Oh, I don't mind ZR at all!
I love ZR. I think it was messed up, but I also think it was perfectly in character. Lelouch only did what he saw was best. In his eyes it was a perfect plan, and
that's the part that makes his sacrifice for it so special -not whether it actually worked or not.
It's kind of like watching a blind man try to paint. You know it's wrong, but it's beautiful anyway.
