A jolly good ep indeed. Very nice battles, which, mostly, even made sense with strict objectives. The only flaw was how the Zeon ship could leisurely cruise in Earth's orbit for so long without any sort of defense mechanisms pestering them. I guess Earth (and Federation) must be relying on that single ship with its hyper mega particle cannon (what a name!) as its entire space defense forces. Not even a single unmanned orbital defense satellite.

I'd like more scenes with Audrey and Banagher together, though. They make such a cute couple but the story seems intent to keep them separated from each other.
