Andrew Waltfeld

Phase 39: Tinker Tailor Soldier DaCosta

DaCosta is back! But he messed up because he's an idiot, oh no! To defend her secret StarCraft factory from DaCosta's incompetence, Lacus Clyne has to launch The Eternal without any Mobile Suit pilots and try to escape from some Nazca class ships. Sure is a shame she has a newer, cooler, Freedomier nuclear Gundam on board with no one to pilot it. If only Athrun and Mu La.... I'm sorry, Captain Neo Roanoke could convince Kira to go help her. His girlfriend. Seems like something he wouldn't do on his own. You'll have to listen and see.

Phase 26: Her Flabber Has Been Ghasted

In this episode of Cowboy Bebop, Lacus and Waltfeld plan a cunning heist to outsmart Meer and ZAFT and steal a shuttle. Will they be able to get away with it before the Sexy Diva realizes what's going on? Unfortunately, this is an episode of Gundam SEED Destiny, and not Cowboy Bebop, so before that, we have to deal with Shinn breaking military protocol and common sense, in order to flashback to the entirety of episode 21. But I promise the Lacus and Waltfeld stuff is real, so listen!

Phase 14: The Wedding Crashers

Finally, the Archangel is underway! Again! Meanwhile, bad purple man is attempting to marry off Cagalli… to himself?! I’m sure that will go great. The only factor he didn’t count on is her super-war-hero brother coming to the rescue in a nuclear powered death robot!

Phase 48: End of Days

Well, we’ve finally made it. Powered by the ghosts of his enemies (and some friends), Kira finally defeats the Joker. Also, Cagalli saves Athrun, and everyone lives happily ever after. Except Mu, who just lives ever after. Finally, the long journey has ended, and the seed has blossomed. Into PTSD.

Phase 18: Water Baron of Yogurt Town

What’s the best sauce for doner kebab? Batarang! In this episode we get dueling condiments, philosophical rambling from Mr. Burnsides, and a submission to the System’s Funniest Home Videos! Also featured: Dress Up Cagalli! Despite not being action-y, this one’s pretty great, and contains one of the best shirts in existence.

Phase 16: Love Punch

This episode sees the return of Cagalli! Again! We also get Mu about to become James Bond, Kira being angsty and fighty about being angsty, and Flay being… well, Flay. In case it’s not clear, we love Flay Lannister. Also, some tacto-babble with the Desert Dawn sets us up for the next episode as Andrew “Folgers” Waltfeld reluctantly takes arms. Emotions are high even as the Archangel is grounded!

Phase 15: Promise Birdies

War. War is filled with coffee. And that never changes, even in space! We return to Earth, and begin to deal with the most important subject in human history: teenage relationship drama! Cagalli’s back, Sai’s angsting, Flay’s… being a weirdo and kinda creepy. Also, we get some sweet melee combat, and Kira’s continued use of improvised moves. No Natural could do that sweet flying knee!

Phase 14: Universal Cheesecake License

Frankly, one of the better contrivances I’ve seen for a clip episodes: the main character is having a fever-induced flashback sequence! Also, the supporting cast is reminiscing or something, I guess. We also get to see the origin of Coordinators, and learn the story of George “Good At Everything” Glenn! More importantly, though, we get an introduction to the most important character in the series: DaCosta!
