Meer really ends being just a bitch toy in the hands of chairman Durandal... At least for now
I wonder the way they hack into system.

Athrun will never recover at this rate lol. I like how Kira tells Meyrin that asking Athrun if he's okay is not the right question to ask since Athrun will always answer that he's okay. Seriously love their friendship. And it's true what Kira says about how people take things for granted during peace time, but that's really for everything too. Things are always taken for granted.

And I laugh at the end. Go Lacus! Show everyone who is the real one. Seriously, the real Lacus Clyne would never go as far as to claiming people are evil or for others to be destroyed. I just wonder how people will react.

Forgot to mention, that scene between Neo Mu and Murrue was lovely, though kind of cliche. But still cute. Mu x Murrue is back!!!

An awesome episode! Athrun actually managed to disable Shinn even while being injured. Glad to see Mr. Ace Pilot is finally back. Orb's not going to burn with him, Kira and the archangel around.

And speaking of Orb, Cagalli was giving a superb speech before she got cut off by Meer >:(

Finally! I get to see the look of surprise Durandal's face! I loved that part. Way to go Lacus, not many people can shut Durandal up! It was about time this fake Lacus issue got sorted out.

I loved the Mu x Murrue scene as well. Too bad Mu hasn't completely recovered his memories yet. I really hope they come back.

About time the real Lacus stepped into this mess. Of course Durandal had to find another way to take out Orb, but he did not count on the real Lacus coming back.

And then there's also the Djibril problem...but hey at least Yuna is dead.

Eh... Another episode has passed without Kira killing Shinn. What are you waiting for Kira, just do it. Do the world a favor.

Took her long enough to do something about the fake Lacus.

(rewatching) (HD remaster Ep42)

I would have preferred if the Saviour had been rebuilt instead. It would have been so much better to watch Athrun beat Shinn with that instead of the overpowered Justice.

I wonder why Lacus took this long to expose the fake Lacus for, maybe she waited for the best timing, Lacus can be quite cunning like that.

At the end, the Archangel team all agree to stop the Chairman.

Guys, guys, plz. Can you get your priorities right? You should be stopping Djibril, the guy who just fking killed a few million people a few minutes ago...
At least Durandal's got good intentions >.< So take him out later, negotiate or something.

Ok, let's be honest. We ALL wanted that bastard Djibril dead after this episode, more than ever before. He's worse than Azrael from SEED!

Why is everyone so hung up on Durandal when Djibril is literally the number one threat for everyone? Like someone else said, you can always take out Durandal later.

Also, Lacus sure took her sweet time stepping up.

This may be a really ridiculous to reply an old post.

Well if she acted way earlier without even knowing Durandal's plan, she'll end up like how Kira and the Archangel made a confusion on their first appearance yet they're clueless on what's happening just like what Athrun kept saying to them and if it's gets worse for them they'll get destroyed just like what happened on episode 34. I believe the timing for Lacus to show up is right given she just recently finds out the Destiny Plan and look, it completely worked and Durandal's tilted.

Lol at all the drama with people interrupting broadcasts, like having a discord discussion. Imagine being a civilian like, "can someone just tell me what the hell is going on and if we're all going to die? i need to know whether to pay my bills or drink myself silly and wait for the end."

I loved the double twist at the end of the episode, finally lacus reveal herself and i hope this will be the weapon to use against Durandal and his propaganda.
Mu and Ramius are always so cute, i love them, as i love Kira and Athrun's friendship.

I dislike how the show is trying to make me think that ZAFT is the bad guy here when the archangel pretty much just came and protected djibril from being captured. Pretty much all of the archaengel's participation in this war has been standing by and then jumping in and causing more problems. Say what you want about Durandal and his morally questionable methods, djibril is easily the far larger threat to the entire world. Not to mention that they're trying to rehabilitate neo, a war criminal and child experiment performer, just because he's possibly a clone of mu. From the very start, the archangel should've been teaming up with ZAFT to stop the earth forces and hunt down logos. Let's not forget that the opponents in this war, the atlantic Federation, are literally genocidal towards coordinators and want to destroy the plants, why is the show demonizing ZAFT for fighting a defensive war against an adversary that wants to genocide them. In SEED, Zaft was actually bad because chairman zala wanted to destroy earth and genocide naturals, meanwhile Durandal's government is nothing like that. Its just extremely stupid at this point, and just a circle jerk about how perfect and infallible orb and the archangel are for being "neutral".

Ok, that double broadcast interruption was just stupid. Also, maybe I misunderstood something, but how could Lacus appear in one room with Cagalli, if she just was with Kira listening Meer? Were they in the adjacent rooms?

Say what you want about Durandal and his morally questionable methods, djibril is easily the far larger threat to the entire world.

The idea they try to convey is that Durandal is really dangerous, because he has a huge potential to become a biggest dictator in the history, pretending that he's just making sacrifices for a better world.
However, it's still mostly educated guesses (although thanks to Lacus they may already have some proofs). From the other side, his demands to Orb seemed quite reasonable, considering that Djibril is already a clear villain and Orb actions in this war up to this point were far from friendly.
So I can understand how Shin, Luna and Gladys keep trusting the chancellor. And Arthrun words, such as "You're being manipulated" don't really help to clear the confusion, that's just a claim not better than the opposite ones, made by Rey.
