On a different topic, did anyone notice how this episode totally ruined the concept of Lelouch's geass? The implication has always been that he can't just tell people to follow his orders forever, because if he could, why would he ever NOT do that?
But in this episode, he just does it anyway.
There is obviously a penality or he would have done that before.Perhaps they are unable to do anything but that what he says them to do which would mean: every idiot would suspect that something is wrong.
I was kind of confused by the fact that Suzaku was able to know when the geass was working on him(or at least trying), I thought the whole point of the geass was that while you were under its power you wouldn't know the actions during the time it happened.
When a person who doesn't know what geass and doesn't know that he is affected by something unnatural, he is confused.
When a person knows what is geass and knows that he is affected by it, then it is no longer hard to know when you are affected and when not.
I actually haven't watched the episode yet, but I know I'll be posting this when I'm done anyway.
I'll never understand how can people be confused by such a simple storyline...
People were just in a denial phase. I mean, they spent 44 episodes hammering on the "Charles let Marianne die hence he is evil" plot point, then bang, Marianne ends up being a very manipulative body stealer who doesn't seems to show much love for her kids (much like Charles himself I guess). Even if we got some shadows over her actions during Season 1, nothing went on beyond making Prince Schnitzel the prime suspect in the murder case.
Hasn't Lelouch suspected that something was shady about her?
Also, it was obvious from the very beginning that her role is very, very important and the picture of C.C. and Marianne being together just made her more suspicious.
To maky a long story short, theories about her evilness existed from Day 1, but noone expected that she was obssesing a 14-year old girl.
Also, I guess the fact Suzaku is starting to notice when the Geass is trying to activate is because of his Fleia accidental use. We do know that with enough willpower the Geass can be broken (though there's only one previous case), and even though Suzaku is all "I don't care" about the means, he's still worried deep down about the methods. So since he is worried about the Geass causing another incident like that, his mind is probably unconciously picking up when the Geass tries to activate.
When a Disguised Japanesse terrorist attacked him and Suzaku counter-attacked, he noticed that he has done that because of geass.
In other words, that has nothing to do with the Fleia incident.
Not too impressed with this one. Most of the "twists" that came in, we all completely knew about already (Anya, etc)
There were many theories about Anya, but I don't remember Anya obssesed as a popular or even averagely known one.
It was also really anticlimatic with how they handled CC's memory returning.
"Hey sup, I'm in your brain. What are you doing silly?"
"Alright, guess I'm back".
Personal preference I guess. I liked this approach more then I would have liked the "She gets her memory back and sacrifices her life to save him!" approach.
(cont..) and japanese oppression would still be going on...
all hail zero!
Who says that Lelouch woudn't be the same, but rather then being Zero he would wage a shadow war (plots and schemes) against his family in order to become the next Emperor (he is very far in inheritance line if I remember correctly).
If that was teh series, then all would still be the same (mechas and the guy in mask). The only difference is teh fact that besides the High School fillers we would have had Chess fillers: entire episodes centered on L.L. playing chess with his siblings.
Thus, if Marianne was not doing what she was doing, Charles would not be doing what he is doing, thus Japan would not have been conquered.
And Suzaku (who in childhood hated Britains) would not become friend with British aristocracy, would not become tolerant and may not have killed his own father.
Chance for that to happen: 9%
lol at the"Live" Geass telling Suzaku to run away from the Knight of One.
I have a weird feeling that it might have been telling: "Get the f*** out of here or Leouch shall kill you... slowly." Only once he saw Lelouch, he staretd running.
Not even Taniguchi knows where the flying shit he's going with this series. It's been like that since the start of R2. Now just time to wait and see what they're going to pull out of the trash for the rest of the series. *Waits for return of Nunnarrrrrrry*
I tought it was officialy confirmed that she is RIP.
Also at the end, when Lulu destroyed the exit, why did he have to go into that world? He sealed the exit from the outside, so he didn't really need to go in there...
I doubt that he thinks he could accomplish anything if he stayed outside. Tough he will accomplish something big in ep 22, I have no doubts in that. |
