It is like she does not have got personality. She changes her opinion in every episode. So yes, she is kind of annoying.

sadly yes, it's slowly withering away any hope of climbing out of cliche.

i also have this strange urge to slap Flay to her damn senses; talk about snapping and being mentally disturbed beyond emotional healing... comforting Kira when he's distraught is one thing, but manipulating his feelings just to prove a point is pure evil regardless of intentions. what a broken realization...

Remastered version combined recap with this episode that was originally full of flashbacks. However, the result wasn't so bad.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Flay has gone from annoying to evil bitch. Call Captain Bright PLEASE! She needs some slapping!!! Its kind of cruel how she's trying to use Kira now and everyone around Kira is becoming more and more racist toward him.

Then there's the whole shuttle incident which rocked him.

And here I thought this was going to be another recap episode going but the start

OK in the remastered it seems they merged chapters 14 and 15 so I was a bit confused. But a fine recap and an intro to a new arc on Earth (in the desert no less. Typical UC Gundam!).

Flay is actually more complex a character than I thought. She mixes despair, and ignorance with a very sophisticated level of manipulation and a strongly developed survival instinct. In a way, despite how despicable her actions may be, she has simply changed from one protector (her father) to another (Kira). Her fiancee Sei is simply too beta a guy to make her feel protected. Flay certainly will move this story along.

Flay is a pro at manipulation. I wonder if she took that trait from her father? In any case, she'd be a "natural" in politics...Okay, okay, I won't do no more puns.

The good news is that Kira is alright and he's back with the Archangel. The bad news is the archangel is smack dab in the middle of enemy territory.

Almost nothing happens in this episode and the narrative is extremely slow, but will be room for dialogue and relationships between the characters, even ascertaining that Flay is a psychopath and even bastard.
I like to serve these moments, so there is also some episodes that do not use aim to entertain the viewers, or fighting in general action scenes.
The new opening than the first, I do not like it much.
Poor Kira, it seems that talk of a thing rather than a person, this is racism.

Kira sure will be easily manipulated by Flay in his current unstable state.

My gosh, I couldn't even tell what was what in this episode for a good first quarter. "Is he in the ship? Is he in the infirmary? Which is it?" Way too many flashbacks-- not very clear ones at that. Now I know what's what, but why cause the confusion in the first place?
I seriously thought this was a recap episode for a little while there.

Then Flay reminds me of one of those undercover racists who smile in the face of minorities but actually wants nothing more than to chop them up in secret. And then watch, by some mighty miracle, she's going to realize that minorities/coordinators aren't so bad. Wouldn't doubt it. Or she'll just die. One of the two.

The concept of coordinator is very similar to of a cyber-newtype, artificially enhanced human beings.

I really liked this episode, it gave us some backstory about why coordinators are so hated. Flay reminds me a lot Katejina from Victory Gundam, so annoying...

Yeah, I gotta agree. Flay is actually pretty entertaining compared to how she was before, thanks in large part to her straight up evil nature. And her slight upgrade in sex appeal doesn't hurt either!

So according to comments the remaster has less episodes. 14 and 15 from the original broadcast are 14 in the remaster I guess.

Yeah, rub in salt in his wounds. Jesus! Flay is more than just obsessed. Her twisted smile while Kira had his ptsd breakdown spoke volumes lmao

He becomes her lapdog for some emotional comfort + her body. That's really a fucked up game she's playing, yet also normal for a woman. In spite of what I wrote, I like Flay's character. She's spicing things up.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
