So, Schneizel being evil was... thrown out the window right? Yes? Yeah, that is what I thought. His whole objective seemed to be to die for world peace. He put his mask on perfectly. XD It is a shame he got Geassed though... Ah well, if he lives through this mayhem, I will be happy. He cares more than he let on. Spared Cornelia, don't know where the fuck Guilford came from though. XD
And it seems "everyone dies" may have been overstated. More like everyone lives. XD |

Although Cornelia rising to some leadership position would be out of the blue... I don't think it would be half bad. She already recognized the faults of her father and, when talking to the miraculously alive Guilford in 24, sees the faults in Schneizel's thinking. She's also been there to see the same things as Lelouch has.. people rising up against unhappiness, etc. to try and create a better tomorrow. Granted for the first season, she was painted as the "bad guy" for a lot of this, but the fact that she was ready to abdicate her position for the throne to clear Euphy's name marked a change in her. We also don't know what happened while she was "captured" by Lelouch. Despite her character development being very subtle, all in all, she is a very different Cornelia than the one we were introduced to in the beginning of first season. Her return SHOULD serve some purpose... I doubt it will be the next ruler of Britannia, but even if it is, she seems to be a bit more fit for the role now. Hopefully there will be some purpose to her return... I just wonder what it is...

I also don't think he "spared" Cornelia. Shooting someone in the back isn't exactly what you call "sparing" someone. You don't expect them to survive that, and the fact she did is pretty miraculous. Maybe he didn't give her the final blow when he found out she was still alive, but he still shot her in the back which is pretty symbolic of betrayal... to even the closest member of his family. I think Schneizel is a great character in CG. I wish they had taken the time to develop him more (back to my theory that they should have had 2 1/2 seasons... the first the Japanese front, the second the international front, the third of 13 episodes with Lelouch as emperor and Schneizel siding with the UK). But in the end, he was flawed, just like everyone else in the series. |

They didn't even set up Schneizel being geassed, he just was. It kind of makes Schneizel look like an idiot to be defeated so easily. I could see where Taniguchi was going, but the problem is that he made it too dark to pull off a happy ending without making it look like he did it to appease the fanbase. |

Meh, casualty of war, you don't get the glorious endings that you think you deserve, you just get what you do Meh, we still have a lot of 'issues' to resolve, so I think it'll be fine personally, nobody isn't going to get away unscathed if that's what your saying. I think the ending will suit the series and its overall progression fine personally, I have faith it will

So Lelouch, being, well, Lelouch, did the same thing he did to Mao because he KNEW what Schneizel wanted and KNEW his thoughts just as well as Lelouch knew his. So BAM, a recording practically showing a convo between the two when infact he was right next to them all along. XD That is what happens when it is those two though. They just knew each other too well. So it was set up. We just didn't see it coming. |

Also Schneizel comes off like an idiot letting Lelouch sneak up behind him. Its Lelouch not Solid Snake. Quote:
I have agreed countless times on pacing, it needed to have been longer, and it needed to have better focus. Given the past episode, I simply misinterpeted the interview thinking he was some great artist striving against the idiots at Bandai and Sunrise, instead of a simple director who just wanted to tell a story. |

Schneizel just wants to be fabulous. He don't really care about anyone else actually. But his fabulousness led to his downfall at the end.
Honestly tho, kinda love to see Diethard die like that. Being killed by two person that he wanted to record most lol |

There is still a difference, that's why the whole saying is "stabbed in the back." She was openly disagreeing with him and ready to face him (we don't even know if she was going to attempt to kill him), and he just shot her the back. One is courage and one is cowardess.

LOL well he was "done" recording Zero, which is why he made the move to shoot him. He really was justice for Diethard... his last line of wanting a Geass really cracked me up. He was a kiss ass right to the bitter end. But I still say they should release an OVA that documents CG from his point of view. It would be hilarious LOL
