Wufei meeting Sally is another one of those things that I thought happened earlier in the series (instead, she disappeared for a while after her encounter with Heero).
Someone, I assume Wufei, did a terrible job hiding Shenlong while it was near the guerillas' hideout.
For an episode with Catherine's name in the title, episode 13 didn't have much of her or Trowa. I guess it makes more sense to split Zechs' storyline for 13 and 14 the way they did, but you'd think someone getting their name in the episode title would make them be a prominent character for the entire episode instead of for the last 5 minutes or so.
Noin says that OZ must keep winning in order to continue ruling, which says something about the way OZ is achieving rule in the first place. It basically sets up OZ ruling through fear of imminent military smackdown, with OZ drawing on the argument that "X didn't go along with us, look what happen to them" as a means of preventing people from standing up against them. Given the way OZ has manipulated events thus far, they'd probably even set up resistance of some kind just to smack it down if OZ ever did run out of genuine resistance.
Treize frames rule as being meant to keep people's ambitions under control, but isn't the irony that it's doing nothing to stop his ambitions or those of the Romefeller Foundation from working away from the greater good. He also suggests the world is nothing but neverending wars, and yet he was the one to drag the world back into military conflict even as part of the Alliance was working towards peace.
