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?

...are my initial thoughts right after watching episode 4. Thinking about it though, it does come to mind that what he's doing is one of the few ultimate self-sacrifices. I'm aware he said something about having to be the biggest evil of them all but...I don't really want him to see him go down that path and not look back even a bit cos even though he'll retain the very essence of his being, at least, he'll still lose everything else in order to achieve his goal.

that said, I still think he's a lot more like his old man than i'm sure he'd like to admit. xD

Um. Suzaku didn't shoot him, but I think that was still pretty hurt, hopeless, and humanizing.

Lulu bounced back. Curses!

I think Lulu losing everything is supposed to be a theme, here. Since the geass contract did state it would condemn him to a life of solitude 'n' all that. Hurts to watch, though.
