Absolutely wonderful first episode to get back on the geass train with. The first season had me captivated, and this one shows no signs of letting me down. After all of the permutations I could ponder of how they could have possibly taken the remainder of the story and present it after such a cliffhanger without dissapointing the theatric nature of the show and pacing it's fans love, I never would have guessed a time lapse. NEVER. Ladies and gentelemen; I think we're in for a 'wild ride'.
