R2 Episode 4 Discussion

[cardslash02.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, let's get some good discussion going here!

I especially want to hear everyone's thoughts on the way Lelouch manipulated Rolo (oh, and I guess that is the official spelling now). Is it not what the majority of us predicted?

Lelouch's actions do not surprise me at all. This is Lelouch after all. I don't think what Lelouch did was very nice understatement but I don't think it is any worse than what Lelouch did before. I also don't think this makes Lelouch a horrible bastard.

To Lelouch Rollo is not his brother but an imposter who is part of what took Nunally away from him. Thus he sees Rollo as his enemy. Lelouch still shows that there are people he cares about. Rollo just isn't one of them

Although it would be interesting if Lelouch does start caring for Rollo. If that happens Rollo will of course find out that Lelouch was just using him. That is guaranteed. Actually it is probably guaranteed he will find out even if Lelouch doesn't grow to care for him.

Really? I'm thinking that he's becoming more and more like his father. Then again, maybe he is already like him right from the very beginning. If he despises the emperor so much, he mustn't like himself very much to begin with.

That said, despite his brilliance, I still find it very difficult to imagine him ever being able to really topple the emperor...
