Jenny and Ted discuss Tangle 6.4.


Episode Notes:

  • The plan? Jenny loves to (not) see it even though it’s a bad idea
  • Does the narrative demand Taylor lose this one? What if we really want her to win again anyway?
  • Before we do any analysis, Jenny pitches a pun-based strategy: Waiters Undersiders
  • We dig into the villainous nature of “embarrass them”
  • Jenny introduces us to the boss: Bruce Whyne
  • It’s chaos in Brockton Bay, villain-wise, and we can’t quite make out any bigger picture
  • How $1.25M might change the Undersiders
  • So… what would actually happen next if the Undersiders got arrested?
  • Taylor’s identity as a hero comes up against the reality of the tangle
  • The nature of her escapist fantasy has changed from triumphant to penitent
  • She’s honest about the importance of her new friendships, even as she lies to herself about other things
  • Reluctant props to Armsmaster
  • Speculation about Lisa’s deal in this chapter
  • All the heavy stuff aside, the Undersiders are a delight in this chapter
  • Predictions
