2. To her, or to something about her? I'll go with the latter (until further notice). 3. Eh, you're looking at it cockeyed. There is more to the Varja than Kawamori and Co have shown us, for sure. 4. This is made clear in episode 4, the UN covered up the attack on the research fleet, calling it "fold dislocation".

The HD remaster is very grainy.

It was my understanding that the differences were cosmetic, but I haven't read alot on the subject.

Yeah, see, that doesn't work for me. We don't actually know its the singing itself they are drawn to. Also, they allowed Sheryl to come on board to close out her 3 month tour, and she seems to attract them as well. So they think its OK that Sheryl attracts them, but not Ranka? We don't even know if Ranka was amongst the top runners up. Out of all of the likely scenarios, the one that was the most plausible for me was that Leon did it because of Ozma's past relationship with Kathy. I am going to stick with that until I have more information to go on. Leon could be a big fat cheat, too, and has been nailing the chick who won.

Well, on my monitor, the aspect ratio is off on the IZ rip.

Actually, I rathed liked the effect. BTW, I don't think those are misplaced sonic booms in the combat sequence. At first I thought they were perhaps maneuvering thrusters, but if you notice, you mostly seem them after one of them has made a hard turn. I am thinking we are seeing some sort of burst thrust effect.

I had an Ozma/Obi Wan - Alto/Luke moment there. "He is reckless..." "So was I, if you remember."

Well, I have the actual DVD now. Unfortunately, I see no way to watch this with subs unless I rip the video and add them myself.

Generalissimo Killt

Rotoscoping!

Hai

I thought something looked screwy with that RAW, the aspect ratio is totally off.

Ok, from the subs we have learned: That was the 12th Miss Macross Frontier contest, so we can assume the Frontier has been in space for atleast that long. The fleet that Ranka was on that was destroyed by the Varja was the 117th research fleet. This took place in 2048. 1,000 lives were lost in that attack, and the public story put out was the disaster was caused by a "fold dislocation" (Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dustin' crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?)

Well, they're being piloted by OG Meltrans. It kinda helps.

The "head beings" are a product of a mental break, there nothing mechanical about them. Baltar sees what he does because he is batshat crazy (Moore and company have stated as much, on more than one occasion). I'm sure Tigh sees what he does because he's losing it as well. And no, Six doesn't know Tigh is a Cylon. Tigh is reading way too far into what she is saying to him, and he's not in his right mind to begin with.

The Macross is named after Macbeth, it is why I asked.

How do you pronounce "Macbeth"?

Yeah, she doesn't know.

Well, he still hasn't figured out how to do that yet. The hand drawn animation is by far this series' weakest link, and I have found it to be sub-par compared to much of what I have watched over the past year. Doesn't mean I don't like this series, I absolutely love it.

You do realize he goes to school to learn to fly these things, right?

So you want Macross Frontier to look like a 1980's animated TV series?

Yeah, but they're not nuclear.

Very Flight Club.

I have no idea what's going on. I've given up trying to guess.

WAFO FTW!
