Interesting gun facts from Episode 6 (and a bit of lore)

Kinger is shown using a Ruger 57, which ties into the series' continued use of the number 57. This is also the pistol's first known media appearance.

The big revolver used by Pomni, Jax, and Kinger is a Smith & Wesson Model 350 (remodeled with Caine and Abel on the barrel). Like the Ruger, this is the Model 350's first media appearance as well.

Finally, the revolver used by Jax to shoot Ragatha is a Chiappa Rhino 50DS, which has been seen in films such as Total Recall (2012) and Divergent.

In-universe, I find the choices of all these guns interesting because they all are all relatively modern guns, while the Circus itself appears to have been designed in the late 90s/early 2000s (based on the graphics and type of computer seen in the pilot).

I'm a bit of a gun nut (all this info I got from the Internet Movie Firearms Database).

This. This was the darkest, the scariest, the most disturbing part of the entire show for me.

Just seeing each member trapped helplessly in their own personal hell.

I’ll admit it: I felt bad for Jax here.

I never liked her. I hated how she treated the others (especially Gangle).But…in her final moments of sanity, her crying that she didn’t want to go while being forced to accept the inevitable…did make me feel a little something. I still don’t like her, but she didn’t deserve this. No one does.

They were right.

I hope Leah (Ribbit’s human self) got a happy ending.

Did she make peace with her parents? Did she find friends or a partner who treated her well? I really want to know.

They really got me to care about her in the small amount of screen time she had.

Was it a prank?

I heard someone on YT suggest that Ragatha's friends/coworkers dared her or tricked her into putting on the headset.

What do you think?

[ironghost828]

Okay, so Gangle and Zooble are in love. Is it safe for me to say that I still view Ragatha and Pomni as just really close friends?

Maybe I just don't pick up on signs, but I never really saw any romantic spark between them. I like to picture them as really close friends. Do they love each other? Sure, but not in a romantic way.

Again, I believe that you can be friendly and supportive, even loving, of somebody without having romantic feelings for them.

I still really don’t like the “if a character is friendly and/or supportive to another character, they must be in love” stereotype.

[ironghost828]

How would it even work?

Them being intimate and having sex.

Gangle’s made of ribbons and Zooble’s just a plastic body. They don’t even have a mouth.

And what did Caine give them that they didn’t already have? The ability to feel sexual pleasure? Or the ability to generate “parts?”
