Gundam 00 episode 11

That scene at the end was one of the most fucked up things I've ever seen on any show. Also, good job to the voice actor(s) who had to pull of the conflicting dialogue of H/Allelujah.

Oh hey, look a space colony. They have those in this universe?

That line from the professor at the beginning of this episode "To stop the seeds of war from going into space" I think perfectly sums up this series. Gundam 00 is a story more about getting humanity to space rather then the conflicts while being in space. Some people complain about the lack of colonies in this series but personally I think that's what makes this unique. Its not your typical "Rogue Spacenoids vs Earth government" conflict. Plus, I view the space colonies conflicts as differing ideologies between people, and those happen all the time now.

Now that I'm rewatching the show, I also notice a lot more foreshadowing. Just, some of the things the characters say set me off to go, "Uh huh, that's definatley gonna happen."

Episode 12

Defintley the weakest episode so far. Doesn't men it was bad, but Marina's plot taking up so much time kinda annoys me. It didn't feel like anything changed the world stage this episode, let alone the characters. But it can't be amazing every episode.

Episode 13

Did this really need to be a two parter?

Episode 14

This was such a heavy plot set up episode that there was literally no action. It was still a good episode. The destinies of the 3 world groups and celestial being are about to intertwine. I am glad that the show gave examples of change, because with a series like Gundam about changing the world, you kinda just assume what the characters say are what's going on. Here, they have behavioral patterns and statistics.

But oh my god, there was so much foreshadowing in this episode its hilarious. That entire conversation between Ms. Sumeragi and that Union guy was so peppered with dramatic irony, references to Gundam Wing and foreshadowing I couldn't take it.

I should also mention the new opening and ending themes. I never cared for the ending themes. And from here on out the opening themes get worse and worse. Daybreak's bell was the best one and it should have been the theme for the entire series. Granted, they shouldn't keep that same visuals but keep the music.
