*SPOILERS* thoughts on the finale *do not read if you dont want spoilers*
First off let me say this is just my opinion. If you liked the finale literally no hard feelings and everyone can enjoy whatever they like :) there is def stuff I really loved and thought was very cool. But I just have a few thoughts and questions..
So, here we go....
- Pomni never really felt like anything. Throughout the series I kept waiting to feel like she was a sort of leader, the one to bring people together. i don't know why i never really bonded with her character? i have no explanation on this, just a feeling... She never really felt special in any way (maybe that was the point?) but I just couldn't get into it that she was this big force within the group?
- The hug and awkward walk away between pomni and Ragatha felt so weird and unjustified. I felt like none of the episodes at all felt like they'd really connected over anything, so the way too long hug and walk away felt so weird. For a split second during the hug I thought they might even kiss...which you know. love. But still felt really out of place. I would of loved for a few more episodes to really delve into Ragatha as she seems like such a interesting character and background with her mum but we never really get any proper focus on her... her background and story felt at times way more interesting that Jax's bits so I wish there was more. As well as some proper heart to heart before the finale between the two...
- Caine just.... is back? After the epic ending of the previous episode, and when Caine "dies" I really felt something. Like oh shit! what the hell are they gunna do???? How will they bring him back??? for him to just pop back in this void bit... Also Question - where was he??? Kinger deleted him so where did he go? in the trash bin??? is that the void??? how did a deleted ai get brought back so easily through free wifi??? am i the only one who didn't really get it???
- Speaking of Caine. the changing of heart sequence felt so rushed... The previous episode he was full of rage, anger, and kinda rightfully so, he was built and then thrown away. (hell he sang a whole song about it whilst torturing them) for him to so easily be swayed.
- The sequence of the flashback with the current events had me confused. When scratch popped back up i had to go back and re watch the scene as it didnt really make sense to me upon first viewing (maybe i am just dumb). speaking of scratch... really??? nothing from him??? no dialogue, no first moments of him in the circus? felt like that would of been really cool to see him and caine talk.
- I wish we had a better explanation or reveal of him getting rid of the blue ai...it felt so rushed and lacklustre.... sort of seemed like he really didn't have to try that hard to get rid of it. I kinda wish the blue ai turned into something so we could see it...
- Where is bubble?!... thats my own personal gripe because i just...love that little bubble guy. (Also i said this in another post and someone replied "bubble is clearly on maternity leave" and that made me laugh way harder than it should...)
- Jax's sudden abstraction i cant tell whether i love it or hate it. like...the instant cut to him being abstracted i cant tell whether.. it was cool or not...also the sequence of the doors was cool but like, how does abstraction work? why can they just not be brought back now by caine?
- Kinger really was just.... exposition guy.. sad.
- Gangle my beloved no notes. can do no wrong.
- The scene between caine and the moon... my heart <3
- I wish zooble and ragatha had more screen time...
- what the hell was the implication with jax and gangle in that weird door??? why did that make me feel so uncomfortable?
- Jax's supposed reveal that he is not cis i did like a lot, the scenes with ribbit in the room were some of my favourite. and actually i saw someone compile a list of ways it was sort of set up from the start re: jax - v cool.
- The ending. So it really was just... "maybe the digital circus was the friends we made along the way." type ending... That's genuinely the thought I had when it finished. A happy ending. Everyone smiling, Caine included, one big lovely family... When this show started I really thought it was building towards something darker, esp with what is sort of based off of. And after Caine's rage and the circus collapsing I was bracing myself for something harder — a satisfying but not perfectly tied-up conclusion. But nope. We high fived and said digital circus together! Even Jax's abstraction didn't feel as weighty as it should have. I just wish there had been more episodes honestly. More time to flesh out the characters, more time to build on the mystery.
Anyway, not sure if anyone will care about this but id love to know, what are your thoughts? did you like it?
final thought..... where the hell is bubble????
