7.6 - "The Worm Is Turning"

Jenny and Ted discuss Buzz 7.6.

Episode Notes:

• Sophia: uh, wow, disturbing
• Worm ideology
• The real worm was the power we got along the way
• Sophia calls Taylor a coward but turns out Taylor's rubber and she's glue
• Re-hashing Emma theories
• Oops, reverse racism
• Keeping the bullies relevant
• Sudden Danny feelings
• Give Taylor a good boy fight any day
• She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing in wolf’s clothing
• Taylor’s so honest, but Brian wouldn’t lie, right?
• This story doesn't need the will they/won't they narrative engine
• On a reread, Ted can’t accept that it was all in Taylor’s head
• If Brian won’t get in touch with his feelings, we will!
• Responsibility, stereotypes about women, control, and trauma
• Taylor is finally looking up dog psychology and Jenny feels so vindicated
