I thought of this at like 11:30pm last night and holy flip this spiralled downhill SPOILERS FOR TADC IN GENERAL idek anymore Okay so we’ve now learnt that Scratch had a tumour and that he was helping develop the circus program and was ‘trying to make something,’ so what if the purpose of the circus is to somehow keep people alive? Or at least their consciousness alive when they’re on the brink of d3ath? And considering Goose has said in the past that abstraction is irreversible, what if abstraction IS d3ath? We know from episode 7 that Jax has some sort of past trauma involving a car, so what if he was in a car crash that landed him to be put on the brink of d3ath and hooked up to the circus? I’m pretty sure Goose also mentioned in a recent post that the cast would learn the origins of the circus and come to a reality that they would have to live with, so said reality could possibly be that they’re all about to d!e? Now moving onto Caine & Abel. At the start of episode 8 we get that little sequence of the red dot (the first ai) getting out control and destroying the blue dot (the second ai). It’s safe to assume that Caine was the red dot, as Bubble does say ‘you always were the lesser of the two,’ and Caine is the one running the circus, but what if the red dot was Abel? The company that both Abel and Kinger mention js C&A. Caine and Abel. Do those two names sound familiar to you? That’s right, the bible. Cain is jealous and offs Abel- just like how the red dot engulfs the blue dot and Caine deletes Abel. Anyways that’s the end of my theories
