Destiny Phase 50: The Future Will be Better Tomorrow

We finally made it. The final episode of Gundam SEED Desitny. We made it through Gundam jackings, speeches about identity, Mobile Suit pilots with frustrating mental acuity, Crygali and Savioring. We made it through disintegrated people coming back to life, Djibril and the Destiny plan. What awaits us in the final episode? You'll have to listen and see.

Destiny Phase 49: Math With Laser Beams

We're almost there. The penultimate episode of Gundam SEED Destiny. It's all come to this. Who will do the most nonsensical philosophizing? Who will pick the most nonsensical character motivation out of the hat? Who will be kicked to the moon? And who will set up a pun without even realizing what they're doing? You'll have to listen to find out, and once you do, might as well stick around for next week too.

Phase 46: Clipshow Hell Part III WOW!

WOW! It's Gundam SEED Destiny! A clipshow even. WOW! Remember how this show used to have druggies? Wow, been a while since I thought about them! We get to hear everything that's already happened from Meer Campbell's perspective! You know that's going to be important going forward, because she died last week! Err, spoilers. Wow!

Phase 42: Athrun Used Takedown

It's A Gundam is finally back to talk about Phase 42 of Gundam SEED Destiny, A Call For Counterattack. Athrun is back in action, with his new moveset of Protect, Takedown, Slash and Self Destruct. Good thing that, unlike Shinn, he doesn't have to fight any ghost types this week! Can Athrun's limited moveset take Shinn down? And if not, can he convince an emotionally unstable teenager he's being a dick?

Phase 41: Not Your Daddy's Doms

This week on the podcast, everything's showing up from space, and Geremy makes a surprising amount of jokes about music! Plus, the final new Mobile Suits for the series are introduced: the Lemniscate Justice and the Dom. But not just any old busted Dom. It's the new, sexy Dom Trooper. Listen to find all about it and its trio of pilots!

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 37: Thanks For Reading My Fan Fiction Gil

Meyrin and Rey are writing more fan fiction this week in Gundam SEED Destiny, and it's all about Athrun! Speaking of Athrun, he's betrayed everyone, and Gil and Rey have to convince Shinn to kill not only him, but also Meyrin. That's certainly good for a growing boy's psyche right?

Phase 36: Meyrin Fantasy 16

After Chairman Durundal tries to gaslight Athrun into thinking Meer is the real Lacus and Kira broke up with her, he has no choice but to do some sweet James Bond stuff. Which Bond girl will he get to flee with him? And why does Geremy constantly doubt himself when he guesses the artists to songs even though he gets all of them right this episode? Listen and find out.

Phase 35: Buy None of Their Playsets or Toys

Shinn went and did a murder on Athrun's best friend, and now Athrun is upset about it! Will this be enough for him to regain his main character status? Or will Rey be able to gaslight him into thinking Kira dying is a good thing? And will Shin do an introspection? Or will he have to be punched in the face instead? And who will get the two new shiny Gundams with the words "For Main Characters Only" inscribed on their head? And which one of them has the devil number for its model number? For provoking so many questions, this sure is a boring episode, but listen anyway!

Phase 34: Excessive Explosions

This week, the show reveals that only a main character can defeat a main character, as the very subtly named "Operation Angel Down" pits Shinn against Kira. Shinn's been wanting to shoot down the Freedom for 2s of episodes now. Will he succeed? The answer will make Geremy sad.

Phase 33: Why Can’t We be Friends? The Secret is Actually the Illuminati

This week, Durundal gives a long, impassioned speech, and doxes the Illuminati in response to them blowing up all of Europe. But according to Kira and Cagali this is.... bad? For some reason? Zach has a theory, and you'll have to listen if you want to hear it.

Phase 32: Destroy Us All

Stella's here in her big robot, and she's going to destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!! Destroy us all!!!

Destroy us all!!!

Also, that guy in the mask looks vaguely familiar, and for the first time, a Gundam gets taken out by mooks.

Phase 31: He Did a Treason, But It's Fine

This week, the Riddler's here to ask us all an important question: when is treason not a crime? Apparently, when your name is Shinn Asuka. Or Athrun Zala for that matter. Plus, Milly is incredulous about the existence of a hot springs on the Archangel, and half-dead Stella gets a big Dalek-shaped Christmas present from Neo Roanoke. Check it out.

Phase 29: Clipshow Hell Part II: Gilbert, Gladys and Gary

Oh joy, another clip episode. This week, we do everything we can to avoid talking about what's going on, like trying to figure out how Kira survived the fight with Athrun (we don't), and speculating on whether or not Durandal was Rau Le Creuset's drug dealer. If that sounds fun give it a listen? Has to be better than actually watching the episode.

Phase 28: I'm a Main Character Too G*******t

This week on Gundam SEED... it's a big one. Shinn gets tired of being sidelined and tries to stand up to Kira... who decides he's going to fly off and scream Athrun's name, like the good ol' days. Someone will die, someone else will die for reasons that don't make the most sense in hindsight, and someone won't die but will get blown up real, real good.

Phase 27: Clearly He's Too Shonen to Betray You

Lacus Clyne is in space, and a bunch of teenagers talk about what they want to do. To try and make things interesting, we speculate on what Rey's blogging about, other possible nicknames for Andrew Waldfelt, and whether or not the Hawke sisters are emotional vampires.

Phase 25: It’s Just Their Brain Trust

We're officially half way through Destiny, and, as though the staff realized how much time they've wasted, we got a banger this week. Kira and Athrun... talk! A lot. Luna watches! Also, Arthur investigates the Scooby-Doo factory with results Shaggy would be proud of, and Stella gets... character development? Give it a listen.

Phase 24: Scoobydooing Their Way Through the Dark Room

Lots of stuff happens this episode, but who cares? There's a traditional Japanese bath house on The Archangel now. How? And why? And who's bathing in it? You have to listen to find out! Yes, you could watch the real episode to find out who's bathing, but how and why sure as hell aren't explained.

Phase 22: At War, Separately, Together

It's been a while, but we're back with style. Spice style! We find out from the cool new orange guy on the team how bad ZAFT is at military structure. We also talk about how long it would take to rebuild your navy after a war as huge as the one that happened 2 years ago, and, yet again, it doesn't look good. Also Minority Report! Don't miss it!
