Comments

Well this I was not expecting!

Milan Nigam

say it again!

ttroutlaw

I don’t know if they look at these comments too much but 179 isn’t marked as Explicit in iTunes and it isn’t a lot of cussing but there is at least one instance, of course I don’t know the qualifications for explicit marking but thought I’d make a comment

Ginger

Seemed pretty accurate to her character tbh. Her entire thing has always been about putting aside her emotions. It would have been powerful to have her break down but would it be accurate? She already confronted her emotions last episode

Chekhov

Not gonna lie, I thought Basira was going to be the one to go.

Issendai

Just my theory, but I think subconsciously, he didn't want to hear Daisy sneaking up on him. He even says that he felt it was right for Daisy to hurt him one last time. As for Basira sneaking up on him, I think the statements are his weakness. That's why Martin is there, to protect him in sorts during these times. Martin has slapped him twice to snap him out of statements so I wasn't surprised that Basira was able to sneak up and listen. This, I fear, is also going to come back to bite (The Archivist) us eventually.

Heather MacKenzie

In a world full of monsters, it worries me that Martin is still the most human. Even Basira is giving in.

Heather MacKenzie

I love basira, she’s one of my top 3 faves, but i feel like her reactions in this episode were handled extremely poorly. Jon seemed more upset about what happened than basira did, i can’t really understand why. did she just not care or is she just bad at expressing emotions ?

Matteo

Yes. I'm very concerned that he was able to be injured and did not heal right away. I feel like there is some foreshadowing there. Back in S4, he couldn't even cut off his finger without it repairing itself in seconds. I know he told Martin when they were in the 1st Desolation that there could be hurt but it would resolve after leaving, but I really thought he was only talking about Martin! The fact he seems surprised doesn't sit well.

LainyJP

wnshfp...

The Leo!

Is anyone else concerned about Jon's powers hearing this? He didn't notice Basira arriving, didn't notice her leaving and didn't realise she could hurt him until she did, and he was actually properly hurt by her. I don't know, it might just be that he was emotionally distracted and overwhelmed by all the Everything, but it seems from previous stuff that it takes active effort to hold stuff BACK rather than the other way around... I am Concern

Man when daisy asked basira to join her icoludnytjfialf844jchbkam,,. Tifk"rjw

I literally just want an ASMR podcast from Alex. 🥺 SO BAD.

Jacquelyn Graef

I've always found Basira's character incredibly interesting - her reasoning her way out of the unknowing is one of my favourite scenes. You can always practically hear her mind work... Loved this episode, especially Daisy's voice and the sound effects of carnage. You can really visualise the monstrosity she's become.

Lurkin

Wow, so powerful. And worth the wait, the sound was astonishing! Godspeed Basira.

LainyJP

Amazing episode. This season is continuously kicking my ass, I was very stressed about what Basira would do. Thanks for working so hard on getting out the best quality content every week!

Catherine Hills

when the statement ends 8 minutes into a 22 minute episode you know its time to buckle in

james evelyn

probably desolation/hunt! i would lean towards hunt though bc it’s pack loyalty plus the fear of being hunted so i feel like that covers the fears in the statement pretty well

Samantha Banaszak

Jon's a better man than me, i have no sympathy for daisy

Abigail Espinoza

🌼🌻

EmZeez

the only episode that has affected me as badly as this one is the one where Jon pulls Daisy out the buried. so that should tell you how im feeling right now. I knew it was going to end like this, and i feel a quiet sort of relief knowing that its finally over. its sorta like grieving for her because her self was already essentially dead, even if her body was still walking around. sigh. this was a sad one guys, thank you for the emotions.

Paola Ivanna

"Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about anything right now." Ouch, Jon, that hurt. Too close to home. Also gotta wonder how that affected Martin. Amazing episode as ever, y'all. Sad Basira is making her own way back to the Tower, but I get it.

romi רוֹמִי

Hey! I'm crying!

Mitzy Czemierys

Was lying in bed listening to this and found myself gripping my pillow way too hard more than a few times so good job on that tension. Thankyou for fabric rustles as always :D

Laura Bailey

Ohhhhh god, was Daisy only able to hurt Jon because he subconsciously expected her to??? MY FEELINGS......... in seriousness I love that despite all of Jon's inescapable trauma and fear of Daisy, he still loved her at the end of things, and he had no desire to see her hurting. He wanted to see her get better, he wanted it even knowing it was impossible, that. Fucking. Hurts. But it's very true to life so thx again for the soothing trauma ily guys :')

Anthony

I am. Beholding It 👁👄👁

Jester

A wonderful send-off :')

sAZAndorable

Ah ha ha! You almost got me that time! Tears welled up, but they did not fall, so it doesn't count! Excellent episode! A new benchmark on the long journey of forcing me to feel things again.

Noell S.

Well. God DAMN.

MuddyHippy

I listened to this and then listened to Spotify to calm me down, which proceeded to play Work Song and Howl in immediate succession so in short, I'm now dead

Maddie

lmao I feel you Martin, I too am a dumbass who has both gasped and screamed preemptively

Bruna G

Oh boy. Well that was definitely worth the delay! I was genuinely worried Basira was going to join Daisy. I can definitely understand her wanting to be alone right now. And man I love Martin. And I second that I'm glad we had a nice martin bandaging Jon's wounds moment and him expressing grief. All in all just yeah. That was an episode.

Killian

I'm terrified of listening :)

Idris

omg. you know those rings with audio waveforms engraved on them? martin and jon should get a matching set. they can wear each other's squeaky toy soundwave

martin kachow blackwood

The Archivist: *squeaky toy noise*

Aydenburd

ok can i just say, thank you for softening things a bit with that Martin Tenderly Bandages Jon's Wounds Hurt/Comfort ASMR. that was exactly what we all needed, and i love how it gave jon a moment to talk through some grief, which is really lovely and complex and real in coexistence with everything he expressed in the last ep. LOVE how we're lettin everything just Be, man. but yeah uhhhh wow!! the way the statement involved a deep morally ambiguous but heartwarming bond that really seemed to parallel daisy and basira's relationship... and then the reveal that we were hearing about daisy's VICTIM... that was some TASTY cruel irony. deeply sad of course, but hot diggity dog, such satisfying storytelling!! Sadisfying

martin kachow blackwood

uh oh o boy

Mantha Grant

Hmmm, I'm assuming this episode's entity was the Desolation?

Moonwatcher13

jokes aside: jaw dropped more than a few times. it was amazing, definitely worth the wait!!

Hellichk

Update: oh my god. I was not ready.

Victoria Lapteva

I KNEW IT AS SOON AS I SAW THE TITLE 😭 Another great episode! ❤

Sinclair Cross

oh basira....

Jennyclart

i am very much crying right now

Turbo Emily

I love Martin so much. He had the 1 braincell right now

Ari

Brilliantly written! I was actually a bit nervous for Basira there (seemed like they may be going out together)

Medilia

God damn that was a hell of an episode! Each and every person who worked on that episode did spectacular! I swear my jaw is still on the floor. Seriously you all deserve high praise for all of it

Paige Owens

Oooooooohhhhhhh boy 😅💔🥺 This was such a good episode. Thank you!!!

Ellie Fogleman

Wow! That was worth the wait. One of the most powerful and well written statements yet and I love the nuance of the character interactions in this one. And the sound effects were soooo good! Just all the layering of different sound. Jon's complex interactions with Basira and Daisy were brilliantly done. Just an all around amazing episode that packed so much in without ever feeling rushed. Thanks guys!

ThirdFromTheLeft

This episode reminded me just how much I love martin, that boy can fit so much murderous intent and also compassion and love in him! Thank you for your hard work on getting the episode out! <3
