EVERY SINGLE THING I NOTED DOWN WHILE RE-WATCHING EPISODE 8, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING
intro
red orb (caine?) gets fed colours red, blue, and green, primary colours.
red orb gets fed too much info and is contained in prison, maybe blue orb (able?) is the newer ai that red orb (caine) corrupted?.
blue orb fed different colours/info, maybe not the primary colours so they don't corrupted it again.
blue orb spits out shapes more smoothly then red orb, maybe smarter?.
pure black absorbs the combined orbs, maybe abandoned project?.
flashback
caine seems more crazed, with crossed eyes and slowly nodding, like he is still learning how to be a good ai.
ep 7 kinger says "scratch...the first abstraction" which kinger knew, maybe the first few 'people' were made by caine as testing grounds (apart from kinger and queenie since they knew each other before).
veins in kingers eyes seem to grow more intense after queenie abstracts.
we see kinger explore the circus alone, maybe the characters caine made as a intro failed and abstracted quickly, which maybe is why kinger and abstracted queenie ended up in the pillow fort.
when ragitha first enters she says "guys hello?" which implies she was either dared or put on the headset as a joke.
ragitha's left button eye darkens after the flashback ends, either having to sew in a new one after an abstraction or it just breaking.
act 1
jax casually mentions the void in the "what if" bit, meaning he has either been there (during his little abstraction tantrum) or by caines tour, id go with the former because we only saw pomni get a tour when she first arrived but not the others in the flashback.
MAYBE the design of each character symbolise which era the entered, kinger was the first so his sprite is bas and normal, which explains the gloves, ragitha has 3D in it (same with zooble) so maybe the 1990s (same with jax), gangle has a more normal 3d look instead of the intense patterns like zooble so maybe the 2010s when she joined (after some of the 3d hype died down), pomni was the latest as has the good character design so most likely 2020s or earlier.
jax visibly freezes up when zooble says "your a pain in the ass but. Your one of us" which maybe reminds him of the frog person (forgot their name), and jax instantly goes back into annoying mode so maybe he is using that insulting layer to hide his real feelings.
caines office scene
bubble goes from "oh caine you worry to much! they won't leave!" to "THEY HATE YOU" on the emotion scale, like they formed an idea in their head to try and takeover.
caines office chair is purple and in the intro we see a red orb absorb a blue orb, which creates the circus.
caine lies, in the pilot caine says "the only thing i dont have control over, are your minds" but caine in THIS episode says "mind files" which maybe means he scans them.
bubble glitches before they go on a hating spree, maybe something took over bubble. (side note: i think caines upper teeth being his eyebrows is a cool detail)
bubbles tone and voice changes at the "you really were the lesser of the two" maybe the real voice of able or something else.
caine says "THEY WONT ABSTRACT THEY WONT LEAVE ME" which means caine KNEW they would abstract and didn't fix it.
caine says "IM THE ORIGINAL" which proves my blue orb being the new ai theory.
after caines office scene
the glitching wall covers jax when the building shakes, maybe jax abstracts? also the wall is coloured blue and red just saying....
caine was going to have them go an a adventure of "the gloomy tomb of \[BLANK\]" before zooble interrupted, who was it going to be?.
when caine is rambling about how much he dose for them he floats between the red and blue sofas.
caines song
when caine snaps his fingers for his musical the lights shut off, but also show every light being exploded in the process as well.
the veins on caines eyes are red and blue.
caine says "No need to scream if you ain't got a mouth!" which references "I have no mouth and I must scream, even if I could no one would hear" like how caine was going to beg for his life before he gets deleted.
caine puts jax in the electrocution chair...no lore relevance's on that, I just wanted to mention it.
the lights around caine when he is holding pomni are red and blue.
caine rips out pomni's brain, maybe he DOSE have control over their minds.
after the song
the adventure lasted several days.
that's all, sorry
cafe scene
when the camera goes to jax's pov, we see ribbits shadow, hallucination.
pomni gets teleported away, to the first teaser of the show to have knifes thrown at, caine has time travel powers.
when pomni gets the idea to put the bucket of darkness on kingers head, the song "Calm Enough to Touch" plays, which is the same one that plays when kinger is talking about his memory with abstracted queenie in the pillow fort back in episode 3.
kinger says "heh...hey pomni" in such a caring dad tone oughhh i love him he is so stupid ughhhhhhh.
jax is weirdly scared at kinger being so smart.
kinger mentions he made caine partly, which means kinger got help from scratch.
when kinger says "either because of pure brilliance or... a tumor in his head" the camera switches to a cut in half muffin, which a small part of it infront of the main opening, the muffin represents the brain itself and the small crumb represents the tumor.
the sprinkles on the muffin are red and blue.
when kinger is talking about how they can conjure ragitha mentions the butterfly from the episode where they get guns, which means for that very brief moment in that episode, kinger was sane.
