No, you are not alone. I can see Schneizel could very well be the "lesser of two evils." Quote:

So just trying to break down the sides. Where is Anya and what side will she stand on? Since when they showed the Rounds for a brief moment she wasn't hanging out with them. Really feel for that girl who has had her life used way too much.

schneizel of the rebellion ftw but honestly i hope that lelouche doesn't resort to geassing the whole world, that would go against what he fought for...even geassing the people in front of him to acknowledge him was kinda bad...well he can always cancel it after he makes the whole world understand his view, of course no one would acknowledge him if he just pounced out haha thats a very good point...but poor girl, being used so much |

Rushed pacing, significant missing time between ep 20 and 21, plot twist after plot twist with a brash disregard for consistency. Sure they might be rushed since there's a limited number of episodes available, however compared to ep..19(?) with the Tokyo battle, which was also rushed (but well done i might add), it had an air of plausibility whereas ep21 just seemed like content was tossed together to for the sake of creating plot twists. V2 killing Marianne, then tampering with evidence by planting nunnally at the scene even though Charles had the memory rewriting geass, made no sense in terms of continuity...Lelouch not batting an eye when he was told Nunnally was found, etc. The dialogue between Charles and Lelouch, imho, was really well done and goes to show that Fukuyama Jun does an amazing job as an extravagant over-exaggerating character (as he did in Valkyria Chronicles as Maximillian). VV's voice acting sounded more...forced...than before. |

As for me, I can say Episode 21 basically ruined both seasons in mere 20 minutes. Why is it? Basically, the whole portrayal of Charles was absolutely deceiving into irrational proportions. Pretty much like what several people said, Charles was a ruthless emperor that used Darwin's theory to its full extent to the point he was the direct cause of many miseries. Yet, the scripters make him look like a good guy? That is nonsense. The most ridiculous point is actually how they show him as a "caring father"... sure : why would he order rolo to kill lelouch should he recover his memories of being zero? What is even more ridiculous is the "KEIKAKU DORII" effect in the end. Charles and Marianne planning lelouch in that stuff? This is basically nonsense as well. How would they know he would be able to contact CC? How would they know he would want such revenge and being so successful? Lelouch had a lot of sheer luck and could die in many fashion. Since geass is very "customized" to the user, how would they expect him to have such convenient power? The whole deal with code geass is that its premises is conflicting with its real background which is the biggest issue here. Basically we have 2 nutcases characters who wish to end the world and turn it into a soup with the dead and whatever. AND they wanted to protect their children. The good part of this episode was how Lelouch rightfully demonstrated that both parents were just silly. Now, let's go further shall we? We have the world of C that is under the effect of geass, which was considered as god... Okay, so the power of the kings, which was shown as able to have an effect of human brain... suddenly was able to enslave a god. And now, the biggest fun is that jupiter is no longer in available and whatnot... And the most interesting part: the execution. Not only everything was poured in not even half the episode, but the characters were simply like stakes. Charles knew what Lelouch was trying to do, yet he is leaving him using all of his speech about whatever he could do etc? What about Suzaku barging in the fray while Lelouch seems to understand his point here? They skipped a lot of things and dragged also meaningless points... Let's also add the fact that they again used a time skip instead of settle things between Suzaku and Lelouch. Finally, we have got schneizel having fun on his side as well... I honestly cannot see that as "good writing" at all: they abused their ability to surprise the watchers, and broke their own scope of the stories. R2 suffered a lot of its pace and themes issues but episode 21 was the pinnacle. They piled up too much twists to the point it just disjointed the story into... "before" and "now". Basically we have "before R2 episode 21" and "after". Certainly great in continuity... not.
