First off, I don’t think we should have learned any of the real world’s counterparts names and lives. The message of the show that you need to learn to make the best of your situation and can find happiness in something you can’t change would have been a lot stronger if the real world remained more of a mystery.It would have been more impactful if the circus cast could have just just let it go like they had been starting to in episode 8 and focused on their own lives rather than get answers on the life they were no longer apart of.

I don’t mind Caine being back and I kind of liked his arch, though I feel were left with even more questions regarding the blue AI.

I’m not surprised Jax abstracted, but that doesn’t mean I like it. Mostly because he was my favorite character and it’s not as fun to have him as a giant monster.

My biggest issue though, is I don’t feel we’ve enough time with the characters in general for all the emotional conversations and interactions we had in episode 9 to have the proper impact. 8 episodes isn’t really a lot when you think about it and since the series is so short, each episode was meant to help build the overall plot and stuff and didn’t really let the characters just exist. The show would have benefited a lot from having more episodes where we saw more normal adventures and gotten to see the characters interact more in regular situations before you throw things in like Gaggle having a new mask. Having more time to get used to how she is normally would make her unusual behavior stand out all the more and make it more impactful.

Basically,it’s hard to really appreciate character growth arch’s if we don’t really have time to see the starting off point. Take the Ragatha and Pomni conversation where Pomni assures Ragatha that she considered her a friend. We never really saw any of that before this moment since the episodes we saw before more focused on things like Pomni bonding with Kinger and Jax. If we had had a few more episodes of Ragatha trying to help Pomni out in normal adventures early on, it would have made the conversation more real and would have made her jealousy over Jax and Pomni’s relationship in the later episodes more understandable.
