Hordes and hordes of Vajra attack the Frontier and everyone fights for their lives.

Impressions:

This episode was huge. Of course one of the big things in this episode was Michael dying, but I’ll talk about that in the next paragraph. Even without that this episode was huge. I just couldn’t get over the big overall feeling about how totally screwed everyone on the Frontier is. There’s thousands of the Vajra inside the ship, if they ever get dealt with there will be pretty much no buildings left for people to be able to live. If the Vajra don’t kill them, the destruction they caused will. They’re f’ed. This episode also had some good romance in it, but not a huge amount. I knew that Altoh wouldn’t have said anything romantic to Sheryl, that it would be something like him telling her to keep singing, but it still was a bad thing for Ranka to walk in on. Hopefully this event will bring them a little closer together. It gives me a lot of hope for Ranka actually because Sheryl singing again means she’s not in a horrible place. If she was it would be too sad for her to also not get the guy, but if she can pick herself up without him, it won’t be as big of a deal.

Of course the huge thing that I’m just absolutely stunned by was Michel dying. I mean….holy shit, that was f’ing huge. He was such a great character. He was experienced, helped people along by giving them a push in the right direction but almost more importantly he had a great thing going with Klan that was just destroyed when he died. They finally got to the point where they were open with each other and he dies. It’s horrible. I feel so sorry for Klan. I loved her character and I loved seeing her try and get Michel to realize her feelings. He was a great character and it’s really tragic to see him die, but at the same time it brings a huge level of seriousness to this show that is already great.
