Sand mole my ass! That's sandworms straight out of Dune, even the method of luring it was almost the same like the thumper. Come to think of it the Quaint might as well be Arrakis and the Quaintian, Fremen. :D

I have to agree with Chirico's thoughts on why Quaint don't have weapons themselves, and they don't fight in Quaint so maybe they send their people as mercenaries off-world to vent their aggression there? The Emissary last episode also said as people (that's coming from the best mercenary people in the galaxy) they love peace, that's just weird. Killy in this episode seems to be afraid of the Quaintian's legacy himself which intrigues me further.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

The twins are idiots! After talking so much about Chirico being vulnerable without an AT what do they do? They attack him with ATs. OF COURSE he's going to steal one and own them! xD

So after all that talk about the Quaintians, their village is that easily destroyed? Like, "oops", just like that?

So that little heretic line at the beginning basically confirmed my suspicions, the society is some kind of religious order, remember Borough's priest outfit and Kanjejman's religious rebels.

Considering how obsessed they are with the idea of modifying humans, perhaps their trying to create a god or something.

I get the feeling that the Quentians were meant to be a combination of the Fremen and the Gurkha.

Also, now Chirico has an AT. Ho, ho, ho.

Those twins with the squire haircuts are getting on my nerves.

They're almost at the village.
