It was alright. Not bad, not great. But your post reads as unusually condescending in a way that prevents open discussion, so I’ll have to downvote

I really disliked it because Jax is insufferable and the episode being fully focused on him only made him more so. The reduced pomni to coddling an abuser while giving him a lackluster backstory. Everybody else got sidelined and the lore just got practically ignored. Huge disappointment to me.

i enjoyed it at a 9/10 level. I can see how you’re thinking on the lack of brevity but i disagree. With the depth of history and emotion it’s trying to convey it could easily have had even more time.

Tap for spoiler I think of it as 7/10. The pacing of the episode was alright and did not make me impatient to get to the end; in fact, I’d argue it should’ve been longer to elaborate on Caine’s perspective in the second half of the story. I believe the ending could’ve been better but it’s still a good compromise the way it finished on a positive note. My biggest concern is how the revival of Caine made the impact of his death in the last episode meaningless.

It was fine. I cried a bit. I’m used to finales being a full letdown, so this was actually a pleasant surprise. spoiler I wish that there had been more elaboration on the blue AI, its nature, and the impact their merger had on Caine. I called the “they’re ‘just’ scans and can’t leave” realization from the first episode, but also harbored the incorrect theory that Pomni was somehow a manifestation of the blue AI, so you win some, lose some.
