![]() Earlier in the episode he seemed angry and frustrated that all eyes were on Minmei - "AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT!" - while the war raged on. It's interesting that as the battle rages, Kyle tells everyone to stay calm, butts in seats, because the Minmei concert is going to go on. (4) The animation of the Veritech pilots racing to their fighters is from as far back as "Transformation" Rick in particular is from "Bursting Point." Lisa tells Rick to be careful, the sole hint of their time together last episode, and Rick dismisses it and thinks of Minmei. I assume Exedore believes the Micronians know where it is, and the Zentraedi will be able to get them to disclose this information, at gunpoint if necessary. This is the first time that somebody besides the narrator has mentioned it, and Exedore doesn't even use the same term. The one thing I don't get is that Exedore says they can then capture some Micronians and seize "the Protoculture generator." I suppose he's referring to the Protoculture Factory. It's only right that this one be so brilliant, since it's the last major operation Exedore will set into motion before Breetai's fleet switches sides. It's a plan even Khyron can love, since it allows him to wreak mayhem on the ship. Goad them into using a Daedalus attack and, before the Destroids can launch their volley, wipe them out and storm the ship via the Daedalus arm. It also plays right into the hands of the defectors, giving them easy access to their goal. (5) Exedore's plan in this episode is brilliant, using the SDF-1's tactics against the ship and its crew. I just don't get Lisa really buying into what he's selling. Her infatuation with Kyle is solely because she sees Karl in him, but would he be spouting the same nonsense garbage? Does she honestly believe that? I get that she's still harboring this bizarre fixation Kyle's gotten himself mixed up in her feelings for her dead lover. Karl Riber didn't like fighting, but he was a member of the military he didn't have the same hard-line approach. Kyle's vision is of a world without a military, but in a world where there are Zentraedi still ready and eager to fight, there will always be a need for a military. Sure, unbeknownst to Lisa you've got Zentraedi who are looking to reject their way of life, making peace a possibility, but you're still going to have plenty who, like Khyron, will never reject this way of life. Loaves of bread are usually visual shorthand for France.Īnd then you've got Lisa thinking about stupid, stupid Kyle and going, "What he says makes more sense every day." No, it doesn't. She's carrying loaves of bread they must be in France. While the bridge girl trio relaxes and listens to the concert, the song causes Claudia to fall into a flashback to being with Roy. (6) Meanwhile, Minmei is actually in concert and singing the same song. ![]() How this relates to the ROBOTECH definition of Protoculture, well, let me give it a shot: this is another fail-safe by the Robotech Masters designed to keep the Zentraedi from becoming too autonomous, while at the same time preventing the secrets of Protoculture from falling into anyone's hands but the Masters'. It turns out that's the direction Dolza's taking as well, because while in the short term Dolza wants Breetai to capture some Micronians again for study, as they do seem to possess the secrets of Protoculture based on his observations, but in the long term the plan is to destroy them all, as prolonged contact with a race that has such knowledge of Protoculture will "have a bad effect upon our soldiers." That bad effect is taking place right under Breetai and Exedore's noses. ![]() Dolza SHOULD be standing up and taking notice of the fact that Rico, Konda, and Bron are making a mess of things aboard Breetai's flagship, with that handful of guys they've been showing the singing doll to telling ANOTHER handful of guys about it, and then them telling more, and now it's gotten so big that Grel knows about it and is telling Khyron that everyone's going completely bananas and considering jumping ship to the SDF-1 - which, Khyron being Khyron, just strengthens his resolve to ultimately destroy the SDF-1. ![]()
