About
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 eye
- What happens when somebody calls Taylor’s bluff?
- A brief remembrance of the Victoria-that-was
- Well, doesn’t Regent have to use his power, Taylor?
- Do we trust the Regent Taylor sees? Even after his interlude?
- Moral accommodations for Regent and “conscience accommodations” for Taylor
- This is a classic Animorphs argument
- Lisa is the best at debate and Regent is the worst
- The Undersiders’ rep is definitely going to be a narrative problem
- Victor couldn’t have acquired empathy and compassion with his power by now?
- Victor sucks, but also Othala sucks
- Who would even be making up rumors that Taylor is Jewish anyway????
- Ted concedes
- Lisa’s Potemkin justifications
- The humor in this arc is great
- It’s fun to see someone mostly unaffected by Lisa’s bullshit… and for Lisa to win anyway
- Small observations and predictions
