Very interesting! I think I'm going to have to rewatch the episodes again, keeping your thoughts in mind.
Especially your characterization of Relena sparked my interest, since I, personally, always thought her a bit childish and arrogant.
Heero doesn't want to fight. In fact, he just wants to destroy Wing, sabotage his own mission even, and die.
Yes. I had that impression, too. The only thing I was never really clear on is, why. Why not go through with his mission? Because Relena saw him? Hardly. I don't think that that would deterr him. So why did he choose *not* to go through with what had probably been his original mission: to use the Gundam to fight against the Alliance.
'hot damn, spare parts!'
*g* Yes, that was also the impression that I had. Duo wasn't interested in Wing as another Gundam, or as a potential partner - he wanted the parts! Perhaps that was why he was so upset when Heero turned the tables on him later?

Looking forward to your thoughts on the next eps.
