I wonder what they used for the statement: Spaghetti? Beefsteak tomato? Jello? Some kind of unholy combination of all three? I dunno, but the foley sure made me nauseous 👍 great work team!!!
Vega
2025-03-25 22:55:37 +0000 UTCIt seems like this one is MOSTLY normal, and we didn’t hear details before,
Gareth Green
2025-03-25 15:09:46 +0000 UTCWait, so did Sam never meet Celia's babysitter? I thought he would recognize Georgie...
Gremlyn
2025-03-24 18:52:17 +0000 UTCMe, listening to this episode, remembering Alex's tweet about his horror not being moist enough... I GET IT NOW MR. SIMS, PLEASE 😭
MarigoldMyth
2025-03-24 16:24:16 +0000 UTCI think GEORGIE thinks the current Archivist is Jon, but she doesn’t realize all the details.
Gareth Green
2025-03-21 06:03:07 +0000 UTC“Our Magnus Institute burned down in the late 90s.” “Lucky you.”
Gareth Green
2025-03-21 06:01:43 +0000 UTCThere was no indication that TMA London went COMPLETELY back to normal. It was still in chaos.
Gareth Green
2025-03-21 05:55:56 +0000 UTCI thought it was obvious.
Gareth Green
2025-03-21 05:52:50 +0000 UTCIt’s MOSTLY normal, with…scars.
Gareth Green
2025-03-21 05:52:35 +0000 UTCThe Archivist here, voiced by Beth Eyre, is NOT Jon. It was locked in the basement since the 90s, long before the events of Archives.

2025-03-20 22:56:52 +0000 UTCWhat a chilling statement!! Also, I'm so hoping Melanie will stop by. In either universe.
Kath
2025-03-20 17:21:36 +0000 UTCI flinched when I heard the tape recorder noises. Perfect.
James Rule
2025-03-20 16:38:59 +0000 UTCSo it's not telling me per se, but I have reasons to wonder: 1. In the OG universe, the story ends with the people rebuilding at the Magnus Institute, which was effectively ground-zero, and Georgie says 'some places never went back to normal'. 2. in the OG timeline, the change happens in 2018 (6 years ago not 5) and lasts 6 months ishhhhh. But points 1 and 2 could be ret-conning. 3. Someone coming from another dimension would surely be at the forefront of Georgie's mind, if she was part of the OG plan. She literally sent fears through the portal and knows that's where John and Martin went. Counterpoints - she knows the Magnus Institute, she knows the archivist, and she knows tape recorders. But here's another rub: no one in the new universe has mentioned the name Jonathan Sims. And the archivist DIED in this universe. maybe the OG universe? Maybe they thought Sims died? OR, this is a universe with a brand new archivist. What if it was Martin? What if it was Tim? (I'm getting excited just wondering about it!)

2025-03-20 12:24:56 +0000 UTCFelt to me most like Slaughter, or a facet of it. The fear of your own capacity for violence.

2025-03-20 09:55:09 +0000 UTCHe’s baaaaaaaack
C
2025-03-19 16:40:51 +0000 UTCthe impression i got is that London returned to normal-ish at first and this lingering effect slowly manifested later. Georgie seems pretty aware of the events of TMA
C
2025-03-19 16:39:39 +0000 UTCOooo! I hadn’t even considered that! 😯
Trisidael
2025-03-19 14:06:55 +0000 UTCTMA's London returned to normal and this one didn't
Milena
2025-03-19 12:47:17 +0000 UTCI'm guessing it's a yet another world, because TMA's London returned to normal, like we heard in the last scene of MAG 200, and this one didn't!
Milena
2025-03-19 12:45:24 +0000 UTCWhat tells you that it's not OG world from Magnus archives?

2025-03-19 10:27:07 +0000 UTC*chanting* ...all eyes, all eyes, ALL EYES
Laura Korzelecka
2025-03-19 10:21:20 +0000 UTCEVERYTHING with Georgie and Sam this time, and the STATEMENT on this one, the way it evolved...every ep of season 2 so far has had my head in a vice in the best possible way. Absolutely fascinating to be hearing statements of people who were victims AND people with domains of their own...tape recorder noise I missed u
Avari
2025-03-19 02:32:09 +0000 UTCThe Slaughter, or a facet of the Buried maybe, since a lot of the Buried also came down to feeling trapped by circumstances.
Avari
2025-03-19 02:28:21 +0000 UTCnoooo the episode ended too soon!!!!!!!
Ace
2025-03-19 02:20:28 +0000 UTCAAAAHHHHHHHHH I have no words. Holy cow. WE'RE BACK BITCHES!! Aaiiiieeeeee this is *so good*. Also David Ault 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE THIS PODCAST!!!!
mari
2025-03-19 01:53:33 +0000 UTCI'm honestly obsessed with "And so the moment stretched on, dragging the pain of our potential cruelty across our souls with a point sharper than any blade." Such an insane quote, kind of emblematic for the whole series.
Tamika
2025-03-19 00:39:10 +0000 UTCGuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Seb
2025-03-19 00:31:35 +0000 UTCI was thinking Slaughter also but I don't think that is the right fit because its all about the waiting and the eternal second. Maybe the Lonely, the Vast, or even the Spiral. There really isn't any entity that clearly governs the fear of waiting or chronophobia.

2025-03-18 22:32:08 +0000 UTCThat Archivist though, they kindaaaa 😏

2025-03-18 22:08:17 +0000 UTCGeorgie!!!! My beloved!!!!🥰
PossiblyEden
2025-03-18 22:06:44 +0000 UTCthe claw hammer made me SHRIEK with delight, i can’t believe those two. i refuse to believe that they didn’t drop that tidbit on purpose… cheeky.
Anthony
2025-03-18 21:52:57 +0000 UTCso true
Anthony
2025-03-18 21:51:10 +0000 UTCIs it weird that I kind of able to recognise when a statement IS from either Alex or Johnny? Also, Georgie was the audible version of the "I had enough of that Guy" meme from IASIP
MarlaBothBothIsGood
2025-03-18 21:48:24 +0000 UTCI almost missed that we were hearing the taper recorder clicks again and when I realized I just about lost it, it’s so good.

2025-03-18 21:34:43 +0000 UTCThe following is a sincere attempt at expressing my thoughts on this episode: UahHHUzgShsjJhdusuahdjwoajkHfjsidhrndk
Quinn Anderson
2025-03-18 21:22:36 +0000 UTCAHHHHHHHH! I was waiting for this one!
Bruna G
2025-03-18 20:52:22 +0000 UTCFully suspect our Archivist here is ol' RedCanary
Amari Vega
2025-03-18 20:20:07 +0000 UTCGenuinely sat here and tried not to scream in the work place- such a WONDERFUL episode, both in writing and dread. I all was doing the whole episode was swinging from "omg, original TMA!" to "NO MY BOY JON NOT HIM" and back again. Wonderful, DELIGHTFUL job, you guys! ^^

2025-03-18 19:16:24 +0000 UTCCaptain Georgie: What did he look like? Sam: I don't even know the gender of it Georgie: My stupid ex
Heather MacKenzie
2025-03-18 19:14:42 +0000 UTCThis was sooo good!!! I just want to know if this the original timeliness or not. Either way I love Georgie, what an icon!
Luke
2025-03-18 18:41:41 +0000 UTCProps to the sound artists for making me physically gag during that statement Also, if Sam is in TMA world and we’re gonna get statements from its inhabitants, does Alex finally get to do his submarine episode?
Alex
2025-03-18 17:49:13 +0000 UTCBad omens all the way down
Skyeoak
2025-03-18 17:21:48 +0000 UTCI was thinking Slaughter
Erica
2025-03-18 17:11:21 +0000 UTCWell, this one goes straight into the category of "I can handle most horror but this one fucked me up". What domain was the Gardener in? It wasn't the End, was it a more subtle form of the Vast?
Grace 'Gengar' Soria
2025-03-18 17:07:54 +0000 UTCThe genre savviness in this episode was excellent
Erica
2025-03-18 17:06:55 +0000 UTCThis episode just laid me out. It's so damn good, also why is it that both Sam and Colin need hugs. Like I would love if someone wrote some Colin/Sam ship fiction. Anywho, I love that I never know what is going to happen in the next episode. The feelng of wonder, horror, and overwhelming dread is like a delicious fudge cake with tart strawberry filling. Y'all keep making our lives better with your content

2025-03-18 17:01:30 +0000 UTCThere goes Jonny with his clawhammer 🔨
RedDedZombie
2025-03-18 16:57:18 +0000 UTCAll you have to do is start one apocalypse and your ex will hate you forever… (The episode was phenomenal)
Sorvelle
2025-03-18 16:43:54 +0000 UTCA moment of silence for all the watermelons that were sacrificed to make those noises that will haunt me for the rest of the day…
Victoria Lisbon
2025-03-18 16:36:01 +0000 UTCOh…… uh oh O_o also — statement giver in this ep was PHENOMENAL, love that vocal resistance! (and the way Sam’s voice caught on “friends” shattered my heart)
Anthony
2025-03-18 16:34:41 +0000 UTCSPOILERS/THEORISING: So this says to me that this is not the OG world, that this is a new world that got changed by the fears escaping into this and other worlds. But as a consequence, the inhabitants of the world basically learnt everything from the first world (TMA) - which is absolutely hilarious if Georgie learnt her (inter dimensional) ex boyfriend is responsible for her situation!

2025-03-18 16:32:52 +0000 UTCMmm, squishy. Excellent job on the sound effects!
RedDedZombie
2025-03-18 16:30:17 +0000 UTCHaven’t even listened yet, but I saw the category code and immediately went “Oh shit! This is going to be interesting!!!” 👀
Trisidael
2025-03-18 16:24:47 +0000 UTCI am absolutely beside myself. Some small vindication for John, the world could never be fully saved, and now others have been irrevocably marked. The TAPES ARE BACK BABY

2025-03-18 16:21:20 +0000 UTCI’m not going to be normal for the rest of the day.

2025-03-18 16:18:07 +0000 UTCRebecca Ashley as Gardener Beth Eyre as Archivist - the gardener could be an innocent character, but my immediate thought is FIGHT

2025-03-18 16:12:32 +0000 UTCwell isn’t that category code delightful 🥰
