That scene was idiotic and lazy. It was an example of atrocious writing.

I didn't say anything of the sort. We just assumed wrong. but the hints were still there. We just didn't think Marianne had Geass or anything like that. Fuck, we should have suspected more just because she had herself "killed." The whole thing was just set up. The wrtiers pulled a fast one, but there are ZERO plot holes from it, and it was STILL hinted at. We just never thought about it. Doesn't make it weak foreshadowing.

Oh for fuck's sake. She conveniently locks up her memories, where we were led to believe that she lost them and her code for five episodes, and recovers them because she was conveniently at the platform where the Mordred could find her. Oh come on.
I fail to see why this is a problem. Again, we just never THOUGHT ABOUT IT. Doesn't make it "convenience." And again, it can easily be reasoned away with her running into Anya. I think you are just nit picking now Var. So out of character for you...

Exactly. Why do they act like it is something new? Season 2 is not Season 1, but Season one also had its share.

That scene at least had foreshadowing. Where did Euphie going insane and going on a killing spree come from? Some foreshadowing that was.

People will only see what they want to see...

No, that doesn't count. The idiotic one million people thingy was only the main point and the Title of an entire episode. That obviously couldn't be as much as worse than what happened to C.C. in 21!

I am nitpicking because of all the bullshit justification people have been posting today to explain away glaring problems in plot developments. No one is going to think about it because few people are going to go for such a plot convenient piece of bullshit. I hate plot convenience especially of this magnitude. I hated it last season with Euphemia, I rightfully hate it still.

And to be frank, I don't give a shit. Why? Because when this happens it happens to conclude plot points. It occured with Euphemia so that her plot-line would finally end. Guess who's on the chopping block now? C.C., Marianne, and Charles.

Rakshata arriving with Kallen's Guren upgrades right when she happened to be falling...that was also a crock of shit. I would have raged hard if I had actually been posting when it happened.

I hate deus ex crap.

Why people don't just enjoy the show for what it is? There are always wild twists in movies etc. It will be boring if before each episode the people could guess what will happen.

I prefer to be surprised. And the guren scene was awesome

You assume too much. If Marianne is working with Schneizel I wonder if she will go away so soon.

Apparently people are not understanding what Var is trying to point out. There was barely any development up to this huge revelation. The other coincidences had more emphasis to them. And the one million Zero thing is no comparison and Var has already explained why. Also Suzaku's super human abilities while they may compare due to lack of explanation it wasn't such a plot moving device. Using this C.C./Anya event pisses some off because its just basically the writers pulling something out of their ass to move the plot forward and conclude things without any deep dive into it. I've come to the conclusion that thw writers have put too many sub plots and other shit into the show that they are just creating events/happenings out of the blue to solve/conclude these points.

I love Code Geass greatly but I feel the quality in the writing keeps going down each and every episode.

Except the reasoning makes sense on the basis that 1) it works, and 2) still makes sense in the end.

Oh for fucks sakes. This is a fucking ANIME. This isn't "Citizen Kane" here. Code Geass is a fantastic ANIME, but there is NO SUCH THING as a perfect anime series that is a TRUE masterpiece. You want that, then the only anime related thing you are going to find being "perfect" would be Miyazaki films.

There will ALWAYS be weird damn coincidences, strange occurrences, and wtf moments. You need to stretch you belief here enough. Is there a lot of coincidences in Code Geass? of course there is! So I have NO problem with what happened because, you know what? It WORKS!

The plot is rushed, but that's not new. People were "O_O" when Ougi appeared still fine without any wound after the cliff scene. And there is still no explanation about it.

I guess I am not that demanding about those plotholes.

Yes, but that's not justification for just suddenly throwing something into the mix. Guidohunter summed up my point of view for me and probably better than I could have given my current state of mind.

That's not what I want, I have no problem with coincidences, what I dislike is things that simply appear out of nowhere. This appeared out of nowhere for the sake of the plot. Sure it works, Euphemia's incident worked too, doesn't mean they handled it well. They handled it like utter shit, but people still eat it up like candy.

Can someone remind me what bitching about anime development has to do with C.C. again? I must've missed that.

Except this moment was built up from Episode 1 of season one and was hinted at through the whole damn series. We just never caught on. The only valid thing Var has here is that it was rushed and not handled as well as it could have been. But it was still handled as well as it can be at this point.

I was pissed about that as well, but the main thing is that a few plotholes is something I could deal with in this show in the early goings, but now its becoming so common. The quality that was once there is just fading away with all the rushed events and clutter of sub-plots. Not to mention all the usless characters that they waste time trying to develop when they reallt didn't need them in the first place. My example for this is Gino.

The C.C. thread is like that. When some people post here, it's just to complain or to fill this thread with hate.

That's not new! I wish I was a kallen fan instead.
