About
Jenny and Ted discuss Parasite 10.6.
Episode Notes:
- We forgot about Dauntless again RIP :(
- Jenny brings down the hammer on Taylor’s foolishness
- Is Taylor taking the same kind of deal Kayden did?
- Ted tries to shore up Jenny’s secret takedown theory
- The real problem with Taylor’s request is that she’s no threat to Coil
- Why save the world when you can save one girl?
- Maybe this is night eight of Coil trying crazier and crazier schemes to get his hands on this data
- If Jack brings the end, he’s gonna need some Endbringers
- We get another set of story-defining stakes laid out here
- Interpreting Taylor’s apparent foolishness psychologically vs. narratively
- At podcast speed you might drown in narrative tension
- Do we only cut Taylor slack to the extent that she’s narratively dominating?
- Look, at least Regent isn’t controlling Shadow Stalker, Vista, AND Kid Win
- Is it fucked up or does it just look fucked up?
- Would you rather experience one Regent-sized bad day or one hundred Sophia-sized bad days?
- Bad things will certainly happen if Sophia doesn’t just slink away
- Taylor dominates Bitch: heartless or “the heart”?
- Good or bad, this seems pretty easy for Taylor
- The Undersiders have no real opposition left in Brockton Bay
- Shatterbird, uh, controls spiders?
- Violence is sticky
- And a coping mechanism
- Ted defends Rachel’s betrayal
- What Taylor says may be obscured by how she says it
- How do the rest of the Undersiders see Skitter?
- Coil gets his Dr. Claw on
- Predictions for the next two interludes
