"another Nightmare Strider?" oh lord XD Jon getting *genuinely* offended about "he doesn't seem holy" was a bit scary. Being the antichrist going to your head, is it?
Rurrie
2024-11-15 14:05:34 +0000 UTC"why is there a tape recorder here?" "Oh yeah we just brought the avatar of the world's destruction home with us; don't worry about it" I'm sure this'll go fiiiiiine
Rurrie
2024-11-15 13:21:40 +0000 UTCThis episode is just a treasure trove of funny moments. Ennui brand soda. The Antichrist +1, Georgie going murderous on the tape recorders and the things just reappearing. So much awesome.
Grace 'Gengar' Soria
2024-05-08 01:03:21 +0000 UTCIt doesn't, but the transcripts are slowly being released to older episodes.

2021-03-22 16:40:51 +0000 UTCWhy does it go from 57 to 190
Emma Rosenlund
2021-03-12 14:42:16 +0000 UTCthis was so so lovely!! as lovely as anything during an apocalypse can be, I'm pretty sure.

2021-03-08 10:01:08 +0000 UTCA song for Jon and Martin would be Rain by Benn Platt, so fitting to them.

2021-01-19 21:37:07 +0000 UTCJust listened to 93 again. Yes Admiral the end of the world came and you did just fine.
Daniel Hoskins
2021-01-16 06:56:18 +0000 UTCThere's a few comments up there ^ that explain the Martin & Celia interaction.

2021-01-14 17:44:11 +0000 UTCEnnui brand soda XD
Alexandra DeCarlo
2021-01-14 17:43:47 +0000 UTCI think Martin and Melanie might have been decent enough friends had all of this not happened.
Heather MacKenzie
2021-01-14 17:39:47 +0000 UTCI... love everything about this.
Marie
2021-01-14 08:19:28 +0000 UTCToday was my birthday, and this episode was a kickass gift. What a great episode!! So memorable! Martin and Melanie's heart to heart is just the best.
Rudy Urroz
2021-01-14 07:47:46 +0000 UTCThis is exactly what I needed. And only makes me more worried for what’s to come
Jess Nicolazzo
2021-01-14 07:13:45 +0000 UTCSuch a good opening episode! So glad that nothing bad (relatively) happened to the admiral. The antichrist's plus one is dream trophy spouse status tbh
Anika
2021-01-14 05:29:08 +0000 UTCthis is the only tma episode
Crystal Wang
2021-01-14 01:27:35 +0000 UTCThe banter between Melanie and Martin was amazing! Jon's response to Arun cracked me up. Arun sure is passionate, huh?
Paola Ivanna
2021-01-14 00:45:28 +0000 UTCAaaaah that was so lovely… *clutches heart* I really love how everyone is able to bring their own thoughts and perspective to the table, how it was quite clear that everyone is trying to cope in their own ways? Also, I didn’t know until now that I really needed that [REPEATED SOUNDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC TAPE RECORDER SMASHING] sound in my life.
Cassidy
2021-01-13 22:35:04 +0000 UTCThat was awesome! I loved Martin and Melanie bonding, but The Admiral! Aaaa!
Sophia Smithers
2021-01-13 22:27:22 +0000 UTCJon is such a b*tch in this episode I love him

Crew of the SS Nordstrom
2021-01-13 21:19:44 +0000 UTCLove this, thank y'all for the consistently rad content. I am cautiously optimistic about the finale and I know no matter what it will make sense, even if it breaks my heart and crushes my soul. But in a fun way
Nan McVicker
2021-01-13 20:15:36 +0000 UTCAhhhhhh! ❤️❤️

2021-01-13 19:52:51 +0000 UTCYay finally it's back !!!! That wait felt like forever but it was so worth it ! This episode was amazinnnggg . The cast list 😍 and the sound quality was so on point this episode. Love the feel of being in the tunnels. Also thank you so much from everyone for letting us know about the Admiral.
Reanna _
2021-01-13 19:48:30 +0000 UTCHelen! Anil! Lowri! I love hearing them on here. Thank you for the update on The Admiral. This was honestly a lovely episode which makes me even more trepidatious for next week.
Gilligan Mungus
2021-01-13 19:48:24 +0000 UTCThree cheers for everyone at Rusty Towers! Your production quality and talent has only grown, and I’m so excited to see the new projects you have planned for after MAG. Thank you for the lovely and unnerving episode
Kit Maclaurin
2021-01-13 19:44:06 +0000 UTCI'll be honest this makes me more scared, and depending on how their followers find out the truth about Jon, whether they'll feel that his ability to destroy other avatars and monsters is redeeming enough to not treat his presence as a threat or betrayal. Also Martin seemed confused by Celia and I'm thinking he recognized her, it might just be that I recognize Lowri's voice but that interaction seemed odd? Also poor Georgie seeing her sweet little Admiral become a creature of the hunt, though I suppose it makes sense, while pets have always been safe from death or mutilation Jonny has made it clear in the past that they can be conduits of the fears (monster pig & agape) but still. I'm very scared and excited for next weeks episode.

2021-01-13 19:12:49 +0000 UTCAh! *slurps up serotonin through a straw* good episode!! Martin and melanie was a delight to hear, especially with them finally having a formal introduction- so cute! I loved georgie apologising to jon tbh, it felt appropriate. And an update on the admiral!! Glad to hear at least someone is having fun
Owleics
2021-01-13 19:00:45 +0000 UTCYeah, prey animals are kind of already living their own nightmare world. It makes sense that cats would be little avatars of the hunt — I say this as a lover of cats who is sometimes conflicted by their status as obligate carnivores.
James Cunningham
2021-01-13 18:38:02 +0000 UTCEvery conversation in this episode is GOLD. There is just so much going on!
Lurkin
2021-01-13 18:32:17 +0000 UTCJONNY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE ADMIRAL also "i'm the antichrist +1" oh my god this episode is absolutely superb. just chock-full of extremely good character moments.
bramblepaws
2021-01-13 18:06:48 +0000 UTCThe admiral! Honestly not what I expected but like live your life I guess at least he’s not being tortured
Nicole
2021-01-13 18:05:17 +0000 UTCThis episode was so pure and happy and wholesome. This is the most frightening thing you could have done. I Don't Feel Safe
gojo fujoshi
2021-01-13 17:58:21 +0000 UTCSuch a great episode! So happy yet terrified that it's back. I do have to say, I really appreciate the inclusion of the transcripts. I have not been dealing very well some days and seem to be more sensitive to horror in a way that I never have before. Having the option to skim through the content to see if I can manage hearing the episode is comforting to me. It gives me a choice on whether or not my mental well-being is sufficient to listen while removing the anticipation of what is going to happen. I know I'm not the only one who feels like this, but I wanted to thank you.

2021-01-13 17:47:54 +0000 UTC"He doesn't seem holy" gods i love it

2021-01-13 17:32:54 +0000 UTCcan you remind me which episode she showed up in previously? I have trouble remembering voices!
Julia Cameron
2021-01-13 17:28:19 +0000 UTCi knew he was going to make the Admiral go all weird!!! geez!!
Carolina Martins
2021-01-13 17:16:21 +0000 UTCof all the things to happen to the admiral. this is definitely the funniest
Griffin Irradiatedsnakes
2021-01-13 17:16:15 +0000 UTCThis was WONDERFUL... Each character felt so human, I love the multiplicity of point of views and feelings. All the performances were so great. So much going on, so many threads to pick up. Georgie vs the tape recorders was an excellent moment in so many ways. And I'm DEAD at Melanie and Martin, started crying from how much I love Melanie, that was SO good, cute but also so sad, so much. What a good character and what good voice acting.
sAZAndorable
2021-01-13 17:06:53 +0000 UTCJon's little "after you" when everyone meets up and is shuffling about is such a tiny little bit but it's so GOOD I'm love him
Romilly
2021-01-13 17:02:40 +0000 UTCThis is absolutely delightful and precisely what I needed to improve my day. Thank you.
Meg Taylor
2021-01-13 16:50:59 +0000 UTCOH I missed this. HELLO TEAM (both real and fictional). Also it’s so good to hear familiar voices in Magnus!!! I didn’t know if they would make it in beyond the trailer!!

elizabeth p.
2021-01-13 16:41:26 +0000 UTCit is SO refreshing to finally see georgie apologise for how she treated jon during s4 i am THRIVING
Akidachi
2021-01-13 16:40:14 +0000 UTCI LOVE that Martin recognises Celia but hasnt said anything yet! Brilliant return to previous characters! I am absolutely unprepared for the final 10 episodes and I can't wait!
MuddyHippy
2021-01-13 16:39:54 +0000 UTCOh great stuff! I've missed this so much. What a great episode, so many excellent moments.
Lurkin
2021-01-13 16:31:58 +0000 UTCthat scene made me so happy like just bonding over the difficulties of dating during the apocalypse
