(Spoilers Ahead: You've been warned)

I have to admit I had a hard time getting into this series, but it wasn't long that I fell in line with the time-jumping interwoven narrative. By mid-season I was interested enough to continue and by the end I was glad I stayed. All that being said, the final episode(s) seem to sum up much of what is destroying the world: spoiled kids needing more attention. I wouldn't help but stand in awe as the main "unspecial" character who was having a holy meltdown by the end of the series is played by the now-harder-to-watch Ellen Page. The show seems to resolve to take Number 7 through a time-jump to fix this neediness. It all seems just too fitting for current times and then self-parody is set to ludicrous speed. But then again, perhaps I'm projecting...anyone else?

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I could see it coming, the whole victim posturing, "you shut me out cause I didn't have powers" thing, the drama, the "justified rage" deal, the revenge deal. 'I've been injured, and now you will pay.' That certainly plays to the young people caught up in the cultural current of outrage and victimhood and getting even with the world for being unfair. That is so cliche now, and so predictable, that it detracts a lot from the show in my opinion.
It's almost like Hollywood productions need to reflect all that SJW crap or face backlash from the leftist powers that be. It really does get old though.

And yeah, Ellen Page is a huge drama queen. It's like she goes to extreme measures to position herself as a victim so she can MeToo herself all over the place. Some director made an offhand comment that he thought Ellen had lesbian tendencies, as yet unacknowledged or realized when she was 18.

Don't liberals always browbeat everyone with the idea that there is nothing wrong with being gay, and nothing wrong with saying someone is gay, etc, that it is no different that saying they are straight? Liberals frequently show their solidarity with gays by saying "I'm gay" proudly. Like, there is nothing wrong with it so I don't mind saying that. But now 10 years or so after the fact, Ellen Page is having a national conversation about this, saying she was victimized by that director hinting that she was a latent lesbian. I thought the idea was that there is nothing wrong with that. But now she is posturing as a victim because someone said she was gay.

So it is art imitating life for Ellen Page character to have a huge emotional meltdown, and seek to get even with the world for not thinking she was special when she was younger. lol
