Quote:Not right back, there was a timeskip. Also why is there no sacrifice just because she goes back? There was a big sacrifice before then... she had to completely give in on her beliefs and dreams pretty much. I think that matters.
In the end, nothing whatsoever has changed for them. They go right back to being a happy, laughing group of friends as if nothing at all had happened. That's the very definition of a slice-of-life ending.
Quote:It was one of the major pieces of the plot, and I think it was done really well.
It's revealed she had a hand in it, she freaks out, eventually Felicia tells her that it's okay and not her fault because Hopkins just used her. Then it's all forgotten. Noel never once has to face the children who were affected by it or anyone else for that matter. At the end of episode 12 she's just as happy and care-free as the others. Again, as if nothing at all had happened to her.

And that's why the ending fails.
Quote:Seems like a reasonable theory, considering what we know.
It's that's all it'll ever be.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
