I watched episodes very sporadically on Liquid Television and am considering getting the DVD but don't know (or remember) if there was a series finale or an episode where the plotline was sufficiently wrapped up. Yay or nay?
sharemay have been a 2-part episode that dealt with tying the plotlines with Aeon fashion but remembering what could be the secong partone of'em having a strong feeling of closure..
shareThe Pilot episode was really the only one that had any kind of resolution, meaning it had a plot you could followed/figure out for the most part. In general the series didn't really have a linear flow, a few episodes mentioned small things from other episodes (like the C section) but you wouldn't be able to put them all together without episodes contradicting others. Each epidsode has a uniqure story, some easier to understand than others and are always fun to watch.

There was really no plotline to "wrap up"as the series had no continuity. Heck, there series is pretty much "anti-continuity".
shareYeah, it's true there is no real continuity, especially taking into account the fact that Aeon dies in a couple of episodes; but I would say that going by the order on the disc set the last two episodes (Chronophasia & End Sinister) are meant to give a somewhat finished feeling to the series. The disjointed timeline in the shows is meant to leave us with no point of reference, thereby creating a sense of insecurity throughout. Coupled with this is a complete lack of any continuing plot, which de-stabalizes any typical heroic journey theories. Also, because Aeon cannot be considered a heroine in the traditional sense, interpretation of her actions becomes fragmented, fraught with contradictions (i.e. her love/hate relationship with Trevor or her constant fluctuation between good and bad). This is what the series is all about, leaving no actions that would give us a clear sense of understanding of motivation or heroic sentimentality. Instead we are given a paradoxical protagonist who at every turn makes us rethink our previous understanding of her. I guess the reason I talked about these things was to point out that to give a chronological or thematic resolution would destroy the beauty of the series.
shareor maybe peter chung just made this sh!t up.
you cant give it.cant even buy it. and you just dont get it.

I don't think there was meant to be a resolution or linear ending to the series. Aeon Flux is not linear storytelling by any means. You could watch the episode Ether Drift Theory and just assume that is the end of the series since Aeon is left in a rather nasty predicament at the end. You could watch all of the episodes in any order and get the same thing out of them. The rest of your comment is just extremely ignorant. There are so many themes running through these episodes, it puts a lot of tv shows (and most science fiction) to shame. It's fine if you don't like them, that's your opinion. But if you pay attention and look beneath the surface, this show is very rich and very deep. This series challenges the viewer, not everyone likes that. This series does not insult the audience's intelligence, which is what I love about it.
shareWyntrz, way to use monosyllabic words and still come off looking like an ass.
Just because you didn't get it doesn't make it meaningless. I would have thought this obvious, but... here we are.
And I'm not going to go the obvious route and wish you a horrible death, because that's a ridiculous thing to say, but I do honestly wish you would lose your typing fingers in some sort of industrial accident.

The series ended with Aeon and Trevor getting in a time capsule together for thousands of years where they were alone together......(hahaah)
