That’s a great point; I didn’t put together that his not liking to be stared at is probably an indication of a weakness

I'm not saying my brain works exactly like the woman's in that case but I'm also NOT not saying that
ETA: The static/glitches when people lie is very interesting. Has happened a few other times, but heard it again here with Teddy. LOVE all the little hints RQ are throwing in, great work as always!

Yup yup do you recon it’s the og Jonah? Like I’m guessing his body was kept in the institute when he body snached and cause his current body (90s) has died in the fire, his power when back to his og body?

Ooooh you could be onto something! Something about this def brought up aspects of the fearpocalypse……. interesting

Ohhh shit !!! Archivist monster released from Magnus institute in TMP universe (by Sam and Alice) who has power of pseudo resurrection for answering cause of death / to cause them to relive their death repeatedly…. Something?!
Axis S
2024-06-03 01:55:55 +0000 UTC
She seemed to have genuine fear about being spied on so I thought this was TMP universe version of Georgie?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Axis S
2024-06-03 01:53:25 +0000 UTC
Maybe the original monsters in TMP universe are things/people that are fueled by their own fear and that becomes some warped weird power // or maybe post TMA apocalypse things that felt few the most became powerful
Axis S
2024-06-03 01:50:43 +0000 UTC
ohh, i was thinking she was sleepwalking, not teleporting, but i recall she did mention "weird physics stuff: time travel, other dimensions, teleportation", so it totally could be. i actually checked today, and it looks like the walk from london to oxford would take over a day, so it's most likely either teleportation or she's taking public transport in her sleep (assuming she actually went to oxford)

Favorite episode so far! I love how casually it links back to the fact that Jon successfully saved everyone by featuring Georgie in that tidbit. Poor Georgie was the only character who wasn’t aware of how the spider watches everything. Can’t wait for next week

Bonzo is many things, but he is not unstoppable. He fears being looked at. *racks the slide on my dusty tome labelled CEASELESS WATCHER*. The beast can be killed

Unironically I had first thought it was Alice until it clicked the voice I was hearing was Sam's. Cuz like, while it'd still be uncalled for, but sort of brushing everything off/hiding behind snarky jokes is something I've come to expect from Alice (please get help girl). But I did not at all expect Sam of all people to react to Gwen like that.

Do NOT joke about face-stealing, lord, don't do that, you'll get Strangered!
Also, getting randomly teleported sounds like hell. Wondering with myself if it happens in Celia's sleep? That would make sense to me, as last episode (I think :/) she woke up in the train, and now she was in her pyjamas.
Another option could be, like, someone taking over her body, and that's why she doesn't remember moving around? I'm spitballing, There isn't any substantial evidence to lead to possession. Though I guess all the evidence for *specifically* teleportation come from Celia's account of the experiences, which, for someone who has no memory of moving, would feel like teleportation.
Who knows. No real point for speculating right now, everything is still very early.
Wonderful episode.

Jesus Christ Sam, what the fuck is up with you? Like somethin' has clearly, really been bothering her - legitimately, and when she opens up to you you just laugh her off?? Especially right AFTER you put together there's real horror monsters out there? Mannnn. You owe her a apology big time.

I mean, I'd hate to be in the position of trying to get people to believe me that Big Bird was an unstoppable spectral assassin for the government. She has my sympathy.

AHHHHH okay but in MAG 200 I interpret the line about still needing batteries for the nightlights to mean that Georgie and Melanie are now taking care of the Night Street kids (or their London-area equivalents) until parents/guardians can be tracked down, and now in this universe Georgie is babysitting! For a parent who keeps vanishing for eldritch reasons! It all tracks! *adds pushpins to corkboard*

Meeting Georgie in the same episode as a statement about a corpse speaking? Not a coincidence surely

Alice 🤝 Sam in making jokes at the wrong time, but also I am very normal about someone being asked something to which they have to answer even after dead and then immediately going to lonely house full of fog… 👁🌫

2024-05-28 16:59:27 +0000 UTC
i completely agree but tbf it’s like if someone set all that up and was like “so remember chuck e cheese…” sounds way more like a prank than genuine. hopefully sam will get his hands on a bonzo case somehow, but after this it doesn’t seem like gwen’s likely to show him…

Ok but my Jonathan sims (the character) senses went crazy when they said “there’s a weird murderer who can kill you with your deepest fear and then make your corpse narrate it.” It sounds like Jon is feeding

Okay adding on because I've finished the episode. What the FUCK.
There was so much in this episode! Jonah Magnus voicing, another talking corpse, Gwen actually came out and told them about the 'externals', parallel Georgie....
This was Gertrude and Gerry levels of content, I loved it. My current theory is that these corpses are the TMA versions of people who died in the fearpocalypse transplanting their alternate selves somehow.
