It went from "he got the code because of Nunally" with geass*net replying "The event was Nunally's own power." to "maybe he faked his death, that's why Sayako wasn't shown" to the death list not listing Sayako but plainly listing Lelouch as being killed. Think of any possible scenario and just about everyone of them has been addressed in some form or another.

This is really kind of hilarious, and also kind of sad. I mean, Code Geass' ending is really the only good thing about the whole season. It should be
more critically acclaimed than all the rest of it.
Unfortunately, the audience Code Geass attracted with its antihero harem lead just couldn't appreciate it. The crappiness of earlier writing even lead them to make a habit of taking wild speculation as truth. So now that we have official sources coming out to confirm the one thing which was consistently well done about this series (Lelouch's character development, culminating in his death)--which should have been obvious
anyway--we've got whiny fanboys (and fangirls too, I'm sure) coming out to label it bad writing. *exasperation*
