s01e12 — I'll Be Seeing You

@Kookabara: Galanti put a piece of himself in people. Some of the gifts received as a result could be hidden, but some, like levitation / growth / demonic appearance, could not, and these people in the Victorian era were doomed to at least be outcasts, and at most (and more likely) to death.
And these people did not consent to this, they were not even asked. In fact, their lives were taken away from them and forced to survive. With no hope of ever becoming ordinary. Without hope of understanding Galanti's plan (if there was one in principle).
For such behavior in the trans-Ukrainian West, they are now apologizing and kneeling.
It is completely unclear why the Victorian era was needed, except for the entourage. If you put all these people in our time, well, the masses would be mad, but no one would kill anyone.
The only plausible option is that even then it was necessary to deal with this thing that was climbing out of the wires.
But we may not find out about it.

@hinarien: He didn't put a piece of himself in them. He showed, bulged out, strengthened some of their hidden properties in people. Or he gave a gift that someone dreamed of. This was explicitly stated in the first part.

@hinarien: Um, but the gifts were originally given to those who subconsciously needed them or were suitable for them. We were also shown the stories of some gifted people. Malady was bullied by her husband and she got incredible strength so that she could defend herself. Bidlow loved birds and he got to control them. The girl from the basement, she became a demon, as I understand it, because her father had bullied and kept her locked up before.
I still think Galanti wanted to help, he gave gifts to those who needed help. And the fact that people started killing each other is not his fault, but the people's. That's how a person is made to hate everyone who doesn't look like them. The eternal desire to destroy out of envy, disagreement, etc.

@Dori_Grey: Malady got more than just strength - she got the opportunity to transform pain into strength.
In general, there are both gifted with understandable, logical and "decent" gifts, and generally strange ones. It's just that relatively harmless and "useful" people lived up to the shelter.
The girl from the basement was not tortured by her father. She was the lord's beloved and only daughter from his dead wife, in the first (chronologically) shots she runs out of the house with a smile, and her father smiles back at her. Why would she turn into a monster?
For example, why would a Hindu girl have the gift of turning anything into ice? Why would the lord's daughter, not shown, but mentioned, soar above the ground, enough to be noticed, but not enough to fly far? Why would a doctor's son dream about his father?
It's either very poorly scripted, or Galanti is really not a very positive character.
However, both are possible at the same time.

@hinarien: If the series had been given time, for sure we would have been shown everything. With my daughter, apparently I misunderstood some words, I apologize. It still seems to me that everyone has the ability they need. Dreams, for example, because the child could feel discord in relation to his parents, and subconsciously wanted to understand the reason. You can come up with many versions. It's a pity that the series was closed so quickly

@Dori_Grey: >>> if the series had been given time
Then they would have screwed up even more of everything, and then they would have closed it off in mid-sentence.
