God, I was waiting for Infinite Darkness! And here is it finally.

Although in itself, let's be honest, it was more of a four-part movie than a show lol. But I still liked it a lot, unlike a lot of Cleons shippers who I see unhappy with the end of the show for Claire and Leon.

Personally, I especially liked the end for them. Come on, people, a little angst never hurts and for once it only deepens Claire and Leon's relationship, which for me was better than another ending where they just ended up without nothing special between them. I don't see any reason to blame Leon for what he did either. Leon has a certain patriotism that Claire does not have and that is understandable. He was forced to work for the US government and somehow he never managed to break free from it but beyond that he is friends with the Grahams, really friends and he will be friends later with President Adams too. He has this connection with the American government, a loyalty that Claire does not have, who probably come too his personality, since he wanted to be a cop. Claire has never joined any organization linked to the American government unlike Leon, Sherry or even Chris. Claire has always been more rebellious and more independent of the American system, where Leon always hopes to improve it and help things in it. They are different at that level.

I also think Leon trying to protect Claire. Come on, she was against the government in this show and almost got killed. Leon, better than anyone, knows what the government is capable of. By not giving her this chip, he is blocking her way to expose herself more. He looks a little sad how things turned out between them, but also resolved. Was it his right to decide for her? No, but the intention is good, and motivated by affection. In a way, he maybe infantilizes her, as she tells him, he treats her a bit like a child, but it's a protective behavior. Is that totally okay, no it isn't, because she's not a child but he thinks he's doing well for her, he thinks he's protecting her. So I can forgive that, Leon is a bit dumb after all lol. This is how I felt it.

When Claire tells him at the end that she thinks this costume does not suit him, it is also for me a way for her to tell him that he is following a path which risks destroying him and which is not him. I don't know how right or wrong she's on if that's him or not, but she's definitely right about what it does to him, seeing how things turn out later for him. It’s also her way to show that she still care about him, and even understand WHY he did that, even if she’s pissed off against him.

Anyway, I like the show so, and I was waiting since months to edit that song for them. But to be honest, I deeply dislike that edit. It feels like a mess but well, I don't have the energy to edit it more.

Hope you will still like it though!
