Ohhhh, I see what you're talking about. What I got from you is art is a result of the society; therefore, it mirrors society in someway or the other. I completely agree with that. I still think this too can only be solved by education. In today's date a lot of schools don't teach about relationships and everything along with it. It's often considered taboo. "School is to study; focus on studies don't think about all that; you're too young" Comments like these are often made to teenagers. Imo this quite toxic to society as we expect people to completely ignore relationships at one point and then all of a sudden at a magic age we expect them to know everything. It doesn't really work that way. In a scenario like this, teenagers and young adults will turn to places that are not nearly as credible as school for information on how a relationship should be. In an ideal world, dealing with people and what healthy relationship dynamics (not just romantic but also friendships, parenthood, etc.) look like would be taught in all schools. After all, the youth and children are much easier to teach to, than adults who have already formed unbreakable biases and opinions. Education is the key to the future.

I see what you're trying to say but another point of view I'd like to respectfully put forth is that dramas, movies, books, and any other forms of stories are for entertainment purposes; they are stories to engage in. Their purpose is not to teach individuals how to behave, that is what school is for. Although, in some cases a creator may choose to put forth an educational message through their work, they are not obligated to do so. These are creative, fictional pieces of work and should be treated that way. Imposing the criterion to be morally correct reduces artistic expression and restricts characters to a certain image. In my opinion, we should strive for reason in viewers. Viewers should be able to watch/read/listen objectively and see stories and characters for what they are. They should use logic to decide if there is something worth learning from, whilst engaging in the story as a story, not an ideal representation of life . Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere right now. However, I know its possible. in my high school English class, I have seen and read books with characters who had quite toxic traits. If my teacher could successfully teach us how to view characters objectively and see all aspects of them, I am sure students now can be taught to do the same. I think this would not only make cinema/books/dramas more enjoyable but just make more responsible and logical individuals in society overall. Of course, this is just another perspective.
well said!!I don't know why its hard to understand human nature? Why these days often talk about normalization?…
You're comment reminded me of something someone (I cant' remember who) once said: "we are all victims of victims" and I can think of a million and one ways to interpret that...
I created an account just to say Wow! I love your interpretation, it makes so much sense!! Its not nearly as creative…
Awwwww!!! ;) Also, I totally agree! The gravity of this show is insane!! You can't stop yourself from drowning in the story!! I'll be doing something totally irrelevant but just suddenly think of the show and then see how far Saturday is! Literally my only motivation to get through the week!! 😂
I know this whole scene, where she pricks her finger, has been discussed a lot already and I love all the interpretations…
I created an account just to say Wow! I love your interpretation, it makes so much sense!! Its not nearly as creative as yours but when I saw the scene I thought Gorya was the one punching and she was the one who got hurt, which may have made her think that even though Thyme was the one beating up Tesla he probably got hurt too. I'm not sure if that made any sense but it doesn't even matter any more, scratch my "interpretation", I'm going with what you said. I think this just elevated my experience of watching the show! Thanks! I look forward to seeing more of your thoughts on the show!
Ren gives me the heebie-jeebies for some reason and I can't seem to pinpoint why... is that just me?
