computer human" isn't entirely off the mark.
Quote:Mooses gracious for the run-down on the color-coding. When you spell itAll part of the service. (grin) And remember - this show first began airing during the first of the Tokutatsu and "Shogun Warriors" type of Giant Robot era. You know - the whole "Five fight as one!" Superheroics type thing. RED, BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN, WHITE! (Or pink) You want BRIGHT COLORS? IN YER FACE?
out like that, there aren't as many different combinations as it seemed
to my confused eyes. Although still more, and more obtrusive, than I
would've expected for what's supposed to be all the same military....
Yeah - it could've been a lot worse. Yamato was positively subdued for the time.
