The car is still up on stands but the pedal feels soft and wrong now. No pumping or anything seems to be circulating fluid or making a difference.

The reservoir is actually a dual reservoir. The front sends fluid to the rear brakes and the rear sends fluid to the front brakes. You need to keep an eye on both sections of the reservoir while bleeding and make sure you keep them both above the minimum level.
