28 ideas?!

I liked it. A lot. Awesome Quatre is too rare.

Noin lacked the necessary authority

That was interesting. You'd think she'd have plenty of authority, having been an instructor at Lake Victoria and all, but I suppose gundam pilots are particularly hard to keep in line. :P Trowa would probably be the only one to see the sense in fighting in formation and follow her lead, authority or no.

28. I have a long list that I dig into from time to time. Who knows, maybe I'll manage to write them all?

I adore Noin, I really do, she's a fantastic pilot and a good instructor, but she never struck me as someone with the right temperament to make a very good commander. Quatre, on the other hand, could make houseflies fly in formation.

*nod* That's pretty close to my own impression of Noin. She's obviously capable, but... seems reluctant to make independent decisions. Given her skill, courage, insight and resourcefullness, I think she'd do fine in a leading role as long as she wasn't too high up in the ranks. If that makes any sense.

I really liked that. Damn good look at Quatre.

[ingvild]

It is an interesting part of his character.

This is a really good insightful look at Quatre. I love the crossover at the end. Hmmm, that has potential. I'd like to see that, actually.

[ingvild]

I can't decide who I want him to meet the most: Kilowog or Guy Gardner.

I always thought this possible of Quatre, and your assessment of Heero, Trowa, Wufei, Duo and Noin especially, is spot on. Noin is smart and capable, a great teacher but ultimately not a leader. I think Heero learned to harness Zero as well, but not in the way that Quatre did.
