I love Caitlyn and Vi together, but ngl Ekko and Jinx/Powder stole my heart. They have the kind of love story that transcends time. Childhood friends, tragic separation, destined to fall in love in every universe. I adore the way the writers had such little screen time to show us their relationship, but every second is used to reveal the deep, tender bond and the innocent, enchanting relationship those two have. When Sting sang βwhat could have beenβ in season one, he really was summing up the entire series, wasnβt he?

It has the potential to replace certain aspects of humanity that in my opinion should not be replaced, especially the arts. AI will make life easier, but that also means that it will be easier, faster and cheaper to create and to invent, both things so inherently human, that I fear we as a kind are going to loose part of our soul once the artists and other jobs are rationalized away.

2024-12-30 00:18:22 +0000 UTCNothing to do with the show, but rather with ur outro, talking about AI replacing people in certain areas. I think of it more of a (funny that it fits the show) evolution, back in the day we had jobs we dont have anymore because of tech, and Ai might just be the next step, right now its hard because people lose their jobs, but that happend again and again in the past, I think of it as a transitional period, just like it always was with tech, at some point it will balance itself out and the jobs that were lost will not even be concidered anymore but because of that more people will be in jobs of progress and be more about important jobs that actually drive us forward. I hope my comment made sence, you could explain this a lot more but I was just writting from the top of my head, it should be enough to understand what I am trying to say, I hope. :D

2024-12-27 21:36:57 +0000 UTCEven not knowing much about Yordles at the time, I thought it was ambiguous what happened with Heimerdinger and there was a good chance he's fine regardless of what happened. I love that shot of Powder looking at Ekko in her arms, seeing Ekko in the wild sphere -- but also that look on our Ekko's face... he's been so angry with Jinx for so long, but there was softness there, and longing, and maybe even forgiveness (as Silco suggested earlier being something worth pursuing) as he looks down at Powder. This experience definitely changed and tempered Ekko and brought him a bit of peace and grace, which can't help but play out later. That song... I don't know French but I've seen comments about how it's exquisite if you understand the native French, it loses a bit in the English translation -- it's more nuanced and plays off expectations for the words for friend vs enemy in how they literally sound in French. In any case, I love their dance and their relationship -- and seeing what Jinx might have been as Powder, even having lost Vi. Still, she's got all of her quirks -- and in the Vi drawer are a bunch of the hextec crystals, right? She hasn't really fiddled with them yet. Will she, ever, someday, esp after seeing what Ekko and H built? Or is this just saying they have been relegated from potentially dangerous power sources to just mementos of Vi ? Hard to say, maybe...? When I saw this the first time, I was trying to soak up Jayce's journey and there were things that hit me in the last two episodes where some specific things clicked, but maybe it was more obvious to others on this episode. (This show is so rich in detail and so much is happening, sometimes it takes a bit of time to process.) Yeah, it's Ghost of Christmas Future, except instead of throwing a wonderful feast, Ebenezer Scrooge goes around and beats everyone to death with a hammer, lol. I do think think Ken's comment about the impact of Vi's death -- well, there is definitely this interplay through the series where the sisters actually really love each other / are irrevocably tied together, yet can they ever coexist happily in the same reality? Where is the sweet spot of their future for both of them to be living their best lives?

2024-12-08 00:01:27 +0000 UTCWorshiping AI seems like a uncomfortable thought. We'd be worshiping death basically. A lifeless mimic. All the internet really is is empty space. Space where we communicate with the dead. Sadly, a creepy thought. On a happy note..this was a indeed a good episode. Crazy what one life can do to alter a timeline. Such a beautiful thought. βΊοΈ

2024-12-06 16:11:15 +0000 UTCWell I don't think it's too spoiler heavy to tell them how Yordles operate. I don't think we getting that context at this point

2024-12-06 05:02:13 +0000 UTCI don't think it is so much that Vi specifically had to die to achieve the alternate reality, but just a child period. I think that Marcus from the enforces seeing Vi dead and three other devastated kids really humanized Zaunites, especially since Marcus himself is a dad. Also I think that Vander and Silco forgiving each other helped because if they aren't at odds, then Silco has no reason to kidnap Vander, and then there is no need for a rescue mission that results in the deaths of Mylo and Clagger at Powder's hands. For Jayce, keep in mind that episode 7 takes place prior to his return in episode 6, you can tell that based on the progression of his hair growth and that he eventually got the leg brace and the rune infused in his arm that you see in episode 6. Him seeing this alternate timeline is the reason he went back and did what he did in episode 6. He has seen the end and has literally made a promise to that mysterious cloaked figure that he won't fail at preventing this outcome. And you can even hear that thought in his head in episode 6. Heimerdinger is a Yordle, I'm not too worried about him lol. I absolutely LOVE the song that plays during Ekko and Powder's dance! I totally recommend checking out the English lyric version, it's so perfect for them! The title translates to "My greatest/best enemy". Can't wait to see your reactions to the last 2 episodes!!! :D

2024-12-05 22:40:20 +0000 UTCYou guys didn't really mention it, but Heimerdinger poofed after he connected the cables. We are unsure what his fate is, all we know is that he sacrificed himself for Ekko
