Oh my god, the latest episode is fucking BEAUTIFUL. It's full of symbolism of the meta variety. It also revisits the religious undertones I've always noticed in this show. It gave me the feels and made me tear up a little.
I have a funny feeling that episode 9 may well serve as a better series finale than ten. I hope I'm wrong, but I expect 10 to be action packed and full of revelations rather than reflection and emotion and such.
