So this scene is where Seladon and Mayrin have their last real conversation before Mayrin dies and it’s a sad moment of realisation for Seladon.
It’s the sad realisation that no matter how hard she tries, her mother will never see her or recognise her. 
Before this moment, Seladon’s conversations with Mayrin revolve around Seladon begging Mayrin to recognise her, ”I’m here. I’m  always here” and “but you need me, let me stay and help”. All Seladon wanted was for Mayrin to see her and the way she had become everything she was raised to be as a loyal servant of the lords of the crystal. 
And then Mayrin appears to instantly rebuke everything she had taught Seladon. That’s when Seladon realises Mayrin will never see how hard she worked to be everything that was expected of her, Mayrin will literally back down from everything she has believed her entire life before she just sees Seladon as being good enough.
Funnily enough, after this conversation we have Mayrin showing real concern for Seladon for the first time in the series, she demands to know what Aughra does with her daughter when Aughra sends her out of the dreamspace, she tells the Skeksis to get away from her daughter. In her final moments, Mayrin realised just how hurt and lost Seladon was, as well as the fact that Mayrin’s emotional distance meant that Seladon didn’t have a real parental figure to properly guide her, she just relies on her unwavering faith in the lords of crystal because that’s all she really has.
This one brief conversation really highlights that Seladon really is just a lost child begging for guidance and love she will never have.

About two months ago, Barnaby Dixon, the puppetier who made and preformed the unique hand puppets used for the puppet show scene in Age of Resistance episode seven, released these videos on his YouTube channel talking about his experiences with the Dark Crystal and working on the show.
If you love The Dark Crystal and/or have any interest in puppetry, I highly recommend you give these a watch. They’re a genuinely fascinating look into the production of the show as well as the rehearsal process of puppetry.

Attention Dark Crystal fans, I’m selling a copy of “The World Of The Dark Crystal” by Brian Froud. These books are pretty hard to come buy, and can sell for more than $100. Im selling this copy for $50. The cover has some wear, but it’s in overall good condition. DM me for more details! I’ll take Venmo or a PayPal invoice.

Dark Crystal Age of Resistance be like: felt cute, might go from over the top fantasy violence to the camera panning away from a character straight up being beaten to death complete with blood splatter later
