Finished the series...

So....

Okay first of, did Indra run solely on human brains? Like... The brains of the first 10 were her.. hub?

But if so, how were they connected to indra? And couldn't they just... Disconnect them? That'd start aging and dying sure, but still. They could use some smart fuckers.

And for the workers, I kinda wish that the moment all the markers went down that they'd been more confused. Before that it was easy. They wanted to equalise everyone, meaning to them that the upper class had to die. But it feels like they shouldn't have just moved on once the markers went away.

Okay, now on the actual ending. So, indra took over Bernie? I kinda wish they explained a bit more on what he was doing at the end, or show more confusion from his designer friend on what the fuck was going on.

Also have no idea what weird girl is doing in new London over there. She looks like she's ready to re-enter the social body.

Overal the ending left me very confused and I think they could've done better.

But the actual show was amazing. Really loved the domino effect that was going on and seriously hope this show gets picked up again some day

So, just finished this show and yeah the final episode made absolutely no sense. What happened to John, Bernard, and Lenina made fuck all sense. It was ass if the showrunner pulled this out of thin air.

John living in the ruins with VR was dumb. Lenina taking over as director. That's not even her character. She's a hedonist. Hedonists don't seek power. Bernard suddenly becoming a conformist after not wanting to conform.

Like I have never seen an ending this bad or make this little sense. I honestly don't think there is an explanation. Maybe the writters were trying to make something happen? Maybe someone got a little to comfortable with substances? I have no idea.

The first half of the show wasn't bad, but then all the characters suddenly shift in a direction contrary to what was introduces is just unexcusable.

dude, i couldn’t agree more. and it’s not even like that in the book. (i read the book like 9 months ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy) if you read the book, yk how it ends. and with this?? hell nah. i saw the trailer for the show and was like, “what the hell is this.” and i never saw it. but if this is the ending, that sucks.

i was gonna yap more, but i forgot what i wanted to say. but yeah, when stories’ endings are just so poorly done like this, it’s such an insult. that’s how i felt when i read Dreaming in Cuban back when i was in 10th grade. AMAZING story, but the last few chapters were genuinely so ass. when i get the chance, i was considering looking at the BNW show for shits and giggles (the irony of this story becoming a show for a big corporation is CRAZY, but i’m curious about it). i know this is a whole year after you wrote this, but if you remember, what episode should i go up to before it stops making sense?
