[Dr Kain]

You're right on one aspect, Shinn did have something going for him until Kira took over. I do remember liking Shinn initially, but as the series moved on and Kira took over he became irrelevant and worthless to me. Of course, Destiny is just a mess of a show to begin with. Everything is just ripping off previous Gundam series, but for some reason they felt the need to throw in a clip show ever 5 episodes. Hell, episode 47 is a freaking clip show and the finale is episode 50. Maybe they should have actually spent that time actually make a legitimate episode then they wouldn't have had to redo the final episode as a 45 minute OVA. Add in that there was no mystery to who Not-Zechs was given that the voice actor (Takehito Koyasu, who also did Zechs in Wing) did Mu La Flaga in SEED, and you have one of the most predictable let downs ever. Everyone was acting like it was a big deal and I was just like, "This was obvious from the start."
