Anyway, Iserlohn orbits a key star along that one passage, which makes it strategically critical. Why it’s impassible isn’t specified, but given how barren the space around the corridor looks when we’re shown it on a starmap, it’s easy to infer that ships have a limited range, and the distance across the empty space is farther than they can go without refueling. Apparently, there’s a big region of space between the currently held Empire and Alliance territories that is impassable except for a narrow corridor of star systems. The purpose of this completely inane scene is apparently to establish the importance of the nearby Imperial fortress world of Iserlohn, which they mention while shooting the breeze mid-dogfight. It’s only two thirds of the fleet that’s been slaughtered, bruh. Just cheery and placid while shit explodes all around them.
It’s not even a case of miscommunication between art and voice direction, because their VA’s sound exactly the way the characters look. More consistent with Yang Wen-Li’s general personality, for sure. On one hand, it’s way less self-glorifying and unhinged-sounding than the DNT version, with him even stopping midway through to marvel at how unusually confident his voice is sounding. Then, Wen-Li sends his fleet-wide command. Paetas’ last act before losing consciousness in an absolutely unconvincing and anime-ish manner is to bestow command over what’s left of their fleet to Wen-Li. Either a difference in attitude, or an actual disparity in medical technology and/or resources). Wen-Li assesses the condition of the Patorakles and its officers, and sends Paeta to sickbay in a stasis bed (notably, the Alliance crew seem a little bit less confident in their own medical resources than the Imperial soldiers did last episode.
But nope, just a room covered in smart screens! Pleasant surprise there.

His words suggest that he’s disappointed with Reinhard’s surprising winning streak, but he’s still making his gloaty Lex Luther face that makes him look smug about it.Įspecially since I thought they were going with the soft scifi space windows aesthetic at first (which even soft milscifi does on occasion, bafflingly). In his office, Adrian Rubinsky is (somehow?) getting realtime updates on the battle of Astarte. Man, that really puts the lie to the claim that they were trying to cram as much story as possible into the pilot due to not knowing how many episodes they have, doesn’t it? If they were trying to get through material quickly, then they were really, really bad at it. It was implied in the dialogue and aesthetics, both in this show and in DNT, but now it’s been said in as many words.Īlso, no waxing poetic over random desert ruins this time. It’s also made explicit now that the Alliance is a democracy. Maybe “feudal lord” is just a mistranslation of “dictator,” that would make more sense. That Adrian Rubinsky guy who we saw a glimpse of earlier is confirmed to be their head of state, but also confusingly described as a “feudal lord.” If he’s the top dog of an independent feudal government, wouldn’t that make him a king? “Lord” has connotations of being subservient to someone else, in a feudal context. Phezzan is now described as an autonomous state rather than a city state, so that’s good. However, either it’s phrased better this time, or the localizer just did a much better job on this one for some reason. This episode has another voice over intro after the OP, over similar (and some reused) footage.
