- I was also surprised by Inoue still being alive.
- Everything about the cold open vs. where the episode later flashes back (Nunnally, Suzaku, Lelouch himself) is at odds with what should be happening with those characters. I can't tell you what the intent was, since this episode script ends on a deliberate cliffhanger -- I imagine that the transition would have made sense later, much like how the transition from Stage 25 to Turn 1 made no sense until Turn 2's extended flashback.
But I don't otherwise disagree. I actually like R2.
