OK, I watched the first episode of this a month ago and (as some of you may recall me saying) loathed it. Nevertheless, I resolved not to write it off immediately. I missed the second episode while I was out of town, forgot the third, and was sort of "in and out" tonight.
So...could somebody kindly explain what was going on? Because to me, it looked like they attacked a military installation, engaged in an aerial mecha dogfight, and possibly killed a person when one of the "enemy" mecha blew up, all for the sake of...a chance for some really gnarly air-surfing?!
Is there some noble cause they're fighting for I missed? Please tell me there is.
