About
Jenny and Ted discuss Buzz 7.12.
Episode Notes:
- Not what Jenny expected!
- Taylor's not just demanding the other Undersiders agree with her. She's demanding that they agree with her without stopping to think or talk about it
- “They still seem like they could be good people,” we lied
- Not fight an Endbringer? Have you MET Taylor?
- Do any of the Undersiders really know Taylor, after all?
- The power of labels
- Taylor does better with moral compromises when she has a sense of purpose
- Taylor's headspace here is emotional rather than strategic
- The Undersiders probably feel really betrayed right now
- Okay, but Alec is being heinous
- Taylor might be reading too much into Bitch's response
- The Panacea problem and effective altruism
- Brian could have higher standards for himself
- Taylor's been on a real rollercoaster this arc. Too bad it crashed!
- What if...WIldbow is the endbringer??
- Tattletale tries to justify the term “serious kidnapping”
- Oops Jenny was wrong about the odds
- Why does Lisa show up at the end, and what are they communicating to each other?
- Jenny tries to meta her way into Tattletale's character
- Purpose as a temptation
- Taylor's lack of reflection on how she almost sided with this guy
- Jenny speculates on existential horror
- We can't believe the Undersiders also want to fight
- The Endbringer as an easy out
