OH I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE HERE WE GO CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU LOSE IT LIKE WE ARE😭😭😭

The Zach Hadel cameo was pretty hilarious. It's cool that he also cameoed in Hazbin as well in the Scream Rain ep.

Angela

Not a huge thing considering the rest of the episode, but I wonder if the note Caine leaves saying he's going out to get ingredients for the "milk and cigarette casserole" is a reference to the "dad said he was going out to buy [milk/cigarettes] and never came back" trope

Gabi

I'm so happy you posted this so soon after the episode aired. I'm so happy you freaked out as much as I did 😂

I just remembered that Jax has tripophobia and that mindstate was full of that stuff. But he was at peace.

i'll admit...i am deeply irritated with this episode and need a really long break away from any internet shows or adult animations...

Can't help but notice another biblical reference. "Scratch. The first Abstraction." "Old Scratch" is another name for The Devil. Also, someone had pointed out that there's a philosophical quandary called The Chinese Room argument. "The Chinese room argument holds that a computer executing a program cannot have a mind, understanding, or consciousness,[a] regardless of how intelligently or human-like the program may make the computer behave." Not sure how that pertains to what's going on here, but there might be something there. Jax's flashback... we cut from a neighborhood at night to backwoods roads at night... Was Jax abducted? And the childish nature of his room... That... has some very dark implications.

The implication that Abstraction isn't caused by emotional stress and is instead caused by Caine fucking with peoples heads and being unable to put them back to normal is uh... so fucking dark.

Let's do this already. I'm so pissed at Caine right now! He's at The Bottom of my list😡 1:58, Zooble: "don't be a nark, find your own hiding spot😑." Morgan: "🤣🤣🤣, Don't Be A Nark! 🤣🤣🤣" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 10:07, "Not needing to commit to one thing all the time." I love that message. I go by she/they nowadays, and most of my style is pretty androgynous, but sometimes I like switching between full on feminine and masculine. Also, Zooble is my 3 favorite of these characters😁 14:31. Umm, Jax has Tripophobia. But this place is littered (Idk if I spelled that correctly) with it. But he seems to be at... peace🤨 16:19. WOAH😨!!! Look at his eyes!! He was about to... freaking abstract😱 16:50. Why does Jax's room look like a kids room? I have questions for Glitch, or anyone who can answer 25:39, "They gave us 5 minutes of a beach episode, then they're like okay👏🏼, Lore time! Wrap it up!" 😂😂😂. That's so true!!! 28:12-28:23. This bit right here... We all know 29:44, "I don't trust that that's Abel." I doubt that this is The Abel, but what do I know🤷🏽‍♀️ 33:05, "I thought the key was supposed to be in his office. Why is it in his mouth?" Because they need the key to Get In to his office! 49:47, "Everything we are🤝" Your honor, I ship them😍 52:02, "I wouldn't be good in these kinds of situations cause I'm so fucking paranoid!" Yeah, my heart would be beating really fast, and my mind would just be going a 1000 miles an hour!! I would be like "Is this real or is it a trick?!" 😂😂😂 55:45-56:22. Jax loosing it😶😰 56:23-56:43. Jax was speaking on My behalf here!! Caine, you absolute peace of FUCKING SHIT!! THAT WASN'T FUN!! OR COOL😡!!!!! 56:44, "Oh, they're becoming aware that he was able to mess with their memories and their minds! *gasp, followed by awkward silence and a sad sigh* God, Caine, if they didn't like you before, they're really not gonna like you after this. Like, what were you thinking, my guy? This- y-you cannot force people to like you and hang out with you!" Spitting facts here, Morgan👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 57:26, "Scrath, the first abstraction." I'm sorry, who? I hope we get the lore behind Scrath😶 57:50. A GIFT BASCKET SOLVES NOTHING!!! We saw this in Hazbin! It didn't work there, it Definitely won't work here!! Caine, none of them likes you anymore!! Up until this episode, the Sun was my least favorite character. Now, Caine is at The Bottom!! This was a dirty move👿!! The only way I WILL Forgive Him, is if he makes an Actual Exit Door, and let them all go!!! 58:12. I'm considering getting that jumbo Jax plush. I wanna hug the poor guy🫂🥺 1:00:20-1:03:50. Yeah. They gave us A Whole-ass buffet of Food for Thought with that episode. There's 2 episodes left. Idk when the finale (episode 9) drops, but I know that the 8th episode comes out March 20th, so mark your calender Morgan. Last edit: So this was a lot. I enjoyed the reaction. I already know I'm gonna re-watch this episode, so many times today, including reactions! Anyways, I'll see you later for The Mighty Nein reaction Morgan. Peace out✌🏼 and I hope you're taking care of yourself🫂. Bye👋🏼

There's a theory that Jax ran over a child with his car. We see a few flashbacks of Jax's life when they're in the console room. Also jax's pink room. What makes it even worse for him is that he's a plush bunny.

Part of your theory made me think that because Jax was about to extract because Caine has been constantly messing with his mind. There’s a possibility that the other people who are extracted we’re going through the exact same thing as Jax because Jax constantly having his mind altered weather about being vegan or loosing his tail and maybe it’s slowly causing them to have a mental crisis of not being able to control themselves and that everything they’re living is a lie with basically no hope of leaving. This also makes me think that Pomni could have possibly abstracted many times due to watching GummieGoo get removed (Like Jax and Kinger losing someone close to them, Trying to find an exit like Kaufmo, or even in the first episode of Pomni almost abstracting by the doors if it wasn’t for Jax tapping her face similar to Pomni snapping Jax out with the doors knocking) I wonder if they are all getting close to abstracting because Caine is constantly wanting to modify them to stay.

Jules Moum

That's a solid theory you got going there🤔🙂‍↕️! Also, it's abstracted not extracted.

Yandere_kou

Autocorrect has done me wrong so many times😭

Basically a (hopefully - fingers crossed) „better" ending to TADC's „insparation"/ basis of story -- I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

To elaborate on The Chinese Room, imagine a sealed room where a non-Chinese speaking person sits surrounded by Chinese-to-English text and grammar dictionaries. They receive paper with Chinese characters written on it, and in turn they look them up in the dictionary and write the English translation and send it back. From the outside perspective they speak perfect Chinese, but in reality the person has no knowledge of what those Chinese symbols mean, they're just following some rules written in a book. It's a famous AI thought experiment that concludes that any AI that follows programmatic rules can never truly be judged to be self-aware. To apply that to TADC, no matter how personable or responsive Abel (or Cain) appear, you can never be really sure they aren't just a computer program mindlessly following a script rather than a thinking being who understands what you're going through. Several times we've seen the characters try and open up to Cain, only for a misplaced sentence or behavioural quirk to make them realise Cain hasn't understood a thing they've said and that connection they were forming turns to ash and leaves them feeling more alone than ever. It's also a very funny visual gag.

Analisis of a scene -> existential dread for our characters -> „its also a very funny visual gag".

Waaaaaaaaaaat, Morgan's never seen The Matrix, one of the greatest and most influential action films of all time?

TehPancakeMaster

First Zach lost the hell-mortgage on his hell-house while gambling in Hazbin and now he loses all his life savings in Digital Circus. He just can’t catch a break!

Meghan Ross

According to goose works, there’s two more episodes. The next one doesn’t happen until March though. But why do I have a feeling that everyone’s gonna lose their shit next episode?

Venus Raye🦉

Seeing Zach Hadel AND Sir Pelos as the fish made cackle 😂

Another thing to note kinger was in that bright light and he remembered the first abstraction

Faroth

So adding or modifiying data on them is what starts the process of abstracting, yes, their metal health also triggers that but without modifications it nevers happens, and i think kinger have moderator protections so caine cant modify his data so thats why he never abstract The mental instability is a symptom of caine messing their data that goes and grows into abstraction the worse their mind gets
