I wasn't asking for this but there are definitely a number of valid and even interesting ways to continue the story. The peace wasn't meant to be definitive and new reasons for conflict aren't hard to find. If those ways happen to be over-the-top and entertaining enough, which is what matters to much of the audience, then that's good enough for a start. That said, it's too soon to get too excited. We probably won't see the sequel until at least 2018.
Sounds like you were watching it for the wrong reasons lol. Right from season 1 the show was terribly written. Pretty much all the fun was in the hilariously contrived ways in which they got to their plot points.
I'd argue this thread is living proof that there is ultimately no "wrong" way to watch Code Geass, at least if you're still enjoying it. Which, one way or another, covers most of the people posting here. Even Sunrise isn't going to say no free publicity, whether you happen to think the series is good, bad or just somewhere in between.
For instance, I think the writing threw caution and realism to the wind but was still good at a couple of key things, which included playing up the craziness and silliness of the more over-the-top developments (the staff wasn't taking everything too seriously to begin with) at the expense of proper form, yet also did some interesting stuff with the characters (mainly Lelouch) that's better than what the overly cynical or nihilistic views are willing to consider. Thus why the ending actually worked out in a few legit ways and ties back to earlier themes.
So I still think the best way to watch Code Geass is to stay near the middle of the spectrum, relax and let the extremes fight it out.
