2024-11-15 17:34:36 +0000 UTCSo glad to hear more about the real Elias!

2021-02-05 19:38:41 +0000 UTCMe: listening TMA: Here's your two greatest fears all in one 20 minute episode. Me: Terrified but compelled to listen.

2021-02-05 17:07:50 +0000 UTCI forgot the term "rest in peace", so I thought "may you finally die" was an adequate substitute LMAO
Eben Taylor
2021-02-05 02:54:48 +0000 UTCI've wanted an Elias(not Jonah) statement ever since I realized that they weren't the same person. The only downside is that we didn't get to hear Ben voice acting as old/original Elias, and since I've been binging Stellar Firma, I KNOW he has the range to do it well. This was absolutely incredible. The tradgedy of it all... I've grown very attached to this man who has been dead for over 20 years, but I hope he's hotboxing it up in heaven. May you finally die.
Eben Taylor
2021-02-05 02:53:24 +0000 UTCExcellent episode! The eye Leitner was horrifying, and loved hearing Elias lore. The sound design was fantastic
Alexandra DeCarlo
2021-02-04 18:20:44 +0000 UTCPoor Allan, I think an M. R. James story happened to him. N.B. I say this as a compliment to Jonny's writing and acknowledgement of the homage I imagine is being paid.

2021-02-04 14:31:12 +0000 UTCHuh, that's interesting- I've found this season to be one of the most dynamic and unusual. Still, everyone feels differently, so for sure cancel if you're no longer enjoying it x

2021-02-04 11:58:23 +0000 UTCPhenomenal stuff. Love it, so much to think about after each episode. And such a chilling ending!
Lurkin
2021-02-04 05:24:39 +0000 UTCI couldn't have asked for a better episode. my goodness.. may be one of my absolute favorites. The building sense of dread. So good. I can't believe we still have 7 more episodes
Jack Anderson
2021-02-04 05:15:27 +0000 UTCthe elias lore!!! finally!! and another leitner about the eye too <3 it's so rare to actually hear about artifacts regarding the ceaseless watcher.
jelmarose
2021-02-04 05:02:09 +0000 UTCI feel like I'm going crazy. I've binged seasons 1-4 about 3 times, loving (almost) every episode. But this season just... lost that spark for me? This formula has just been so repetitive and drawn out this season, that I just can't really bring myself to care anymore. I'm actually just going to cancel my subscription after this.

2021-02-03 23:32:59 +0000 UTCAbsolutely brilliant!!! I’ve wanted some solid elias lore for ages but with how much is happening I wasn’t getting my hopes up, but this was everything I could have hoped for and more!! The voice acting? The web foreshadowing and the eye symbolism? Absolutely fantastic

2021-02-03 21:22:11 +0000 UTCOh my such an intense episode. This was so good and Elias’ back story as well.
twigletsaregreattoeat
2021-02-03 21:21:31 +0000 UTCAHHHHHHH!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE!!! That was some quality horror! Lovely to get that after the more relaxing eps in the tunnels etc. The voice acting for Allan's bits was especially heartrending and chilling. the whole "it saw me bit" was great. also the web stuff was very concerning and helped build up the dread. also LOVED getting that Original Elias backstory. Perfectly fitting and horrifying.

2021-02-03 21:21:03 +0000 UTCOh dear god... If possible, the plot thickens even more!! I’m already beyond excited for the next episode! Thank you, RQ!
