I appreciate the format of the video not being a recap

[wavydonjuan]

I like how you said you already watched the episode you don’t need me to tell you 😂 facts lol

[mulaneyfangirl]

You have a remarkable way of explaining the technical parts without being condescending- Dr Steve Bruhle! For your health!

[Q-Dads]

Great Video dude :) Nice to see you also think there is a chance for Jason 1 ( that's what we call him) Daniella and Charlie to leave the box together. I didnt think to look at Quantum convergence though :) great shout :)

I think the last episode is going to be great. It's a shame this is all based on one book, as I would love a season 2 looking at Someone else's journey, maybe Leighton's or even Jason 2's original journeys

amanda and ryan prime will meet in the empathy reality and ryan will be able to recreate the dimension travelling drug based on the samples jason prime gave amanda. then they'll share the drug with the other jasons and i guess the other jason's that spawned because of evil jason's actions will have the chance to be with the other amandas / danielas from the other realities. now, that would be a happy ending for everyone hahaha

If you turn subtitles on they identify the Jasons. Jason prime is the one who meets them at the bean.

[ScriptimusPrime]

I counted 9 unique Jasons' in this episode (Numbers taken from the audio description on Apple TV)
List below:

Jason #1 - Original, protagonist, aka Jason Prime, Jupiter Jason
Jason #2 - Usurper, antagonist, Evil Jason
Jason #6 - Pinkie bandage who buys the knife and spray from the last episode! (Not in this episode)
Jason #7 - Attacks Jason #2 in the allyway
Jason #11 - (Campus Library) Has a burnt face, killed in the restroom
Jason #8 - In the hotel corridor (flees when he sees Jason #1)
Jason #9 - Wears a Christmas Jumper and follows Jason in the street
Jason #10 - Is sat in the booth with a scar on his forehead and a black tie around wedding finger
Jason #12 - Ushers Daniella and Charlie into his car
Jason #13 - Driver who crashes into their car
Episode ends with Original Jason
Jason's #3 to #5 are the ones in previous episodes. Like the Jason who was in bed asleep.

bro, I'm the prime how did you upload this before me

[jammylynneva]

Love your take, as per uje! I lost Jay prime between eps 4 and 5. I did not bother trying to track him after that. Lol. At one point in ep 7, I heard the snap switch sound (to Jason on the burner phone), and that was my signal to stop trying. 🚶‍♂️

The theory I have for the prime doubles is while lavender fairy allows one to view superposition it also could have the side effect of allowing one's thoughts to access superposition unobstructed by the neocortex. We see Jason open one door while his branching thoughts (unseen) open all the other doors at the same time creating doubles in those realities. So Jason2 has also unintentionally perfected human cloning with his box. Had he foreseen this he would have just eliminated Jason prime when he abducted him to rule out this eventuality. The issue now is these doubles originate from the reality the prime mind originates from and they all have the same goal. Jason2 should have done more research with Velocity Labs2 to smoke out potential issues before fully committing on his takeover scheme. He has indirectly helped create these doubles who are all coming for him.

"The world you are looking for is a grain of sand on an infinite beach..." we end up with a Jason prime for each grain of sand. The issue now is some of his double have also reached the target destination with others potentially on the way. Jason prime, Ryan(s) and Jason2 might have to team up to figure out quantum convergence using the box and maybe a modified compound. If they do figure out how to combine the primes, what kind of mental state will this leave Jason prime in when he exits? Seeing Jason prime is the origin mind for his doubles, will they team up and try to eliminate him once they realise their newfound existences are at risk? We have seen Jason2 beginning to crack in the recent episodes. These constant contacts with the primes and the possibility of loosing Daniella and Charlie will push him to further extremes or he might try to make a run for it back to his reality.

The name of the last episode is entanglement. And in quantum mechanics it means that the quantum state of a group of particles in close proximity, is related to each other. If the jasons were generates in the box they are entangled, so we need to see the colapse of the wave function how it will affect the jasons.

[billbaggins]

FYI, Everett's many world's interpretation of quantum mechanics has nothing to do with choices. It is about the different possible outcomes of quantum events. Foundational physics. Choices imply consciousness, which is an emergent phenomena.

To get an appreciation of Everett watch a Sean Carroll lecture promoting his book 'Something Deeply Hidden'.

[harolda]

Forget about Jason, are they now actually in the original world?

[catardeleanu]

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun
And 2nd from Earth
Could numbers 5 or 2 mean anything?

[al]

that could be Daniela 2, she also came from an 'Alt' universe, like from TG: Maverick .... noticed that same leather jacket ?

[scottbailey]

Isn't Evil Jason the actual Prime?
He created and used the box 1st creating all the other variants.
Just because we don't like him, I think he's the real Prime. Evil Jason is Jason1
My 2cents

[phantompatient]

Jupiter Jason is the protagonist so if he is not Jason prime it wont serve the story to highlight it, unless the show ends on that realisation.

[nigellawyer]

Jason at The Bean paused for a second before giving the 'Jupiter' code word. Hmmm.

[Tom_TTT]

50 Shades of Jason😂

Every Jason is the real Jason in their version of the truth and they aren’t wrong. I don’t know how the show or season 1 will get wrapped up.

[nigellawyer]

If there are an 'infinite number of Jason variants' then there could be an infinite number of seasons in this how. Boom. Maybe there are an infinite variations of this show across the Everett worlds Boom again. That would be an epic binge.
