Jenny and Ted discuss Colony 15.3. Episode Notes: As far as we can tell, Imp’s power can’t affect readers the same way it affects Taylor Sorry, Taylor, it’s favor time Lisa is reasonable but not fully believable She can fake a grin but not a frown Lisa had Taylor’s number though: she just wanted to be included in the atrocity Honestly maybe “defeat and kidnap Victor” was plan B to “Chosen ceasefire and Coil recruits Victor” until 15.2 made clear to Lisa that it wouldn’t go over well with Aisha and Taylor Lisa is a horrifying and villainous opponent A mortifying ordeal of being known for an…

Amy raped Victoria The vagueness and strangeness somewhat eclipses the awfulness and horror Don’t believe Amy’s lies A mistake so big there have to be consequences The lack of cover-up is striking Amy wanted love but built a sex doll At some point, Amy chose this The way this is written makes it hard to talk about the rape Ted finally starts yelling about Carol Carol abandons Victoria without a second glance “We need to get Grue in here to make…

15.1 - "It's Only Up From Here"
Jenny and Ted discuss Colony 15.1. Episode Notes: The gang's back together! But what about the Unravelers? The problem of Shatterbird and the complication of Alec Optimism might be inaccurate, but pessimism sucks Alec is an oddly good friend The Undersiders have been remade in Taylor's image Actually, Taylor should be even more optimistic than she is A second trigger event for Aisha? The communication difficulty with Bitch goes both ways We're glad Taylor is taking her role in Bitch's life seriously Coil: torturing Bitch deliberately or accidentally? We examine the bitchlings Maybe we should…

14.y - "Cauldron's Pocket"
Jenny and Ted discuss Prey 14.y. Episode Notes: The chapter was dark, but Legend weirdly wasn't Legend had way more illusions about Cauldron than we did Why do the Case 53s get released in the first place? Reasons for stirring the Cauldron Creating a Legend Ah, rationalizations The tragedy of a wasted charge Legend vs. Piggot Taylor was so right about the heroes Gay headcanons There's no es-caping trauma We demand Dragonmaster vs. Cauldron A big thumbs down to Alexandria and Eidolon We see why Legend is legendary Who is motivated to hamper Endbringer preparedness? We ponder condemnation We…
