The Amazing Digital Circus: Episode 6

I have to admit, while it looks violent, this is one of the few adventures that looks legitimately fun.

Just a heads up the creator said that there would only be 9 episodes and no extra seasons or anything so supposedly everything wraps up in the next 2 so buckle up!! haha

You mentioned Zooble changing their appearance occasionally. A few of them are based on various toys or other fun stuff. Ragatha is clearly a ragdoll, kingers a chess piece, I think Jax is supposed to be a bunny plushie, and Gangles a bunch of ribbons. Zooble is very similar to an old Mr Potato Head toy, being able to change their body parts whenever they want, but they never finds any parts they really enjoy, perhaps implying they has a sort of body dysmorphia.

I was never bullied neither did I bully anyone but I was in a weird spot, I was kinda nerdy good grades but at the same time was with the cool kids but I wasn't really cool, weird thing but here in Argentina those roles are not like in the US. When I made my comment I was talking about the US, but I was as surprised as you when Jax actually almost repeated my point, I want to make clear I did not watch this show, I had never even heard of it until I started watching it with you. That was crazy when I heard about the theory I had. Jax is so much like Sawyer from LOST I don't know if you watched the show. There's many people like this I believe. They respond this way cause of pain rather than insecurity. It's related with being hurt repeatedly to the point they don't want to feel that again, that means not loving anyone anymore. If you don't feel it, you don't lose it. So interesting. I love this show and your thoughts about it.

Jax finally has a tail in this episode. We see it before he and Pomni come across Zooble in the flower pot. He didn’t have one in the first five episodes. And how is Kinger so good with firearms? I thought the incident with the shotgun and the angel was a fluke, but he knows things like how to safely handle a gun by keeping his finger off of the trigger when not firing it. And during the shoot out with Pomni and Jax, he uses a technique called fanning where he shoots using one hand to pull the trigger while using the other to quickly cock back the hammer. (I had to look up the term.)

I wonder if Jax has noticed his missing tail is back in this episode. Nobody mentions it. 😉

Always funny to see Caine reset over Zooble asking the ability to have sex.

Pay attention to Jax's eyes--the pupils seem to become small squares when he is being honest about his true feelings and wide/dilated when his mask is up, tiny dots in extreme gaslighting and mania. Also, I noticed that at times when the characters are expressing true feelings and seeking connection, the background is bathed in blue (Zooble&Gangle opening up blue castle, Ragatha and Kinger in loser corner bathed in blue, Pomni on right side of screen is blue background and Jax is red). Pomni even has one red gloved hand and one blue gloved hand, which I think could mean she has the potential to lean towards hope and connection (blue) or nihilism (red) depending on her future choices. The potential exists is all of us depending on the perspective we choose to take.

Watching this show along with you again made me notice Jax said people who abstract are not pleasant to be around -- makes you think how much he makes people mad, and that (quite authentic by the way) panic attack in the final moments of this episode? Could he be the next one to go?

I love this episode! It is my second favorite episode. It is very funny, emotional, and you really get to learn about Jax in this one. I also love "Daisy Bell"! Jax and Pomni sound so good singing in harmony with each other.

I was bullied too growing up, in Northern Indiana, I was mainly called gay slurs and things going along those lines. I identified as straight at the time and am not so sure now. It angers me that people pick on others just for what they perceive as different. Also Caine glitching out after Zooble says “I want the ability to have sex” is hilarious.

"Daisy Bell" was the first song ever sung by computer speech synthesis by the IBM 7090. It's also the song Hal 9000 sings as it's deactivated in "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Hey Tim, I found this interesting fan song that someone made where Jax and Pomni switch personalities. It is for some reason way better than it needs to be. https://youtu.be/DH5h--w_9ZA?si=yf9g5m5si8uld3o9 It is called “A Little Bit Bad”
