It could have been worse. The message could have been "End of the line for you" or "Do you pray? Now might be a good time to start."

2024-09-28 23:25:39 +0000 UTCMASTERS/SOUTHERN CROSS is the underappreciated/underrated "middle child" of ROBOTECH. Sandwiched between THE MACROSS SAGA and the also popular NEW GENERATION segment, it was, in some ways, at a disadvantageous position in terms of placement. However, it does stand well on its own and time has uncovered its strengths. I think MASTERS is a chapter that is better appreciated by adult audiences than by children or adolescents.

2024-09-28 20:41:01 +0000 UTCYour comments about the display screens made me chuckle because most TV shows and movies with custom UI elements always have stuff like that. Maybe not as extreme as NO ESCAPE but it’s like some nerd created something for every single edge case. 😆 Glad you’re enjoying this series so far, IMO it only gets better from here.

2024-09-28 20:31:28 +0000 UTCIn Robotech II The Sentinels, you see Exedore and Southern Cross Supreme Commander Anatole Eli Leonard argue. Exedore says the Earth will be safe from attack since the war will be fought on Tirol. Anatole Eli Leonard says "I don't share the Ambassador's optimism. If the REF takes the fleet the earth will be defenseless!" Rick even mentions he's worried this is a gamble because if they're wrong then the Earth will be vulnerable. The Army of the Southern Cross was left with mostly children (at the time, soldiers now) and cheaper inferior equipment when the REF left. As you saw in Sentinels, the Masters passed the REF to Earth and now Rick Hunter's REF is on Tirol dragged into a war against the Invid King so they can't return. (The canceled Sentinels Series was going to be 85 episodes of the REF at war with the Invid King. Something mentioned regularly throughout the series but never shown unfortunately)
