And much like that story, this one became a mess as soon as that thread was dropped!

Honestly, people mock the technobabble, reverse the polarity of the neutron flow resolutions Who often employs, but at least they aren't as cringey or embarrassing as the power of love saving the day, something that's happened way too often during the Moffat era. I really liked the first two parts of this story, but…

In the last two parter, I think.

I personally think the season as a whole will remain well-liked, but this finale will be a bit divisive, I definitely think it's the least skillfully written in the run.

I think there would be less complaints if Jack had gotten a proper one on one fight with future Aku first, since he was at full power.

If the episode had more time, I'm sure they would've shown them in the alternate future living better lives thanks to Jack's actions.

Yeah, it feels almost like they forgot about that, especially since I'm pretty sure every time we've seen him after the first episode (in visions, or flashbacks) he's been in the middle-aged form.

It felt like the finale I'd always wanted…. but in fast-forward! Everything was far too quick, none of the moments had a chance to sink in. Even 10 extra minutes could've helped with the pacing problems I think, but another episode focusing on the battle would've been the best route to go. I got teary eyed at the…

I'm thinking the Guardian could still be a factor in the finale, we don't see his dead body after all. I saw the twist with Ashi coming to be honest, but I was still left feeling emotional at the end, I think just because the show does such a good job of making me feel bad for Jack. I'm just worried the finale might…

Also, I was beginning to lose hope that the Guardian would appear or be acknowledged outside of a line or two, so the ad for the next episode made me cheer harder than I have all year. Even if he's dead and his time portal is destroyed, I'm just glad his episode was recognised as important enough to get a proper…

I honestly loved the ending, and I've been in the middle about Jack and Ashi hooking up. I think it's the naivete both of them clearly have on the subject after years of being completely focused on one goal, and the fact that both have been through hell and back before this moment, they deserve some happiness.

I think they'll bring back the theme at the start, but without the voice-over. Maybe this time Jack can be the one doing the original voice-over with a few words replaced.

The beard and free-flowing hair with the original outfit would have been epic!

The phrasing Jack used suggests that in the hands of evil it can never harm someone good, not that it can't hurt innocents in general.

Yes the original run was a lot less sophisticated, but I feel that added to the charm, it was a simple story of good and evil in the best sense, and the episodic structure and reliance mostly on visuals just helped it to feel all the more mythic. That said, I do appreciate the depth the new season has added, and I'd…

The great thing about the funnier moments to me is that it'd have been so easy to go darker and edgier just for the shock factor and abandon the shows cartoony elements, but instead they used the decreased censorship to actually go into more mature themes while still staying true to the spirit of the show in an…

'And Ashi was covered in soot but otherwise naked until now? Her first fight with Jack was in the snow!'

Demongo almost seems like too big a villain to just use in that one episode (especially since we have no idea how he's alive) I wonder if he's being set up for another appearance.

I remember Tartakovsky saying he wanted (presumably older) kids to still be able to watch the show, considering that people tend to view swearing as being more inappropriate than gore for some reason, having the characters swear would have probably turned a lot of parents off to that idea.

Pretty much every episode showed his evil in some way. In the first three parter alone we saw him turning people into his slaves, blasting a kid into the pit of hate (basically hell) and bragging about how he destroyed the world of his people, the implication that he crucified humanoid dogs, and a ruined Townsville!…
