[2ndSndWve]

So, I decided to subject myself to more Gundam 00 (I'm up to ep. 20 now), and the biggest problem I've had so far with this show has come up: why the hell didn't the series start with the introduction of the Thrones? The conflict between Celestial Being and Trinity is far more interesting than the first 15 episodes of the story. There should've just been three or four episodes to establish the Gundam Meisters, then the Trinity should've immediately appeared. These last five epsiodes have been better than everything before them (for the first time, I actually wanted to watch one episode after another finished) and this show's gone from less than ok to pretty great. Tieria's been less of a dick, there was the bombshell that was Louise's ENTIRE family getting killed, there's less exposition, and the overall pacing of the show is far better.
