They could use them as the first and second episodes of the second season. Or an extra long first episode. Sure, it might not be editing wise that splendid, perhaps, but they would automatically get an airing slot.

If we are lucky season 2 will be aired in autumn... if not until next year. So that would be even worst. It its released on dvd it would be released in summer.
I hope they find a free slot on tv soon though.
well 20 is probably my least favorite episode so far, mostly because it was so Euphie and Nina intensive.
I thought Suzaku was pretty good. (i'm one of the few who still likes him). Each time he talks more and more about it, I think he's progressing beyond the patricide and becoming a reasonably rational person. His response to Euphie's completely out of place request was actually the most understandable thing in the episode. His explanation of his feelings for her make sense and weren't too mushy. It certainly is rushed between them, but mostly on her part. I thought his response was quite tempered.
Euphie, on the other hand, is the epitome of relationship-obsessed women in anime. "All I want is to see people smile" and her interrupting a battle to command Suzaku to love her... Commanding someone to love her... Just about every line she had, outside of her 'talk' with Clovis, made no sense.
Well, looks like Suzaku's Geass command is only a very basic one that doesn't take account of anything except immediate factors. It let him run out of energy, but not self-destruct...
I'm still not decided on Zero's aiding Suzaku against the Chinese. I think it was just a way to keep Suzaku alive (for the show's creators). I think it's strange to see Lelouch take the high and mighty route and fight against a potential ally. Even if they weren't really representative of Japan, those forces could have helped him. And he had sent C.C. to gauge China's interest earlier on. Lelouch seems to be very different from earlier in the series. He used to be more ruthless and deceitful. Now he's saving his buddy's life and talking up a storm about the legitimate right to govern.
what's the word for when a person (female or male) acts only based on her own personal feelings and emotions? That word, or expression, describes Euphie.
lol @ that pic RZ
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".
Zero didnt really change. I think he was like that all along, its just that he didnt know that Suzaku was the enemy pilot. Suzaku as he said was his first friend, and it seems he values him more than even he realizes.
Aiding Suzaku in battle wasnt really that bad of a move since their enemy wasnt really much of a force to reckon with. They wouldnt have made a good ally, and it would have been risky to keep so many uncontrolled factors around (as seen in how Zero made allies with all the elite and useful in the show, and killed off all the less useful ones).
I honestly dont want Suzaku fighting Lelouch anymore, since it seems to be so hard for Lelouch to do so, while Suzaku just keeps enjoying his ignorance of the enemy's identity. Though it is supposed to be Lelouchs advantage, his being soft on Suzaku has proven it the opposite. I agree about Suzaku being Lelouchs greatest weakness next to Nunally, and though this episode made Suzaku less hateable, this fact just made up for that and more.
EDIT - And oh yeah, Euphie is the plague of stupidity that has infected code geass and must be rid of immediately. She is even worst than Suzaku, since she is brain dead and a fucking naive idealist, and to top it off, she LIKES Suzaku *damn slut*. I like NIna more than her right now. I like CLOVIS more than her right now, and he only showed up for 2 episodes.
Peace.
Preach Shinta. 100% agreement. Someone needs to just have her assasinated.....>.<Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
Lol, it's refreshing to see how the reactions to Euphie' are so similar to the reactions to Lacus were back in the days of SEED. However, in my opinion Euphie has her beat in every was as an annoying pink haired girl. Yes Euphie is also an idealistic, self-indulgent, love struck klutz who's in a position of power and authority that she's not at all suited for, but she's royalty, so she should know better. Lacus was a pop star with a famous dad and had little to know political skills so at least I can give her the benefit of ignorance and just hate her for that. Euphie has been raised around all this crap and still clings to her nonsense notions. even if her sister tried to shield her from it, that's no excuse. Euphie should know better but doesn't, which makes her that much more irritating and deserving of an assassination attempt (which will probably be stopped by Suzaku in the Lancelot, who will look on calmly as the would be assassins commit suicide after he owns them all).
I like Lacus much better than Euphie. She looks and acts better, and cooler. Euphie is liked a preschool child given a nuclear weapon. Talk about a power trip. I hate her stupid voice too.
Peace.
It was a lot harder for me to swallow popstar turned underground nonviolent protestor than Euphie. Lacus always seemed more naive
At least Euphie seems to understand her limitations as a figurehead. She has admited that she doesn't have talent and charisma like her brother and sister. I don't think she really has the power to start negotiating peace either, especially when she is backed by a facist country.
[Your-Mom] Code Geass - 21
Wow, after seeing that I think I know how Chairmen Zala and Durandal felt. All those careful plots and machinations brought low by a single bright-eyed pink-haired girl with delusions of grandeur.
Euphie once again manages to throw the plot into an unexpected and interesting twist, what will become of this new plan of hers?

the other reason why Euphie isn't as annoying is that she's actually aware that she's "useless" and that her notions aren't fitting of someone in her post. And she doesn't act like everyone should follow her half baked notions of justice. So, and this boggles even my mind, I have to say that Euphie isn't quite as bad as Lacus... not yet at least...
However, like mentioned above, she really should know better because she was raised in a massive hereditary royal family, not just the daughter of politicians who could choose her area of interest, politics, music or otherwise.
on the other hand, Euphie hasn't tried to pull the "nobody needs to die in war" idealistic crap that I hate oh so much about recent Gundams. I totally think she will, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
christ, i thought Your-Mom wasn't going to sub once GG got back on track? I never liked those guys, always struck me as less talented Dattebayo-types who didn't have the reputation/bandwith to warrant pulling YHBT stunts... Are those turds actually doing a decent job nowadays?

One more note in defense of Euphie, like masamuneehs said, in episode 20, she realized exactly how worthless she is. She fully realized that she was being coddled and protected by everyone. Cornelia has been doing it to her for even longer, but since she came of age, Cornelia and all the others have been telling her "It's okay, we'll take care of it, you don't need to do anything."
There's a big difference between pacifists who don't do anything but whine, pacifists who know they can't do anything, and pacifists who can act on it by mediating. I believe Euphie will turn into the third type, now that she's fully realized how sheltered she was being.
Sure she's still annoying, but if she started throwing her power around, only Cornelia, her brothers, and her father could really question her. That would make her a lot more interesting.
Ok, funniest part of the series so far was when CC said "pizza" in this ep. That was hillarious.
Hell yea... I kinda felt her pain when the dough fell on the tree! she really looked like her whole plan since the beginning of the series was to have this giant pizza made. and the pink haired girl destroyed it all!
anyone think that the maid will have to be in on Zero's identity? unless zero himself won't know who she is?
Omg rofl at C.C. reaction to the loss of Pizza. xD!!
So loved that part. AnywayZ, I was so ready for Lelouch to Geass the bitch or for someone to snipe her. Christ! >.>
Wait... Lelouch's mom was an ace pilot...?
How many ways can things go wrong? It seems like everything is going against Lelouch now. And I'll never have guess the maid was working with Diethart, unfortunately Lelouch already used geass on her.
I guess Suzaku will have the Geass forever, seeing how the other girl was still carving the wall... It'll be like SEED mode all over again...
true... i never thought of it that way. this possibly makes Suzaku kinda powerful although unreliable.
and something i hadn't said before... Orange is BACK!
It'll be interesting to see if Suzaku will have some moment like when he would have to save Euphie, but the Geass prevents it...
Man did I love Lelouch's reaction at the end. It was so full of hate and angst. It was total bliss, then I saw Euphemia's smug little mug and got pissed. To relieve that anger, I backtracked to when Nina got trampled. Ahhh, that was amazing.
Lol I was so shocked at how much shit hit the fan I'd forgotten about C.C.'s pizza reaction. Priceless!
Haha, yea me too. I was sitting here, giving the same T_T reaction.
