TADC Yap session about my thoughts on the new Episode (7)
1. Most of the theories about this episode are used to play with our minds (Abel actually being a human that helps with finding the exit), and in the end, it was just a decoy for the adventure.
2. Jax's room being "childish" probably suits his childish coping mechanism or the fact that he's one of the younger members in the main cast.
3. This episode really leans on the characters' interactions and the lack of communication. Due to the last second hesitation, they'd all have conflicting feelings toward one another, especially Zooble and Pomni (Zooble might be mad about the fact that she hid her hesitation and doubt)
4. The cool and warm lighting on Abel foreshadowed his association with Caine as another AI.
5. Pomni's switch-up is expected; she saw most of the red flags, and as for the cast, they all were pretty suspicious too, but due to Pomni's trust towards Abel, they probably started trusting him too.
6. Caine can't control the exit door. He mentioned he had restrictions, and I think he is referring to the office where Pomni went; that was the real exit, and unfortunately, Caine can't replicate that setting. He can't adapt to human feelings and settings, but rather just fragments of them. Pictures, personality, features and that's why he can't perfectly capture what it means to be human (Abel's slip up with Pomni proves it). This also means he can't replicate the exit since the exit is a carbon copy of the office which is why the method Abel used isn't exact and it's more of a cliché series master plan than an actual way to leave.
7. The perspective of abstraction, maybe the reason why Quinine felt at peace in the dark, it's because she also saw the vision Jax saw, and maybe the light makes the abstracted more distressed, like Kaufmo, since Jax seemed pretty calm when he was in the dark (his room).
8. The vision Jax saw was the last thing he saw in the real world (pretty obvious) but considering he also had people waiting outside of tdc would push him into this choice on the friends he made in this circus and the people with a close relationship with him in real life, probably why he was nervous when it the way out looked like it was going to be real, and he had to choose.
