Wait I thought Agnes's death had something to do with the tree falling? That seemed to be the case in the last episode with Agnes, but now there's no mention of the tree and it's just because of flirting with this guy?

2025-03-14 13:05:29 +0000 UTCHhhh, such an amazing episode again – I love how it reconciles so many different aspects of Agnes that we had seen in 059, 067 and 089, makes everything work so well… and yet, still feels like Agnes didn’t say Everything about her own perspective (or that Eugene was in clear denial about a few bits), possibly? Also loving how the constant conclusion to almost anything that happened in the last 50 years is “GERTRUDE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.” <3 (Mmm, “90% sure” that Gertrude hadn’t paid Jack Barnabas, but what about Jack’s own description of the events, when he suddenly managed to go talk to Agnes after all this time because “seeing her interact with someone else, even in such a weird way, unblocked something in my mind”, when we know he had s p i d e r s in his flat…). I’m so fond of Jon asking Good Questions and the small update on everyone – though sad about Helen, and Worried that this “hey, everyone seems to be getting a bit better” is building towards losing these simple small bits of ““happiness””. Also, the echo with Martin’s own “I need him to be okay” from 117 was just INCREDIBLY RUDE ;;

2019-05-16 14:17:42 +0000 UTCGruesome statement and a first quite funny («Well. 90 % sure.») and then quite heartbreaking Archivist. And WOW that ending! Can't wait for next week.
