    I love the inherent irony of a standard Trigger protagonist trapped in a tragedy instead of a comedy

    One thing I'm surprised you guys didn't mention is the theme of the story that Lucy quotes in one of the earlier episodes: "You aren't remembered for how you lived. You're remembered for how you died." And then the series proceeds have characters we know and love die. But every single one of their deaths (and almost every single death of no-name characters, too) is played and replayed via action shots and whatnot. The only death that isn't shown in the entire show is David's. There's an off-screen gunshot to indicate he died, but that's it.
    We then cut to Lucy on the moon, and the final few seconds are her reminiscing their time in the braindance, and the significance is made clear: he wasn't remembered for how he died; he was remembered for how he lived.

    I think trying to pass off the ending as Lucy. Just being a damsel and distress really diminishes the serious situation she was in. In the back story of Lucy's life, she was a child, basically slave being trained to be a net runner and was the only survivor of an escape attempt, and all of the Tech that she uses throughout the show that was put into her by the corporation that. Then when they got ahold of her again in the last episode They could have done very horrible things to her that guaranteed. She never got away again. And I'm not talking like amputating a leg or drugging her or anything like that in this world. Your mind can be cut off from your brain and imprisoned in the internet. You can have your memory wiped and replaced with fake ones, or even be controlled against your will by hacking your tech. The ONLY way lucy was getting away from them is if someone came for her.

    I really love this show, but I think it could’ve really benefitted from one more episode after the time skip. I really needed a date or some episode that focuses on Lucy and David to show how close they were.
    I also felt like the show was saying a lot about the dangers of living for other people’s happiness through David. He was eventually rich and lived a good life, but it wasn’t Lucy’s dream and so he kept pushing until it killed him. I’ve always interpreted her final scene on the moon as very hollow because he wasn’t there with her. I think that’s the ultimate message of the show, that the people we care about would rather have us than have their dreams.
    David tore his mind to pieces to give Lucy what he thought she wanted. But all she actually wanted was for him to be safe. She says that right after their first kiss. Whether or not that ever would have been possible in a world like that is a pretty bleak question, and I suppose that’s more the angle you guys tackled.

      Yeah. I can't speak for what the game was like at launch, but having just gotten into it a few weeks ago I've really enjoyed it. It isn't perfect, but it's well written and voice acted, and at least in its current state the gameplay is fun too. Though again I can't vouch for whatever it was like at release.

    Davids journey mirrors that of two other characters: Maine, and Adam Smasher.
    All 3 became heavily augmented to be better at the lethal work they were doing and to survive in the world they live in.
    All 3 bristle at the control of the corps but usually wind up doing the corps dirty work.
    All three suffer from psychosis, although I argue that the psychosis has less to do with the chrome itself, and more to do with *what they had to mentally lose to get where they are*
    David's first big loss was his mom, not his spine.
    The second is when he loses Maine.
    Then he shoots an innocent woman, and that unaddressed untreated trauma comes boiling out, and he starts to lose that last bit of himself that his lifestyle and circumstances hadn't already worn away..
    It's only his bonds with Lucy and his friends that let him hold on as long as he does. It's all that separates him from the two men who's lives his path so closely mirrors.

      Not only that but I honestly didn't buy him becoming the new leader either. Earning their respect as a member of the crew, sure. Him becoming leader and following him after Maine died, that never really sold me. I like the show a lot but it felt like there was something missing in that jump.

    (My Opinions)
    My biggest problem with this show is the relationship between Lucy and David. I cared for both characters as individuals but I didn't really care about there relationship.
    The problem with there relationship is it seems to perfect and the show doesn't spend enough time developing there dynamic and instead focuses most of its time on having them help each other out.
    A good relationship shouldn't be defind by 1 or both parties helping each other out through difficult times. In other words the manic pixie dream girl/boy.
    The only part I liked about there relationship is how David died but managed to help her get to the moon. If your going to have manic pixie dream girl/boy storyline it should end in tragedy.
    Also Lucy despite her good traits feels too much like a wish fulfillment character that a guy watching the show would want to be with, so having her getting into a relationship with the protagonist feels more like it was done for the male viewers then somthing the characters would do.
