Niek, Niek, Niek....The later half is the better half :3
...
I don't remember if the G Gundam universe's timeline is covered in Turn A or not. Then again, I never fully watched G Gundam since it seemed kinda stupid. (And I got the jist of it from playing Dynasty Warriors Gundam 1 and 2).
I think that that goes for all the gundam series. Even G Gundam the second half becomes a whole lot better and more fun to watch. And the final episodes of the final climactic battle are always the best. However a series is the sum of all the episodes.
The first half feels like the story is a bit forced or something. The last half of the series finally slows down a bit.
My mind was blown by the last few episodes.

I would wonder if the gundam series is still about war and not paintball. The battles aren't just that exciting.
Not just by the fighting or drama but by what they did with Show content
tying in the other GUNDAM universes in with
the story at the end.
Kinda like how GUNDAM 00 somewhat sets up the entire Newtype stuff at the end(depends on if you looks at it the way I did).
Just that Turn A is reversed. Everything falls into place with Turn A. That's why it is the "end all" GUNDAM. UC, AW, and AC are all included in Turn A. Since Seed and 00 were not released, it is safe to say that AD and CE are included as well.
I mean no offence, but I don't think that any of the timelines are connected in the manner you are implying. Personally, I think that trying to tie all the alternate universes together is just as stupid as making a timeline for all the Zelda games. That there are similarities between the gundam timelines is based on the sole reason that they are Gundam series. And the series uphold a certain format.
And I don't know what you mean with "end all" Gundam, but the mathematical symbol ∀ is not a representation of "end all". That symbol means "for all", and that is exactly what this series is. As the last series of the 20th century and because the Gundam franchise had its 20th anniversary, this series pays a homage to all the previous Gundam series (including G Gundam) by having a lot of obvious cameo's. I don't think Turn A is the last in the timeline, nor that Gundam 00 is the first. Each metaseries with its own calendar is its own timeline.
