Gundam Wing: Disc 7, episodes 30-35

I will elaborate more beneath the cut, but this disc has further evidence for the theory that the 5 Gundam pilots share a fixed amount of insanity between them. For ease of calculation, let's assume it's 100 crazy points, with more points making you more crazy. 0-10 is probably within the normal range.

In disc one, I estimate that Duo and Quatre each have 2 1/2 (remarkably stable under the circumstances), Trowa and Wu Fei each have 15 (weird but possibly not diagnosable), and Heero has 65. When Heero gets less crazy, the others get more crazy, and so equilibrium is maintained.

I should start tracking the crazy points during the re-watch I'm doing with Yoon (who is watching for the first time.) In case you missed my weekend post:

She has an excellent report up on our day, including a recap of the first disc of Gundam Wing, with truly hilarious screencaps. We have visual proof that Heero was programmed with Adobe Photoshop. That explains a lot.

By the way, Yoon has clearly been an unnatural influence on me: I'm voluntarily doing math!

Disc 7 suffered badly from too much Relena, and not enough pilots-other-than-Heero. Come back, other Gundam pilots! Die, Relena! DIE!!!

I was mostly bored by the goings-on in Sanc, which was a problem since there was quite a bit of that. I am hoping Sanc will be destroyed (again) in the next disc. Hopefully along with Relena.
