Here we go gang. My very last Digital Circus theory post (minus the bingo sheet that I will post tomorrow before the big event).
#1: I think the Digital Copies theory is the most likely thing to be happening. Especially since episode seven basically debunked all the other theories we had.
#2: I'm locking in Jax for abstraction. I think despite the overwhelming proof to the contrary, he is unwilling to believe that anyone actually wants him around. Also, I don't know who else it would be. Also, all the teasers and promotional stuff have had him front and center, depressed, and/or purposefully on his own accord separated from the group.
SOMEONE has to abstract. You cannot show me such a shiny gun in the first episode and not pull the trigger. I don't care who you hit but it better hit someone.
#3: I think Caine and Bubble are going to stay dead, but I do think we will get some flashbacks of them. Which is fine by me.
#4: We're going to find out what's beyond the void. Personally I like the idea of a databank that holds the rest of the cast's memories. This would include their names and information pertaining to what they are (if they turn out to be digital copies).
Now if I am to connect these dots into an actual episode outline, I would say that the cast will spend a bit processing what just happened, likely accompanied by several flashbacks. Then they will venture out into the void to try and find something or make one last escape attempt, as Caine is not there to stop them. Once at the end of the void they will find the databank, remember their names, remember who they were, and finally, realize that they are only copies of real people and in fact can never leave the circus.
This will undoubtedly cause a massive amount of despair for a little bit. But everyone will eventually come to grips with this new reality. Paired with their newfound conjuring abilities, it may not be so bad after all. Ahem, except for a certain ill-adjusted purple bitch.
Jax I think will take this information extremely poorly. Not just because it's an inherently upsetting idea, but because he was right again. It wasn’t real, he's not real, which to him means that nothing, not even himself, matters. He will become an even bigger antagonist than he already is and descend into total madness. Eventually abstracting after being unwilling to see another point of view, or connect with anyone else.
But that's a very sad end to Jax's story. We, and the characters themselves, don't want to lose Jax. So if I'm to come up with a happy, or at least neutral ending, the darkness calms down the abstracted. The whole circus is dark so maybe with enough calm exposure to those who have not abstracted, they can sort of interact in a meaningful sense. They won't be the same, but they won't be gone completely.
Personally I don't think that'll happen but I guess it's possible.
But we'll just have to wait and see.
