opinions regarding r2 episode 2

OMFG I'M SORRY. I THOUGH I CUT THIS WTF.

I'm pretty sure everybody could've guessed that Rollo was the one in that yellow Lancelot.

In any case, it was rather interesting to find out that he had Geass.

Though I still wonder why the Emperor let Lelouch live. Was that out of compassion?forgot about the fact that cc lived, rofl.

I really got this feeling that all the Suzaku personalities we've watched until now were nothing but a lie and the real Suzaku is this guy who betrays his best friend in such a hideous way without even giving it a second thought.

Well. I wouldn't go that far. Personally killing your ward/love interest/object upon which you staked all your hopes for yourself and your future AND profiting off that death in order to use it as propaganda, I think, would send anyone into a fit of rage. And Suzaku wasn't exactly all there up in the head at that point (or at any point, really), anyways. It's clearly difficult for him to move on from deep psychological trauma, and I don't think this is any different. His profound anger is completely warping how he sees his world and his place in it.

I still think that deep down inside--deep, deep down inside, past that molten covering of RAAAAGE--he's still a good guy.

I also think that, Suza-kun was kind in a berseck-mode in episodes 24-25; also he's more action than brains.

...I really want to believe that. And since he's also quite violent deep inside, that probably triggered that cold personality he doesn't let out quite often...? He went so far in there, I was quite shocked.

Hmm. We didn't really have enough time to check on Suzaku's "current" personality, but his reaction to Zero's appearance late on this episode wasn't as bad as a year ago now that I think about it. Maybe that's a hint? I wonder if he regrets what he did. Because if he does, then it sure changes a lot.

I do think so, but let's be honest, in a certain way Lelouch did betray him; Suzaku tried to cover his as and what does he gets? The girl he loves killed in a masacre his friend accidentally made? I'm really surprised that Lulu didn't got a bullet in his brain.
