To be honest I actually thought it was pretty smart writing and story telling. He claims that Euphemia was his first love, and it was his plan to make her "kill" Zero and then have his miraculously come back to life. Instead as he explains his power to her, it activates out of his control and forces her to do something totally repulsive to her against her will.

This makes him feel like shit (rightfully so) and he takes responsibility for killing her himself to atone for his sins. It is at this time that the true weight of his power dawns on him and he starts taking things a bit more seriously.

What is shitty story telling is that he gets some magic contact lens that hides his Geass and all he needs to do is wipe his hands across his face to take it off/put it on. Totally lame.
