About
Jenny and Ted discuss Tangle 6.3.
Episode Notes:
- There's awkwardness! And sexual tension!
- We anticipate seeing why Taylor will stall on turning in the Undersiders
- The shit that's going down: Kaiser's gang and/or Bakuda?
- This caseworker knows how to wield her power
- Weird that Taylor doesn't connect the dots between Brian's apartment and his ill-gotten gains...
- ...or between Brian's future and her planned betrayal
- Oh hey, an authority figure who doesn't suck!
- Taylor's bad at the appearances game even when she tries
- Taylor actually does a pretty good job at talking on her feet in this chapter -- when she knows what she wants, and doesn't get too much in her head
- Wildbow's attention to detail works in both fight scenes and love scenes! Who knew?
- We're calling it: Brian is definitely interested
- Brian gets caught in the tangle of his two lives
- Why is Taylor such a grandpa about Aisha's outfit?
- Male gaze vs. female envy
- Is Brian up for the Aisha challenge?
- She seems fun, though, we like her
- Nice subversion of superhero secrecy stories
- What if Taylor ends up in a position where she can't betray the Undersiders?
- Does Brian even have any secrets? Because we're hearing a lot that he doesn't and it's making us suspicious
