Yes, she's finally dead. Now we only have to wait for the other 923,871 characters in the this huge cast to die.
Long live the cat!

Shirley's scene was comparable to Euphie's, like someone else said. Perhaps a bit less emotional, but for me, R2 has been less on emotionally triggering than S1. Still, it's saddening that she died, especially in that manner. Rolo just became my new "Most hated CG character".
Having Jeremiah on Lelouch's side now will be a a huge asset. Maybe not for his Geass Cancellor, since most Geass users are with the BK, but more his loyalty, combat ability and inside information, especially if he remains in the Order as a spy. His canceller will be handy when Rolo switches, but not until then, lest Lelouch really wants to Geass people over and over.
You can add me to the list of people who expected Orange-kun's blade coming out of Lelouch's back when he disabled the Disruptor. In particular, it was the shot where his robotic eye contracted as if he regained his murderous intent.
Viletta...now she was rather interesting. At first, she was out to get Lelouch and C.C. Then she was forced to betray to keep her status. A few episodes before, she was quite happily doing Lelouch's bidding, and we could attribute that to Stockholm Syndrome. Given Jeremiah's appearance though, she had to evaluate her options. Was she to remain with the BK or take the chance and escape? In no time though, she came up with the decision that she did. So what's in it for her?

I thought that ep was weak.
Orange-kun alliance was foreseen last ep... but done in such a non appealing manner.
I've seen nothing that interresting in the rest of the ep. Just liked the immediate flying knife in VV forehead
Regarding Shirley's death, I find it very slightly intriguing we did not clearly see Rollo executing her.
Rollo has been presented as a quick and cold killer and we've seen him doing it very openly. Why is it this time it was "hidden"? And with a gun in the belly too when my memorry tells me he prefers small cutting neck blades?

I guess that might just be where we're heading now.
As always, Suzaku hate is strong with you, Gotwooters.I haven't been too hateful to that guy, so Rolo tops the list by my standards. I usually end up hating those who kill of characters I like.
One more thing I thought I'd mention, with Jeremiah around now, he provides the BK with a surefire way of dealing with any memory hacks the Emperor might use, so that solves our Kallen spy problem. Seeing how his fundamental flaw affects him, I'm guessing Jeremiah's going to die the same way he almost did this ep, most likely fulfilling one last mission from Lelouch.

Nope. It's just so hard to top Suzaku.
I actually thought Shirley's death was kinda sad, as the series went on she became less and less annoying. Its probably because she has been getting less and less screen time compared to season 1(I mean you cant really be annoyed with someone you do see much, Nina being the exception).
@Buffalobiian
No, way man, Suzaku is still the worst char in this series. As fas a Rolo goes I only moderately dislike him.
And ya, wtf? No Kallen that a big - for this episode, I was looking forward to the conversation between here and Nunnally.
Orange-kun's sudden side switch seemed like upper BS to me. I was expecting him to reek havoc on the OBK for at least a few episodes and he ends up joining up with Lelouch...I mean comon.
As for Sayako, shes freaken ninja...thats just AWESOME.

I think it's a bigger deal that Kallen wasn't in the ED. Everyone was in the ED except her. Could this mean she's getting killed off? I hope not.
Nah...she is in the Intro, and Shirley wasn't. Unless they change the intro again before the series end, and erase Kallen from it, she will not go (I hope)
While I am not rooting for Kallen on the romance department, I do not wish to see her die. She is one of my favorite characters in the series (mainly because of her VA [Holo from S and W]) and seeing Lelouch crushed is simply too pitiful.
EDIT: OMG please no space flight. CG has more than enough gundam similarities already.
Peace.
I haven't been hating Suzaku as much lately, so he ties with Rollo for me right now.
I think the Orange thing was a bit rushed, but it was perfectly believable. If you watched the picture book episode, it is not that hard to imagine switching sides to the heir of your former master (and idol). They did that a lot during the period of royalty (like Rome perhaps), so it only makes sense it is possible in this case.
About Sayoko, I told you guys she was freaking nuts (in a cool strong sort of way). That is how you use a Kunai, unlike Naruto where punching seems to be the preferred attack despite having a blade weapon.
Peace.
Agreed. Especially with Shirlys last speech to him about forgiving lelouch, makes think theyre eluding to Suzaku possibly switching sides.
Orange's switch of the sides was better this way, I deem. It's more believable he was already willing to join than to have some stupid shounen plot of beating him up and then he suddenly wants to join the "stronger" side that was able to beat him. That's hardly how the world and ideologies works.
It was a bit shocking to see Shirley go, though like has been said already, she started to seem like a prime candidate for the death list: She mattered to Lelouch yet didn't have much of a pivotal role otherwise.
Kallen has been too long a prisoner already, though. Something should be done already. Surely she isn't destined to be a prisoner for the rest of the series... Although she's only needed when heavy mecha fighting is going on and there has been little of that lately but still.
If Rolo kills Ninnally he wins.
You had me smile here.
Because it's true that whenever a white damsel in distress appears, she dies quite quickly.
Also true that Suzaku and Lelouch now share almost the same love and death scene.

Isn't it funny how Suzaku's carelessness (and of course Shirley's own foolishness) led to Shirley's death? It is very similar to how Lelouch's carelessness (and of course Euphy's own foolishness) led to Euphy's death. It seems that both of them have unintentionally robbed each other of a girl they liked (more or less).
Leaving Shirley alone (well, with useless guards) was of course without any bad intention, and Suzaku could not have known things would turn out this way, but the same can be said for the Euphy situation before. If there is any blame on Lelouch for that incident, then this incident should place blame on Suzaku as well. I hope Suzaku realizes this much if and when he finds out Euphy's death was an accident. Otherwise, may Shirley's ghost *@&# his ass.
Peace.
I'm still wondering wether Rollo is the one who killed Shirley.
But maybe I'm just stretching things uselessly
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
It probably was Rollo, but who was in that area that could have done it? Maybe Sayoko to throw that out there and maybe Suzaku when he wasn't busy running the police if he overheard there conversation?
I think it was Rolo. He was obviously pissed, and unless it was his idea of shutting someone up, Geassing Shirley would only point out a killing intent.
About Kallen...I'm sure everyone noticed that the Gurren and the Lancelot shared the same Float Unit design. So far, Float units, like the seat in the cockpit, has been representative of each side's knightmare development. Both units using the same design can be deduced to being equipped by the same person. Now, it can either mean one of them is stolen, which is unlikely since they match their respective mechs, which leaves the fact that they're on the same side. Question is now, who's with who? Also, I might as well make a bold guess now, those are going to be Space Flight capable.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Oh maaaannn...... damn, my beloved Shirley is dead...
I'm so sad that I'm going to bed now
I hope Shirley is going to be resurrected or something like that... I don't want this to be true ~~;
all this talk about reincarnation at the end, something MUST happen now!
sad KrayZee is sad... 8[
