SPOILERS FOR BLINDSPOT AHEAD
NOBODY TALK TO ME IM NOT OKAY WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?? Today i woke up at the crack ass of dawn, sat down, and decided to watch the last two episodes. I was then shot 57 times.
The THEATRICS of it all, just, owchโฆ.. ??? She starts her new life, coming out a bag in the new york times square, she bonds, she makes friends, she learns to accept her path, we literally get to LIVE alongside her, we learn the hell she went through before that and the ways she was treated by the corrupt system, only for her to just.. END UP RIGHT BACK WHERE SHE STARTED, FULL OF ZIP, IN A BAG IN TIMES SQUARE?? SOMEBODY KILL MEEE I FEEL SICKKK
This might just be me but im not a fan of the ending not just because we get emotionally attached and its always sad to see a good character die, but because her life had been a set tragic cacophony of events from birth, and i personally think she deserved to live and try again :(
Like here is nearly EVERYTHING she went through;
Orphaned young because her parents were shot dead in the African apartheid in front of her and her brother, spent most of her childhood in that god forsaken orphanage where kids fought over who got to actually sleep in a bed because a member of the us government was training them to be child soldiers essentially, adopted into a home with a mother who only saw her and her brother as beings to train like mice, sought a means of order by joining the efforts in the war only for the very government she was serving to start project Orion which almost killed her in an unauthorized drone strike, was nearly dead when the doctors without borders organization found her only for the doctor that saved her life to die in yet another strike, realized the government she worked for was corrupt and her mother happily started project sandstorm because she had been grooming them to join the fight since the beginning which ended up killing a lot of civilians in multiple organized attacks by sandstorm all while jane believed they were doing the right thing because the reason was just, got zipped and woke up isolated and alone behind enemy lines that she wasnt even aware were considered enemies so she was constantly being plotted against by people who grew suspiscious of her life before being zipped even though she was a clean slate, gets put in a black site and tortured, is forced to kill the head director of the fbi, thought that she was a missing dead girl only to find out she isnt taylor shaw and that taylor shaw was killed and she's alice krueger, finds her ex that she doesnt remember and they get together but he ends up trying to kill her so she has to defend herself, mother finds her and tells her every single death was her fault and that she did this to herself, battles with guilt over her past self and whether she deserves the new life, learns she was sent to kurt and that was her plan so she tries to put distance between them because she feels bad, gets manipulated by her own therapist, mother gets put in a black site, gets married to kurt eventually and tries to live a happy life away from everything only for them to nearly be assassinated and tattooed again, brother was suddenly on her side and trying to take down the corrupt man who started their orphanage but falls in love with said mans daughter and flips on jane and tries to kill her, brother dies of ZIP poisoning and she learns she might die soon too and has to find every data file her brother left behind, gets shot and becomes remi again and then has to fight her own brain back for control to be administered the antidote, madeline takes over guy who started the orphanage's job at hci global so she's immediately involved with the psychopath, her and her team lose their job because madeline pins her own killings and everything the dabur zann did on them to take the heat off of her so they have to run away because theyre all wanted but her friend read dies in a drone strike and they have to hide in a bunker, her friend rich dotcom gets put in a black site, they all eventually get taken in because a member of the dabur zann ivy sands kidnaps them but they get freed, ivy escapes and plans to zip the entirety of new york, they find her zip bombs but jane gets zipped again, the antidote fails so she almost dies, they lose their jobs anyways because the new director of the fbi is a little bitch,
โฆ Only for her to realize she knows the exact location of the bomb and its hidden in her memories so she has to confront to past to save the future and reject the antidote knowing she could very well die if not administered immediately only for her to die anyways right after stopping the bomb.
I like this show because it isn't predictable, the characters make dumb choices that cost them just like in real life, even if it can be frustrating. But thats the point! It gets you yelling at your screen "NO WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT NOO" because YOU know, but they don't. Even so, i feel like the ending was rushed, this series could have honestly gone forever in my opinion, its super good! I wish they didnt kill jane, ugh. She deserved a happy ending :(
