About

Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.6.


Episode Notes:

  • Oops, Taylor and Jenny both forgot about protecting secret identities
  • Odds are good that Sophia doesn’t know Taylor is Skitter
  • Reviewing what we remember about Sophia’s two identities in light of this knowledge
  • If anyone other than Taylor knew that Shadow Stalker had caused Skitter’s trigger event, wouldn’t it be a huge deal?
  • Taylor’s reason for not joining the Wards is also a very real and relatable existential horror
  • The Protectorate probably have non-threatening reasons to debrief Skitter
  • Amy pulls the rug out from under the heroes here
  • When you push Taylor’s buttons this hard, this is how she responds
  • Unlike Lisa, Amy doesn’t get anything but thrills from these mind games
  • Operation Roach Key
  • Maybe Taylor’s power is SPECIAL
  • What earns you a bigger rating from the PRT?
  • We go back to bug school (and monster school)
  • Whether Amy qualifies as “decent” or not, she’s sure creepy!
  • Amy’s afraid of being bad, which is why she can’t pass up on the ethical hall pass of tormenting Skitter
  • Taylor’s genuine apology is dismissed
  • The legal landscape around Endbringer fights
  • Taylor’s biggest mistake this chapter is main character syndrome
  • Is Taylor right to be paranoid, given the specific heroes she’s worried about?
  • Taylor alone, again
  • Reframing Taylor’s behavior as rational with iffy priors
  • Predictions (and other odds and ends)
