I was reading the recent posts since I've been MIA from the Geass talk for the past week. I was wondering how or why you said C.C. was in a bad position. I just watched episode 14 and it seemed like Lelouch had no intention of killing her like he did with the Order. I agree though, the next episode might be an episode of just catching up and talking about things that were out in the open.
-------------
The episode was pretty interesting. I actually fell off my couch this time. Amazing how anime on your 30-something inch tv differs from anime on the computer. :] I won't post any spoilers for yet because the episode releases barely came out. In the beginning, I kind of had a bitter feeling for Code Geass. It wasn't like I hated the episode. It's just the first part of the episode made me feel really weird, but in a good way. I don't know how to explain it.
I guess I'll just tackle this episode one at a time.
I'm guessing V.V. is a horrible master for everybody wanted C.C. to save them. I wonder what happened in between the time when C.C. was the leader and then V.V. I think the fact that V.V. basically "throws away his trash like nothing" or as he considers his Geass failures. From throwing away his failures, the people have lost trust in him and have led to the hard lives of many families, especially the children. That's my guess to why people were rather praising C.C. when the Black Knights came and the reason why they wanted to escape from V.V.
Plus, they still call her "C.C.-sama" or "Master C.C."(Depends on which version you watched. I think GG had C.C.-sama and Eclipse had Master C.C. I'm going by the Eclipse version because I trust them more. ^^). That much mean they still respect as their leader or it could be in those type of situations where you still call somebody your leader even if you have a new one.
Unfortunately, Rolo really did kill Shirley. -Sighs- Although after this episode I liked Rolo a little less. I think it was because he basically said "I killed one of my brother's best friends and I don't care" which was somewhat disturbing to me. Now we know FOR SURE that he'll die in the future. If he doesn't die in the next couple of episodes, Lelouch will just kill Rolo himself if he has to. -_-
Suzaku just amazed me beyond words that it made me laugh so hard. I never knew he was that kind of guy who would lie to someone such as Kallen. I don't think her loyalty to Lelouch/Zero will waver though. I think it was just a way for him to convince Kallen to come to Britannia's side because he knows that Kallen has more than enough potential to whoop his fucking ass in a knightmare battle. He just sunk to a whole new level of douchebag-ness.
After some consideration to the reaction of the Black Knights, I think there will be a rebellion in the rebellion. That fat guy's reaction to killing little children was shocking. He questioned Zero's authority and might just question what the Black Knights are really about since Lelouch has no intention of telling everybody that he is doing this for Nunnally. Probably not though because a rebellion from within the Black Knights might not be able to fit into the limited 11 episodes that Sunrise has to end the entire Code Geass series.
As a side note, I never noticed Siegfried was so uberly HUGE. It's like a Shinshirou x3.
I think V.V. just got owned there. Cornelia already knows that V.V. is pretty much Charles' right-hand man so I don't think she'll be following Britannia anymore. The chance of Cornelia welcoming Lelouch into her list of allies is still uncertain though. She still can't forgive him for being the one that disgraced Euphy's name.
When Charles asked V.V. if he was the one that sent an assassin to kill Lelouch, I got the feeling that Charles probably still care for his children enough to not want to kill them. But those two obviously like to lie to each other.
Charles vs. Lelouch. Wonder who is going to win. They're pretty much opposites based on physical appearance. Charles is uberly huge and Lelouch is uberly skinny.
Not much to say about Lelouch and the Sword of Asharta though. However, I'd love to hear somebody's opinion about what Charles definition of redemption.
