I have to say that I really liked Field Marshal Noventa and was sorry to see him become a casualty as part of Treize's machinations.
Also, I am so behind on episodes :x
ETA: I really enjoyed watching the slowly building camaraderie between the Gundam pilots. I like how Quatre was able to understand that Heero was overwhelmed by what had happened with the deception from OZ to initiate their coup d'etat. Then again, Quatre is the most empathetic of the pilots, so . . .
Treize and Wufei's duel is one of my favorite moments. I have to say that I enjoy Wufei as a character simply because of how intense yet hypocritical he is. He refuses to fight Noin, but has no problem engaging Une (although he kind of didn't have a choice with Une).
Treize and Wufei's dueling styles reflect their personalities, which is also why this scene was so enjoyable to watch. Wufei charges at Treize, and Treize maintains his composure throughout the entire duel (hell, Treize wasn't even phased when Wufei's dragon arm destroyed the side of the ship mere feet away from him). And when Treize turns to place his blade at Wufei's throat . . . so elegant. I know a lot of people dislike Treize for how manipulative he is, but I really love how calm, collected and calculating he can be. Treize is my favorite of the OZ characters.
I also think it's an interesting peek into Wufei's character that after being defeated in the duel, Wufei simply leaves. He doesn't try to attack in vengeance; he just accepts defeat and goes to angst. I also like that Trowa was able to understand that and not pester Wufei about it--you know Duo or Quatre probably wouldn't have let it go that easily. Well, Quatre would, but Duo is the chatty sort (which makes him very likeable; supposedly he is the most popular of the five Gundam boys, and rightfully so).
