- Quotes
Dream: And you, who call yourselves "collectors". Until now, you have sustained fantasies in which you are the victims. Comforting daydreams in which you are always right. But no more. The dream is over. I have taken it away. For this is my judgement upon you: that you shall know, from this moment on, exactly how craven and selfish and monstrous you are.

Moreover, in regards to these unique "gods", it's this peculiar dynamic which makes the show so interesting, seeing ancient, inhuman entities - which should theoretically be above such trivial, primitive pursuits - operate in tandem with on another on the surface (intended to work in perfect harmony to keep the universe turning) whilst actively seeking to trip their sibling counterparts up in private, creating discord & unrest in a petty squabble through time, devising plans which take centuries to unfold, manipulating the very lives they're meant to serve at the behest of, going against their own creator - risking the entirety of existence - solely to pursue their own selfish ambitions / fulfillment.
This struggle (the maintenance of order at the expense of one's self VS the inevitability of impending chaos, should one deviate from their predestined path) created from such juvenile, petty rivalries is precisely the thing that makes this concept so fascinating & fun to watch as it's unlike anything I've seen before (politics with gods plotting, instead of mortals) & thus, I'm reassured to see in the episode's concluding moments, the foundations are set for further expansion in this direction - instead of focusing on random humans we care very little about... Who are fleeting & expendable, in the grand scheme of things - in comparison to these ageless deities.
All in all, I'd say this debut season has been a story of two halves; the opening 5 installments were utterly incredible, whereas from the 7th onwards, the narrative seemed to lose its sense of purpose. However, I'm really glad to see the writing reassure me (by the end) there's a clear future carved out for new seasons, should the streaming service be wise enough to grant them.
