Yeah but it's like in one of those flicks in which they keep getting stuff out of their ass: you can't help but stare in wonder at the expertise, mixed with mild horror...

Hey it could be justified that Lelouch damaged it with the sonic waves trap he set for him.

When it was revealed that Nunnally's blindness was Geass-induced, I was certain that Lelouch would put Jeremiah's power to use there. Very disappointed that she ended up doing it on her own just by wanting it bad enough.

Personally, I liked that bit in canon. It showed Nunnally's real strength of character. Though in all honesty, the only reason the Geass Canceller existed was to set up the whole thing with Shirley.

It's not like they got much of a chance to use it. As of now, the Live Geass is a useful tool to Zero. He will keep it untilhe deems it unnecessary, and then he'll have it Cancelled. That way we avoid the "if he grows old or sick and goes crazy for immortality" stuff.

Regarding the Geass canceler: I think Jeremiah used it against Rolo, too.

Yeah, he did.

The Geass Canceler wasn't quite as plot relevant as it could have been, but I'm okay with that (or rather, it's fairly low on the list of things I wish had been developed more in R2).

I'm not sure if it's so much Good Is Dumb as it is the fact that once he's on Lelouch's side, Lelouch doesn't want him cancelling the orders he gives out. (And not needing to fight Rolo any more)

And according to that post-R2 picture drama, he does cancel the memory alterations that made people at Ashford forget Nunnally.

Isn't it frustrating to be an Ashford graduate, what with all the stuff their comrades did. "Yeah, my best friend has ruled the world for a while, and his sister is the President. Yeah, that eleven kid became a famed knight. And that nerdy girl bult a giant nuke. As for me, ha!, I present the weather forecasts..."

Or, better yet: "My best friend is dead, his sister is Empress, two of the people I knew are ace Knightmare Frame pilots, one of the girls I knew is dead, and another one works for Britannian scientists. But hey, at least the girl I like is still by my side!"

Given Milly's skill at mobilizing people, as in the hunt for the cat and Lelouch's lips, I'm surprised Lelouch never tried recruiting her to be the Black Knights' motivational speaker.

Well, I don't think Milly was actually a huge supporter of the Black Knights.

^^ Do you think he'd like to involve more innocents in his insane shit?

Yes. Yes I would.

Although Milly as a spokeswoman for the Black Knights would be hilarious, in my mind.

an heroic gesture would do the world good

You didn't get the guy. He tried hard to keep shit away from his loved ones.

Such as leading his army against the city where all his loved ones lived? Or planning to mind control one of his loved ones into shooting him, making her the enemy of the revolution? Or constantly sending one of his love interests onto the front lines of battle (granted, she was The Ace, but still)?

Yes, Lelouch does try to protect the people close to him, but all friends, girlfriends, and other blood relations always took a backseat to Nunally, and Nunally eventually took a backseat to destroying/recreating the world.

P.S. Seeing as how Milly was already in the loop about Lelouch and Nunally being exiled royalty (at least in the first season) and her family were the ones sheltering them, it wasn't like she was entirely uninvolved.

Lelouch has this lovely double standard - a sympathetic, understandable double standard, but a double standard nonetheless - where he is entirely willing to use (and if necessary, sacrifice) people he doesn't care about, but refuses to do so for those he does. Even if it would probably help his cause - and this is where the majority of his failures come into place, either directly or indirectly.

And yeah, his priorities were almost always 1. Nunnally, 2. Suzaku, 3. Love interests and other people of personal importance. The rebellion tended to jump around in terms of importance depending on the point in the series.

Moral Myopia and Protagonist-Centered Morality are considered absolutely legitimate and downright laudable virtues in Japan. If your close friend run someone over and escaped and you were there with him, your duty is to cover up for him, not denounce him.

That's kind of messed up.

It might be just personal preference, but I tend to prefer to think of friendship as being something where your friends might have your back, but they are also willing to call you out when you do something wrong. And smack you down, if necessary. (This may be why C.C. is my favourite female Geass character. She's entirely willing to call Lelouch on his shit)
