What I'm surprised of is Erwin and Pixis aren't plotting to get rid of Zackley- because he's clearly a ticking time bomb.

I'm not so sure about this. I'm mean sure he's definitely not a good person, but I don't think he's going to end up being an antagonist.

I wonder how monkey titan managed to store his glasses. He also seems pretty chipper when he came out titan form, instead of all feverish and what have you like I think literally every other shifter we've seen.

The guy performs rectal feeding as artwork. What happens when he starts looking for extra materials?

I mean, an ordinary serial rapist in that level of authority would be bad enough, but Zackley just goes beyond.

Goddammit. On my first read through I thought that the Grisha lookalike was riding on Ape Escape's shoulders the entire time. Would have been way cooler than him being the titan's host.

Probably in a pocket. He's not naked inside the titan, he's wearing army pants and boots.

Also, Grisha totally originated outside the walls. After all, he has medical expertise that others within the walls lack.

Where is Ymir right now? Did she split up from Bert and Ernie? I remember her being scared that the village they were from would punish her for failure, and if Dr. Zaius is one of their bosses that would explain a bit.

They've been outside the walled city for about 4 months now. They probably took her back to where they're from and then returned to save Annie and kidnap Eren.

What I find most notable about this chapter is that it reduces a lot of uncertainty. All shifters outside the wall belong to the same faction with the possible exception of Ymir. Probably Grisha too. So was the breaking of the Wall just intended as a distraction for Grisha to get the Coordinate? And then he didn't hand it over because they killed his wife?
Seems to fit, but there is probably more.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
I'm trying to work out how they are going to handle the next season of the anime. The first thirteen episodes are easy to map out: the Utgard and the traitors storyline would fit nicely and Eren discovering the coordinate would make a great climax.

But, even though the Rebellion arc is only a few chapters longer than the preceding storyline, I don't think they could fit it in 13 episodes. It's a shame because this chapter seems like a logical epilogue for the season because there's the time skip. It sure would be great if the Rambo Jambo reveal was next season's Wall Titan post-credits sting, but the preceding arc is just so long. Unless they spring for an extra three or four episodes next season, they'll probably cut some stuff, like how they cut Annie and Eren's training together.

I bet they could cut and condense the rebellion arc in the second half, ending with Historia becoming queen. Of course, I can imagine fans being annoyed at the prospect of a still unexplored basement.

Reiner straight up says their objective was to kill all the humans in the walls, but Eren having the coordinate changed priorities.

I know, but they are not the most disciplined group. They decide on their next plans by Titan wrestle. What I'm saying is that the three might just have been dicks. Or young and stupid if you prefer. Diversion? Were going to wipe them out! When Reiner has his freakout he says something like how he didn't know that there were such guys behind the Wall, more like it was a personal decision.

Still hoping for a "helicopter/spaceship/whatever advanced thing flies overhead and stops a climactic battle" scene. For some reason I'm expecting either this or the reveal that the rest of the world outside of the walls and a few other places are completely dead.

Honestly, we have enough for a season 2 and maybe season 3 at this point. Season 2 would most definitely be Castle Utgard-->Bert and Reiner out themselves/kidnap Eren, ending with Eren's recovery and the revelation about Rod Reiss. Season 3 could cover the recently completed arc, although that means we'd have to wait a good while for stuff like Kenny and Eren's second kidnapping to be animated.

We should definitely see some vehicles driving around at some point. I mean come on, even the guys in the walls are producing compressed gas tanks. Someone must've attached a canister to a carriage by now.

the difference in energy requirements for shooting a grappling hook and providing minor changes in acceleration for a human body versus moving a carriage on brick/stone roads seems like a reasonable barrier in itself. otoh we know hot airships are basically feasible, and have obvious uses against titans
