2024-09-20 06:31:00 +0000 UTCHelen being crapped on for being a Tory in every universe made me chuckle out loud. Oh how I missed hearing Imogen's voice.
Nat Szmidt
2024-09-01 17:43:18 +0000 UTCAny thoughts on a Doctor Who crossover where Helen is an evil Tardis?

Aaron Irvin
2024-08-16 19:47:15 +0000 UTCI’m betting they’re Hungers, not Fears.
Gareth Green
2024-08-16 17:06:00 +0000 UTCBoth!! Both?? Both!! Definitely both!!

Connor M. Carnall
2024-08-15 18:53:38 +0000 UTCSam n Celia are melting my heart istg (also baby Jack always catch my feelings and make me cry he's so adorable)
_C4L4M1TY_
2024-08-14 08:30:21 +0000 UTCRIGHT?! Like I imagine it doesn’t happen every night, most likely, but it happens often enough that there’s a very decent chance that she’ll teleport while Sam’s there!
Trisidael
2024-08-14 05:38:35 +0000 UTCyeah he sure was.
bell
2024-08-14 05:09:08 +0000 UTCi haven't listened yet but seeing "Compulsion (tape)" is driving me up the wall. im going insane.
bell
2024-08-14 04:19:25 +0000 UTCAs soon as I heard her I was like, "My dear Imogene, is that you?"
Danneth Sanguis
2024-08-14 02:38:40 +0000 UTCso wait… if sam and celia spend the night together, what, he wakes up to find her gone after she’s transported in her sleep??? and it’s just sam and jack?? and sam is confused and terrified??? AHHH next week come sooner please!!!!!!
Lou
2024-08-14 01:59:55 +0000 UTCYes! Is the creepy laugh from being distorted or from being a Tory?
Space Modulator
2024-08-14 01:58:48 +0000 UTCARCHIVIST!!! TAPES!! JARROD NAME!! "MAGNUSSING"!! AND HELEN WITH THE DISTORTION LAUGH!!! Also A KISS AT THE END???
Zoëjo
2024-08-14 01:25:10 +0000 UTCI love this universe and all the characters in it. Helen is just so pleasantly menacing.
Jayson Bailey
2024-08-14 00:13:11 +0000 UTCthe fact that everyone else is so different from their TMA self and Helen isn’t is a big red flag
Cassie Seyer
2024-08-13 23:36:44 +0000 UTCLooking forward to the animatic of this too.
Page Chase
2024-08-13 23:25:04 +0000 UTCYeah perhaps this world also had fears already, they just act differently
ShinyPenUnlimited
2024-08-13 23:22:16 +0000 UTCThey broke their rule
ShinyPenUnlimited
2024-08-13 23:20:33 +0000 UTCIt is spelled different in the transcript though I’d like for it to be him though
ShinyPenUnlimited
2024-08-13 23:19:40 +0000 UTCAlice was ignoring them in the "if I don't look at the leak in my ceiling, it'll be fine" kind of way, in my opinion. 😆
Andi G
2024-08-13 22:46:51 +0000 UTCHelen, never change.
fromgloriousjupiter
2024-08-13 22:22:52 +0000 UTCI literally froze when I heard Helen laugh then slowly looked over my shoulder at the speaker just in case
Timm Nelson
2024-08-13 22:13:24 +0000 UTCImagine name-dropping the Tory voting spooky door and then immediately just going into a statement instead AND THEN that statement is also jaw dropping. My heart can't take all this earth shattering lore
Quinn Anderson
2024-08-13 22:11:07 +0000 UTCTALKING HANDS THAT'S MY HELEN PRETENDING TO BE KARENESQUE-TORI HELEN!!!! Never trust a story about sports in the Magnusverse if It features a Jared ...AMAZING STATEMENT, again
MarlaBothBothIsGood
2024-08-13 21:35:13 +0000 UTCFreaking. Out.
charliethevalkyrie
2024-08-13 21:26:20 +0000 UTChelen's evil laugh LOLL
Sarah Tavana
2024-08-13 20:35:03 +0000 UTCThank you so much for including the misophonia warning! It helps a lot
Athena
2024-08-13 19:31:56 +0000 UTCcan’t believe they took us from an asexual protag to a sexual protag
Bandana Mancakes
2024-08-13 19:29:46 +0000 UTCit would be funny as f*ck if this archivist wasn’t even TMA jon, just the remnants of whatever archivist was lurking in the TMP institute at the time of the 1999 disaster. TMA jon could really just be stuck in the computer and warning our new protags bc he’s still bound to the institute in some way lol
Bandana Mancakes
2024-08-13 19:26:30 +0000 UTCdon’t forget the fears could have already existed in this universe (and in others or all of them). that was the big moral dilemma in the finale
Bandana Mancakes
2024-08-13 19:22:48 +0000 UTCcan't decide who is being more suspicious Celia or Helen...
blackblackberry
2024-08-13 19:16:28 +0000 UTCIf this Archivist is our Jon I will lose it and not in a good way
Fer is against the homophobic vase
2024-08-13 18:58:17 +0000 UTCI assume Jared Smith was this timeline's version of Jared Hopworth? Fitness coach named Jared, destroying his own body through compulsion? Familiar. If that's the case, then the Archivist has killed Jared twice now. I guess Hopworth's plot role is being filled by ink5oul now, with this whole season being about body dysmorphia and meat and whatnot.
wub kitten
2024-08-13 18:49:28 +0000 UTCThe three worlds (TMA, TMP, and our world) seem to proceed on the same timeline, so it’s the same year in all three. You may recall that Alice said in the first episode that Chester, Norris, and Augustus only started talking about a year or so previously, after the climax of TMA. Ergo, the Fears only landed in the Protocolverse after 2020, and everything before that is the native powers of the Protocolverse, which seem to be Hungers, but have some overlap. I suspect that the Protocol Archivist’s power may be based on on the desire for knowledge, rather than the fear of being watched.
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 18:38:52 +0000 UTCHELEN! HELEN! HELEN! HELEN!
jo
2024-08-13 18:34:12 +0000 UTCThat cackle of hers at the end could've been a red herring... or a warning!
DJ Badillo
2024-08-13 18:23:24 +0000 UTCOoooh, I would love that! I don't know if she necessarily knows who they are, though; she never met them, and we don't know for sure if Melanie ever told her about them.
DJ Badillo
2024-08-13 18:22:29 +0000 UTCThey ARE both associated with the body.
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 18:20:19 +0000 UTCtouche. maybe not malicious but she knows what's she's doing even if it does end out to be for the greater good
Spooknett
2024-08-13 18:06:43 +0000 UTCManipulation isn’t necessarily malicious.
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 18:05:28 +0000 UTCI would really love to see some of those properties that haven't been listed yet please Helen.
Mosey Walker
2024-08-13 18:05:01 +0000 UTCWhen will Celia go after Tim and Sasha?!
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 18:02:48 +0000 UTCAnd Helen appears to be ACTUALLY HELPING! (No, I dont trust it.)
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 18:02:09 +0000 UTCAnyone notice that Alice has officially stopped ignoring the statements?
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 17:59:16 +0000 UTCAlice: What do you have? Celia: A knife! :D Sam: NO!
Erica
2024-08-13 17:44:36 +0000 UTCI genuinely dropped the dishes I was washing during the Archivist-section
Ellie J. B. R.
2024-08-13 17:36:54 +0000 UTCits not you, I was about to cry if we didn't get any Alice this episode!
virgo herzog
2024-08-13 17:30:09 +0000 UTCKISSING!?!?!?!?
virgo herzog
2024-08-13 17:27:30 +0000 UTCThat would be super interesting, if so! Because Jon, seemingly, destroyed her in TMA. So, unless she was really convincing in faking her death or something, she’s probably not the Distortion Helen we knew… but the possibility is not zero. 😉
Trisidael
2024-08-13 17:20:45 +0000 UTCThe Boneturner was named Jared, not Jarrod, so probably not. But, we can keep an eye (or ear) out for further details, just in case. 😊
Trisidael
2024-08-13 17:15:45 +0000 UTCYou mean boneturner Jared Hopworth? The only similarity is that he's a gym teacher, and their first names are pronounced the same. Still possible, I suppose.
NedTheJellyBean
2024-08-13 17:14:53 +0000 UTCIt’s spelled Mr. Jarrod in the transcript, so it’s unlikely, but I suppose there’s always the possibility 😅
Trisidael
2024-08-13 17:12:47 +0000 UTCPossibly, although we don’t yet know exactly when in the Protocol timeline that the Fears came through. It’s very possible it was well before the Institute burned down.
Trisidael
2024-08-13 17:11:35 +0000 UTCreturn of the Queen
Emily Bauer
2024-08-13 17:01:40 +0000 UTCI feel like helen knows more than she's letting on. it's entirely possible that she's from the other universe and just not letting us in on that knowledge...
Ocean
2024-08-13 16:50:12 +0000 UTCIf the Archivist was trapped in THIS universe’s Magnus Institute, it sounds like it PREDATES the Fears coming to this universe.
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 16:38:51 +0000 UTCYep.
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 16:37:04 +0000 UTCheads up, you forgot Billie Hindle in the "featuring in order of" section
Harley Icarus
2024-08-13 16:36:26 +0000 UTCor at least the written credits
Ryn Stone
2024-08-13 16:35:19 +0000 UTCis it just me or is Alice missing off the credits?
Ryn Stone
2024-08-13 16:34:49 +0000 UTCOh that’s right! Straight up forgot about the babysitting scene, thanks!
Emilia Perfetti
2024-08-13 16:26:18 +0000 UTCIs Mr. Jared POSSIBLY the equivalent of Jared Hopworth?
Gareth Green
2024-08-13 16:22:29 +0000 UTCSam and Celia are just magnusing =D
Sonia Melnyk
2024-08-13 16:22:12 +0000 UTCSo Jarrod is definitely the boneturner Jarrod right?
Kim Void.
2024-08-13 16:22:01 +0000 UTCIt was…really something.
Reynard Du Maurier
2024-08-13 16:17:40 +0000 UTCCelia bringing a big ass knife to meet Helen, who tried to eat her when she was distorted, might make her the second most sensible horror protagonist in magnus after Joshua Gillespie freezing the key to the coffin.
Alex Potts
2024-08-13 16:15:16 +0000 UTCMmh, I was wondering about that. Missing a letter there, haha
NedTheJellyBean
2024-08-13 16:12:09 +0000 UTCOmg The Adventure Zone reference in the shoutout;-; Also damn Helen really is a tory lmao Absolutely shrieking at the Archivist name drop. Is this a new one? Or did ".jmj error" escape the servers for a quick snack 👀
NedTheJellyBean
2024-08-13 16:06:38 +0000 UTCOoo, so far Helen is the only one still in her same profession. Why do I feel she knows mere than she's petting on. Also, archivists!!!
Heather MacKenzie
2024-08-13 16:04:11 +0000 UTCI mean, it's not the first episode we have heard Jack. We heard him when Georgie came to babysit. But also, yes she did use him as a way to excuse her disappearances because she couldn't exactly say she gets randomly teleported in her sleep

2024-08-13 15:58:41 +0000 UTCThat. Freaking. Laugh.
Ian
2024-08-13 15:53:51 +0000 UTCGotta admit, I was genuinely questioning whether Celia’s kid was real or just a cover for her random disappearances
Emilia Perfetti
2024-08-13 15:50:57 +0000 UTChearing celia interact with helen after knowing in the other universe helen distortion tried to eat celia, so the fear in her voice upon meeting this universes “normal helen” is so fun. PLUS hearing helen not traumatized by being trapped in the endless hallways of a new door and her sounding and acting exactly like helen distortion did (especially the laugh!!) is insane to me and im obsessed with her all over again
SentientBogOrb
2024-08-13 15:49:51 +0000 UTCSPOILERS: Ooh, so we have people who are nothing like their Archive counterparts and people who are surprisingly similar. What does it all mean?
RedDedZombie
2024-08-13 15:48:21 +0000 UTCSo I'm thinking back to the episode with the ancient Archive in Alexandria.....
Tor Walker
2024-08-13 15:47:10 +0000 UTCTertiary thought, apologies for the back to backs LOL, but the finale is going to be -insane-
Ian
2024-08-13 15:46:54 +0000 UTCI WANT to have faith..... but I know these silly/mean writers well enough by now to never expect happiness to last💔
