Ah the double standards of Geass. I freaking hate them. The the Order can do whatever the heck it feels like and get treated fine cause they're the Order?
I'm used to it already,LL and his Order is above all laws and moral...

Oh,I'd like to bring back the discussion about whether refrain can be considered a truth serum or not.
This is actually not the 1st time someone consider using refrain to find out Zero identity,in R1 ep21 Ougi did think about using it on Villeta so that she can reveal Zero identity.Now,if Ougi considered using it on his girlfriend the effect might not be that bad,It also prove Suzaku didn't do it just to get back at LL since it can actually confirm whether LL regained his memory and come back to being Zero or not

Villetta had amnesia. Refrain likely would have jumpstarted her memory because that's what it's designed to trigger. After that, he could just ask her. With Kallen, who has her memories, it's a shot in the dark hoping he'll hit something recent.

Better than nothing, don't you think?
As long as there is a chance, it's worth trying.

Admittedly yes. She's obviously not gonna talk, and as long as Lelouch is out there more people like Shirley will die (obviously not but that's what Lelouch made Suzaku think) We are also assuming that all he wants from her is Lelouch's indentity which might not be the entire case. He also could be hoping for info on Lelouch's location plan, reasons for doing what he's doing etc.

It's harsh and not exactly a moral thing to do but he's already lost two people to Lelouch (If you weren't such a complusive liar we wouldn't have this problem, Jesus Lelouch!) and doesn't want to lose anymore. What you think Lelouch wouldn't do this in the same position if he didn't have Geass?

The only reason I'm slightly against this is that it's Kallen who's one of the closest things to good people on this show who aren't Euphie or Nunnally. Yeah she's a fighter and she's killed people but she's still more or less a decent and honorable person who hasn't done anything immoral, kind of like Guilford.

And that's exactly why i want her to be drugged. She is one of those people, who haven't suffered enough. And i want all of important characters to suffer.

Okay. She's lost her brother to war, practically lost her mother to both Refrain and a lengthy prison sentence, her father...well, seemingly doesn't give a care about what she does (though this is debateable), she had to deal with the events of Stage 23, and she wasn't pleased at all, by them, and the heart-rending revelation of Zero's true identity at the end of season one, she had to deal with, though not mentioned, the deaths of a great many of her comrades at the end of R1, she almost lost her leader to the very same object that cursed her mother to a life of bleakness, and that's before she got herself captured and Suzaku cornered her, and you say she hasn't suffered all that much?

Prisoner of War.

Ever watched Hogan's Heroes? Most of the cast in that are POWs.

Yes, I do.
Refrain incident with her mother ended in her favor.
Losing comrades? Everyone lose them, so I don't count it.
Zero identity? It ended in her favor also, because now Lelouch is Zero is one person to her.
She needs to lose something, which will make her suffer to the rest of series. I guess you can count her brother here, but it happened so long ago. I want to see their expressions when they lose something. They need to suffer.
And overcome everything.

Oh, yes, she's really going to overcome it if, by chance, Suzaku just keeps using enough Refrain to make her a mindless, craving addict, isn't she?

Some characters are bond to die
And I'm sure that her lovely reunion with Lelouch will give her strength to overcome her refrain addiction.
And is it bad to have one character with addiction? It only makes things more interesting.
Anyway, i'm fine if she will not be drugged, because then it will increase chances of harem ending ( in my mind), which is also good.

Lol, i guess i used wrong phrase. But if she is really going to get drugged to the point of addiction, i don't see her future ending really good. This will certainly destroy any chances of Lelouch X Kallen and increase chances of Lelouch staying single and increase chances of her dieing. IMHO.

Cancel the geass on her (nothing bad, she'd regain her memories of the questioning and realise that Lelouch already knows her past and reasons to fight) and then geass the addiction out of her.

Are you talking about geass?
I wonder if geass can cure addiction. Certainly, it will remove her mental pain and addiction, but her body still will need drug. Geass doesn't affect victim's body.
But it certainly will be easier to cure her with geass.

About drug addiction in wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_addiction

Edit:
We know way to little about Refrain. Does it give only mental addiction ( necessaries for happy moments) or physical addiction (Withdrawal)

He isn't suggesting it is truth serum. He simply said that he doesn't care anymore and that he will use refrain to... For all you know, his sentence may have ended with 'torture'. It has been noted within the CG continium that there is a truth serum somewhere in the world, C.C. makes note of that. Refrain is an illegal hallucinogen that simply knocks someone off their rocker for a few hours. It is niether credible (unlike a truth serum to a degree) nor is it even remotely guaranteed/effective in what he wants.

As I said, this has nothing to do with 'I hate Suzaku", this is me saying, "This is utterly idiotic." His actions, if they are a ploy, are stupid for these reasons: His hands are now occupied, he's in a small room, and the person he's threatening has a chair right behind them they can smash over his head. What part of his miniscule brain planned this out? If he goes to restrain her first, then the noise and struggle would likely attract attention. If his intent is to drug her, he'd have a better chance throwing darts at a board of possible Zeros in the dark.

As I said, I have no qualm with it being Suzaku, I simply do not like his utter stupidity in the situation. He's just twirling his mustache for the sake of feeling good.

I'm just not being as dismissive as you because it would not shock me in the least if the writers simply made her have a Lulu memory as to fit the modus operandi of the story at this point...A thousand pardons if I don't just see it as Suzaku's a b!tch so the entire basis of analyzing this scenario gets thrown outta the window for me...
The only thing I have assumed is that Lelouch is not more important to her than her family when it was whole. (Hell, I'd even be happy if it did turn out that way, so that I get some poo to fling around.) I did not say you were going off the deep end, I simply said it is highly unlikely for this to give Suzaku what he wants. The chance of it being as you say is no better than me taking a horse and trying to fit it into a Doll House Barn. Certainly it is possible by what definition I use for inside the Doll House Barn, but by the time I get the horse into the barn, I'll likely have destroyed the barn.

The simple fact that he is acting without basis and on his little vendetta against Lelouch makes him a bitch, but that is not what I am even talking about. This series of events, and his plan, make him into a collosal moron. If he had at least brought out hand-cuffs first, maybe.

Your stupidity is showing.
There is no 'in her favor' in having her mom be a vegetable due to drugs and in prison for twenty odd years. That's simply a better than worse, bad end. She's lost her mother for twenty years no matter how you look at it.
You don't count friends she's lost because others have lost them too? Idiotic.
Oh good, you made an actual point. Thought I was wasting my time.
Let's see, she's lost her mother, her brother, her father, her heritage, her friends, her country, and she's been removed from the man she loves and with no guarantee of living to see him again. Seems... like she's lost quite a bit, time doesn't matter because she's clearly not just up and forgotten about her brother. She lost him and she knows.

Your logic... which is devoid of logic... baffles me.

Dude since we’ve hit cyclical mode at this point I’m just gonna end it like this…By a show of hands (or I guess mouse-clicks or something), who would fall outta their computer chairs, bust their heads open, and have their dreams shattered if Suzaku injected Kallen with refrain and she had a Lulu memory which would expose something to Suzaku? Who thinks that’s appalling or totally out of bounds in-terms of CG’s ever expanding context as a drama? I believe the answer to this question is clear…So when//if you fall backwards, please have a pillow ready man…
