Spoilers below forThe OA: Part IIand its ending.
Which, frankly, is the mostOAthingThe OA: Part IIcould possibly have done.
(It also may depend on how strongly you feel about making sense of whats happened.)
We also can apparently count on each season to conclude without fully concluding.
(I know, I know.
That sentence makes me need an Advil, too.)
This is from the final section of Little Gidding, the fourth of EliotsFour Quartets.
Its not surprising thatThe OA: Part IIends by making another new beginning.
What is shocking is that it does so by referencing its own existence as a work of art.
That meta twist seems like an important step on that circular path.
As promised, Karim does indeed find Michelle and reunite her with her grandmother.
We dont even know if hes known as Ian Alexander in this dimension.
I am not sure.
The OA,like that Eliot poem, constantly reinforces the cyclical nature of existence.
Even though there are differences between each of these three dimensions, certain patterns repeat.
Specific people still come in contact with each other, regardless of the dimension.
OA eventually finds Homer and one of them always saves the other.
And every time, no matter the timeline, Hap still tries to maintain control of OA.
The first name that Hap calls her is Prairie.
(The real Isaacs is British, but hes not married to Marling.)
What their faith hasnt done yet is get rid of the kind of evil Hap represents.
Well, heres somethingtrulyinsane.
Evidence against this theory: the fact that it doesnt make a ton of sense?
