- Why is Dorlian bringing Relena with him to the colonies when she acted like such an ungrateful bitch the last time? My little sister once gave me attitude when I gave her a ride somewhere and that was the last time I ever chauffeured her ass around.

- Relena's groupies disturb me. Like, a lot.

- Chill, Relena. You just found out you're a princess. \o/?

- Howard! I love that crazy Hawaiian shirt dude.

- "Goodbye, friend Trowa! We'll meet again!" Call me! *phone fingers* Man, Quatre's crushing hardcore.

- Um, Relena's flashback is wrong; Heero was shot in the arm, not the leg. And her earrings are hideous.

- Dr. J is totally creepy. In a "come sit on Granpa's lap, Relena" way. Someone should alert Chris Hansen.

I was always under the impression that he promised to spend time with her when he took her the last time and then defaulted, so she was a bit miffed about that, which is understandable. It wasn't that she was ungrateful for him bringing her it was just that he promised something that he couldn't deliver on.

I think Relena is more freaked out about her father dying than the reveal about her heritage. She can't really process it. I mean if my father was dying and I was with people I didn't know and couldn't trust, I would be pretty freaked too.

Heero was shot twice, in both the arm and the leg, they totally show her doing first aid to both in the second episode. Granted GW tends to miss the ball on some continuity things later on, but this was not one of them.

Maybe it's because I have the American DVDs, because I only saw him get hit in the arm.

I have the American DVDs and I saw both. I always forget the second shot, but it was the one where he was diving to re retrieve the gun and Duo quickly marks back up.

I just capped that episode for icons which so it is a bit fresher in my mind whereas the rewatch did this one three weeks ago.

Your icon is beautiful. ... And I'll watch the episode tonight, when I have time. XD Hopefully I'll make it back to this post afterwards. ♥

I feel that this is the episode where things really get going, everything before this had been all getting to know the principle characters but now the actual plot and events start, which is appropriate because this the first real time where Treize starts making moves (although not by his hand only) and things go to full swing.

I think I always loved the craziness of Dr. J (and the other engineers) crazy old men are always fun.

-I always get a kick out of the pink car that Relena is always in. Pimp mobile to the max.

-I swear they thicken Une's eyebrows in certain scenes. The meaner she's acting, the thicker the eyebrows.

-Relena just walks up to the party in her school outfit....just because ONE dress wasn't ready? Seriously she's so rich there was NOTHING else for her to wear?

-Wufei's lecture on penetration...haha

-Heero, come to the dance! Dance with me so I can ask you to kill me again! (oh, relena, relena, relena)

Are you on the right episode? I think the party is in the next one?

We're on the episode where her father dies and she is on the colony.

gah sorry. I'm not sure how I translated 5 into 6. I fail at life.

To maisontv - "Relena's groupies disturb me. Like, a lot."
I believe that's the general consensus regarding that matter. I-just-whoa. D:

To make things super short: this was the episode that really dragged me into GWing.

I think they bug Relena too, because I think there has always been this implication that she is a part from everybody so they weren't really her friends. Why they have so much adoration for her beyond me unless it is just the fact that she is the Vice Foreign Minister's daughter and they are trying to suck up or something. But Relena never really pays them much mind other than being generally polite with them.

And Relena's friends even call her Relena-sama! If they are her friends, shouldn't the 'sama' be dropped?
