Even Eldritch horrors have to use public transportation 😭😭

2024-09-20 10:58:26 +0000 UTCoooh, so you think the next seasons play in different different universes??
NoyneKehmaya
2024-09-10 12:34:22 +0000 UTCListen: I think everyone dies in next episode. No kidding.
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-09-09 15:08:04 +0000 UTC:0 noooooo
sillygoosehonkhonk
2024-09-07 15:31:02 +0000 UTCI'm figuring it's more like a different version of Michael and Helen creating doors that don't exist. I mean, it was a SPIRAL staircase.
Andi G
2024-09-06 17:11:06 +0000 UTCGenuinely a stunning performance by Billie Hindle, especially the ending
Samantha Jay
2024-09-06 08:31:07 +0000 UTCShouldn't the case's date be 30012021 rather than 30012020? Based on the dates in the transcript.
Lord-LemonHead
2024-09-05 17:35:04 +0000 UTCI call it now: Sam does a die next episode!!
NoyneKehmaya
2024-09-05 16:52:39 +0000 UTCIt's on the train!!
NoyneKehmaya
2024-09-05 16:32:07 +0000 UTCOh God - the key opens anything. Like cracks to another universe? What if the crack in this universe hasn’t fully opened? Like it’s wide enough to slip a few people through, but that’s it? Could it open wider? Oh no.
RedDedZombie
2024-09-05 12:46:46 +0000 UTCPresumably he had to purchase a replacement stick. People are less likely to try to muscle through needing a mobility aid.
Katie Hopkins
2024-09-05 04:56:56 +0000 UTCCan't wait for the archivist to ask Ceclia what she knows about The Magnus Archives :)
Jaime
2024-09-05 03:40:54 +0000 UTCThe archivist uses public transportation because it was either that or the tiny apocalypse rowboat
KitCat3
2024-09-05 00:11:48 +0000 UTCnooooooo I hate when sad things happen to sweet old people 😭 the travel journal is so cute and the trip was so well meaning… why couldn’t they have just had a lovely anniversary… by which I mean, great case! We’re definitely going to see that key someday, the computer “told” Gwen about it without any prompting. Maybe it can unlock JMJ’s prison?

2024-09-04 23:00:41 +0000 UTCSacrificing a beloved one out of self-preservation is such a gut-wrenching, relatable theme. I loved it in Lost Johns' Cave and I love it here. And the fact that they are an old couple makes their situation even more tragic. Excellent job. Like everyone else, I love that the Archivist uses public transportation like a mere mortal. Hopefully, their all-knowing powers allow them to always secure a vacant seat.
Gabi (Tao)
2024-09-04 20:38:40 +0000 UTCWeeeee have a grandmaaaa on the loose With The Skeleton Keyyyy
Ooof_uhhh_haah
2024-09-04 16:18:00 +0000 UTCSurprised the Archivist doesn't take the Red Eye.
Mason Jones
2024-09-04 14:15:19 +0000 UTCArgh! I desperately want to know what Teddy wanted to talk to Alice about. Hope we hear what he wants to say before he is inevitably snuffed :( Also, Alice doesn't even know that Sam has been attacked yet. She is going to lose her s#it when she finds out.
Khes
2024-09-04 11:56:13 +0000 UTCThis was amazing, I'm so hyped for the next one! Also, as always love reading everyones theories here :))
Enya
2024-09-04 07:53:49 +0000 UTCOMG I am so ready for the long finale episode!! CHOO CHOO the archivist’s gonna get youuuuuu!!!
Jacki Dreher
2024-09-03 23:38:59 +0000 UTCOooooooh that's an interesting theory! I was wondering if the key was what let the Archivist out, but I didn't think that they kept it
Erica
2024-09-03 23:00:09 +0000 UTCStan forgot to take his stick to Prague, then later on in Prague he points with it?
Athena
2024-09-03 22:12:02 +0000 UTCAfter this episode, I am EXTREMELY thankful that I now work two hours later on Tuesdays with no one else around - no one to interrupt me with silly questions while I listen to what's sure to be a nailbiter!
Ollie of the Beholder
2024-09-03 21:15:06 +0000 UTCBeen there tho, it’s a really funky place.
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-09-03 20:30:05 +0000 UTCALEJANDRO ME MATASTE CON ESE TESTIMONIO. WHAT a fucking episode (again), CANNOT wait for a train archivist confrontation!!!
MarlaBothBothIsGood
2024-09-03 19:59:36 +0000 UTCIT’S ON THE TRAIN!!! 😭😭😭😭
Nemo
2024-09-03 19:45:17 +0000 UTCGod damn it, another one of ‘Chester’ reading something about lost love and terrible transformation. Those lines about ‘still finding him’, the key to his heart…. Ahdncmdmccm GUYS
Mournful Night
2024-09-03 18:50:53 +0000 UTCI’m waiting for her to be called because it’s an emergency, and she has to ring someone and say ‘it’s time to enact the protocol’
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 18:27:41 +0000 UTCAlso, I am wondering if the next episode title is going to be a terrible pun ‘onboarding’ - a term for a job induction, because I feel that we are all going to be inducted into the world of the magnus institute. All aboard for Season 1 finale!
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 18:23:11 +0000 UTCLena doesn’t give me Jonah vibes, but she’s undoubtedly more involved than she lets on. If she’s aligned with any of the Fears it would probably be the Web, or the Dark, with maybe a touch of Eye for the compulsion ability. It is interesting that she left when she did. We haven’t heard her do that before, so I assume it’s not common practice for her. Is she also going to Oxford, somehow? Or does she have her own machinations? I doubt she’s just leaving early for mundane reasons… 🤔
Trisidael
2024-09-03 18:20:05 +0000 UTCThat sex museum in Prague is a good laugh (also some interesting historical bits)
Mother of Ferrets
2024-09-03 18:19:47 +0000 UTC1) OH NOOOOOO!!!!! 2) I think it's hilarious that the Archivist doesn't have a supernatural means of transport so it literally just takes the train like everyone else 😭😭😭
The Starlight Family
2024-09-03 18:18:20 +0000 UTCTRAIN FIGHT LET'S GO
Kyndra
2024-09-03 18:02:07 +0000 UTCOkay, tinfoil hat time. Hear me out. Why did Lena choose that time to leave? Sure is coincidental that it’s when things are about to go down at Hilltop Road. And she had never seemed to do it before since Gwen sniped about it. Is she… Jonah? Aware of everything happening around her because she’s an Eye avatar? Or is she full of spiders: manipulating situations around her, behind the scenes ?
Audrey R
2024-09-03 18:01:47 +0000 UTCSorry can't stop thinking about how Chester immediately launches into "THERES A LOCK AND A DOOR AND A KEY AND TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES FOR OPENING THEM...DO YOU HEAR WHAT IM SAYING!!"
non-euclidian weasel
2024-09-03 17:49:37 +0000 UTCI had the same thought
non-euclidian weasel
2024-09-03 17:47:44 +0000 UTCCould be completely barking up the wrong tree, but I wonder if Teddy is working for Starkwall?
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 17:38:17 +0000 UTCWHAT IF THEY OPEN THE COMPUTER WHAT THEN!!!!!
esmeeeeeeee
2024-09-03 17:20:52 +0000 UTCoh god
esmeeeeeeee
2024-09-03 17:20:16 +0000 UTCTHE CRACK IN THE WALL AAAUGH
NedTheJellyBean
2024-09-03 17:18:05 +0000 UTCDefinitely a possibility! So that would mean that the Archivist has the key with them, and they’re traveling to Oxford, where the rift is… that can’t lead to good things. 😬
Trisidael
2024-09-03 16:51:05 +0000 UTCI feel like that key was the same key that released the Archivist in the basement, the one that had fallen once Sam knocked into it
HeavenlyBibi
2024-09-03 16:48:13 +0000 UTCHere we mcfreakin go again 😭 time for the Archivist to do their thing ig
Mini Moka
2024-09-03 16:41:09 +0000 UTCOk, glad he's still with us. He's doing what now? Ahhhh!
James Rule
2024-09-03 16:39:49 +0000 UTCI definitely feel like that key is going to be important, especially since Chester started reading that statement unprompted. I feel like he was trying to warn everyone. Hopefully Gwen will pass along that information. I’M CLIMBING THE WALLS! I can’t wait for the season finale next week!!!
Trisidael
2024-09-03 16:30:07 +0000 UTCOh I am so excited.
Ian
2024-09-03 16:24:37 +0000 UTCIs that key the one the Archivist got a hold of in the ruins of the institute? Maybe it'll have some significance if it can open "anything" (maybe like doors between universes)
RogueCalamity
2024-09-03 16:18:08 +0000 UTCShe unlocked a crack in the wall?!
Skyeoak
2024-09-03 16:18:05 +0000 UTCAnd we’re stuck waiting for another week.
Gareth Green
2024-09-03 15:59:14 +0000 UTCHe did respect Alice’s gender.
Gareth Green
2024-09-03 15:56:51 +0000 UTCthat thick book vs. tiny book meme, except the caption is "the magnus protocol vs. the magnus protocol if sam listened to alice and answered her calls"
Sarah Tavana
2024-09-03 15:55:30 +0000 UTCAlice trying to keep everyone from horrible fates meanwhile the Archivist's just chilling on the train like 👁️👅👁️
Erica
2024-09-03 15:54:32 +0000 UTCgenuinely delighted the archivist has to take public transit just like the rest of us
mercury on the moon
2024-09-03 15:48:11 +0000 UTCAt 11:57 and getting Mary Keay’s bookshop vibes
Gareth Green
2024-09-03 15:42:20 +0000 UTCoh my god the cliffhangerreeer
SentientBogOrb
2024-09-03 15:41:57 +0000 UTCThere should be a content warning just for the ticket officer being a prick (I am serious)
Metin Coker
2024-09-03 15:40:01 +0000 UTCDamn, and having just returned from a holiday in Prague too... :D
Artur Król
2024-09-03 15:39:20 +0000 UTCcall me the Archivist because MORE MORE
Lord-LemonHead
2024-09-03 15:39:18 +0000 UTCYeah, he’s committed the cardinal horror sin of failing to communicate vital plot information and being ignored by a main character, methinks Teddy’s headed for the chopping block.
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 15:38:57 +0000 UTCgreat case, i wonder why it played…
mercury on the moon
2024-09-03 15:37:57 +0000 UTC“Unlock your heart” - ehmmmmmmmmmmm
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-09-03 15:36:19 +0000 UTCI'm so goddamn worried about Teddy.......... 😬😬😬
Milena
2024-09-03 15:35:33 +0000 UTCAlso, if The Archivist gets their/her hands on Celia, oh boy…
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 15:29:56 +0000 UTCWhy do I get the feeling that the next episode is going to be twice as long so that Jonny and Alex have time to murder EVERYONE?
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 15:29:12 +0000 UTCOh boy! I’m so glad the Archivist knows how to catch the train!
weedcat
2024-09-03 15:28:12 +0000 UTCThe ending: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN.
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 15:26:31 +0000 UTCHILLTOP ROAD HERE WE GOOOOOOOOO

2024-09-03 15:21:34 +0000 UTCholy shit i forgot it was magnus tuesday aaaaaaaa
SentientBogOrb
2024-09-03 15:14:28 +0000 UTCI'm so scared for this episode
Elijah Gray
2024-09-03 15:04:02 +0000 UTCIs Sam still in one piece? Time to find out…
RedDedZombie
2024-09-03 15:01:09 +0000 UTCWooo hooo
