    Doesn't matter, the whole series is now available somewhere. S2 was able to come out and the whole story is finished. Meaning in years to come, when people are interested, they can just look it up and find the show. The show is available for the ones who want quality content, and the ones who skip it will be missing out.
    I'm thankful the world can see it on its entirety.

      This. With all the issues the series faced it's a miracle we actually got to see the ending, and I'm happy with just that. S2 could have been locked up forever, or they could have gone for 3 seasons only to get cancelled at S2 end leaving us on a cliffhanger. Now that it's done and out there anyone can watch it and us dedicated fans can spread the word.

      Yeah but I mean in Maddie's original timeline which the show takes place in.

      Pretty sure it's in the original timeline of our version of Maddie considering it had the bloodbath and son death and the message from SafeSurf anyways that's all irrelevant I'm just saying I think Chanda as an entity survived the final battle since his tower and the Clan didn't show up and we saw in the season 1 final battle that he needs to bring himself aka the tower over to operate at full capacity.

      We didn't get to see Reality Prime, i.e the original timeline that Safesurf came from and later simulated. Maddie didn't become GodMaddie there because she never received a message from safesurf.

    I'm still pretty sure a version of Chanda survived Holstrom. Heck I'm pretty sure the version that was fricking with the nuclear codes wasn't even the main Chanda and the "real" one was hanging out with the Clan in his tower while everyone else was running themselves hot.

              Holstrom's server was Chanda's server. Holstrom finished building everything according to Chanda's designs. Chanda himself couldn't finish it because of the flaw.

          I feel like the original prime timeline ended with Maddie killing herself after losing everyone, so that’s why SafeSurf created simulations where they gave her that message that would inspire her to keep living to end up as GodMaddie.

    IDK man, the ending was kind of a boring unsatisfying copout.
    It didn't go to the places I wanted or the themes I actually care about when exploring AI/UI and what it means to be human, it just picks a side and runs with it at a surface level. In that way I don't think it respected my intelligence at all and tried to be BIG to make up for lacking actual depth.
    I know my critique here sounds heavy, I still liked the show, it's a lot better than the average garbage being made, the characters are great, had plenty of wonderful moments, the overarching themes and ideas were just lacking heavily and then the last two episodes were super underwhelming for the genre.
    It is for sure a shame about the whole "lost to time" thing though, I hate seeing actual attempts at compelling plot driven animation being drowned out.

          Just make Caspian a clone and have Cary be his actual adopted dad. Or have Renee be the surrogate mother and carry Caspian (who's still genetically Holstrom's clone) in her womb. And Caspian and Maddie can meet since David works for Holstrom's company, where Caspian's dad also works

            That specifically picked a universe where they would meet in the same way. They went through it and showed everything happening the same way. I'm pissed because while Maddie has been bumping around for centuries, Caspian has been alive for like a day and a half at this point.

        I haven't watched the show yet but if this is the consensus, I'm assuming the plot is basically Homestuck but condensed- with this immortality through death and the afterlife, multiple/infinite universes, timeline manipulation, religious undertones, mortality and morality being challenged, and all that.

                Sure, which would only leave a question of hierarchies between copies of an entity in question.

                Adding an anchor to "self" or "personality" in a form of the soul (your personal beliefs are irrelevant here) or an additional latent variable to the question surely would spice things up when it comes to works of fiction.

              Better question, "Does it even matter?"

              I look at it this way, if you want to upload because you want your personal subjective consciousness to exist forever well it won't however you can assume that your copy would also want that so it's not like it's a waste.

              However if your reason for wanting to upload is for more selfless reasons like wanting to complete some goal that is important to you, to fix problems or to be there for someone you care about than uploading would be very appealing, sure it requires your own personal death but that just means it would be something you would do at the end of your life rather than never.

            I mean it depends. Do transporters from Star Trek kill you? If the thing created from the process is identical to (you) when you went in, then what's the difference between it and (you)?

              That would make a decent "twilight zone" episode.
              Here is a premise:
              * scientists discover a way to teleport things from machine A to machine B.
              * Experiments on particles, molecules, items, insects and small animals are success.
              * Time for a grand finale - human. Man goes in, teleports on the way out - healthy, fully functional, but emotionless, passive meat husk of a man.

            But only from your perspective if you have a family (David) they will see the copy as you, If you are already brain dead (Laurie) you won't care because you were already effectively dead, a better way of looking at it is that you aren't just killing yourself to become immortal but rather you were already dying/dead but now some aspect of you lives on and can take care of the people you love, it's basically life insurance.

        To be fair it's an extremely subjective form of death.
        If your death leaves behind a perfect copy of you with all of your memories, your personality, your thoughts, a copy so perfect even your closest friends and family members can't tell the difference, by what objective standard are you even dead?
        The subjective perspective of an original who died the instant the copy was made and cannot report this discrepancy?

          on the objective standard that there is no continuity with the you that is you now. There's gonna be a thing that wakes up like you do every day in the machine but the you that is you now is going to be dead with it's skull hollowed out, never to wake up again. In a weird way uploading is extremely selfless. You get to leave the people you love something behind so that they never have to experience the loss of you. You though, the actual you that spent time with them and created the memories they don't want to lose, the you that's alive right now? You're fricking dead.

            Which is why the whole fact that the UI is merely a copy is at worst merely a reason to stall uploading until near the end of your life rather than forgo it altogether.
            Life your human life and then when you're at death's door tell the nurse to wait until some random time you're asleep to give you some anesthesia and put you in the brain scan machine.

            Your UI might be momentarily surprised to a copy/ know that you are dead but once they exist they aren't going to commit suicide out of some horror at the thought of their own existence, you knew what you were doing and they remember being you so it's consensual passing of the torch.

    I really liked the show, especially given the current state of animation and available content.

    Still, idea of UI is far-far-fetched from reality.
    Consider the following: you "scan" somebody's brain and force it to run on the dedicated hardware. So far, so good - but not really.

    To run a simulation of a single brain with high precision on the level comparable to the real one, we must first know capabilities of the former in a quantifiable way.
    Which we do not fully understand in the first place.
    Second, such task would ideally require a specifically designed hardware (chips, ASICs, SOCs, etc.). Regular servers are not designed to handle such simulations, as far as I know.

          Yes, defintely. He was uploaded against his will in a gruesome scene, followed by getting stuck in a repetitive loop with those ghouls slowly reaching out to him. Those were kino moments but apart from maybe the killing spree (which seemed out of nowhere), the show just stopped including him after that

        Also think of it this way. If it's even possible for this to be a simulation, its about a 10 billion percent chance that you're in one. There's only one reality but there can be billions of simulations. So rather than worrying about life being a simulation accept that it is, and if it is that there must be some reason why you exist. That's kind of comforting in it's own way.

    Question: in the flashback when Caspian was a baby Renee told Cary they they won't have sex, Cary then said that he doesn't care about the body but the mind tends to hold a grudge. What does this mean? They eventually had to have sex or at least be a pleasant couple (for a while) to make it work. Sorry I know Renee is a bad person but past her is pretty hawt.

      It kind of depends. How do you feel about a definitive end that leaves you feeling kind of hollow inside mulling over the details for several days trying to collect your thoughts on the events that have transpired? I can't say that it ends in an unsatisfying way, just that I wish so many things had turned out differently. If you're okay with stories that lean more into the tragic then you'll be fine, if you want an out and out happy ending, well this show probably shouldn't have ever been that. There were too many implications. The worst I can say is I wanted more time, especially for the last two episodes. The show goes in a very interesting direction and those 2 episodes deserved a season all to themselves.
