                                                                                1. …in reply to @__MoBlack

We're going to finish the episode before finishing this thought, actually. Because Lelouch isn't necessarily 100% a good protagonist either so how the show criticizes him will be important

                                I honestly did not think R2 would be this terrible I am surprised. And yet, there are little moments where the show is right about stuff in ways that season one was not. It's a weird situation I'm in. That's it for now
