This week's episode slows the action down a bit, allowing us to take a longer breath, while still delivering lots of thrills and answers.So first... Rolo, he's definitely not the poster boy for mental health. He goes from cute nii-chan to psycho killer in a split second. He seems to have developed brotherly feelings for Lulu, but he still wants to kill him badly.We finally learn how his Geass works and fortunately it's neither stopping time nor teleportation. Rolo simply freezes people around him for short periods of time. Sunrise really did nice job in that scene, we see people freezing while the water in the background still flows. "Show, not tell" is a classic rule in cinematography and it's great to see Sunrise following itWe also were blessed with some wonderful C.C and Karen scenes. Cat fight!It looks like Kallen has returned to being Zero fangirl and C.C being the witch she is uses it to poke some great fun at herThen we got some funny fanservice. Seeing Kallen blush was hilarious and the Chinese ambasador's "Zero is... woman?!" reaction was truly priceless Shirley also got some great screen time. She's simply adorable. It's good to see the fears of her being forgotten were unfounded. Being with her made Lulu remember how heavy the consequences of his actions can be. After all he did to her almost exactly the same thing as Emperor did to him. I'm quite surprised how much of human side of Lulu we're seeing in R2 so far.Hopefuly this will make some people realize that despite being ruthless calculating bastard Lulu isn't Light JuniorBy the end of episode the action speeds up, the Chinese make their move against Black Knights inside the embassy, the imprisoned Black Knights are about to be executed outside and the confrontation between Lulu and Rolo isn't going well for our hero.This episode proves just how damn good Geass is. We've known how this episode ends for many days (the famous 6 minutes leak) and yet the episode still managed to surprise and entertain me.Now I start another painful week long wait for next episoderating: 8.8/10miss epic failureedit suzaku.cfg.... #Godmode ON!
