If you’re talking about the more recent, serious show, I understand where you’re coming from, but I binged through the series a few years ago during the lockdowns and I feel like they were signposting the weird religious sort of ending the whole way.
Gaius and blondie being angels was weird as fuck, but the whole show had a pretty heavy religious undercurrent. Maybe I’m too used to time travel shenanigan stories, but the whole “it’s all kind of a loop” concept didn’t feel like an out of nowhere ass pull to me like it seemed to for a lot of people.

“…and they have a plan”
No they fucking don’t.
I don’t think the problem with the ending was that it wasn’t signposted, more that it was an almost literal deus ex machina.
