Their time slot changed (moved to an earlier, less adult-focused time), so they had to scrap the entire story they had planned for season two and start anew. Also, and this is only speculation on my part, mind, it seemed as though R2 was written in expectation of another season, but that obviously didn't happen, so Sunrise really had to scramble to complete the story.
Yep. The events of ep21 are where R2 logically should end (lol @ the idea of Code Geass abiding by logic). But, well, with all the production problems that series had, it never had a chance of ending on a logical note. So it just completely derails in the final four episodes.

If you're in the mood for an epic trainwreck, then definitely finish up R2. I swear they cram an entire season's worth of story into the final four episodes.
Gundam 00 is a good series. My opinion of it has tempered just a bit as I've rewatched it, but it's still good. The character I crush on appears in the middle of the first season, although Sumeragi is pretty cool, haha.

EDIT: Here are a couple of good, spoiler-free posts detailing the debacle.

....Really? That show is already really fast-paced for me. :/
