I truly like your site skin, can you tell me what template is that? Is this customized design or is that paid one? Anyway I don’t have the funds to get paid design nor have the ability to custmozied design myself. I’m sorry for this newbie question, thanks.

Anyway: I get that people aren't too happy with Ougi, but while everyone else (Tohdoh, Chiba, Diethard etc.) was ready to just crucify Zero and be done with it, Ougi seems to have stepped up to do some negotiations. Yeah, Ougi's a prick for jumping on Viletta's bandwagon, but at least he got something out of it as opposed to the other fools who would hand over Zero, then watch Britannia turn away and fire a Freya shot at the Ikaruga. The Ikaruga is just flying over empty sea, as soon as the special envoy craft retreated, they could just blast it with a Freya/Mordred's Stark Hadron cannon and destroy a good chunk of the Black Knight's leadership. Which leads me neatly to my next point, Cornelia. Episode previews tell us she might be buggering off back to Britannia, but I smell a minor issue here. While I'm sure that the World of Geass works under different laws, I'm fairly certain that you can't just waltz in with your special, unarmed envoy craft and then take back a PoW or a political prisoner. It seems fairly silly that the Black Knights would just let her go anyway. The Black Knights need Cornelia on board, or at least in custody, to protect their own interests. See my abover point concerning Freya. Lelouch is still a big softy at heart, saving Kallen, reassuring Rolo before he died, and even digging Rolo a grave with his pitiful physical strength! Nice guy. He's also managed to setup Kallen to defend C.C. should anyone try to get rid of her from inside the organisation. Still, I was just sat wondering where the hell he's going to go from here. I'm assuming the Shinkirou still needs energy fillers (though I don't remember seeing them...did I miss the unveiling of Infinite Energy technology?), so he needs to rearm and refit. The status screen showed a bunch of parts going 'Red', so we can assume it's pretty banged up. Suzaku's laugh was awesome. Needs to wait til he grabs the Lancelot Albion so he can join up with the breakaway Kallen in her Guren SEITEN and Lelouch in the Shinkirou to form the Three Knightmares Alliance. And finally, episode preview comments/scenes for people not bothered by pausing it repeatedly: -Cornelia leaving for the special Envoy craft(Zero would never let this happen if he were here!). -Rivalz not getting an answer on his phone, probably calling Lelouch again and getting ignored. -Schneizel...talking, yeah, don't care. -Status report readout on Kaminejima Island. Could be from either the Emperor's flagship or Schneizel's. Probably Schneizel as we just saw him talking. Could mean Schneizel is making his move for the throne, especially with the episode title "Dethroned Emperor." -Kaguya crying :( She misses her hubby. -Ragnarok nodes converging on the Kaminejima Island facility. -The two Black Knights guys from the original terrorist group (I really need to learn their names) look unhappy about something, probably despairing because their great leader is actually a Britannian Prince. -Jeremiah and Ougi chatting over vidphone. Jeremiah looks kinda...stoic. Reckon anyone told him that they decided to out Lelouch yet? -Diethard has scratches and marks on his face, someone punched him, I reckon. Hopefully Kallen. -Gino being threatened by two lances. Probably Britannian tbh. Looks like he's finally decided to go to the love of his life. -And finally, a nice shot of Cecil smiling. It's probably gonna get wiped off her face when Suzaku laughs again, or tells her her cooking sucks, or is just a douche to her. Sigh at accidentally clicking back and losing all of my writings -_-.

I'm slightly sympathizing with Nina and I doubt she's gonna die, more like she's gonan be really fucked up (or completely normal) by the end of the series. Also, I have a vague thought of something...C.C.'s future role. Her significance has SEVERELY gone down since she lost her memories, she only served as a breif comic relief and some sentimental moments. The scene with Kallen seeing C.C. and learnign of her mental state got me thinking...most of the Black Knights knew/thought that C.C. was Zero's top advisor and possibly knew his identity. That being said, the OotBK might pin some blame on C.C., this (I think) is why that scene is important. It's supposed to serve as cover for a future plothole, I'm not sure if it's THAT important but it came into my head and it interested me. The plothole, anyways, is what the OotBK are going to do to C.C., chances are they might put some blame on her and so Kallen is gonna step in to defend her, wouldn't it seem odd that Kallen would defend her if she didn't know her memories were gone? In either case, it probably wouldn't matter.

That's one of those tiny things that's so weird, it gets put on YouTube for sheer enjoyment. I bet Lulu's voice was teaching Suzaku before this ep came out, Suzaku has never acted that creepy before, ever. I bet Suzaku will come to the dark side (Lulu, of course that's odd seeing as how really, he's the good one but w/e). Lulu might not have cookies, or willing men and women to fight, or any equipment, or an army, or any support whatsoever, but he'll win somehow. Since the Black Knights betrayed Zero, what is the status of him and the Chinese? I have a feeling Zero will now rely on Xing-Ke for future aid.

If he didn't drop his cellphone, then I wouldn't have really pitied him. Thank you cellphone! Anyways, wtf is wrong with Suzaku...? It’s too bad Tamaki didn’t do anything special for Zero :(
