It's over, isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it over guys? We are looking at the series finale for Voltron on AfterBuzz TV season 8 episode 13. We are going to talk about destroying reality the pros and cons of such and what's in an epilogue. We have a very special guest with us. So team it's time to form Voltron. I swear it throws me every time we get the music and it's the playout music we got this is what I start with my own theme music at the cold open like you gotta just go and pull my heartstrings with like my favorite Steven Universe song why you gotta do that look at all. Well, I had to fit in somewhere and this was it look at all the things I do not regret. Welcome back. We are the AfterBuzz TV Voltron legendary Defender after show. We are looking at season 8 episode 13. The end is the beginning which is a title that also throws me every time because I want to append on word I Oshima to that for the Gravity Falls fans and audience I have with me green line Megan Salinas. Hey everybody. I am black lion Katie Colin and our very special guest today should introduce themselves. I think I'm the green pallid. Next class thank you for joining us. I appreciated the finger guns. I was kind of expecting like applause from the sound board or something. Nah, we tried to provide that was like that was a good approximation of like the the crowd see well, so the chat is halfway between yelling at me in anger and pain and yelling at you and Glee's It's a good way to do this. I'll take it right as usual the house rules before we get this rolling. We are not doing a spoiler warning because guys we're at the series finale what is there to spoil? So there is that don't know what is there to spoil your hopes and dreams? Yes is those we have the live chat if you're watching live on YouTube, we have the hashtag ABT Voltron if you want to participate if you want to say things if you have comments, whatever throw him in the hashtag throw him in the live chat if you are not listening, Live definitely do them in the hashtag the hashtag lasts longer so we can check that all throughout the week. The live chat is not always last and finally as always we have our house rule be nice or get out. Oh you on it. I love it. As always you have your opinions. You are welcome to express your opinions. But if you do not express them in a respectful manner, I will put you and you will be gone and then he doesn't like buttholes. Everyone has them but I want It allowed to respectfully give their opinions here. And I know that banning doesn't sound like a lot because it's the the series finale but just because it's the series finale doesn't mean we're done guys. We got more episodes and you will miss things. So be nice. All righty, let's get the show on the road. I want to know what you thought about pidge's character Arc through the season and through this series talk to me about Pitch. Oh man. I love that little green bean. She's the best most pure, sweetest and smart. I will go all the way back to what I said and season what to I think one or two. Yeah pidge's Batman is Batman Pidge solves everything pinch knows what's going to happen? And even if she doesn't know what's gonna happen. She's gonna fix it. She's got methods in place to fix nearly everything the minute. Laura says what has to be done? Like hints towards what has to be done pigeons. Like oh I know what's up. Oh so plan C then on it. I mean, I think Paige wanted that to be planned like z z sub 5 these soap opera. I'm sure it's like I know that this is a possibility, but please know I like you. This was robbed. This was so rough. This was a very difficult episode and remember how long have they been in space? I can't actually remember Ember literal years literally nigger with literal years hitch started this as a 15 year old 14 for 15 year old bitty baby little baby and after traveling through space for years. She's developed this this maturity and wisdom, but she's still a kid. Yeah. She's still a kid and and dealing with losing someone in your family over and over and over is gonna It's going to take an emotional toll and so I think part of that is why at the very end we get chip a sweet innocent little boy robot dog, because pitches like I did I didn't get this I'm gonna make this is the first law. She's experience. That's been permanent. Oh, yeah. She found her brother. She found her dead her. Wow. Look, I'm recovering from a convention and I'm still Hecht up right now. So that crusties. Yeah, I work the con and I have the Conn plague. So it's like all right. I'm here. Let's do this. Ah, which is how I approach the convention this past weekend for those of you who were at Gallifrey one. Hi, you probably saw me living in the auction room. Yeah, so that's where I'm at right now, but she found her brother even after that fake out. She found her dad who's not hero hero came back, which was nothing short of a miracle. This is the one that stuck. Uh-huh. This is the one that stuck. Hmm. I mean that's the thing is pitch pidge's the luckiest. I don't want to curse on this cast. But I also really want a curse on this cat the luckiest son of a gun. Actually. That's fair because Colleen is a pistol the son of a gun. Right Cal Queen. I can't get over how lucky Pages everything kind of turns itself around except this. This one doesn't really fix itself. No, no, it fixes literally everything else though, literally the rest of reality but it's so it's so heart-wrenching because at the beginning of pidge's Arc, she was willing to put the team aside so that she could put to get his sheet so that she could find what was left. To her family. She was willing to put all of that aside. And now this is an extension of her family. Mmm-hmm. And so seeing a Laura sacrifice herself, not only for this family, but for the universe in general for something larger than herself that that says a lot about where all of these characters so she's never going to forget that no ever. None of them. Will the last thing a Laura says to her is also absolutely gut-wrenching. Just yeah how how hurt I wrote it down. I wrote all of the final words down because I can't you wanted to cry why because I do my job. I'm supposed to leave this dumpster fire. I will do my best. That's where I can see that's better. What did she say kitty remain curious and fearless and she did like, all right just stabbed me in the heart. Why don't you over and over and over five times? I was able to place accession number five is the knife, even if a Laura isn't there? Appliance that's going to be this episode is night only for Pilots. No, just that shot when they cut back to the inside of the Blue Lion and the cock pic is is empty. Yeah, like that was just such a haunting image. Yeah, but it's so good. It really isn't this show is so good at just like we just need to kind of Linger on this on this moment for a little bit. Let's just stay here. Here's the musical cue. I mean, okay, they're all crying. Let's move on we have this argument because it's funny but at the end of the day, it's not Discussion who is the most important part of Voltron allora all the way through a Voltron would not exist if it weren't for a Laura nothing would happen if it weren't for Laura and so it makes sense for everything to begin and end with a Laura. Yeah. It's about you. There is no Voltron. Well, you're looking at Voltron anymore. Yeah. It's like that thing that I can't even remember which superhero it hero it is that says and I'm pretty sure they all say it at some point you guys. As need to learn how to save yourselves and a Laura. Knows that is like we can save reality and once we've done that reality, we have to facilitate reality saving itself and maintaining its own safety. Yeah and hold for all of that. Yeah Voltron was the Catalyst for this Voltron was what broke up this 10,000 years of dumpster fire and set up until Ontarian regime said everyone on the road to Yeah. Well, yeah for the empire. The same thing look I made a shirt that said for a bit. Sorry for a reason. It's in my shirt shop. You could get one for yourself. It's a fun five. You can cancel the fight except I can't because I keep trying to Marie kondo my closet and then this happens look at all the things I don't regret doesn't just bark - Joy when you're me well then sorry Beck's you're just gonna have to own everything pretty much. Everything Sparks Joy if you're me. I'm so ATD. I can find joy in anything. It's a blessing and a curse. Is there a philosophy to having someone else Marie? Kondo your closet? Like what's that called? I don't know. I don't know either a condo because he's married someone who will throw things out. We're play. I'm sorry. I think I'll see myself out. No, please today. I think that's when you get to be on season 2 of Mariko news because it's like What do you do when everything Sparks Joy? Yes, how can you help me when I find joy in the literally everything. I feel like that's a good way to live life that is especially on days where I'm like having a bad brain day. It's just like, you know find that one little thing in the corner that makes me smile. Oh, wait that whole car. Cards that make me smile, or is that just your pinch Shrine pretty much even? Why did agrees yeah for you Corner? Exactly. It's a superpower. Anyway, it did so good her powers for good. I'm working on it facial expressions. Oops, great podcast so that I had a segue for that. But yeah. But I ruined it speaking of using your powers for good and not doing that talk about owner before a minute. Good Lord. Let's talk about how Alaura had to reach in and reset her brain. Hey, remember that time before you were completely Bonkers. Let's talk. A bit and as you pointed out when we were watching it, it's the exact opposite of what she did is arc on a couple episodes ago. Yeah. It's it that makes for a really good parallel because a Laura was at like her lowest at that point in terms of how ruthless she was being and how far she was willing to go to stop her nerva. And that was arguably a very morally questionable thing to do especially with the abruptness of it. But here yeah, it's like the complete inverse it was Make well, no, it's the exact same thing, but it's reminding people of the good in the world and you know, what can be achieved when we work together. And what's what's worth I guess saving reality for well and they went digging into all nervous mine for information and this her memories who she used to be wound up being the exact information. They needed to save reality. Yeah, it's funny how that happens. It's almost like writing happened or something. Writers are all y'all rock. Yeah, no kidding. God bless the writers for this show. I mean they tackle such complex things. In a pretty colors. Yeah, one of my co-workers her young son is a fan of the show. So she's watched it with him and occasionally. It's like hey, did you season it yet? And I'm like, yeah it gets real dark. Yeah, you may want to and the Jackie back with him son loved it. He keeps watching the last two episodes. Oh my God, that's heartbreaking your son's doing. Okay. Yeah, the trauma is going to happen later. I don't decide this is a show aimed at younger. Kids, it has a lot of content in it. That's just because they target audience is a certain age range doesn't mean that everyone can't enjoy it when I say, this is a 30 year old adult. That's the thing is Voltron is aimed at seven months to 700 years. It's there's something in there for absolutely everybody to say it's a kid show is very limiting is it's accurate to how it was pitched and how it was build but it's limiting because Voltron is so much more. More than just pretty colors and beautiful animation. That's like saying that animation is a whole is only for children. Yeah, and that's very dismissive of the art form as a whole. Yeah. It's recommended or aimed for a certain age range, but that doesn't mean it has to stay there and I'm pretty sure like the toy company who owns the Voltron IP is like its fur boys and their dads and the Target and the audience that watches Voltron is like sure about that. Hey that the multicolored lions that combined into a giant robot are for everyone Maybe. Someone's playing this on a speaker and their dog cake you could sell things to a much larger demographic. Maybe maybe what I'm saying is I want more jewelry. Sometimes we make our own merchandise because it doesn't exist that I say that I wearing a Sinister type in yep, because soon as I makes good stuff Cinna sign makes beautiful things honcho low makes all of the jewelry that I always wear. I Like fan-made form Voltron ring of it and I wore it in the last show. I was on and I'm hoping someone will like zoom in there like wait there soon. That's how YouTube works. That's how you to work. And then they take off their glasses in there like my God for a guy takes off a pair of glasses. Continually. That's the mood of every CSI episode. Let's add that's actually kind of how I feel about the show. So that like oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God, this whole life ever. Is that in Reverse though? It's that foosh pain cream. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, well never wanting to murder all of reality because if I can't enjoy the simple joys of Life who can like what I mean. We talked about this a little bit last week the fact that her motivation is that you know, we is essentially the same motivation Naz like into the spider-verse like the fact that she just wants her family back is such an interesting motivation for the the last big bad standing like out like after everything all people powerful. Yeah because it's interesting because more crimes happen because of love than hate. Yeah and in real life if you talk to any investigator, that's probably what they're going to tell you most investigators at least. But that's people do crazy things for love family. Love lust love whatever love they end up having they will do unbelievable things for the people that they love and for the things that they love. I mean look at John Wick he went he went off on a killing spree for a dog. I can't blame them very cute dog. My point and we're looking at on nerva at this point. She's been dead. She's been resurrected. She's really high on quintessence. And she's also really high on the intergalactic evil entity. Like she's not thinking straight right now, but I also kind of have to love if I can't have it. No one can burn it to the ground. I have to love that as a motivation for a villain like, oh, I can't have it. Well screw all of you. I'm not only picking up my toys and leaving. I'm new king the playground. The playground that's what this is. She basically went to the playground of reality and went y'all done. Yep, pretty much and we the way that all the realities are depicted the way that the source is depicted. I love this. I love this weird shiny spider web where everything comes back to it's almost like a root system. It looks like a nervous system. Yeah, I mean think about it. Yeah your brain kind of Hates what reality is and vice versa? It's kind of cool. I like I like what they kind of girl map. Yeah the universe and there's so much about the human brain that we don't understand. Mmm. The universe could operate exactly like the human brain. We don't know. We don't know either of those two things. Yeah, not just this is large terrifying fight in the middle of the brain of the universe and we don't have a destroys realities everyone else getting the egg. In Bob's Intergalactic brain the Galaxy of Bob. Thank you. Just got another of a destroyed Bob at one point. Oh, yeah, I'm Bob was like not having that. Nope. That's what you get for hitting on me. No, no. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. Yep. Just the worst migraine is someone literally destroying a brain from the inside out how this and I just love just pulling this out pulling out these giant ridiculous Wings because in the end its wings the tenants just taking on her phone going. No. No, we're gonna sit down just sit just sit just sit and let's talk see Talking helps things talking and also having someone magically reset your brain like, you know turning it off and on again. The thing that helps is though. It's just a little reset button turned off and back on again you can you be fine, too. Look at that all of it. Like is it possible that all this time? Huh never was just hangry and that the same result could have happened. If a Laura had handed her a Snickers go. I'm nirva. You have a Snickers. You're not yourself when you're hungry someone in chat said that about 15. Yes. We're on the same wavelength. I like it. I need an animatic this Katie toxins that maybe things would have gone better. If we'd all worn the right socks. Thank you. I agree with slav. I think that okay. I like that slav is the embodiment of what it's like to have OCD and anxiety and I like that she Ro has trouble with it because that is just the quintessential neurotypical verse neurodivergent. That I've ever seen like I've I've experienced being slob in a situation with a Shiro and I'm like just you gotta let me get through it. You just gotta let it happen guys well and then proving slav right like yeah, I believe this but I don't believe that anyone sits there and calculates. Oh my God, you do. Oh my God, and then Slaughter straight up predicting the series finale like yeah, this realities Hecht man and pigeon. I love how easily Pages like you. Oh, no, I'm wrong. You're right. Right, let's do this back down aluminum. I love that but that's another thing. I love about page. She could just accept when she's wrong and switch tracks. It's that smart. It's that easy. It's like you're presented with the facts as like, oh my assessment was incorrect. This is the correct assessment. Now, there is an exception to that double modulation. Always double modulate your uncle never. See eye to eye on that one. Never. Chip is double modulated at every every every Ally, of course he is. Yeah, that's the whole family project. He's absolutely double modulated. Do we want to talk about chip for a second? Hey, I don't I think we'll get there. I think I'm still kind of in the apocalypse right next are enough or rather. We're moving back to this self-sacrifice just the so I can reset you and I can make you a Force for good instead of evil. You know, what that requires. Yeah, let's go. Well, like part of what Gavin Stearns was seeing memories of lotor before he got Cronenberg was just seeing him interact with a Laura. It's just like, oh you you were trying to help my son and this is this is where they're like, well, yeah, lotor was misguided But ultimately like if you're talking macro like still genocide you're talking macro scale. He did want the best. He's a Cronenberg, he's a crown and very kind of shuttle onion. Yeah would he's got a flare. He's gonna lie. It's been an incredible Force for good had his family life not been so hectic because you know, he just wanted mom and dad even though mom wasn't there to be proud of him. He didn't know his mom until it was too late. He didn't go off the deep end until zarkon looked at this planet that had made and went no son. You are wrong and murder. Add them all and then exiled him. Laughs. Yeah burn it down and salt the Earth dad Thanks. So that's not scarring in any way shape or form you like kids. That's the thing is he was being a Force for good on that planet and his dad was like nope. Evil is the way to go and he's like, okay fine. You want evil they got it. And seeing these memories of her son like that are what sort of help her nerva come to terms with the fact that she is responsible because a lot of a lot of this is her refusing to take responsibility for her role in how terrible their lives all ended up. I'm gonna go back to something page says in season 1 about anybody can man up because it's an expression anybody can man up because it's an Freshen it son gendered even though it's unnecessarily gendered under of a man's up at the end. Yeah, it gets it done. Yeah and accept the consequences faces it and fixes it. It's a really big consequence, but she does it. Yeah, and that's that is a lesson to be learned and I Laura helps and we have this spiritual family reunions at the end there and recreate reality along with die. Kaiba's all and I'll Te'o just like okay when you can rewrite reality, you undo a couple genocides, I guess good looks the spirits of the the older Paladin's come back because yeah, like the last time we saw them it was in huh, nervous mind. Say Escape. So like seeing them come back here was so so cool. It was it was a wonderful send-off for these characters Hmm. This was just a beautiful moment, even though like the goodbyes were all heartbreaking and then I still spend some time trying to figure out like okay Lance has the mark of the Chosen and then you pointed out. Oh, it's called just that the mark of the chosen. It'll chose his she chose him. It doesn't happen. Like we I think we kind of employee inferred that it was a genetic thing. But no, it was probably a deliberate choice of who gets to be a chosen one. Well, that's why it's called the mark of the chosen. It's like passing down a keyblade. I mean, it's like I like to think of it as in Judaism we also I say we are the chosen people and being the chosen people gets passed down by bloodline. So the marks get passed down by bloodline except when you are chosen, I like that. Yeah, it's so good. Ah the I know yeah, it did seem when we were like binging through it. It did seem very abrupt but you go back and you're like, oh no I get it. Now. This is a season that really benefits from a slow re-watch just everything in it. The slow build of seeing how Alaura got to this place seeing relationships develop seeing the Curtis has been there the whole time there are there are so this Curtis has been there's a whole time. He has he's bout time. He's just been in the background of every picture like photobombing because you know, like Curtis really likes the the the captain sitting on the bridge but then Curtis is the one that grabs captain for the kiss at the wedding and I'm like, okay. Okay, we made that joke with the arm wrestling. It's like and that was when Curtis fell in love. Yep. That is absolutely yeah. Yeah, and he's had a bunch of lines. He's been around for a while. He's he has been helping so it's not just like who is this guy? It's like no. No, he's been there. We just haven't put a lot of emphasis on him, but he is there. Yeah, something like you know what you're looking. For it's like yeah, he's been there the whole time and interestingly. I don't know if anyone noticed this the shows not actually about relationships. It's about war. Yeah, please play the dun dun duh sound right now because we need that I needed that but that's the thing is it Curtis in the background makes sense? Because they're never going to bring them to the foreground be like this is gonna be a I love interest because that's not what the show is. It's not about who falls in love with who it's about sure. Love conquering hate ya empathy and understanding at the end of the day that kind of thing that Triumph not but the Russian ship love but there are so many different kinds of love. So they're all valid so to sit here and say romantic love is the best and all the rest doesn't matter. It's just like oh friend the Greeks had seven different words for seven different kinds of love you can tell but and that's the thing is too. Saying that relationship Love Is The Only Love That Matters gives kids such a bad view of what their lives have to be has to be like you are not less than for not having someone on your arm. You are just enough for wanting to be alone or even if you don't want to believe be alone and you are alone, you're nothing less than your not less than for being alone and to tell people that they are It kills them it kills them slowly from the inside out and that is not okay, and I hate that and I'm tired of sitting and watching people say things like that just because you don't end up with someone doesn't mean you're alone doesn't mean you're sad and doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you. Whatever. However you end up is fine. If you feel okay with that then it's fine. Don't let anyone else shit all over you for the decisions. You've made you don't need someone to complete you. You are already complete if you find someone to compliment you great. That's the one. Hey, thank you. You are enough. You are enough and we love you. Yeah that too. Yes. Yay. So thank you for letting me go off and I'm just very tired of seeing all that. I think that was a good place to go and I think before we move on we need to have a little break here. Sure. I'll take care of a little bit of stuff. So yes. Hello after Bros. We only have a few more episodes. So I'm bringing it back. Hey bros, before we move on to our next topic.

And when you leave a review be sure to screen cap it and throw it in the hashtag ABT Voltron because iTunes really likes reviews but iTunes really doesn't like organizations. So we have a hard time finding the mobile devices. It's impossible. So, Do the thing do that. We love to give you guys shout outs. I don't see anything new in the hashtag. But we do it or you you know that we do and I think at this point we need to talk about our one year later and our epilogues you are at that point in the night. So Chip shit evidently a reference to vehicle Voltron like the holes are just like let's make Voltron again, but with vehicles and stomach Mayans. I mean if you go through frame by frame, there are Hints at vehicle Voltron in the in the epilogue. Yeah and the epilogue in the in the cotton the uniforms that the people in the background are wearing and in the actual vehicles that are in the background of that hanger that the whole siblings are in the not easy to see you're gonna have to go back and search and you're probably going to have to go on the internet and search old voltron's to find the connections but they're there. Yeah. This was the time when they were they ran out of go lion footage and so they Had to start mashing together others other shows Robotech style and chip in the original Voltron for people who didn't know chip and pin judge were brothers. And and that was the loose thread that connected the old footage to the new foot. Yeah, making a new brother. Exactly and I always wanted to Littlest brother. So Matt got chard. Matt did get shorn. That was like anti a minute. It he's like I'm tired of this long hair It's gotta go. All right, I couldn't find a decent Barber out in space. I had to wait until I came back to her. I don't think part of it was like he's working and he got tired like tying his hair up and easy, like, you know what he did the identity crisis had bugs. Come back the Marshall. Yeah, he hit his quarter life crisis and he's just like It's gotta go. Yeah pretty much just like no we're done like, all right. All fun great. It's yep. We're building chip. We have Lance telling the story of ellora to the kidlets. And I love that. It's multi-species kidlets. Oh, yeah, it's everyone it's not just like here's the alt a in children. It's are one. Well, I'm gonna go back to something I said earlier is a Laura left Laura took Voltron and left the Voltron Coalition. So instead of having this big superhero to keep the world. Peace. She's left behind the ability. For the world for the universe to piece itself. Yeah. Yes ossify it's all the pieces are in place. You know, it's just up to everybody else to put them together to form the metaphorical Voltron Universe formed Punk the Diplomat / cooking Empire. Like I'd love to be a part of this. He never wanted to be a diplomat. He didn't want any of this in the beginning. He involved he grew grew into this role in such a beautiful way and I love that and it sends the furnace is love language. Yeah, it's such a perfect extension of like how he was raised because yeah if food is how is how his family would say that they loved each other and so he can bring peace to the universe by sharing that love with everyone. Yes. It's I think Keith of the beginning was just a fighter. All he wanted to do is fight fight fight fight fight all the time. And his growth and evolution was he turned the blade of Marmora into a refugee and humanitarian organization or an organization. Thank you. And and I love that growth. That's just beautiful to me. Yeah, I love the comfort for one. He's giving a full-on speech to the crawls are about we can do better. We need to do better. We have an opportunity. Now, let's do it. Let's join the galactic Coalition there like you you You know our new ruler and he's like no just the Classic Keith how many times I want you to lead Voltron? Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope, pretty much and that he wins it being anything else. I have to be doing now, but what if I just leave and find myself for two years, what did I just do that? But he's he has become such an incredibly good leader. Yeah my God, just watching all this character growth and speaking. Of leaders and growth Shiro goes from being the battle Centric leader. All he can do is explore and battle and everything is about everything everything and everyone else. He gets a chance to finally stop that and live for himself, which he's never done before the fact that it was phrased as Shiro leaves the battle behind it's like yes, this is someone who has been caught up in this noise since the beginning has been tortured has been traumatized has had to fight for his life. Literally died for this war come back and the fact and the fact that he is able to step back and do something for himself as that's absolutely incredible and I think can heal it all happened because of a Laura. Mmm of a Laura giving him permission to stop I needed that external voice telling him. It's okay. You've done your part. So you can breathe now and live for yourself the universe no longer needs Voltron. No longer needs you to lead Voltron. It's not all on you put the planet down Atlas, we're good. Yes, love that and and and and and I guess that brings us to Pidge who pitch was a kid pitch pitchers growth was learning who she was and what she wanted to do. And now she's doing it. That's the simplest and the purest And so I guess all that's left is Lance Lance went from all he wanted to do was be number one. I always wanted to be the flyer The Fighter the tailor the everything he wanted to be seen because he's a kid fan our big family. Yeah, he felt overlooked kind of like Ron Weasley and so he got to be number one. He got to be number one. He was voltron's. hand man quite literally and it wasn't what he needed. It was everything he wanted but it was nothing that he needed. He ended up losing the person he loved most and that left such a sour taste in his mouth that he he needed to stop more than anything and sometimes what you want isn't what you need and Lance figured that out and rolled with it. He went home and he took what he needed and his family had always been And very important to him and we roll it all the way back to season 1 episode 2 and you see what's on everyone's Minds that they have to put aside and it was his family. He wanted to go home just like Pidge wanted her family. He wanted his so. Yeah. So this whole I'm on a farm with my family surrounding himself with the things and people that he loves just yeah, so it's I don't agree with the assessment that oh, well Lance is Forever alone like oh that doesn't mean anything it's because we didn't see him specifically wind up with someone doesn't mean that it didn't happen just and it doesn't mean that it was necessary doesn't mean he's alone. Yeah, and again, it's not necessary and and you can find love again after heartbreak and losing people so we don't get lost the first love of his life. He can find a second love of his life. That's human. That's fine. But it's better. You hear me give him space don't rush. The boy Lance is not forever alone. And Shiro is not a trophy husband. No, even in that like epilogue. He's surrounded by the flowers that are her Legacy and like that grow everywhere evidently. Oh, yeah, not just on all Taya everywhere. He's surrounded by her memory. And again, that's that's also surrounding him with the thing. Is that he loves they're never going to be a part guy. She's always going to be with him right there. Absolutely. Yep. No, it's beautiful and meaning something because the Lions when the Lions picked up and left they and lit up and it is it's okay nice her taking them back and saying goodbye eyes. I'm gonna think that forever because of that little like the the female figure in the stars. I miss her. She is everything that was totally alert and and guys look we know this the ending of the season was controversial. It's okay if you didn't like it, but it's also okay if you did, yeah, if anybody's trying to make you feel like your opinion isn't valid one way or another kick them in the butt. Yeah, you don't have to listen to that person. You can just agree to disagree and we can all get along. It's okay, because that you're allowed to have opinions. Ian's just Express them in a respectful manner you're allowed to disagree with people. It's fine. It's fine. Just don't go to war over it. We spent a whole series talking about how war is bad don't go to war over your differing opinions and never ends. Well, it's unnecessary just talk. She's nice James Brown says also lands has called the Necker. Yep. Oh my God. Yeah. That guy finally get some peace like God that cow needed it. A small and then got like transported into a literal War Machine and Intergalactic to our another war machine into another War Machine. She finally gets to just sit on grass live on a farm. That is the most of her days making milkshakes for people. That is the most well-traveled coward right? I was right. Oh and just also just want to say that about me when I die Sean your Tombstone. She was the most or they were the most Okay exactly. What the hell and Tiny animal says something. I'd like to point out. Wait a minute. What about Cosmo? It's such a big flew for here later. My God, that is a writing wolf. Yes, and that is a liar. Yeah, and then it teleports. Ah, so good teleport me into battle Cosmo is a good good boy and all that note. We need to end this. We just want to point out that Rimmel and Rimmel and Akshay and scrap its Alfie, Boe be we're all Sous chefs. Yes, and that was that was incredible. I'm not gonna lie. I still ship auction room out because I think they would be The Odd Couple. Yeah. I don't think like they didn't have very many scenes to get right but they're so perfect. Their characters are just so not even similar sew them together would just be like, oh, how do you Work just this I'm intrigued let's go. Yes. All right. Well, we do have to wrap this up I miss doing this but we had a short short time today. So final opinions on I think we have a good finale. Yeah, I did think it was solid. I think it wrapped up a lot. I think what I think we did. Well, I think so too. Yeah, it was a good time and it's sad to see the show go but a lot of shows don't get to go out on their own terms. All good things must come to an end. Mmm. The end of coughs Supernatural putting Supernatural is a good thing as a bold move. It's live long enough to see itself become the villain.
