Questions... is Kugel actually alive in there? Could Chamber tell if he was? Or is he dead and just being video play for his Caliber?

Came to my mind as well.

Not surprised that they he (or Striker) wants to send him to Gargantia. I hope Ledo will soon realize that things are wrong and will fight back. I mean of course he will, but I hope it's sooner than later.
I also wonder why the pirate queen and her subordinates don't have the tattoo on their forehead.

I found the reason for choosing Pinion ridiculous. Oh, he can put a stick into a hole, he passed the test. WOW, he is like, such a pro :S

Yeah. Why is the whoever pirate back? Never liked her. She should have stayed away, I don't see how she is anymore relevant other than bringing her back just for the sake of it, unless they planned to reveal something we don't know yet about her later.

I dont know I wanted pinion to feel a little more bad for the dick he was an episode ago. Seems that was just brushed away. Also yea wouldint call this a happy society and it looks like shit is about to hit the fan with ledo having to make a choice.

Rackage and her girls not having the mark can not be explained away that easily - both Pinion and Flange got rather forcefully marked within like 5 minutes of physically meeting those guys. Why whould they stay "novice" or whatever for days, weeks or even months?

Also about Striker acting independently: Chamber did go against a direct order of Ledo once, and we also know that the pilot does not necessarily have access to all things his "pilote support system" has, as Ledo hat to convince Chamber of the fact that he was the highest ranking officer around before Chamber allowed him access to the data from the facility. Who knows what else is hidden behind additional authorization or by simply not mentioning it to the pilots or both.

And seeing the overall technology level and what those pilot support systems *can* do, i do not really see it as in issue for the GA to create a full AI, or at least one sufficiently sophisticated that it can fool people.

Heck, even chat bots that only repeat what other people said can fool people, and the pilot support systems *are* capable of learniing, as Chamber basically just said - he made his own conclusion based on the fact.

And who's to say that while Kugel might be dead now, that he didn't give Striker specific orders regarding how to proceed? Maybe even prerecorded some videos, though both voice and image shouldn't be hard to produce for the pilot support systems, given years if not decades of samples in all kinds of situations. Heck, it simple has to cut up the image and voice recordings and mash them together, no actual producing involved.

Dick commander is a dick. I don't think he's dead, I just think he's a dick, but we shall see. Another really good episode, kind of love this series!

A bit of a boring episode somehow, only some informations about Kugel basically. So he gets worshipped like a god and wants to expand his fleet. Looks like Ledo will fight on the side of Gargantia in the end though.

So Kugel used the Galactic Alliance's societal policies as a reference point for his pseudo-religious cult of personality when founding his own fleet, and now he wants to "expand his influence" (i.e., direct command) over other fleets, like the Gargantia. Obviously when you look at the lifeless, exploitative slums that Kugel's fleet are composed of, this isn't a good thing. I think whether there's any hope for Gargantia will ultimately come down to if and when Ledo separates himself from the Galactic Alliance's purview, before Kugel can annex it.

... Why was it necessary to stay radio silent?

And Ledo is just blindly listening to his commander? Did he just immediately forget everything he saw...

Are we just going to ignore that Ledo was totally on board with whatever plan the commander had until her noticed Gargantia was involved... Ugh

And I hate to break it to you Melty, but I hate Pinion, and I hope he dies soon. I think I hate most characters in this show at this point really, but the end is so close that I may as well just finish it and be done with it forever
