not related to the plot at all but 1 cool thing about this episode (and 3 episode arc 7-9) is that the track that plays during the Vi + Jayce fight "Snakes" is a piece with guest artist Miyavi. Miyavi is a famous guitarist who actually voices Finn (the really cool chem baron with all the tattoos) and his appearance is somewhat based off Miyavi himself

Remember the line from the shimmer-doc about being ready to lose Jinx?
I don't think he was talking about her dying, but losing her if she survives.
Now, Silco responded that she has to live, which could be him misunderstanding the question, OR it could be him confirming that he wants her to live even if she leaves him, or maybe turns against him?

I can't really tell for sure but I think what happened with the boy Jayce shot was that Jayce went on a sort of mindless rampage and you can see it with the way he was just haphazardly shooting just about everything and everyone. I think what happened was that his brain registered the boy as an enemy and he shot without thinking and it was only after he took a second to process what had happened that he realized who he'd just shot.

In lore, Zaun was the original name of the settlement in the area before piltover began to grow on the other side of the river with the construction of the canal. The exact timeline of the show isn't entirely certain, but it is certainly possible Silco is old enough to have heard stories of the original Zaun as a child from his elders before it became as industrialized as it is, which would explain his desire for the area to reclaim its independence from the wealthy merchant class that originally created Piltover and took over Zaun.

The guys in the suits were not kids. The kid was collateral damage.

im so tired of ppl making the joke about Jyace and the weapons. He started making them hammer earlier in the season when they showed him messing around at the forge. The two things created for mining were the gauntlets and laser. Also i dnt blame Jayce, he was jsut farming minions and fuck that little kid.

Jayce while designing the atlas Gauntlets: "You know what the miners need? A shield and punch enhancer."
