2024-06-14 00:46:03 +0000 UTCRight?! These alchemists need to leave dogs alone! 😭 At least it was reversible this time.

2024-06-10 08:22:06 +0000 UTCI thought the same thing regarding the sharpness!

2024-06-06 15:22:09 +0000 UTCALSO. Just realised we've gotten 2 mentions now of Diana's Tree. I'm so fucking excited man.

2024-06-06 01:10:00 +0000 UTCin the conversation at the end between Lena and Gwen they mention a security force called Starkwall. That's DEFINITELY the same one that we saw at the end of episode 7's case laying fire to the charity shop

2024-06-05 23:25:35 +0000 UTCHonestly, I was wondering if it had something to do with Lena saying there were both benevolent and malevolent forces -- maybe part of the reason why the Office hires Externals is to keep the balance of those two forces?
Erica
2024-06-05 22:49:38 +0000 UTCAlso, genuinely great to hear your voice, Colin, but you sound like you are going through it! 😬 I 100% understand your paranoia, my guy, but this is not sustainable. You gotta figure out another solution. 😥
Trisidael
2024-06-05 22:35:53 +0000 UTCI’m so excited that we’re finally getting into the alchemy stuff, properly! 😁 It came up a fair bit during the ARG, but apart from the occasional mention of “weird symbols” in a couple of statements, it hasn’t really come up in the series before. So I’m really glad it’s finally here!!! 😄

2024-06-05 19:51:48 +0000 UTCThis episode put me in mind of Neal Stevenson's excellent Quicksilver, which delves deep into the world of the Natural Philosophers. Great episode. 😊

2024-06-05 13:20:05 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this episode and so many of its implications as we slowly see the darkness of the world seeping in. My only complaint/request is wishing there was a way to reduce the sharpness of the S sounds in the audio. Sadly it might just be me because I have sensitive ears but they just come off so loud and spark in comparison to the rest of the audio. Which forces me to have to turn down the volume and strain my ears.

2024-06-05 08:38:02 +0000 UTCNewton excitement distracting from "transference and spiritual substitution of elements" and "not too much mercury... not too much sulfur." The worlds are out of balance with what happened in TMA? Celia might be hopping between worlds (probably not on purpose) and is looking for a way to control it, or at least understand why.
Rebecca F
2024-06-05 05:32:34 +0000 UTCWelp, guess I won't be getting much done this century now as MAGP renews my hyperfixation for alchemy lmaoo Great episode as always! Loved that Colin is also involved in alchemy somehow...
ChyouX
2024-06-05 05:31:45 +0000 UTCoh jesus what the hell. im glad colin is still colin at least. and that i have a week to process all of this, my god isaac newton!!???!?
gasbolina
2024-06-04 23:42:21 +0000 UTCThere's so much in this one... I almost wonder if there's more to the jump between worlds.. like we know TMA had the crack between and all that went along with making it wider but, this universe is doing its own thing with alchemy between realities. If TMA fears did come here were they pulled not by just escaping but more pulled directly to this reality by something to do with what's happening on this side. Things that make you go hmmm

2024-06-04 18:51:51 +0000 UTCNewton's apple + tree of the knowledge of good and evil from Genesis + eldritch horror = mind blown! I love it when they use real historical figures in these statements, this just made me look up Robert Boyle, who's known as the founder of modern chemistry.

2024-06-04 17:39:14 +0000 UTCOhh this episode was positively delicious. I love the historical cases so much, and it was delightful to hear one written by alex! And as always i can never profess my adoration for the soundtrack enough. It's absolutely perfect every time.
Kristsune
2024-06-04 17:38:12 +0000 UTCHate to be the guy who’s always wailing about how perfectly moody and sinister the soundtrack is under the case narration butttttttt here I am again… Absurdly excited to hear from Colin again if only for a moment. I love that he’s a fish guy. I love that Alice knows where he lives? I’ve really been pondering how close they actually were — it’s funny, Alice acts so flippant but I feel like she’s actually the heart and soul of the OIAR office, she really seems to like… want to form connections with everyone (except Gwen. for now..) and is just constantly thwarted by both the soul sucking transient nature of civil service and also the… supernatural sinister side of the job. people constantly leaving her. in my feelings now! i want her and Colin to make up ;_; and WHAT was Colin going on about, I’m going to SHAKE the answers out of him. As someone who has absolutely no alchemical or latin knowledge, I have also never frantically googled so many things in rapid succession. I HAVE SO MANY MORE QUESTIONS NOW, AGHHHH. Tasty tasty tasty… SamCeliaColin conspiracy board when now???? And it was good to hear Gwen back in fighting spirit after last week :) Can’t wait to see what drastic measures she decides to take next. I have my theories… Banger episode! Just in time for the new merch too… Oh, hell, hiatus after next week might just kill me.

2024-06-04 16:45:04 +0000 UTCI was getting worried the dog would get blue veins!
Kate McKiernan
2024-06-04 16:43:01 +0000 UTCSo good, and a great set for the next mid-season break! Excited to hear “balance” dropped again as a key word; feels like that will be a key theme.

2024-06-04 16:42:30 +0000 UTCNot my baby Colin 😭

HeavenlyBibi
2024-06-04 15:52:52 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to see tumblr yassify Isaac Newton. Also love the new take on the “apple falling from the tree > gravity” to “another fruit from an alchemy tree > creating an eldritch horror”
Betty
2024-06-04 15:48:17 +0000 UTCSomething else interesting is Colin's line at the end "No, what I need is to not be seen. He sees too much already. Doing mummy and daddy Stasi proud, I’m sure" I initially took Stasi to be a name, but it is also a nickname for The Ministry of State Security that operated in East Germany. Possibly a reference to Klaus and the German source code in Freddy?
Seal
2024-06-04 15:45:38 +0000 UTCOooh is the hard reset because Sam is changing how he views the OIAR/Magnus Institute? Also, if I had a nickel for every time an Alex J. Newall series featured an infectious gestalt plant that initially seemed to come from a non-living material, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice
Erica
2024-06-04 15:41:14 +0000 UTCHe's alive!!!! :D I'm sure that means he's fine!!!
Emily Bauer
2024-06-04 15:41:03 +0000 UTCSo whatever the Protocol is it dates back to the 1600s long before the Magnus Institute.

Voltz
2024-06-04 15:35:17 +0000 UTCPoor Colin. He figured things out.
James Rule
2024-06-04 15:32:19 +0000 UTC"mummy and daddy stasi" I had to look it up but Stasi is the secret police from East Germany before the Berlin wall fell. Who is "he"? Perhaps another agent of the eye? But one who punishes people for knowing too much?
Emma Grace
2024-06-04 15:31:00 +0000 UTCOoooh. Okay, if the Protocol dates back THAT far, combined with the alchemy theme, then the Magnus we’re dealing with here has GOT to be Albertus.
