Finally got to episode 16, and I can say two minor things nobody else has mentioned.
1. Look at those maintenance and repair platforms hovering around the ship in the early scenes, and then look at an Eagle Transporter from Space: 1999. Verrrrry interesting!
2. I think it's fascinating that although Japanese has its own word for "seagull," their recon plane is named with the English word. A nice reminder that, for all the all-Japanese crew, this is a United Nations ship and mission.

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
