TADC ep 8, my breakdown, theories, and opinions (LONG POST)
So I just watched the new TADC episode and I wanna say some things I realized, observed, and thought about it.
First of all, it was AMAZING, the writing, the cinematography, the music. It was all fantastic, now the writing and storytelling I'd say are top 2 in the topics I just mentioned.
At the start of the episode it showed a simple red dot, which I realized was an AI, obtaining info from the web or just images and whatever, eventually it got trapped for going kinda crazy (which I think means that whoever made the RED AI deemed it to be a failure and trapped it.) Then the developers made a second AI, a blue dot (BLUE AI). which was also shown taking in info, eventually the RED AI breaks out of containment and merges with the BLUE AI.
What I think this is showing is that Caine is the RED AI or "the original" as he calls himself when bubble is making fun of him. Now, when bubble is making fun of Caine bubble says "You really were the lesser of the two", talking about the two AI's, Caine is the the RED AI, and at the beginning of the episode when when it shows the RED AI merging with the BLUE AI, its showing that Caine basically took over and "ate the BLUE AI. the RED AI (Caine) is dominant over Blue ("Blue" is the name I'm going to be referring to the BLUE AI from now on) since Caine is the personality most shown and refers to himself as "the original" which is the RED AI.
There is a lot of isolation shots where a character is shown isolated from other characters. Jax is mainly shown isolated in these shots (Images below)
In this episode (and maybe others I don't remember...) Jax flees from the group. Now I just wanted to bring this up since, frankly, I don't have anything to say about this because I simply just don't know what to say.
Blue and red are shown a lot in this episode, one place where its shown is this muffin.
Now you may have noticed that this muffin has blue and red sprinkles. Personally I think that this muffin represents Caine, because of the blue(BLUE AI) and red (RED AI) sprinkles showing how the two AI's are merged. This muffin is shown in MANY shots within this scene, so I really think the creators wanted to us to notice it. The muffin is cut in half which I think foreshadows how Caine and Blue are splitting apart from each other. Pomni is mainly red and blue which might have some significance since red and blue are important but I don't know.
In conclusion, I think that this episode is obviously the turning point in the story where things start to really go down and get into the lore. Thanks for listening to my rant!
