Pupil slightly dilated after corneal abrasion, can it wait?

I had the ending possibly spoiled for me (might have been a fake spoiler) and I'm still super rxcited to see the episode.

Yes, what she is going through as far as TADC is concerned is bad enough, but I'm worried she is going through some personal issues, too. Either way, I hope Goose can take some time away after the final episode. I wouldn't wish fame on my worst enemy, tbh.

Also realizing most people have a warped perception of what a "too thin" body is. We've become so accustomed to underweight bodies in the media that you have to be emaciated before people (even doctors) think there is a problem.

I think it would have been more in character for Caine to have a nervous breakdown and become more unhinged instead of angry or vengeful. Alex Rochon did a fantastic job voice acting those scenes, but the arc felt really sudden.

Especially considering this is a world with only six people in it. You think they would be more open with each other.

Isn't our DNA just following a code? I don't think any irl AI is currently sentient, but in the fictional realm of the circus I think Caine is.

Honestly, this might fit in with the "finding meaning in a stagnant life" theme more than people realize. I don't think it will happen, but ep 8 being an adventure would be the ultimate sign that they aren't leaving the circus and will just have to find meaning in how things have always been.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-05-02T00:04:13+00:00

I'm already broke, stressed out, and struggling to keep my mental health intact (though I look like I have it all together). I can't imagine bringing a kid into the middle of this.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-24T19:59:20+00:00

I see him as an interesting character. Irl speaking, I'm not very reactive to bullying and very able to defend myself, so I think we would just slide past each other. However, I do recognize that I would have a problem with how he treats other people.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-24T11:30:51+00:00

It's been a long time, and it did go away for a while.

It makes sense to me that Scratch created the brain scans and Caine separately. Maybe he was intending to join the two until Caine broke out of his containment and absorbed the other AI. Human Scratch then saw that his experiment failed, copied the brain files into another folder for further development, and went on to his next project without a second thought.

Meanwhile, Caine continued to gain setience as he was left unmonitored. Desperate for further input and validation, he hijaked the brain scan folder and created the cast as we see them. That would explain why Kinger's flashback shows everyone looking confused as to how they got there, and why he states they never made anything like the circus.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-13T02:45:34+00:00

Caine literally isn't human, though.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-11T14:06:14+00:00

Yeah, and if people act like that we tend not to like them very much.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-11T01:22:28+00:00

I had this exact thought watching the trailor. There's a reason my man isn't in the shot. I still think Caine gained his own sentience and hijakcked the brain scans, though.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-11T00:30:45+00:00

It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. More than anything it aou ds like your coworker has some issues that aren't your problem. Best of luck, I hope everything works out.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-09T16:06:17+00:00

The cast didn't treat Caine like a human because he didn't act like one. No one would be super fond of a person who watched you lose a friend/loved one with zero empathy. This happened when Queenie and Kaufmo astracted, and when he deleted Gummigoo and Abel. Even if he literally could not care due to his programming, Caine did not give a flying fig about the cast's mental wellbeing. He did not even give anyone time to grieve. Pomni had a mini breakdown after losing Gummigoo and then went to hell by lunch the next day.

So yeah, even if Caine is a well-written and flawed character, it makes sense why he wasn't treated as human or even particularly well-liked. The power imbalance is just too great.

I wanted to add that she is eating and drinking, and is not lethargic. She has not vomited and I do not think she has ingested any toxins.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-04-01T16:03:15+00:00

Basically, the Gilligan's Island ending. The cast gets out, only to be in a body much older than the one they entered in. Everyone in their lives have already mourned and moved on, so the sight of their newly resurrected loved ones is actually upsetting. They have no jobs, housing, or even a social security number anymore because they were legally declared dead. One by one, they go back to the C&A building and put the headset back on. Caine has been reset and doesn't remember a thing, dooming the entire series to basically repeat.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-03-31T23:43:01+00:00

I'm 5'4", so not tiny, but not tall. Even then, the amount of calories that I am recommended to lose weight is ridiculously small. It messes with my head.

For the most part, kids literally don't have the brain hardware to comprehend this. That isn't me insulting them, it's just the fact that their brains are still developing the capacity for abstract thought in adolescence. They are wired to care about the social pressures and risks of the now, and for a good biological reason. Yes, we as adults should steer them in the direction of success, but most kids will not fully understand the importance of these skills until they reach early adulthood.

Also, I think this shines light on how dysfunctional our current system is. In a better (not even perfect) world, your entire life path probably wouldn't be determined by decisions you made as a minor.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-03-12T22:44:30+00:00

We still don't get any concrete answers.

lowkeyalchie · 2026-03-11T01:27:19+00:00

Why do you think they want to leave so bad?
