i think the best part of the silt verses finale is how carpenter chose to keep living, but that doesn't matter, because a soldier decided that she didn't deserve too. and when carpenter gets suddenly, shockingly, shot-dead after the most gut-wrenching and defining moments of her life, it suddenly re-contextualizes the whole show. we know, of course, that the show does not revolve around the protagonists, although we see how much of their conflict ended up kick-starting nationwide events. but here. it really zooms out. that we're not watching a story about the people who won, or are remembered, or made any sort of long-lasting, impactful difference. we are zooming into the life of one statistic, one civilian death, among tens of thousands. it shows. how many people in this universe will never be remembered. never got to tell their story. were erased and forgotten like they had never existed at all. how it happened to the great sister carpenter-- a serial killer, beloved friend, woman feared so greatly within niche outlawed communities-- reduced to nothing but another number. because enemies of the imperial don’t get to choose to live, because the oppressed peoples of the lower class— whose murder by the military are the very things keeping the upper class in power— don’t get to choose to live. because while they shook the capitalistic and imperialistic system of the silt verses slightly, just slightly-- it's still in place, and people like carpenter, are fundamentally hated and shunned by it. and we realize that we’re lucky to have heard her story at all.
