I was hoping Shinn would've killed her while she was trying to drown him, that way we could've avoided all the moe.

LOL, the way that Meers is dressed like that in the morning..gigitty

Wow, Stella's like a little girl in this episode. I mean, who would dance like that on a cliff..anyways, I can't wait till the revelation is revealed that they're on the opposite side of the war.

They're going to get trolled hard.

Oh man, Meer is incredibly annoying...no way would Lacus ever even act like that. Lunamaria was annoying in this episode too. She should keep her jealousy to herself, it's leaking everywhere =_= and Stella is...weird. I didn't realize how childlike she was. Agreed that it was weird how anyone can dance on a cliff and then fall off of it too. Seems like she's taken a liking to Shinn. Lol at when Athrun came to rescue Shinn, telling him that he does everything with a bang, even on his day off. I'm glad Athrun and Shinn are getting along now.

It's rare for Athrun to show a lot of emotion on his face, but that is precisely why I loved his reaction when he found Meer in his bed ^^

And I don't really like Lunamaria all that much to be honest. Way too much jealousy there and poorly executed as well. It's better for her to stay away from Athrun anyway. He has me Cagalli to go back to.

Shinn and Stella is just never going to work. This is just an attempt to create additional drama in future episodes. And it's not even subtle about it either.

The Shinn + Stella storyline feels like a complete rehash of the Kamille + Four storyline from Zeta.

You have a girl who cannot remember her past, has emotional outbursts and generally acts crazy all the time, become romantically entwined with the hothead protagonist who wants to protect her and save her. When really she's an ace pilot who will probably have to face said protagonist in combat down the road.

That is was one of the plotlines to Zeta Gundam exactly. Much like everything else that SEED does is a rehash.

Its a necessary part of the Gundam formula.
Someone has to have feelings for someone on the other side, preferably romantic, preferably culminating into an epic mech fight, preferably leaving the survivor scarred or enlightened.
If Kira was more of an Amuro,
Shinn is like a Judau with Kamille tendencies.
Looking forward to see if Stellar will go completely four, or turn puru.

This is the first episode of Destiny that I really liked, the beginning of the episode was shit like all the other episodes before but the last part was so awesome that made up for the shitty beginning of the episode.
I really liked Shinn and Stella.
I hope the show gets better from now on, because I have been making such a big effort not to drop this shit.

(rewatching)

One of the things that annoys me about Athrun, is that he puts up with the "fake Lacus" deception.

Shinn x Stellar

I'll also point out that her name is "Stellar" not "Stella". Sunrise added names to the OP in the HD remaster, so this is quite clear.

I'm sure that edit was really necessary, transforming Meer's regular night gown into a transparent slutty one. Instead of trying to save her character with the remaster, they only made her look even worse.

And lol the Stellar encounter. It hurts seeing this recycle characters and plot from Zeta Gundam. At least Seed did more justice to MSG and didn't suck completely.

I think Lunamaria is being that jealous on purpose so Athrun will notice her.

You're kidding me. Where's the Gundam slap when you need it for Meer?
Lunamarie's starting to annoy me. A shame because I liked her at first. So much salt when there's not any actual food on the plate (there's a sandwich in the fridge though).
This seems familiar; thee old enemy helping the enemy scenario. Hmm hmmm.

I liked the interactions between Shinn and Stella because it kinda showed a different side to Shinn you never really saw before, still not sure what to feel about Stella though since she seems quite...emotionally unstable.

Oh wow so that was the remaster huh, kinda surprised they showed the nipples and everything so it did kinda cross my mind a bit.

Poor Arthrun. These are the people he has to deal with :P

Freakin' Lunamaria with her facial expressions and her jabs at Arthrun. Best facial expressions in SEED history.

Liked the whole Stella and Shinn thing. It's probably one of the only good things about the guy. Just wait until they find it the news about each other... this series has been shipping them hard since the very first episode, when we saw the first OP.

Yeah, the Stellar x Shinn storyline is a massive Zeta rehash; forreal though, this show isn't even trying to hide how uninspired it is.

Also, can Lunamaria calm the fuck down with her jealousy? Last time I checked Athrun wasn't in a relationship with her so he doesn't owe her shit.

I never really understood why Athrun still had to act like he was engaged to Lacus, I thought it was made obvious to the general public in SEED when his father labelled Lacus a traitor? Its just annoying to watch all these girls act like Athrun belongs to them when he clearly has no interest for any of them. Episodes like these remind me why I hated Destiny so much, hate how they murdered AsuCaga :(

The Shinn and Stella storyline is really cute in my opinion. Finally shows a side of Shinn that doesn't make you wanna slap him across the face.

That remastered version of the beginning. Truly a remasterbate version.

Still, I thought they'll use Lunamaria on the scene where Shinn and Stellar are saved since it's Lunamaria who appeared on the Special Edition and not Athrun.

Doesn't Lunamaria know that Athrun isn't engaged to Lacus anymore?

Also, Stellar is a Four clone and Four clones are yucky :/

Poor Stella, she's clearly traumatized and being manipulated. Looks like star crossed lovers to me.

This episode was wild with the fanservice.
When will Athrun explain that he isn't engaged with lacus anymore? It's really annoying.
Stella was cute, i kinda like her.
