Garten confuses me because he used to praise Geass regularly and now there's hardly an episode where he doesn't bitch. I don't even know why he keeps up with it anymore since he's always disappointed. I appreciate his blogging about it though since I use him and "Random Curiosity" to tell what the hell's going on until subs come out.
I try to limit the Light comparison to only the discussions about Lelouch turning "evil" because I find I end up unintentionally bashing Light. As much as I love Light, I have to say that there's not much more to him *for me* than the evil gimmick and the fact that he's hot. There used to be L, but we all know where that went. So when I hear people talk about Lelouch going more evil, my mind jumps to "Light-lite? DO NOT WANT!" That's why when I talk about Lelouch making the more questionable decisions, I prefer to use "dark" instead of "evil." Because "evil" is much harder to redeem. I like Lelouch teetering on that line. That's what makes him so much fun for me.
