The Knight of One has a power to see into the future and thus predict all of Suzakus moves. Yet suddenly Suzaku defeats him. It was NEVER explained how. Just like half of the stuff in the show.
I thought Suzaku went berserk on him overwhelming him with shear force. But yeah, I agree with all your other points.

You mean Leuloch.
First of all, he told Schnizel to serve him. With him dead, either the geass will stop or it will cease to work.
Also, no amount of self-perservation desire will give you superpowers. The Knight of One has a power to see into the future and thus predict all of Suzakus moves. Yet suddenly Suzaku defeats him. It was NEVER explained how. Just like half of the stuff in the show.
Wtf Lotion. It is.
Basically Suzaku couldn't really beat him, so what did he do? Just charge in. There's nothing to 'predict' it's a contest on who'll be fastest. Suzaku got lucky and killed him. It was more a gamble than anything else, but he won, because Galahad's Geass wasn't useful against something that was going to full on charge him.
And? So what if he was hated? So was Hitler. Yet his death didn't see the world united in peace.
I've mentioned this. Code Geass is a world of fiction where certain things apply where ours don't. Besides, Hitler never won, and Lelouch did. He had the world on its ass and used a 'hero' to save it then unite it together afterwards.
The order of the scenes is irrelevant. The timing is.
You have Schnizel leaving the bridge as soon as Leluloch breaks in. Unless Leuloch moves at the speed of light, him beating Schnizel to the escape craft is...highly unlikely. Schnizel took the elivator on a gigantic fortress (a mile tall at least). Leluch was on a foot.
Have you ever seen a movie where scenes like this are manipulated in order to increase the tension in the moment? There are relevant questions like how long did it take Schnizel to walk to the lift? Where did Lelouch land in? Did that give him an advantage on time?
But I already agreed that this stems from poor-writing. It's not a plot hole since you CAN make sense of the situation, but it's not totally out of place where it possibly cannot fit inside the narrative.
Oh, and many things are dumb. Including me. I'm dumb. Thing is, I don't mind admitting to it 
@Bro
FINAL ATTACK! KAWAII-ENTICE-SUPER-SMACK-INCESTIOOOOOUUUUS!
Should I put No Terror to my list?!
P.S
Lolis, traps, lesbians all of them. I'm the f*cking Iron Bull, there is no pleasure left untapped.
Expect for real life dudes. I would be bisexual if 80% of men weren't complete hairy bastards (including me, christ my bum's a jungle.) That's why I prefer anime dudes.
Yep, that's a dude.

Fate/Zero really do look absolutely gorgeous! 3 episodes in and i've seen some rather amazing sights and some very interesting moments. A certain Bluebeard moment was amusingly scary. So far everything has been quite good but i'm itching for some real action which seems to be granted very shortly. It's been such a long time but now the floor is your Fate/Zero, lets see your moves!

Except that's incorrect.
Seeign the future also means knowing where and when someoen will charge. Honestly Sim, did oyu turn your brain off.
How can you say knowing your move in advance isn't usefull because you're charing in?

It's fiction ,therefore frak reason?
Sorry, I don't accept that.
Technial innovations, yes. Magic, yes.
But compeltely differnet psychology, no. Why? Because the audience is human.

but hey, we got Suzaku doding machingun fire due to his super-speed as a jock, so all sanity has left hte building already.

I don't insult you :'-(
And no you can't. I've boxed for years, and I knew WHAT was coming but couldn't possibly evade it due to the speed/skill of my opponent. It's totally possible Lotion and I'm proof of that.
When you're charging in against someone who can predict your moves, what can he predict? It's a most basic form of assault, you have no advantage because your advantage is made ineffective. Sure you know what's coming, but are you fast enough to stop it?

Accursed Kings.
A Song of Ice and Fire.
Very similar books but people think differently anyways.
If you want to use human psychology then let's look at it at a different angle.
Zero is a messiah, and for a short period of time (let's say a decade) people all around the world saw him as the saviour. It's not a nation, it's not a faction, it's a single person who liberated the Earth from a Tyranny it's never seen before.
No one said "and they lived happily ever after" they said that international policy was focused more on x than on y. Not for how long, but for the present, it was. Sure, it's made to look all 'nice and happy' but that's cos SOMETHING SAD just happened.
If there were a sequel I'm sure they'd go into the fallout of it all. They'd have anti-zero groups etc etc...
If you're wondering why prisoners of war were never set, well, it's probably because of Suzaku's idealism that gave influence to those decisions. I'm sure from the moment he's at the peak of his power, Zero can pretty much make mountains move and gods sh*t.
At the very bottom of the 3KM tall floating tower.
Blondie was gong down in the elevator, meaning Lelouch was closer anyway. No way would he attempt to run there if he thought it was at the very top.
Again.
Poor writing.
I agree.

Yeah, but Fate/Zero is apparently very different in tone from what Isi's said.
And yeah bro, Bluebeard is sick as hell.

Its a prequel series. Easy to watch without knowing Fate/Stay Night.

No. It's a 24ep anime. The prequel (I think) to Stay/Night. It's really dark and drop-dead gorgeous visually. Written by the one and only f*ck-you-feelings Gen. So yeah, I'd go for that one.
It has one of the most epic first episodes of all time. The part where Kerei and the Church are intriguing on how they'll manipulate things to their favour gave me such a hard on (not really, but I do love intrigue.)

So I should watch Fate/Zero then instead of Fate Stay Night. I thought they were the same thing with one just being a movie.

I think Fate/Zero is pretty good as a stand alone series, and there is no need to watch Fate/Stay Night unless you want to. If you like it, you might consider looking into the VN.
Give it a shot, see if you like it.

Just watch Fate/Zero on its own really.
I'm waiting for the remake of Stay Night as Isi recommended to carry on with the franchise.

Cool. Bookmarked. I'll need to read it some time... oh it's only on kindle? :-(
And yeah, if Cersei were my sister I totally would.
No Turin and Nienor stuff. Seriously, out of topic here, you want some DARK Tolkein? Go read The Children of Hurin. Shakespeare's tragedies haven't got sh*t on that piece of sadism.
Nope. You can buy a physical copy for 10 bucks more. It's a nicely done book. I think McNeil's a good writer.
And the whole Turin/Nienor stuff made me wonder how awesome a live-action Silmarillion TV series split up into different segments would be.

Live action Silmarillion?
I don't knooow.... I mean, the action would be fantastic, but everything else?
Maybe it'd be an episodic trilogy? (If that would work, anyway.)
I know Beren and Luthien, The Children of Hurin and The entire Noldor arc within Aman would make great films, but there is soooooo much going on, I don't really know how they'd do it.
The good thing about the Silmarillion is that it allows for a lot of creative freedom given the way it's written. Tolkein states that the Noldor travelled from x to y using b and z but never does he go into the specifics since he's really writing a history, not a story.
So the details can be filled really well if there are good writers...
But that's for another thread. And I'll make sure to look out for that book when I'm in the UK next week.
P.S Lotion
I finished that Popularity Poll arc. Not only was it hilarious, I just LOVED the end. I saw it coming like 15 seconds before it happened, but bloody hell was it still brilliant.

Thought for a second there you guys were talking about an anime taking place in Middle Earth -- Would be neat though.
