What a boring episode that was... Only decent because of Number One.

I don't subscribe to the theories presented in this thread regarding the timeline, but I'm confident that the story isn't simply going to be following a predetermined trajectory. Nakaba has already been toying with this idea in the form of Cath using Guinevere's prophecies to alter the intended course of events. Guinevere's paralyzing fear of defying fate is also clearly building up to her eventually finding the courage to stop blindly following the path set by her visions and instead choosing her own future, perhaps after she realizes that she may have been able to prevent Ban from dying by Lancelot's hand if only she had spoken up when she had the chance. Furthermore, if the story were simply heading towards the same world the Grail Knights come from then there wouldn't be any tension because we'd already know how things are going to go. It's crucial for something to change.

The story heading towards the future the grail knights come from doesn’t remove the tension because we don’t know anything that lead to that future, all we know is the 4 knights have kids and that’s it. If the grail knights actually knew what happened to the other clans or how this chaos Lancelot situation is gonna end and told us then I would agree with you but the fact that they literally know nothing imo means we’re going to find out in real time what happens and what leads to their future.

It wouldn’t make sense to have their future completely avoided or changed and we never find out what happened in their timeline or what lead to it. They obviously can’t tell us what happened, so the only person that could is maybe Guinevere. If she tells us what happens that leads to their future then I’ll agree that it might be changed but if she still says nothing then I think that implies the story is heading to their future as the end point and it won’t seem as bad as everyone thinks because we’ll have full context on everything that’s going on and not just bits and pieces that make their future sound bad

At this point I wouldn't be too surprised if what the thorn did was just straight up give admin powers to someone. The first thorn seeming enhances shinsoo control, the second controls space. A cool toy to stack with the thryssas.

The thorn generates shinsu similar to how Urek generates his own light imo. So that would mean the Thorn grants its user an Axis's ability.

Sent. It was fun
