I could see Shirley fans getting pissed at that implication, but I dunno why that'd stir haters up. If that's the kind of 'extra content' they're putting into this special edition, though, I gotta say that I am really not impressed.

Well, truth be told, I've learned to never put anything past otakus, so it's entirely possible that this is what got them mad. |

The death of Lelouch might have been done on purpose. Whether it was planned or not. If a person doesn't like how his TV show is progressing, as the result of executive interference, the creator simply kills off the main character. |

The "Special Edition" for the first season (Black Rebellion) was essentially the same as the show, only with a little more narration from C.C. There weren't any new details either. Was that also due to "disinterest"? At least in the case of "Special Edition: Zero Requiem" they included some of Rolo's and Shirley's thoughts, as redundant as they might be. In other words, I think this is just the nature of the product. Personally, I don't see any valid reason to criticize Shirley at this point, since it's not like she didn't have a good reason for having doubts. Lelouch had used his Geass on her. However, she was still true to herself in spite of that, which is more important. |

Anyway, you are correct Xander that we shouldn't be too surprised that we didn't get very much new information from the DVD. I think Shirley's narration was a little interesting and insightful, but still a lot of it does seem redundant as you said. To be honest, if it wasn't for a few bits of the narration (Shirley's first time seeing Lulu) I kinda wish they hadn't included it at all, since it just seems very needless and really just got our hopes up for nothing. |

Not every problem with R2 was caused by executive meddling. *facepalm*
I swear, some people act like CG season one was perfection embodied and R2 was a complete wallbanger. There were some problems with R2--notably pacing and the slow slide from Real Robot to Super Robot--but otherwise it's still enjoyable. I don't consider it discontinuity. Does anyone even know why Shirley is suddenly getting so much hate? The Geass reason seems stupid, since as mentioned, Kallen said the same thing. And nobody seems to care.

Even if the bullet was expelled I don't think the bleeding would have stopped. Shirley was pretty much screwed after Rolo shot her and it would've taken a LOT to save her. |

I think Bonzo was making a joke about giving Shirley the same Geass command that Suzaku had would've made her do the impossible.
In all seriousness, though, that Geass command of Lelouch's might've actually accelerated Shirley's death.

Yes I'm joking, after all, suggestion or not, shirley lost too much blood by now, then even if her body stopped the haemorrhage, the result was the same.
I made the joke thinking about the parody "code eross" where the female characters, at the order "fuck somebody"...for the great geass suggestion...a dick grow on their bodies End OT. |

I also recall a previous discussion about Shirley's death having been accelerated by the Geass command which led to more blood loss... |

And the bit about Lelouch's geass accelerating her death (due to the increase in bloodflow) is actually a very depressing thought. To think she could have had a few more seconds of life. |

You know, I'm gonna be honest, maybe I'm just slow, but I didn't get that until RD pointed it out. I always just thought of those shots as further indication of her oncoming death. I don't think it's "absolutely true" as you said, but it's probably true. On a side note, every time I see that pool of blood expand beyond Lelouch's feet it makes my heart sink.

I'll put it this way. Lelouch's command COULD have done some good if someone was pressing down on the wound and trying to staunch the bloodflow. The command caused her heart rate to go up, pumping more blood through the body. But with that open wound, it just caused her to bleed out faster.
So, if Lelouch was in less of a panic, he probably could've prolonged her life.
