Very final scene..

I am also confused. This was a good mini series but it left me feeling a bit pissed off with Bryan getting killed and Romeo being just I don't know...why did he carve the replica tattoo into his own chest? He is he devouring the dragon or??I just kind of feel a bit down in general after watching all of it.

Maybe she is finally 'real' but she refuses to give this piece of knowledge to the director guy because he has taken so much already and this is the one part of her she wants to keep? It is a bad guess on my part.

Too bad we won't get a second season. I love watching the dancing. I am very limited with my mild cerebral palsy in the regards that I could never move so beautifully but watching them dance is just something else.

Also a lot of the storylines like with Sergi and stuff would have been good for a season 2.

Me too! I enjoyed the dance sequences the most. They're all so talented - Sarah Hay is a wonderful ballerina.

I agree that Claire will never share her story with the director, but I felt that the last scene showed when she finally got "her voice". For 8 episodes, I was waiting for her to protect, express & assert herself in a healthy manner. I lost count at how many times I said to myself, this woman never says "no" & she needs to say it, particularly at her brother. Even if it was aimed at the director & not her brother, finally she said it.

The ballet isn't about dancing. The sex isn't about sex. The incest isn't about incest. These are all metaphors. Romeo, Paul, Sergio, her brother, her father, etc... They're metaphors. Don't try to apply psychology 101 to this story. Read Greek tragedy.

This is the story about a woman's battle for her very soul and how many soul suckers will try to sabotage her actually becoming all of who she is. Even up to the very end when Paul wants to know 'everything she felt out there'.

"No." was the very last step she takes in triumph into her own soul.

So perfect. They made her character so flat emotionally because of her mental health state, and it wasn't until the last episode where you saw her lash out and let her feelings fly. In the apartment with her brother and the last scene, you see her lose control. You see her actually standing up for herself and it's captivating. Those scenes made the rest of the season come together in regards to the way she portrayed the character. I loved it.

She finally asserted herself instead of letting people push her over. I almost cheered when she said "no". I was expecting her to say "real" but this was so so much better! Total prima.

It's such an awesome line, even though I could see it coming a mile away. And Ben Daniels was so satanic in that scene. He should really play the Devil in something.

This was Claire finally asserting herself. As someone else said, there's all these people who want a piece of her. Finally we've got Paul who no longer dances and has to live vicariously through the young dancers he oversees. She's just performed this big beautiful number which Paul thinks is all about him and his triumph and she comes back stage and he's all over her and wants to get that high of feeling what she's feeling. And she tells him "no", this is hers. He can't have it.

Unless Alpert's covered in bacon grease, I don't think Hugo can track anything.

It's Claire coming into her own (becoming a woman) at last. That whole ballet was like a transformation for her. It goes through all the stages of life up to womanhood-liberation FREEDOM. She went through that whole dance without her brother or her rotten life attached to her. She is free to be strong and self sufficient.

When she says "No" to the director, it is a different Claire now. She is tough as nails and won't take crap from anyone anymore. (She even eats the glass that someone put into her shoe earlier). She won't let anyone else inside her unless SHE allows it. She meets all challenges like a stone woman. The sad scared expression she always had throughout the series is totally gone at the end. She fearless.
