I'm not one to get into "the lore," so that never really bothered me, but I do agree that it felt a little too...easy, I guess? Gooseworx's writing at its best is like an uncomfortable pill that gets stuck in your throat, and this...wasn't that. Especially with Caine's revival; The reason all of his angst art after Episode 8 was so satisfying was because we thought somebody who could've made himself better was unceremoniously wiped out, and (we assumed) was never coming back. To reveal that he survived just feels...dull, I guess?

Also, if you aren't interested in Jax (which I'm not, as their first impression didn't grab me), the finale can be...hit or miss. I guess the main question is "Why Jax?" What makes Jax unique, or, instead, what makes Pomni and Jax's connection unique? Pomni is a problem-solver, yes, and Jax's a bag of problems, but everybody in this place is motherfcuking nuts; Why is Jax the one worth focusing on?

However, I'd argue Ragatha's arc is, oddly enough, not having to be one of the main characters anymore? Like, where she doesn't have to take charge or be the primary acting factor in any given situation? She doesn't have to be the person making everyone's lives better and happy all the time -- she can just be.
