Turn 14, Lulu, VV and everyone else

[recodes.livejournal.com]

I know it's only been an hour after the episode finished, but if I don't write this down now, I'd probably forget later ~_~ So... my thoughts about this turn...

1. I have to give Lulu lots of credits for managing to appear calm after Shirley's death, unlike the mess Suzaku seemed to put himself in after Euphie died.
   
   
2. When did Lulu actually have the set installed in front of the entrance? Even I thought he was still in Ashford O_o
   
   
3. Is Suzaku completely evil, or is he completely desperate to go against Lulu? I love him and all, but for him to persuade Kallen this way... Feeding Kallen the bullshit that Lulu killed Shirley is one thing, but to drug her with refrain is another... WTF Suzaku?!!!
   
   
4. I think we were wrong when we thought VV expected Jeremiah to go against him. Apparently, he was shocked to find Lelouch at the other end of the line when the call connected. And if his "Jeremiah, even you too...!!" means anything, then he really didn't expect this.
   
   
5. Took VV a while to notice the one in Vincent was Rolo :P
   
   
6. Charles' "My son Lelouch! The time has come!' comment now convinced me that the stage for the finale had been planned all along... Ugh.
   
   
7. The little kids with Geass ability that we saw in the scans before :D They called Rolo 'Rolo-oniichan'~ Now I really don't want Rolo to die, though Lulu was ready to detonate Vincent in order to trap/kill VV.
   
   
8. LOL at Toudou and Chiba in the bedroom ~__~
   
   
9. CC's apology to the cult members before destroying them, saying they were all in the mess now because of her 'sin'. Needs Turn 15 now!
   
   
10. VV, with his hair in a mess, looks so much like Clovis :D
    
    
11. EDIT: Bartley x Clovis should be made canon O_o

I have a question...

So, since Lelouch has discarded his Zero mask, is his identity somehow out in the open now? I was sure there were other members present during the attack against the cult. Or was I reading into it too much? Hmm... I'd love for this to happen soon.

And for everything else I forgot to mention, let the discussion rolllll~

So far I really haven't seen that much Suzaku hate outside of /a/. If you have a problem with how they treat Suzaku's character, don't rant about it on an unrelated site.

And re: your argument for Suzaku;

SHORT STORY: baby boy is just as fucked up as Lelouch.

LONG STORY: he threatened to do something extremely unethical to obtain information he already knows to be true so he can arrest Lelouch instead of just going after Zero. While he could simply continue with the tactic of going after Zero when he appears, which has not been very successful. Instead this move shows that he is prepared to put aside his morals in a quest for justice, even if it means hurting one of his friends.

Furthermore, when talking to Kallen, we note that he immediately states that it was Lelouch who killed her; something completely unproven and bordering on a lie. One could say that anyone would assume the same thing, but as a member of a higher law enforcement... type thing, one would suspect that it would be his duty to thoroughly research things before making such accusations. Finally; threatened? Suzaku already knows that Kallen's trust to Zero is endless, there's no way he's going to get the response he wants without the drugs. I read it as a statement, frankly.

I'm not saying that Suzaku is some saint compared to Lelouch; I believe they're both very fucked up in different ways. At this point I don't think we should hold either of them above one another, because they've both done fucked up shit and will probably be even in the Oh Shit You Fucker tally by the end of the series.

Please don't make assumptions about me, thanks. I don't touch /a/ with a bargepole.

They're both messed up, which is my whole original point - yet Suzaku is the one taking all the fandom's hate.

Well, as that's the only place I really know of that hates Suzaku with a burning rage, so I just assumed, Sorry!

Lelouch isn't without his haters either. I've seen him compared to Hitler by fandom within the last two minutes! It's really a mixed bowl, it more depends on where you look.
