That battle looked so awkward between those two ..

Dat song and flashback though. That kinda made the episode up for me. The fight was cheesy and I wasn't into it all.

Don't like how they treat EX1 - he saved their lives and they'd implanted this dangerous thing into him...

Liked it


Upsides:

  • Again, I love Sue.
  • That Progressive Alien power was pretty sick.
  • I strangely enjoyed the sound effects used for the P. Alien.
  • The commander and Soma can both seems insensitive, immoral and selfish, but both have different reasons. It's different than 'every one is nice except of this one guy'.


Downsides:

  • The nuclear thingy on EX-1's head is clearly for the plot. It makes not much sense otherwise.
  • I still can't relate to Soma's deep passion on avenging Maki, because I don't get their relation. Were they friends? Best friends? Lovers? Flirted together?
  • Related to that, I find every flashbacks of Maki pointless. They don't add up to anything.


I like how most of the team is slowly starting to realize that EX-1 is maybe more than a brute of an Alien. Strangely enough, I feel for that character even though he doesn't have a single line. Props to the writers for that.

I have to wonder what Maki saw in Takuto? He's kind of an asshole most of the time, aside when it comes to their apparent shared passion in space/the space program he was formerly a part of.

These aliens get more overpowered every episode. This one could essentially turn invulnerable at will. Maybe Frank and Hattie should side with them instead.
