Well, he saved the entirety of the BKs along with Kallen. That's important. He revealed that his dream was to become a bureaucrat in R1 and that, if he didn't join the Order or have his dream, he would have used Refrain. He zealously defended Zero until the end and was the last to turn against him, next to Kallen...
and Cornelia? or that chick who is in love with todler? all useless screentime. Guess it's al for the development. Ow and now that I think about it why is todler so angry? is his lover dead?
The problem I had with this episode was the lack of the element of surprise at the cliff-hanger. Now that things seem to be moving towards the conclusion, there is no more of the feeling you get at the beginning of the show (like when the episode ends when Suzaku had Lelouch talk with Nana-chan, when Jeremiah had appeared while talking to V.V., or when Rolo reviled his Geass) I mean, these have people going ''OMG, that was so evil!!! I want next episode now''. This episode ended with a ''and the finale battle wages on...'' vibe. Other than that, I was happy with how things progressed so far. And also, I must say that the design of Damocles is simply put, fantastic. Teraoka should really get an award for designing the architecture of the show. He managed to balance between realism and fantasy for each structure, and give the final battle a more exciting sitting than a simple battle in the sky.
I want to wait for the sub so I can understand what happened in regards to the characters, but I can say that I am glad that they are starting to bring Xingue back to the spot light.
Oh and that look Suzaku gave the Lancelot was the saddest thing I seen.

He should've had curtains close on them after that (just like in a play)

Poor Lelouch, he doesn't sound confident . We have confidence in you. Zero is the man who creates miracle.
Spoiler for No worries:
Don't worry, because FRIENDSHIP is stronger than any amount of nuclear bombs
"That is why we must embrace carnage. In order to not waste the blood that has already been shed, we have no choice but to shed even more."- Lelouch Vi Britannia
That's the first time since the begining of R2 that Leouch got involved with Nunnally and didn't end up being completely pathetic. well done, lelouch! you're finally able to cantrol yourself
but still I feel sorry for him, at the end he had to lie to her, and about such a thing as well...
and Suzaku is as annoying as ever, he could as least worry a little about Nunnally, after all she WAS his freind as well.
UGH Are you most of you actually rooting for Lelouch because he's the "good guy"?! Schneizal and Lelouch are pretty gray with more darkness than white.
A pretty good episode, IMO, but to me there wasn't enough action. I at least wanted to see a kickass animation of Kallen owning, say, ten KMFs simultaneously. Oh well, maybe next episode.
So once again, Nunnally is a pawn toward someone else's goals. This time, it's Schneizel's goal of becoming a god. That pretty much removes any death flag I might've had on her, and places one squarely on Schneizel's head for manipulating such an innocent girl. Here's hoping Lelouch Geasses him into seppuku.
Cornelia's death was certainly unexpected for me, especially considering how inglorious a death it was. She was a great character, and seeing her die like that is pretty tragic. People might hate me for this, but I don't see her getting up from being riddled in the back by a machine gun.
With only two more episodes to go, one has to wonder what will happen. I didn't give this episode a perfect due to its lack of awesome action; it had a lot more potential than what it used. Let's hope the next two episodes make up for it with a clash between Suzaku and Kallen!

Lelouch isn't a "good guy", but he's still the protagonist. This is not the first time a morally ambiguous character has been a protagonist (see Death Note, Dexter, etc.)

Sayako was missing in this battle.
...No, she wasn't missing, she was standing next to Lelouch for the battle.
A good episode.
Nice insert of Innocent Days, as well as "Love is Justice" when FLEIJA is fired.
And fuck, i don't know who I want to support? Why Schneizel is just as awesome ( or even more) than Lelouch?
Ah, Schneizel, I want you to win. Even if that means nuking a few capitals, which "fuels" war.
Lelouch and Nunnally's scene is awesome. Lelouch certainly knows how to keep his mask ( Schneizel, you are wrong here).
Lelouch X C.C. scene is nice. And scnes after that, accompanied by Innocent Days.
Lancelot Albion looks awesome in it's ring release scene.
~Tactics~
And Schneizel pwns everyone. After writing my review I'm sure of it.
Schneizel, I hope you will survive.
Blame everything on Nunally! ( LOL)
Yeah uhh no you're wrong. Cornelia and everyone BESIDES those who were named died.
Amazing.
First you said that the three girls were dead.
Then you try to troll me by bringing this up, even when you know full well that I was refering to named characters only. No wonder miasmacloud's geass trainwreck blog has a less than stellar opinion of you.
The extended preview confirms that they all survived.
Whenever I discuss this episode I keep forgetting to mention Anya, so I just wanted to drop her name in here for people that also over looked her in this episode.
Well, aside from saying that she would make Suzaku and Lelouch 'memories' in her blog, she did nothing else...I do wonder if she'll survive the coming storm, though.

I mean they keep making it a point to bring her up, like with Nezil in the bridge, so it seems like she could go insane or something at any moment. xD
I loved it when "Innocent days" played after the LelouchxC.C. convo, then it shows Lloyd, his assistant, and Nina. Nina eats one of the assistant's sandwiches... so random. Lloyd makes some unshared comment about her food. lool
