Five’s first steps in the journey towards acceptance is so fascinating.

He began needing to save his family. He realized he also needed to save the world. Five learned that time must be set right. He must learn how to manage oblivion. He should retire.

And yet, I think it's this moment when he shares with his siblings what future him says: "Don't save the world."

Don't save the world.

Stop.

Don't do a thing.

Stop.

This man has been going for decades. And now he must be the antithesis of his survival/coping strategy. Five doesn't need to save the world. He doesn't have to do anything.

If Five isn't saving his family, trudging through time, solving quandaries wrapped in theoretical conundrums, then who is he? What the hell has he been doing all of these years?

In this moment, as Five (who asks “you know what we’ve done?”), Luther and Sloan are giving me meme vibes. It’s in reverse but I know y’all know the ones.

Sometimes, I think we don't deserve Five.

YA'LL! If Five, so calmly states that "we failed", it's over. And, the siblings know the importance of this statement. Listening to them argue against this finality shows how much they look to Five to keep them going.

Fussing in Korean and Spanish. I need more of this. They're both number twos trying to take the lead.

Allison: So, how is it that we're still here, but the whole universe is going down the cosmic shitter?

Gurl, I dunno? Good question...

The hell is going on in this damn tunnel?!

RH and this damn hotel. Having many-a military specialists come to get "'em all dead" is such a RH thing to do. Just talk to someone, Reg. It would do a world/timeline of good.

And thus, it is 1918, in a field where this fool scopes out and ruins all of time. Great...

Viktor talking about I'll never be a villain.

Five is like...Yeah, okay. Sure. But, how 'bout you stop doing whatever you do because you go boom boom. Play around, I'll kill you.

Five! FIVE!

You continue to prove your pragmatic care/protectiveness which makes you a favorite of mine.

"You know what they call a superhero who works alone and doesn't listen to anybody? A villian."

Daaaaammmnnnnnnnn

I never thought I would say this and fully mean it: Viktor, get with being a superhero or go the eff away!

You don't get to have your cake and eat it too! I see that he's experiencing grief. I'm trying to learn how to manage my own. But to say that "I don't accept that," well...

You have a sibling who is telling you from his EXTENSIVE knowledge and experience that the price of being powerful can be suffocating. You will step on "ants" and you're over here like "naw, player". Oof. OOF!

RH wasn't correct in holding you back, Viktor; and you better get it together. There is no good or evil. There is just what it is in that moment.

Five: Don't do the math. That equation does not exist. [...] People like us will never save enough lives to make up for the ones that we take.

Damn. I didn't remember this season become more aware of itself. Five is becoming more aware of his actions and his family.
