I wonder if Clovis is really genuinely glad to see Lelouch alive.
Ah, our first look at Marianne's death. I still have trouble seeing how exactly this depiction fits with what we're shown later in R2; maybe the rewatch will help. Also, it's awful to see there's such hatred and division among the Britannians themselves over the commoners-nobles thing, in addition to their racism. I guess it keeps revolutions from happening, though. Ha.
Interesting that in response to "who killed her?" Clovis can only give the names of people who know -- and rather than acknowledging that phrasing, Lelouch thinks they're the main culprits. And Cornelia can't even offer anything later, iirc...
I still wonder if Lelouch's murder of Clovis was because he was on a power-high from the Geass, because he was testing how far he was willing to go, or what. (And it still doesn't stir much of a reaction in me other than "whoa, they actually offed a named character with a background and all this early in the series?")
--and with the flash to Ashford right after, it's almost disconcerting, the differences. But I do love outrageous, flirty Milly.
It's interesting, Lelouch's reaction to the memory of Clovis's death here when we see him do far worse later without batting an eye. I wouldn't say he suffers from a decay of morality, but rather that he becomes inured to it. Still kinda sad, though.
...It bugs me that Kallen's grades are at the top of the class in Ashford -- or so says Rivalz, at least -- but later on (in R2, I think?) Lelouch ranks her among the top members of the Black Knights as one of the least intelligent. Unless he's somehow amassed a collection of supergeniuses, I have trouble believing it. (I love her temper. "I wish I didn't have to act like a freaking invalid!")
...interesting. Lelouch said to her "answer my questions," but she only answered two before the Geass gave out. And we certainly see no signs of it kicking in later, so... what gives? I thought this thing was supposed to be absolute.
It's either kind of creepy how Nunnally can hear Lelouch coming before a trained ninja, or her blindness really has made her hearing amazing.
You have to wonder what sort of experimentation they were doing on C.C. without the Emperor's knowledge. Pictures of her from the past, a paper on "Freud's theory of the super-ego"...
"I wish the world were a gentle place." "When you can see again, I'm sure it will be." Ouch. OUCH. "I promise." OUCH. (I suppose a sword to the gut's a better way to go than swallowing a thousand needles, though. Marginally.)
He's lying, but "only not to her"... Omission of the truth isn't a lie, huh, Lelouch?
...where the hell did Rivalz get his hands on Moët et Chandon?? Unless it was a present from that old guy in episode 1 or something...
Kallen is way too trigger-happy with that knife. I don't know if she just thinks waving it around is going to automatically make things proceed the way they're supposed to or what.
And the timing on that phone call was just too uncanny. Oh Lulu, always pulling crazy shit like this. At least it's not as unbelievable as the Schneizel thing in R2, though.
...I love Kallen's intensity about things that only lets her notice she's not dressed when someone points it out to her. XD; Actually, I really didn't have much of an opinion on her one way or the other the first time through, but I really find myself liking her a lot this time around.
