warrior nun finale got me fucked up

They just set up the big finale and then stopped right before it! You’d think even if they wanted to go for a cliffhanger, they’d let the battle progress more and stop when everyone had taken some major hits and were on the verge of losing. I thought maybe it was a budget issue but apparently Simon Barry said that when he took the script to Netflix, they were like, how about stopping it a little earlier? So maybe it’s an encouraging sign, where it’s kind of implicitly promising a second season already (unless the show does abysmally, which it doesn’t seem like it’s doing?). 

Unless you meant the whole final reveal, in which case, never trust a fictional angel. 😛

Now I can say that it was a recommendation and a great one! I did love warrior nun. The only thing was the final scene. But love everything. Thank you

Yay! I’m glad you liked it. As a general rule, if you liked it, it was a recommendation, if you didn’t, it was just me talking about a thing I liked, you didn’t have to watch it!. 😛

Heh, that ending. They didn’t even climb to the top of the cliff to have that be a cliffhanger. Hopefully they’ll get another reason and we can see how it turns out!

DA tbh I always thought the halo reacted to Ava being truly afraid for Beatrice, and enjoyed the fact that it was the first time the halo did something to protect someone other than Ava. Yes, I have my shipping goggles on lol So… I really like how that other anon thinks! I didn’t associate Sister Melanie’s story to Ava unconsciously triggering the halo at all, I was too focused on Beatrice, but now I can’t unsee it!

Hmm, I like that interpretation too, because again, it is literally true, it IS the first time the Halo does something for someone else. And only time? Hm.

Well, both those theories work together, either way, it was reacting to Ava’s extreme feelings of fear for and protectiveness toward Beatrice, which, of course, you see a friend about to get shot, you react, it could have been anyone, but that’s the thing, it could have been anyone. Instead, they wrote it as specifically Bea. It’d have made the most sense if it was Mary, Crimson taking her own gun and turning it on her, and they’d just finished bonding in ep 6 and then reuniting in ep 7, but instead it was Bea. Well, intentional or not, for whatever reason the writers felt how well it’d work with Bea and they were right!

I’m really liking the AvaXBeatrice ship and I’m really excited for Warrior nun to get more seasons. So I was re-watching EP08 and I just noticed that in the story of Sister Melanie, something similar happened to Ava in EP07 when Beatrice almost got shot and Ava saved her with a blast from the Halo almost draining her of the Halo’s energy. So I think her feelings for Beatrice will play a huge part in awakening Ava’s true powers in the future :)

Ohhh, that’s true, I saw it as Ava saving a friend, but the way you describe it, that is technically exactly what happened, Ava almost emptying the Halo to save Beatrice, in this fancy slow mo shot. 

Hmmm, hmmmmmm. You’re so right. My original takeaway of the reading in EP08 had been what Bea’s had been, that once you deal with your own personal demons (heh), you’ll get what you need, and in this case, that’ll be to get through the 20 feet of stone. But Bea’s reading was influenced by her own association with Sister Melanie’s journey and the same breakthrough by proxy she had. In terms of what had been described, this wave of energy bursting out suddenly, that’s what happened when Ava saved Bea! Tbh, I don’t know–I don’t think they wrote that intentionally? But it’s certainly a super curious and interesting coincidence and I can’t really be sure… 

Gosh, it would be SUPER interesting if they pursued that in the second season. Most likely they won’t, but I’ll hope.

Sorry to ask, but I saw you talking about Warrior Nun & I kinda need a rec: I have a big phobia of demons (tnx actual nuns) that I’m trying to manage by watching fiction about them (the result isn’t always great). I was thinking of saving WN for this weekend cause it looks cool, I’ll be alone & get the big TV for myself. Do you think it is safe to watch? Maybe during the day? As a reference: Supernatural/Wynonna Earp demons I handle just fine; with exocist movies I don’t sleep for three weeks.

Oh, hmm. I think you should be okay, for the most part this is very close to Supernatural/Wynonna Earp/Buffy in tone. We actually don’t see many demons at all, and almost every time that we do, it’s this big cool Minotaur looking being and it’s only for a short while. 

BUT, there are these other demons that can effectively possess people and while we see that even less, it might be closer to what you don’t like. Unless I’m missing a part, we only get that in ep 6, from minute 38 to 41. It looks in appearance closer to Supernatural but you know, the possessed scary superstrong thing. It’s over pretty quickly and the whole thing’s in daylight, so I don’t know if it’d be that bad, you can skip through it, it’s not particularly relevant. Oh, there’s another part earlier, in the opening couple minutes of ep 4, but you don’t actually see the demon, it’s just a human behaving badly because of the possession and they run off themselves.

Other than that, I think you should be good! I don’t even know if you need to save it for daytime, it’s not really a horror or scary in general, no jump scares or suspense building unbearably. It’s surprisingly character-based.

Ava is really quite and awkward

Sorry, I waited to see if you were going to add more to this, anon, but uh, yeah, she is awkward? Heh. I don’t seem to find her as annoying as so many viewers seemed to so I do feel a bit instinctively defensive of her, but I feel like by the end most people had warmed up to her?
