to bad it's not EP 20..

episode 19 thoughts:
Euphie knew since the Hotel? Now she's even more stupid and selfish in my eyes. Letting a major terrorist run around just because he's your cousin is selfish as hell, and alot of soldiers and innocent collaterals are dying because she doesn't want to be the one to bring him down. How she hasn't resigned her post yet is also mind-boggling. Then again, that's what happens when you allow ancestry as a basis for assigning seats in public office...
Don't get me wrong, I actually really liked all the scenes with Euphie and Lelouch. They were sorta funny, but still wistful and showed alot about the two of them. I just think she's a retarded, naive, idealistic Lacus.
Will Suzaku get Kallen expelled from the university? I can't imagine she can go back now... Cover is blown to hell... All the stuff between them gave me Gundam Seed flashbacks like woah. God her tits are magnificent!
Thought Elevators. Finally some rationale behind Britannia's invasions. I couldn't figure out who the guy is (the one who flashed on the screen for about a split second before the floor collapsed under Lelouch, Euphier, Kallen and Suzaku. Looked too small to be Clovis... but he was definitely dressed up like Britannian royalty.
speaking of, this Schneizer guy (lol at the name) is a pretty big player. He was crushing on Lloyd's sidekick something fierce. Also seems to be quite down to Earth and in touch with his emotions. Good first impression of him. Why didn't Lelouch kill him, I wonder? Not enough time?
I call deus ex machina bullshit on Zero and Kallen escaping. Euphie and Suzaku are clearly out of harm's way about two seconds after the General tells his men not to shoot. I understand they prioritized protecting Euphie and that Kallen kicked some major ass, but there were just too many holes. Nobody is in those Knightmares we saw at the excavation just a minute before the roof fell in. No one guards the awesome, frickin flying, Knightmare. No one guns them down as they make an escape. Kallen doesn't get a scratch from the fight or Zero firing that crazy cannon. I know, I know, I should just let it go. But part of what makes this show great is that usually it takes some diabolical plot or slick strategy for Zero to get by, not just your typical anime hero favoritism.
Finally, the most important thing revealed in episode 19: Lelouch used his Geass on Suzaku! And, wow, I am disappointed in him. You get one shot with the Geass, and he commands his sworn enemy, the wrench in all his plans, to "Live"... Live? Looks like I was right, Lelouch's got a hardon for Suzaku something fierce. Giving special treatment to your childhood friend, placing their lives over everything you've fought for so far, possibly over your own life. Hah! All the good strategies in the world can't make up for such shortcomings of will power...
Couldn't he have made it so he couldn't use a Knightmare anymore? I don't care why he didn't want to use it on Suzaku. I don't even care that he tried to protect Suzaku's life. But to pass up an opportunity like that...
The only bright spot in that whole Geassed Suzaku thing is that it looks like he won't be as good in battle any more. He completely froze up during the gunfight, and even if he didn't have the Geass eyes, he was almost certainly under it. Nothing else explains it.
If you Geass someone and tell them to "Live!" what does that exactly make them do? Will Suzaku always be so useless in battle? Or will he still be in asset so long as his life isn't on the line? To what extent will he live "above all else"? Would a person under such a Geass avoid fatty foods and automobiles in order to make their life as long as possible? Where do you draw the line? I can see that becoming a continuity problem.
edit - screenshotted the guy who appears as the floor collapses. (probably caused it himself). Still no clue who he is..

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Maybe she just felt like it could be Lelouch, but didn't really know. And certainly had no proof. She seems like a person who wouldn't use the power of her social status just to accuse somebody with no clear evidence.
Yeah. That has to be one of the weakest parts of this show so far. It's true the Britons certainly didn't expect Lelouch and the others just to drop down when they messed with the artifact, and in that sense it makes sense they weren't actively guarding the nightmare (which was used to activate the artifact, or something, wasn't it?). Stil, like you said, there was plenty of time to secure it once they realised Lelouch was right there.I call deus ex machina bullshit on Zero and Kallen escaping. Euphie and Suzaku are clearly out of harm's way about two seconds after the General tells his men not to shoot.
I think the very idea of that stupid stupid stupid flying robot is stupid. I wouldve been happy with the knightmares just staying on ground. This development is actually scaring me into thinking the quality of the show might go down the drain if it doesnt recover soon. The whole point of code geass is strategy over power level bullshit. Now, all of a sudden Lelouch gets an overpowered mech that can fly. I really hope they handle this carefully, or else it might become a gundam seed mech battle fest.
I have always liked the scenes in code geass without the mechs, especially the Mao arc, which is my favorite. (C.C. was in it, Lelouch was damn cool, and there was a psychopath, what else could I wish for?)
I kind of guessed Lelouch was gonna end up using the Geass on Suzaku in such a wasteful manner. Otherwise, the story would end there. I do agree that it is a strategic failure on Lelouchs part, but I give him plus points on being less like Light in death note, and more likeable too. Anyone who actually has a bestfriend (since he has no other real friends, Suzaku takes the cake) should be able to at least understand him a bit.
Peace.
Half-brother. Their fathers are the same.he's your cousin is selfish as hell
If you remember the scene correctly, Suzaku had a gun pointed at Lelouche, while they were inside the cockpit. Suzaku was going to kill Zero, and die along with him (kind of like a kamikaze-technique). However, Lelouche told him to survive, so that Suzaku wouldn't die along with Zero, Suzaku escaped. By telling Suzaku to survive, Lelouche was able to live longer.You get one shot with the Geass, and he commands his sworn enemy, the wrench in all his plans, to "Live"... Live?

Well, if Lelouch had wished it, he could have just ordered Suzaku to escape and then kill himself or forget about all his memories or whatever. He gave him that order mainly because of his concern for Suzakus well being, since he was so eager to die and all. Of course he considered that it will also save his life, because it wouldnt make sense for him to get himself killed over nothing.
I think that order just emphasizes how serious Lelouch was when he said he didnt want to use the Geass on Suzaku at all, reflecting his sincerity in their friendship. He was considering Suzaku as Nunallys knight after all, a choice that shows complete trust.
Peace.
I think you're right on the second point, but I'm still saying that's Lelouch's number one weakness right now.
As for the "he had to tell him to live to escape the attack"... Where's the logic in that? Suzaku could have just blown his friggin head off and THEN ran to escape! Like I said above, it's very vague how Suzaku will respond to the Geass order to live. Now, if I'm a soldier in Japan, and the leader of the group I'm fighting against, risking my life daily to defeat, is right in front of me with my gun pointed at him and my number one priority is to secure my own life, what do you think I'm going to do? Kill him of course! Sure sure sure, "there wasn't enough time". Or "the Geass command to live doesn't work like that". I don't think it would have taken a significant amount more time to kill Zero and it would certainly not violate the Geass command. Hell, it'd be following it.
I mean, Suzaku had the time to flap his gums and talk back to the military while he was escaping. Where in the Geass order to live does it tell him to explain himself to others? Hell, where in Suzaku's mind does it not click that publicly announcing insubordination like that might cost him his life? But eliminating the number one threat to your life isn't in the command to "live"? Can anyone seriously think this out and not see the problem?
No, no I just think the creators had to bend to alot of plot convienence/necessity restrictions in this episode. Suzaku probably is the kind to tell others why he's acting how he is in such situation, and the Geass order is obviously very crude and poorly acted upon by common human intellect. But, for the record, i still say it's plot convienence.
was still a good episode.

Hmmmm, the guy who sings the insert song sounds like the same person who did like all the Scryed songs..interesting.
R.I.P Captain America.
Scryed, like Code Geass, is a Sunrise production. So I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same guy.
Oh Heck... Nina
Bad bad news...
Code Geass will be aired until ep 23, finishing this march 29.
It is still undecided if eps 24 and 25 will be released as DVD only releases, or in Tv. Both options have no date. Season 2 is confirmed on the same official blog entry.

It would be slightly strange if they are going to continue with season 2, yet would finish season 1 only on DVD. There are surely series that are finished with a few or more ovas released after the last aired episode, but so far I haven't seen a series, or at least I'm not aware of seeing one, that would have ovas integral to the story in the middle of it.
Or perhaps I just don't remember... I guess it could happen.
They want more money dammit. I hope it doesnt happen, the DVD release I mean. Its really plain stupid with a season 2 coming out, and will only serve to piss off many fans.
Peace.
Well lets go over 19,
It was bull, that the machine that had so much tech, and was needed so bad for what ever they were doing....just flied right away...with the person that is bring them down.The fan service I admit was nice, however like most fan service unneeded. I really don't get how the 4 of them got there, however I'm going to pin it on it being...an Anime.
On 20,
Did I just see C.C. piloting that thing with lulu? That was very interesting. It possibly has something to do with what that machine was for... The other thing is why Zero decided to attack them. Didn't he at first want the Chinese help? I mean that was a fair bit of fire-power that they had on that island. Why didn't Zero want to use it? And the Suzaku and whats-her-name thing I felt rushed. I mean how many times have they really met each other and talked? All we have ever really seen is Suzaku blowing up shit and getting blown up himself. There was only one time in memory that they really had a time to just the two of them. However before the fanboys and girls attack me yes I know it was going to happen anyway, better soon then later.

? Most of us hate Euphemia and Suzuka to the core.And it did feel rushed, and I'm glad, cant stand watching em....
Yeps....Had the same question when I started watching the ep. How the hell did they end up on an island?
This seems like good news to me. Season 2 is confirmed, and even if the final 2 episods of Season 1 are released only on DVD, they will still be subbed by someone, it just might take a little bit longer.Bad bad news...
Code Geass will be aired until ep 23, finishing this march 29.
It is still undecided if eps 24 and 25 will be released as DVD only releases, or in Tv. Both options have no date. Season 2 is confirmed on the same official blog entry.
Plus, as stated previously, it doesn't make any sense for them to release the last 2 episodes of the season on DVD only and then start season 2.
@DF & Lucifus: I believe the party line is that they ended up on the island b/c the hadron cannon literally blew them off the first one (while it shouldn't have really done much of anything unless they've got more quarks than the sun pumping out of that thing).
This news about the last to eps doesn't make much sense to me. Is the show not as popular in Japan as it is within fansub community? Withholding episodes seems like a waste of advertising money, though the company that makes the eps won't see that $ anyway, which could explain why they want to cut a DVD deal to get more profit.
The thing is... eps 24 & 25 WERE going to be released on DVD as the final episodes. Like it has happened before with other series, like Ah Megami Sama or Kashimashi. Thanks to this ep 25 and 25 NEVER had a television schedule. With the announcement of Season 2 they don't know what to do with this episodes now, since they no longer want to release them on DVD... yet since they don't have a tv slot to air them...
THATS the problem. It is not something decided days ago, but since before the series started airing.
