I think it's rather opposite for Suzaku's case: fighting against Britannia would be much easier since there would be no holds barred, or less restraint for him. If he had turned to the side of the rebels, he'd likely have fallen into the JLF category and held bystanders hostage to promote his cause. But on the Britannian side... he is not going to hunt down innocent Elevens to stop the rebels. The motivation behind his plan, however, is weak because he doesn't know the empire of Britannia all too well. That is pure naivete.

Problem is, he killed his father. If he were able to just put it aside would make him more of a hypocrite. The moment he starts fighting against Britannia, he admits that his father was correct and that he killed him for no reason... making most of his life up to that point... pointless.

Certainly, I don't particularly like her character, I'm just mounting the small amount of defense afforded to her by the writers The least we can do is consider all the evidence. Heck, Ill even throw in my own opinion. She should have stayed with her computer simulations and not bothered with romance at all.

Eh. Nina was alright. I didn't hate her. But I suspect you were supposed to not be on the side of Britiannia but I was. So maybe that's why I don't hate her.
I do however hate Kallen/Karen. I cannot stand her. I think she's overrated and was a peice of eyecandy. She did do alot and was crucial to the plot in some ways but those spots could have been filled without her. I know somebody is going to try and have me hunted down for that little comment but I just don't like her.

I wouldn't really describe her character as overrated since she was really the champion of the Knights prior to them acquiring the Gawain. But she really is just a piece of eyecandy. Imagine replacing her with an average looking girl with the same determination, same zeal, etc. and there wouldn't that much of a hype over her.
But for Kallen's character, there's really nothing left in terms of complexity. She will no longer cast any doubts about her position relative to what Suzaku is doing (having second thoughts since the Elevens showed signs of admiration), though there may be a potential conflict (of ideals) between her and Lelouch. |

I always enjoyed Kallen's character not just because of eye candy, but because while Lelouch was the brains Kallen was the muscle. Complete opposites even down to their reasons for fighting. Lelouch is avenging his mother while fighting to create a world for his sister. Kallen is fighting to avenge her brother while creating a safe world for her mother.

In reality, it's like Nina's char was created for the sole purpose of starring in all the shit scenes. Need someone to be racist against 11s? Nina. Need someone to hump a table? Nina. Need someone to be a creepy obsessive stalker? Nina. Need someone to build a nuke and then threaten to kill everyone? Nina.

Hit the spot with the Nina character evil plushie, but don't you need a character like Nina in an anime like this. I mean the thing is about discrimination and stuff and in that kind of show you need a character like Nina to show how the extreme (bit less) side thinks and acts. That is why the character of Nina exists. But i hope she blows herself up in some hell-hole in the middle of nowhere.
