random thoughts--where's breakfast?

Code Geass R2 21! So this is what X could have been if Kamui had a backbone (and a huge ego), and if the story actually contained action. Nunnally turned out to be Kotori and Charles was Fuuma..sorta. Side note: if Syaoran ever failed to save his princess, he'd turn into Suzaku. That's enough of the obvious-as-hell CLAMP parallels...though Yasha-ou being Xingke is so lovely even if they have the same tree-stump personalities. Loved the episode with its unexpected twist. Thought the parallels between Charles and Lelouch's motivations were interesting. So Lelouch triumphs, but C.C.'s not-so-happy face makes me think Lelouch might get ousted in the end. I'm wondering what Schneizel wants; outside of the fact that he'd rather be the one in control.
