Best Day Ever.
i must say that today was a quite awesome day in TV for me, i experienced a lot of open jawed-gasping at stuffs going on on the television machine today, i must warn you i will soon be ranting about episode 38 of Destiny so if for some reason you are in fact also watching Gundam SEED Destiny and you don't want the future spoiled for you you'd probably be best off skipping to the part where i rant about Doctor Who and other crap if i have time.

But i must admit that most of my rantery shall be on the subject of Gundam, and i will do my best as always to make said rant accessible to non-Gundam fans so i'd really appreciate if you still read this even if you don't like the series or haven't heard of it, but i realize thats asking a lot so feel free to ignore me if you see fit to do so, i can't say as i haven't had weak moments and done the same.

Well pretty much the episode starts off with a huge number of ZAFT and Anti-LOGOS Earth Federation ships are closing in on Heaven's Base, the last stronghold of Blue Cosmos and the other radical terrorists. as we see inside you can see that all the LOGOS members don't seem too concerned, most of all Lord Djibril. As the other members ask him of his plans he states that Durandal is a fool to lead his troops from the front lines, no matter how much it endears him to the average people ideals and adoration mean nothing if you lack the strength to accomplish what needs be done. Even if they're killed Durandal will eventually take their place they agree so in the end they'll still win. Outside the ships are getting ready for the deadline for surrender to pass, to see whether LOGOS will just give up peacefully or not. As this is going on another member asks Djibril if he can really defend this place, to which he replies "defend? we're going on the attack." And with that, without declaring war or even resistance he sends out a huge volley of missiles at the Feddy ships, in the hangar we see Sting donning a flight suit similar to the one Stella wore in the Destroy, and low and behold a Destroy launches, but... behind it is another Destroy. Incase you guys need to know just how bad that is, the first Destroy would just walk through cities wiping out all the military as well as civilian life there and burning the whole play to the ground, and here's two of them launching a sneak attack on the assembled forces. next tyhing we hear is Arthur declaring "Five of them detected! 5 Destroys!" all 5 of the massive weapons of death fly out over the ocean and pretty much erase all the feddy ships from existance, meanwhile underwater attack forces are wiping out the ZAFT Goohns and Asshs. well thats okay, because even though this was a complete sneak attack ZAFT still has reinforcements coming, operation Ragnorok, and as the Zakus drop down surrounding the base LOGOS unveils a giant anti-air cannon that reflects lasers inside a giant bowl until it not only wipes out the ragnorok troops, but most of the original airborne support, meanwhile the Destroys are continuing to wipe out the fleet. its at this point i realize that LOGOS is screwed.

"WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING!?" you probably ask. well its simple: LOGOS showed its hand, they launched an all-out assault off the bat, not they spent all their aces the counter-attack can be measured to an accurate representation of their power. so the Destiny, Legend, and Luna in the Impulse launch and immeadiately Shin goes into his "i'm going to kill you all for what you did!" mode , which normally i dislike because its directed at Kira, but in this case it was just awesome! One of the first things he does is cut a good third off Sting's Destroy, then grabs the head a blows it up with a gun in the palm. well it just goes down hill from there for LOGOS, the ZAFT forces swarm and you see them just clearing a path of destruction, the air troops led by Luna, which looked of pure awesome. she then uses the Impulse to its full modular potential by calling for the sword pack, tossing on sword to Rey, then throwing both boomerangs and running a Destroy through, showing she's a better pilot of the Impulse than Shin. i also love how when everyone is amazed at how good she is she remarks "you know i EARNED this uniform." also there is nothing like watching the the Destiny with its big pink butterfly wings of energy fly around in after-image and bisect things 20 times its size. and as Heaven's base is falling Djibril can be seen sneaking out, a fact his peers don't realize until its a bit too late.

the episode ends with Durandal laying back with a very satisfied smile. the preview for the next ep seems to promise similar awesomeness, with Waltfeld fighting to protect Lacus...

With the help of Kira in the upgraded Freedom, oh sweet lord will it be great!
