YES! I agree completely.

That's also the reason the first season of JWCC is one of, if not, my favorite (and then, S3). It have something very interesting about how the characters work here.

They don't have much alike, so it's very interesting to watch how their differences conflicts AND open doors for the friendship in next seasons. I love to watch S1 and sometimes, jump to S3 because it shows how fast those kids learned and grow in the Isle. Now they're not a group of strangers, but a family who fights for the safety of one another. Literally one for all and all for one.

One thing I find so beautiful about jwcc is how the characters slowly become more alike one another. At the beginning of the series it feels like there is a big divide between the kids. That being those who are extroverted and louder (sammy, brook, and kenji) and then the quieter ones(Darius, ben, and yaz). But slowly and I mean SLOWLY the characters start to come out of their original archetypes and into this blend of all their traits. Yaz becomes openly caring about her friends, Ben becomes braver, Darius learns how to be confident in himself, Sammy and Kenji allow themselves to express their emotions, and Brooklynn understands how to stay grounded. Camp cretaceous is one of the best pieces in media because of it's ability to morph it's characters like few shows do. Camp cretaceous takes its time and provides a realistic character arc to each of the nublar 6 in a way that feels like no person is left behind.

Anyways can you tell my cc/ct special interest is reimmegering after agatha all along

I remember seeing those two lines only one time when I was a kid. The scene would repeat in my head constantly, even now it does sometimes.

Weird, but bc of that, it is one of the most nostalgic interactions to me

Ian Malcolm: (to Kelly) I’m coming right back. I give you my word.

Kelly: But you never keep your word!

Theory: Brooklynn talked to N5 before leaving

The finale leaves many things implied or even confusing – in a way that makes it seem like something happened, especially between the scenes where Ben warns Brooklynn about the Bumpy's egg in the suitcase and the scene where B leaves. I invite you to rewatch the final scene, so it will be easier to understand what I say:

It is implied that Brooklynn had a conversation with the Nublar 5 off-screen, hidden from the viewer. The implications of the scene:

Ben is the one who talks about Bumpy's egg, so he obviously put himself in front of his friends. In the next scene, we see the position of each of the boys and girls: in front, Ben (who talked about the egg in the case), behind him, Darius and lastly, Kenji, then we have Sammy in ahead of Yasmina. Keep Brooklynn's reaction finding out about the egg in mind, I'll talk about it later.

Although Ben asks for the egg, the one who has it in his hands in the last scenes is Kenji. It's not Ben, who loves Bumpy more than anyone, or Darius, who is Brooklynn's best friend. She decided to give the egg to Kenji, proving that:

A. Maybe she trusts him more than Ben or Darius (understandable, since Pincus didn't do what she asked and D left her with the Allo, but it would be a bit strange for the scene, don't you agree? After all, Ben is Bumpy's dad);

B. There was more to the scene than what is revealed to the viewer. A conversation, probably.

The only one Brooklynn hadn't seen before in the season was Kenji, so she didn't know about the affection he has for the baby in the shell, that is, she had no reason to choose him, again indicating that there was an exchange of words between the characters.

There is two hypothesis about what must happened:

• Before giving the egg to Ben, he (Kenji) interrupted and demanded to receive it in Ben's place. It would be strange, since one way or another they would already have the egg in hands – in very safe hands –, changing only the fact that it would be with Ben Pincus;

• Or better, Brooklynn took advantage of the great opportunity she had to give essential explanations for the third season: Santos would kill them if she noticed any sign of betrayal on B's part, but with only one egg missing and the promise that none of her "ex-friends" would get in the way of the plan, everything would be safer for Santos. B just had to take advantage of the small gap to tell her friends WHAT she was doing, WHERE she was going and WHY she was going there – remember, the others don't know anything about Sayona's plans. Those informations will be essential for the characters!

It makes sense, doesn't it? After all, part of the arc of Kenji's relationship with the others is that "nobody tells me anything". Having him as the center of the scene, being, somehow, the priority of information, implies a development in his arc and a future advancement in the others' as well.

Note, in the beginning, Kon was the last, but in the end he is the one who is the most ahead of his friends. There really was something.

Now, the final detail that is totally related to Brooklynn's reaction to the egg: Throughout the season she never knew that Bumpy would have a baby. Her reaction reveals that she realized she lost a lot. It's exactly what Earnest said: "You're nothing special [...]. You're never happy with the good thing you've got, right in front of you." This reinforces that Brooklynn's story is about enjoying the things she already has, what she loses with her obsession and what she also has to gain from it. She needs to balance a lot of things in order to finally understand, by herself, what the truly wants and needs.

A stupid theory I posted on reddit and thought it would be nice to post here. Tumblr must be more active, so activity ≃ interaction + addiction/correction for the theory.

I should stop thinking too much abt this show

If it turn out to be totally wrong, I hope you guys don't remember my post lol
