The one military guy even mentioned that they took the risk of bringing the bait to the outskirts of the city. I'll bet they figured that the BKs would be more likely to steal away Lelouch when farther away from the city.

Well after a few days at my lake house and coming back to a completely dead wireless network I finally got a chance to watch this today.
Great episode not at all what I was expecting but it was still a great episode overall. I can't say there is to much to say about it though. They basically just started up the new series the same way as the last one and really were left with a ton of questions but no real answers. I still can't wait for next weeks episode though.
Quick question on subbers at this point I'm thinking I'll go with eclipse due to speed/quality. Anyone have any other suggestions for the current groups doing it?
The person shooting at Lelouch and Rollo was probably missing on purpose to help push him where they wanted him.
DDBen, gg did speedsub the first episode out, so if you're really chomping at the bit to watch the week's episode, you should download theirs. However, they still seem to be recovering from their little internal strife, so the subs are not quite what they once were. Eclipse is usually insanely fast with great quality (largely due to streamlining the process and some very talented members that came from all kinds of other groups when they first formed), but on occasion, Eclipse can be a little slower at times.
Don't even bother with anyone else's subs.
If gg wins the speedsub, get theirs. They are still trustworthy and more than adequate. Otherwise, download and archive Eclipse.
Bah - So I totally broke and watched the first episode (which was awesome, by the way) but now I shall rely on my willpower to wait till it's over, and marathon it at the end. Damn you IRC chats! XD

is it really a problem to keep in mind what happened the episode before?
because its not like they make a flashback @ the beginning for nothing
i couldn't wait another ~3 months :/

I give Sapphire two weeks....
I'm already going insane waiting for the next episodes. Come on, we could use another voice in the discussion.
Kray - For me I'd rather sit down and enjoy it all at once rather than just getting 20 mins once a week. (And agonizing the entire time)
Ryllharu - You're on! I just enjoy it more when I can marathon something suspenseful and epic, but if I break before the alloted time, I'll come back and discuss. XD

btw does anyone know when the whole opening song will come out?... alrdy downloaded the TVsize but its only 1:30 long, its kinda annoying because its over so fast :/
AND I WANT EPISODE 2, NOW... i want to see CC in Zeros arms <3
btw don't you guys think that Lelouch was kinda unimpressed by CC's kiss? i was like " WEEEEEE they kissed!!!" and lelouch: "get a way... WOMAN! i have to kill"
it made me sad somehow... even though CC has alrdy kissed him in the last episode of season 1, this was much too early
I marathoned last season two times in the past three months in anticipation (and when I got bored). You can always marathon the series later, when it is all said and done to get a better understanding of certain scenes. In a series like...Itazura na Kiss will probably be, it wouldn't matter if you went back, but series like School Days and Geass both deserve marathon rewatches. You get a better understanding of previous scenes because you now know what happens or where something leads, and you're looking out more for strange incidents.Originally Posted by Sapphire
Like the short discussion of who's legs those were wearing only one heel. Is it important? Now, I'm not so sure, but if it does turn out to be, I certainly would have caught it in a rewatch if I had not tried to make something of it here.
In short, there's no need to torture yourself waiting months. The most vocal members of these threads are going to marathon it before the final episode this season, after the final episode this season, or between the final episodes if they do another break like last season.
EDIT: After this post, I give Sapphire a week and a half.
Ryllharu - Haha. I almost never rewatch anime, and the only exception is Naruto, because after it's all done typically don't care about small details, but I might remarathon Geass 1. (Though I usually get VERY bored when rewatching stuff) Besides if I know what happens it spoils the surprise, and if I watch it all at once I remember what happened previously anyway.
I'll watch it if they end up doing a break. XD And I'm not torturing myself. Yet.

I marathonned Season 1 again in anticipation of R2, and it was great. Only series I've ever rewatched were HxH, FMP:Fumoffu and Geass.
I've rewatched the hack series...
Need Code Geass DVD... (and One Piece DVD).
And for the sake of conversation... no one else said anything about my question regarding the Black Knight shooting Lelouch and Rollo
Sure we did....well, someone did. It's buried along with all this other stuff.
My opinion (at first) on that was the guy was just an idiot, shooting at any Britannians. He may not even have known Lelouch was Zero. Kallen and C.C. clearly told some of the higher ups of what remains, but they'd be stupid to let that information leak out. Lelouch was still allowed to operate in Area 11 under the guise of bait for C.C., but that does not mean he now has to leave school. He would only have to leave if Britannian forces suddenly become hostile towards him. Only the Emperor's special forces, and now Suzaku and crew, know that he is Zero (and very much alive). The brainwashing that the school seems to have undergone (sans Nina, yay!) has returned him to Lelouch Lamperouge.
But if you start from the assumption that he did know it was Zero, then he was definitely shooting at Rollo to separate the two and allow the rest of the Black Knights to "rescue" Lelouch and deliver him to C.C.

I thought of another possibility
We saw some of the BK were pissed at Zero for abandoning them, so maybe there are some of the resistance with hard feelings toward Zero and wanting revenge? Or even just seeing as Lelouch was trying to protect Rollo and not knowing about the Geass and whatever brainwashing he’s been under just thinks they were betrayed
Thoughts? Ideas? Am I crazy?
The only show I have ever rewatched intentionally is Code Geass S1. By intentionally, I mean actually watching it again for the sake of simply enjoying it by myself, not watching it with friends in order to get them into it, or seeing it on TV by chance.
While marathoning is the best way to watch some shows, I believe that code geass does not belong to that classification. It simply has too much mystery and discussion potential to watch in one sitting, without even contemplating what will happen next. The main reason why CG is my favorite show is because they almost always take unexpected turns in both delivery and the direction of the story. While in most shows I can more or less guess what will happen next, geass has foiled my attempts numerous times.
@Eros - not crazy, but unlikely, since if CG does put something odd in its story, it usually has some bearing in the latter parts, unlike what you mentioned.
What about my question about Lelouch's geass? I'm not sure if people discussed it (I think not) but is it still permanent? If it is, the possibility of Lelouch going back to school is really slim. The chance of another Euphie situation occurring should be more than enough deterrent for Lelouch to avoid going to school.
Peace.
It's hard to say. It was off while he was brainwashed and it didn't turn on immediately after CC released his memories and gave him his powers back which tempts me to say it's back under control. However once he did use it they never showed it "switch off" as he spoke at the end of the episode. It could go either way.
Either way though i'd say his day's of lounging around school are done. Even if the Geass was under his control again his enemies know who he is and where he is now. Going back would be a horribly stupid mistake that i can't see him making.
Regardin his Geass, my guess earlier was that this 1 year break, with brainwhashing, was maybe a way for his body (or whatever) to recover and be able to control the Geass again.
I may be wrong, just a hypothesis.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I think that Lelouch's Geass will be under control again, simply because I think the school's purpose will be lost of Lelouch doesn't use it as his hideout anymore. Also, one of the most interesting points of the first series was that he could walk around without anyone knowing, and suddenly bring it upon them. One last supporting factor is that C.C. once said that this power consumes those who use it. If one can control it, they have the potential to be King. If Lelouch is to challenge the Emperorr, I think he'll have to have the same caliber.
i.e. a controlled Geass.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
It should be permanent, now that the seals has been released. Unless C2 had some special way of seeling/unsealing it again.
