# Talk:Demon 79

There are two claims in this article that the ending makes it clear Gaap was real and not imagined. I disagree. That is only one interpretation of the ending. My OR is that the show skillfully leaves the question open for the viewer to interpret as they will. There is a cited source on one of the two claims, but even the cited source hedges, saying the ending "appears" to resolve the question in favor of "real". So, I'm going to remove the two claims, which this article has no business asserting. Lavaship (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for raising this, Lavaship. I agree that this is only one interpretation, but believe it is still worth mentioning. From the source, as you allude to: However, the conclusion of the episode appears to make things certain once and for all, that Gaap truly is a demon and, without Nida's help, the apocalypse is nigh. This is bad writing by the author, using the confused phrase "appears to make things certain". Nonetheless I think it is reasonable to say that one can interpret the ending as demonstrating Nida's correctness. I've rephrased the part in the body as: the apparently apocalyptic ending could vindicate Nida. I think your rewording in the lead is fair.On the changes to the plot, MOS:TVPLOT gives a 400 word limit that the previous version (discounting actors' names) was only 9 words under. I notice you also changed some British English to American English—take a look at MOS:ENGVAR. If you think there are plot points that cannot currently be understood by readers or information in other sections that doesn't make sense due to plot omissions, let me know and we can see what has to be cut to make room. — Bilorv (talk) 20:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
> the apparently apocalyptic ending
My point wasn't that the show leaves open the question of whether the nukes hit. They do hit; all the characters see it, so there's no need to hedge that with "apparently". What the show leaves open is the question of whether Gaap and Nida's supernatural quest are real, or whether instead Nida is delusional, and the nukes are the conclusion of a mundane series of events, alluded to in the TV show about a military crisis. I'll rephrase accordingly.
> a 400 word limit
Oof. I'll take another look, thanks; there are a couple of proper nouns that don't add to the reader's understanding, like the name of the pub. Lavaship (talk) 18:02, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I see what you mean. I agree with your recent edit but I've made some tweaks. — Bilorv (talk) 22:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
