#strikeback spoilers
I am gonna be a music junkie for a moment and say that the instrumental towards the end of Strike Back sounds incomplete.
What do I mean by this?
In music scales, there is a “home” or complete note that your song should always go back to in order to have the song be “completed”, which is usually the “Do” in the Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do scale. For example, if your song is in C-major, your “home” note you should end your song on is C (or any chord where C is prominent). In a minor scale, it would be “La” (or in the A-minor analogy, it would be A or any chord where A is prominent). If it doesn’t end at the “home” note, then it means the song will feel “incomplete” and if a musician makes that choice, then it might mean that they want to convey suspense or something along those lines.
So what does that have to do with the final scene of the season finale?
Well, the finale did not end on a good note, with all of the Miraculouses in the hands of Gabriel. But, Chat Noir is still there and the people of Paris are cheering them on (though they only chant “Ladybug” like what about Chat?). I don’t know how to describe the final scene, but it seems…somewhat hopeful? They are determined to get the Miraculous back one by one, which sets the stage for season 5.
In other words, there is still more to the story. And the instrumental in the final scene ending on an incomplete note (to me, it sounds like E, which is a half step below F, or the “Ti” in F-major).
This is a sign that we have yet to see the final outcome and it is not over!
Though we all know that already so carry on with your day
