Teaberry
2024-02-19 16:37:43 +0000 UTC...I wonder what the insistence on the welcome food is. It's too on the nose for it to have something in it, right?

2024-02-16 19:18:25 +0000 UTCWouldn’t this be somewhere else’s Celia, though? I mean, there should be two Celias, right? Edit.: (TMA SPOILERS) ohhhhh she’s the one who lost her name in the eyepocalypse. But Lynne 1 and Lynne 2 could still be similar enough to choose the same alias, imo. I hope this means more Agnes lore, though!

2024-02-16 19:04:28 +0000 UTCAlice wasn't the worst in this episode!

2024-02-15 17:48:35 +0000 UTCThis one, this one is my favorite of all the episodes so far

2024-02-15 13:13:11 +0000 UTCAve Gaius! I was like Needles sounds familiar and then I saw it was Harry Roebuck!! Happy to see him caught in the Magnus Web (pun intended)
Sydney Linders
2024-02-15 04:25:50 +0000 UTCWhy not both I mean Annabelle Cain said the end goal of the web was apotheosis what if we're getting a mix between the fears like the slaughter and spiral giving us Needles

2024-02-15 03:00:18 +0000 UTCIt didn't even register to me Celia's name and I was just relistening to those episodes last nite

2024-02-15 01:48:49 +0000 UTCTrue, Needles’ actual alignment is currently up for interpretation, as we’ve only had this episode to get a read on him so far. 😊 I went with Slaughter, because he seems mainly interested in inflicting the fear of violence/pain on his victims, rather than warping their bodies in gruesome ways (like the Flesh or Corruption), or aiming for the destruction of things or people that are cherished by others (like the Desolation). Although, I sense there’s also a touch of Hunt in him, as well, I feel like his main alignment is Slaughter. But, that may change as we, hopefully, learn more about him. 😊
Trisidael
2024-02-14 16:49:27 +0000 UTCI'd have to wonder if it's Slaugher. Maybe Flesh in the deformation aspect? And certainly Desolation is an option (damn I hate the Desolation)? Eh, exiting to find out how it goes :)
Artur Król
2024-02-14 16:05:51 +0000 UTCOKAY, now that I’ve relistened what feels like several dozen times, more coherent review: 1) immediately in love with Celia, she’s so precious and good-humored! Lowri’s nailing it. and i can already tell Sam is so excited to have someone new around 🥺 so looking forward to more of their cute banter. this is really bringing back memories of my many years working nights, oof. 2) i find it so interesting how utterly dismissive Gwen is of Celia compared to how she treated Sam when he first started. i think it will be fun to see them one on one later, find out what their dynamic can shape into. 3) wow, Joe Bence’s voice is more familiar than i expected it to be. GREAT debut for speaking part — the exasperation of it all, lmao — and i hope we hear more of him :) if not in this then in other productions! gonna go look him up. 4) i wasn’t scared of needles before this but i may be persuaded. if they STAYED in the guy after their “cuddle” then i guess they come off? does Needles just continuously regrow them like sharks teeth? fascinating… 5) superb sound design (AS ALWAYS) it’s really helping me visualize what everyone’s doing, how they’re moving and interacting with each other. and of course Needles’ sound design was ridiculously fun, I hope it was as fun to create as it was to listen to. And that we get a little more of it someday :3 High hopes, given what Alice said about closure — that sounds like foreshadowing to ME, but then a lot of what she says sounds like foreshadowing just all the time. Accidental prophetess Alice ftw??? 6) I will now be completely unable to stop thinking of Lena as Big Bird, thanks. 7) Alice’s evil little laugh when Sam mentioned steering clear of Colin… your honor, I love her. actually her relationship with Sam got SOOOO much love this episode and I adore it. friendly exes is my most beloved trope. and for the record as a former nights worker she’s so correct about the blackout curtains, UGH. (unfortunately I’m with Sam on the caffeine until you die agenda, never did manage to kick that. Alice is right and I would know. but i will not change😭) This episode has seriously got my hamster wheel brain going all hours, GUH, the week between now and new episode feels SO LONG… kudos guys… TMP is truly a podcast👌👌👌

Aysha U. Farah
2024-02-14 02:53:08 +0000 UTCThought: If this Celia is the same Celia from Georgie and Melanie’s cult, then that means she met Jon and Martin, right? I’m going to be paying extra attention to how she reacts to “Norris” and “Chester’s” voices, when she eventually hears them!
Trisidael
2024-02-14 01:32:47 +0000 UTCThis is INCREDIBLE! Can I request that Eye Injury is added to the TW's please? it took me by surprise! <3
Haze Peers
2024-02-14 00:23:24 +0000 UTCThanks :)
Artur Król
2024-02-14 00:09:30 +0000 UTCNeedles is giving Michael Distortion vibes in the BEST way!!! Obviously more Slaughter aligned than Spiral, but otherwise spot on! I’m more than a little obsessed already!!! 😍 Also, CELIA?!!! Please be the same Celia from the original series! 🤩 (Also, Sam’s crush on her is cute. I’m hoping it doesn’t end miserably for either of them, but knowing this series, that’s a tall ask. 🥲)
Trisidael
2024-02-14 00:01:50 +0000 UTCReally delightful episode! I’m so excited to have Lowri joining us. I’ve been really looking forward to Celia’s story since the casting announcement. (And the implications! Maybe more Helen and Anil???) Loving Celia’s last name; I hope it means you’ll give us some time with her before she goes kayaking. Needles is wonderful, and we got a great introduction here of why Jonny said he’s his favorite to write. Very much resonates with Nikola’s joyful energy while also being very different.
Kate McKiernan
2024-02-13 23:27:24 +0000 UTCNotably, Celia from Archives is also voiced by Lowri, which is part of why people (including myself) are loosing their minds.

2024-02-13 20:33:06 +0000 UTChonestly, it was more shocking to me that it was being pronounced properly and not just as 'chocolate lesbians' like everyone says 😂
Martha
2024-02-13 20:16:42 +0000 UTCikr! the first thing I did when it came out was play everyone a side by side to show how much more creepier it is (they do not listen to Magnus, nor do they care)
Martha
2024-02-13 20:15:46 +0000 UTCshe gave a statement in mag100 and appeared as a minor character in S5. unclear on what the deal is with her, there are some interesting questions surrounding her name, but not going to spoil anything here in case someone has not listened to archives fully.

2024-02-13 19:55:04 +0000 UTCI am LIVING for Needles.
Julia Diem
2024-02-13 19:24:12 +0000 UTCyeah alice is so strongly “coworker that makes this hellhole bearable” to me like i would want to come to work just to hang out with her, unironically
Anthony
2024-02-13 19:18:23 +0000 UTCI'm getting new Nikola Orsinov vibes :) Also, I adore the subtle "needlebox shaken" noise Needles seems to have, lovely touch.
Artur Król
2024-02-13 19:18:02 +0000 UTCAm I reading it right from the comments that Celia is a returning character? If so, where from?
Artur Król
2024-02-13 19:16:39 +0000 UTCI... I wanna be friends with Alice.

Basil
2024-02-13 18:16:08 +0000 UTCah yesss our first villain, needles. it's giving distortion but more violent vibes. Also idk what Alice teasing sam about Alice sure seemed to love bantering with Celia so maybe she's deflecting. XD
Cas D
2024-02-13 17:58:42 +0000 UTCNeedles is so awesome. The only issue I have is the episodes are just too short...
Artur Król
2024-02-13 17:53:14 +0000 UTCSo Celia says "I don’t scare so easy these days.". Does this sound like "after living through the Eyepocalipse, my standards for what scares me are way higher than a vaguely spooky job"? And "Four weirdos in a basement reading scary stories. Dream job." is just what Lynne Hammond saw when she came to give her statement in MAG100, right?

2024-02-13 17:23:25 +0000 UTCMy absolute favorite episode so far. I love Needles and the voice acting is chef’s kiss.
Kaloum Lanier
2024-02-13 17:15:20 +0000 UTCGenuine question: is the spelling error in the transcript of "Choco Liebnitz" intentional or not? If it's the brand i'm thinking of it should be spelled "Leibniz".

2024-02-13 16:43:56 +0000 UTCNeedles is amazing! I hope some of these “statement” givers are recurring characters because I very much want to hear more from them all
