That was faster than expected

Hey there peeps! Ok, I know this is gonna be a little late, seeing that it's almost been a week since the last episode of R2 was released, but I felt the need to post this-was is just me or did you guys think that they killed Shirley off a little too soon?
I mean, I figured that she was going to go, especially since she regained her memories, but I honestly expected her to live longer than one episode. There were three ways Sunrise could have gone with this: a) have her join the Black Rebellion; b)have her spill the beans to Suzazku and help Britania or c)kill her. Frankly, the last one seems to be the most logical-I just did not expect it to happen so soon. Quite disappointing, actually -_-''''.
Oh! Whilst we are on the topic of the latest episode, what do you guys think of the new opening/ending sequences? Personally, it took me a bit to get used to the new opening, but I must say it is quite addicting. Not as good as O2 (I don't think "I CONTINUE TO FIGHT!" can be beaten), but good nonetheless. As for the ending, I am quite fond of Ali Project, so I really don't have any complaints for that. What do you guys think? For those who for some reason have yet to see the new op/end, I've uploaded a video for you guys (aren't I a saint?)
Well, that's all for now. 'Till next time!
