They have explained everything a bit too early maybe, but I suppose now it's just all about destroying COVERS and that's the end of the show.
Best recap episode I've ever seen, the new opening is alright, I like the original better, as well as the first ending more.
Aliens, incest, and everyone getting naked, things are a far cry from the start of the series.
Nui popping up as the pilot was amusing, she's a master of disguise, after this episode I can kind of see the theory of her being a Life Fiber doll, though that wouldn't explain why she didn't fix her eye.
I don't however think this episode means they're heading into space ala Gurren Lagann just because the life fibers turned out to aliens, all battles will take place on Earth is my prediction.
