Based in a world of faeries and other creatures, the sky was literally the limit for an unforgettable ending. Unfortunately for “Carnival Row,” the unexpected cancellation meant that many storylines didn’t get the attention they deserved. Though Vignette’s romantic ending with Tourmaline wasn’t exactly predictable, many fans on Reddit were disappointed that the series didn’t give respect to an important fae characteristic.
“[I]t felt odd to me that they introduced the fact that in fae culture [polygamy is] completely accepted and then didn’t have the three of them end up together, it felt like that’s what they were implying was going to happen,” u/The-Homie-Lander argued. The Redditor supported Vignette’s union with Tourmaline but felt that polyamory was an odd red herring. They concluded: “I didn’t mind Tourmaline and [Vignette] ending up together, it just felt like there was no reason Philo and her couldn’t have mended things.” The last episodes also left another relationship up in the air. In Season 2, Tourmaline shares a connection with werewolf Darius (Ariyon Bakare) which is promptly dropped. The answer to this romantic math equation is a love quadrangle and would have been possible if there had been enough time to foster these relationships.
“I feel like there was a lot more they could have done with more seasons to develop it,” u/schliche_kennen reasoned. “I wouldn’t have minded seeing Philo, Vignette, Tourmaline, and Darius all end up together in some arrangement under one roof.”
