There's a theory going around that Caine isn't actually dead and episode 9 with end with him reveal that it was all an adventure to show everyone they're better off with him.
I don't want this to be true because that would be real fucking gay to ruin the impact of Caines death and it would make me believe Goose is taking waaaaay to much inspration from the Happy Place music video.
I think the theory is because Goose tweeted 4 days ago that episode 9 script made everyone cry and Caine's voice actor tweeted that he cried too, implying that Caine comes back but no idea if it's in flashback form or some form. If i had to guess, Caine is going to have an out of nowhere "father son" bonding with kinger before one sacrifices or something.
I believe goose and other VA's said the last episode made them cry too (i think kovach did more than once), lets hope they're not overhyping
and it sticks the land.
People are hung up on Jax pushing the button, but can we also talk about how no one cares that Kinger finally admitted he built the hell prison trapping everyone? Kinger is directly responsible for the lobomotization of everyone who has or will abstract, including his own wife, and the show and characters just don't care. I thought zooble would at least snipe at him about it a bit. Its like the show doesn't even realize the implications of what it set up.
He's stuck in there for much longer than them and went insane so it's hard to get mad now, but you're right, it's crazy that no one is more interested in this.
This show has the exact same problem late rwby had where characters just sit and wait for stuff to happen until in the second to last episode where it's too late and we need to get shit done. No one has any curiosity or desire to learn, they only do the bare minimum to move the plot or create drama when necessary. Out of nowhere the only intelligent person in the room has to explain just a bit of the plot (enough to answer 1 question and create 4), and the only thing they ask is "ok then, what do i do now?".
Even pomni's plan was stretching. Yeah she knows darkness makes kinger sane but she had no reason to be so confident he would know how to deal with Caine. She doesn't even ask if Kinger fine or why he's like this and have the topic swerve to caine, it was straight to asking about caine.
Even the bucket thing is funny to think about (lets ignore the plot convenience of this random bucket inside a diner) because Kinger had the bucket in episode 2 but
only when pomni wasn't around so she shouldn't instantly associate it.
