Everyone talks about elias in this scene but Melanie was honestly a diva for planning to kill her boss then go for a drink w/ some friends 😭

2018-03-21 16:59:28 +0000 UTCYou know ... Elias has got to be Magnus. There's no way he can sound so very bored about people constantly trying to poison him without people trying to do it for a Very Long Time.

2018-03-21 14:15:51 +0000 UTCInterestingly, last week the narrator describes something bothering him "like a piece of grit in the eye" - I'm sure it's a coincidence, but how wonderful would it be for there to be links between Martin and John's parallel statements?

2018-03-21 12:54:22 +0000 UTCMore hints that some players may have been around for quite a long time. (Including Elias?) And a fascinating indication that Melanie may have been travelling in Gertrude’s insubordinate footsteps. What did Gertrude find out and what was she trying to do?

2018-03-21 08:30:14 +0000 UTCI assumed he was talking to the tape recorder - that he went to turn it on but it was already running. Creepy, nosy tape recorders. :)

2018-03-21 05:23:34 +0000 UTCGreat episode all round. But. At 4 minute 50 seconds mark, who did Martin talking to?

2018-03-21 03:57:14 +0000 UTCMartin finally gets one(1) nice thing, meanwhile Melanie is an incredibly nonchalant attempted murderer, and I just love both of them.

2018-03-21 00:52:59 +0000 UTCOmg I must be a terrible person because I found the ending to be hilarious. Elias's put-upon sigh was great. Also I could have sworn that Jon mentioned he hated coffee in one of the statements (Maybe the insomnia one?) But I could be mistaken.

2018-03-21 00:49:27 +0000 UTCIt was great to hear from the others again. Poor Martin, I'm glad Melanie is ready to share the burden a bit. And the ending was absolutely intense. The statement itself was great too, of course!
