<v Speaker 3>so we're not watching ahead or anything. We won't have

11
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:37.119

<v Speaker 3>and David Skoyer and directed by mark Ton Duray. In

15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 3>this episode, Sarah and Don bond over their mutual suspicions

16
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:58.039
<v Speaker 3>regarding the assassination attempts on their families. Rio's and Glewyn

17
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 3>meet informant Duken Bar Swinna learning about the Magicians and

18
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 3>their links to the Foundation before escaping an angry mob,

19
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 3>with Bar poisoning himself to avoid capture. On Terminus, Polly

20
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Constant and Hober meet Harry Selden, who or does the

21
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 3>clerics to seek peace with the Imperium while giving Malow

22
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 3>a secret mission. Meanwhile, Sarah secretly investigates her family's desks

23
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 3>with the help of a palace clavenger. I had to

24
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 3>look up clavager. It's a key bear or custodian.

25
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>Five check. Did we like the episode overall?

26
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:32.239
<v Speaker 3>So would you like it?

27
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Eh? It was all right. Stuff happened and it wasn't

28
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 2>super duper confusing this time, so it was better than

29
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 2>other episodes for sure.

30
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:47.159
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was enjoyable. It was fairly light. Yeah,

31
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>the tone is definitely getting a little lighter in the show.

32
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 3>We're finding a little more balance with that.

33
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 2>And I liked that the action sequences with those guys

34
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.159
<v Speaker 2>on that one planet where they were fighting. That was

35
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>really fun. Something happened.

36
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we got some some fights and some new space travel.

37
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>It's also very like flirty episode.

38
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>I guess, yeah, you're right.

39
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:14.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I enjoyed it. I don't know that it's like

40
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 3>going to be a standout episode or anything. But also,

41
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 3>notably did not have our two main women in it. Yeah,

42
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>that was minus a voiceover.

43
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>I really missed them, and they're unenthusiastic tempistry.

44
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 3>But just going off the screenshot that shows up for

45
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the next episode, it looked like it was going to feature.

46
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Them trivia time, What facts or news could we uncover

47
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 1>for where the stars are scattered?

48
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 3>Finlay trivia? Our director Mark Tanderai, someone who has a

49
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 3>long radio career, but has also directed some horror films

50
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>including Hush House, at the End of the Street and Spell.

51
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:53.639
<v Speaker 3>So when I read that, I wondered if we were

52
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>going to be in for like a horror type episode,

53
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 3>But not so much. It's a pretty bright episode. TV

54
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 3>credits also include Gotham Man doctor who Oh. Then the

55
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 3>book they pick up and open from the do some

56
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 3>bars bookshelf is the streemad bag of a dad Gita,

57
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 3>the Hindu religious scripture written in Sanskrit. That's all the

58
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 3>trivia I had for this, So we can move on.

59
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Deep space dive. Let's break down some of our thoughts

60
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 1>on the episode. You can share your thoughts with us

61
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>through email or social media. We may use your comments

62
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 1>on an upcoming episode.

63
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.199
<v Speaker 3>Where do you want to go first?

64
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember how the episode started.

65
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty sure we started at the palace with the

66
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 3>cloud Queen and the young Emperor, Is that right?

67
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember if it was with the spaceship and

68
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Marshmallow waking up, but either.

69
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 3>That might Yeah, no, that is that is where we started.

70
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:57.599
<v Speaker 3>We started with the.

71
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm coming out of hyperdrive.

72
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was confused. The first note I wrote just

73
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 3>said flirtation and that wasn't specific enough because I was

74
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 3>talking about hober Mallow and what's her name, not Polly,

75
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 3>her name is Constant because she's really into him.

76
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>She really is. She's like thirsty for him. Yeah, in

77
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>a way that's like uncouth.

78
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Even in that first scene, like he said something and

79
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 3>just like did this loud giggle.

80
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, tone it down, girl, but also like respect because

81
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 2>like sometimes, like I hate to do this, women tend

82
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 2>to be very coy and indirect with their flirting and

83
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>dudes don't get it. It goes over their head. The

84
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.759
<v Speaker 2>signals aren't matching up and they think, Oh, she's really

85
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.439
<v Speaker 2>nice and it's not like, oh, she likes me and

86
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>wants my dep which is what the vibe she's giving

87
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 2>off right now is very thirsty.

88
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And at the end of the episode, he's very direct, like, oh,

89
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I thought we were going to go on this trip

90
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 3>together and we were gonna consummate for.

91
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Her words, and I'm sure he was like, oh, Okay,

92
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 2>she went there, but yeah, she's thirsty and the only

93
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>thing that can satisfy her thirst this Marshmallow or herber Murru,

94
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know his name. And then they like they

95
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 2>take his ass to the triangle or whatever it is

96
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 2>the vault and no resistance from him at all until

97
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 2>they finally revealed that the last guy that approached it

98
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>was turned into ash and then he's like what the fuck? Wait? Yeah,

99
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 2>but then he still goes in.

100
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think he didn't feel like he had

101
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:51.279
<v Speaker 3>a choice to get away.

102
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like in the vault it was very basic

103
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>and boring, Like the only part that was kind of

104
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 2>interesting was when finally Celdic showed up. And I feel

105
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>like when they came in after two days of being

106
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>alone and freaked out, the energy from Hobermellow should have

107
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.240
<v Speaker 2>been like way more chaotic, way more desperate. Like if

108
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen two people and I was stuck inside

109
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 2>of it like an eternal abyss, I'd be freaked out.

110
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 2>I'd be like, oh my god, what the fuck where

111
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.160
<v Speaker 2>have you been?

112
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he gets over it really quickly. Yeah, he's.

113
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.639
<v Speaker 2>What did you think about the abyss or the vault?

114
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:37.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I mean I didn't feel too much about the inside.

115
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 3>It felt like a stage or something.

116
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I feel like this Feldar or whatever his

117
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.920
<v Speaker 2>name is, he seems more like evil, right.

118
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's like sinister. Yeah, he's playing like the role

119
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 3>of the god.

120
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's really leaning in.

121
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he's like trying. He's like doing things the

122
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 3>maintain control. That's why he fried that guy.

123
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Creepy, creepy, creepy, creepy, creepy. I didn't like that at all.

124
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I felt like alarm bells should have gone off, but

125
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.759
<v Speaker 2>because the religious people were so religious, they didn't care.

126
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>And then the one skeptic stayed back and got a

127
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>separate mission that he was totally into because he got

128
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 2>called the Blade.

129
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it seems to be just going along with it,

130
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 3>not trying to run away as far as we can tell.

131
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like there's got to be like an

132
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.839
<v Speaker 2>angle here. There's gotta be one because this guy's a

133
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 2>con man, not just because he wants to thrust. I

134
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.439
<v Speaker 2>could not get over that line.

135
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 3>We got thrusting, we've got insertion.

136
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, why was that the most homorotic interaction

137
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>when we literally had two gay men in a scene

138
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>together who were partners, so it's not like, oh, we

139
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know each other, we're going to be respectable weird.

140
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I really wish that there was a kiss before they

141
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.600
<v Speaker 2>went on their little AirPod mission, just a quick like

142
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>good luck, babe peck or something. But I guess they're

143
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>trying to show us how they're a little bit disjointed.

144
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah they are. There's there's a lot of friction there.

145
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

146
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh maybe they just they don't kiss in the workplace.

147
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe that. I really don't. I've seen coworkers

148
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:28.920
<v Speaker 2>hold hands and eat together and be very like canoodlely

149
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>googly googly love. I've seen a lot. Okay, I used

150
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 2>when I worked as a security guard. I even't seen

151
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>them go to the parking lot and bang went out,

152
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 2>so I'd be excited to go to work. I don't know,

153
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>but I thought it was interesting that part of the

154
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 2>lore is that people don't see books often.

155
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so there's we've gotten definitely like pieces of this

156
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 3>idea that they have restricted technology in this universe, and

157
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 3>you would think that would mean like more books. We

158
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 3>saw books on like the library, the Emperor's Library on Tranter,

159
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 3>or Seldon's Library or something. Yeah, And then.

160
00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>But he's like an elite, right, so he has access

161
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 2>and privilege. So it was interesting to see a home library.

162
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 2>And it's kind of sad because the guy died, so

163
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 2>you don't know what's going to happen to those books

164
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>with that Really like ignorant population, no offense. I think

165
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>ignorant people are obviously capable of like learning and subcombing

166
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 2>or nots upcombing to the ignorance, I guess, but persevering

167
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and advancing and all that. But it's hard to believe

168
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 2>that the house was so nice too. Holy shit, I

169
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.679
<v Speaker 2>would love to live in that house. Yeah, it was

170
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 2>so nice with those high ceilings and the adobe white walls,

171
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, and the plants and the books. It

172
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>was like idyllic. And he was a fucking royalist wh

173
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 2>would be sending messages to the Empire even though the

174
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Empire never responded, And like, you like this guy, but

175
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>then you think, is he worth liking for being somebody

176
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 2>who's kind of like a class trader, you know.

177
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I mean, because he it's hard to

178
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 3>get a read on him, like where obviously he has

179
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.279
<v Speaker 3>loyalties to the empire if he's sending him stuff, but

180
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 3>he also seems to acknowledge that like the Empire harmed

181
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.639
<v Speaker 3>their world by leaving coming there and then harmed them

182
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 3>by leaving.

183
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so it's hard to say like where he stands

184
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 2>with the Empire, even though he was like dedicated to

185
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>informing them, so on some level he was aligning himself

186
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 2>with them, and he died with them. So it's just

187
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 2>very interesting. I don't know.

188
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was surprised that they were shocked by books.

189
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was really interesting, and I think that's a

190
00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:57.799
<v Speaker 2>like really good way to kind of understand life in

191
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:02.399
<v Speaker 2>the outreach or life even in this galaxy, in this area.

192
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Because the guy who said he'd never seen a book

193
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 2>is somebody who you know, lived within the higher realm

194
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Empire. He was a military class, respected individual. Yeah,

195
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 2>and you would have guessed that maybe semi educated, but

196
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.799
<v Speaker 2>never seen a book. So it's very interesting and the

197
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.519
<v Speaker 2>book he I love the gesture of giving him the book,

198
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>letting him keep it, even though it's like you'll never

199
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.919
<v Speaker 2>learn how to read this and you'll probably just enjoy

200
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the pretty pictures.

201
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Then also like they had to kill amount for that,

202
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:42.039
<v Speaker 3>so you take as many books as you want for real.

203
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was really cool that they could travel

204
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>in their spacesuits. They didn't need to be in a

205
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>ship or anything. They just like got zooted out. That

206
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 2>was cool. I think the technology here is so interesting.

207
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>On one part, you've never seen a book. On the

208
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.960
<v Speaker 2>other part, you're wearing this highly advanced mechanical suit that

209
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.000
<v Speaker 2>lets you be transported through space. Crazy.

210
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And then they talked about what did they say,

211
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>like some sort of technology was banned centuries ago AI,

212
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.320
<v Speaker 3>something to do with Selden's.

213
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, AI technology like uh least something about artificial intelligence, Yeah.

214
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 3>Something along those lines. And then we also know that

215
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.240
<v Speaker 3>there used to be robots and those for the most

216
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.399
<v Speaker 3>part don't exist anymore.

217
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Like Cloud Queen, I love her and I i'd.

218
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Have her back this time.

219
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I missed her pigments. Yeah that always that like elevates

220
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 2>her look and makes her look so futuristic and like queenly.

221
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.679
<v Speaker 2>But today she's like, no, I'm gonna take it off.

222
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 2>She like really beared it out, like she she explained

223
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.039
<v Speaker 2>it to us like we were fucking stupid, And part

224
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.039
<v Speaker 2>of me was like, why did you do that? Why

225
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.159
<v Speaker 2>did you explain it when we could have just seen it,

226
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 2>but they were like, no, I'm taking off my makeup,

227
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>so he feels like I'm being vulnerable and it's like, girl,

228
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>you're giving away all our secrets.

229
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 3>Don't you think they're listening.

230
00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but apparently they have like technology so that it

231
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 2>muffles them or something, and then they were able to

232
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:27.559
<v Speaker 2>recuperate memory, which means that that concubine lady definitely remembered

233
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>sleeping with that old man.

234
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that was a weird thing because he's like,

235
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 3>do you want to go watch the porn we made

236
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.799
<v Speaker 3>that you don't remember because I watch it all the time. Yeah.

237
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Back in my day, we used to memory wipe the concubines.

238
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Now my grandson is a marrying one. But she's really

239
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.159
<v Speaker 2>determined to figure out whether or not her succession had

240
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.360
<v Speaker 2>anything to do with like some sort of planned attack,

241
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>which I never even thought about because I didn't know

242
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the circumstances of her coming into power, which would have

243
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.000
<v Speaker 2>been interesting to see. It would have been cool to

244
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 2>know this royal family in season one and then see

245
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.919
<v Speaker 2>them die in a horrible accident. That's how you build

246
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.679
<v Speaker 2>emotion and depth of character.

247
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know well, yeah, she's he's on her own

248
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.120
<v Speaker 3>mission to figure this out. And then I'm not sure

249
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 3>what she'll do, like if she finds out that brother

250
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.919
<v Speaker 3>Day did orchestrate the death of her family to manipulate

251
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.039
<v Speaker 3>her into being his wife, And I'm not sure if

252
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 3>she might still go through with it, but be because

253
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.879
<v Speaker 3>she really implies like she's not the weak one that

254
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.799
<v Speaker 3>he thinks she is.

255
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I think what she wants to do is kill him. Yeah,

256
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's another reason why she's trying to

257
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 2>find out how he wasn't assassinated successfully, so that she

258
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 2>can learn from others' mistakes. So I think she might

259
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>go through with it. It doesn't mean, if anything, that

260
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.399
<v Speaker 2>gets her closer to him. Yeah, And uh, I think

261
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 2>we're on the cusp of her maybe finding out that

262
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Day's step mom girlfriend is a robot, because if they

263
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 2>watch that footage, it's going to show her getting her

264
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 2>head sliced open. And still, oh.

265
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 3>Really, yeah, I didn't think about that.

266
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And then I don't know, I thought that was

267
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.679
<v Speaker 2>really clever that she's like, I don't know why we

268
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 2>didn't get courted together. When she was talking to Dawn,

269
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.840
<v Speaker 2>She's like, it makes more sense. In my opinion, and

270
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I think she's like flirting with him and being very

271
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 2>like Coquette.

272
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this whole thing like plays out like Porno with

273
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.399
<v Speaker 3>all these like step family and like, oh, you guys

274
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 3>are the same person.

275
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.279
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's not cheaty.

276
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:43.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like.

277
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, very interesting. I like her arc. I'm

278
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.559
<v Speaker 2>really interested to see what she finds out and I

279
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 2>hope she gets justice. I'm tired of Day. I'm really

280
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>tired of Day. He wasn't even in the episode, I know,

281
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.159
<v Speaker 2>even implying like talking days like exhausting, such a like

282
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.559
<v Speaker 2>pompous asshole, Who are we all done? Do you want

283
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:08.879
<v Speaker 2>to talk about astro queen?

284
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 3>See if I missed anything? Like there was like a

285
00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.039
<v Speaker 3>lot more humor in the episode now, I think we

286
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 3>can start to expect that now if they brought in

287
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 3>more characters and more dynamics.

288
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I will see. It's definitely lighter. Not that I

289
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.759
<v Speaker 2>don't like heavy things, I do, but I think there

290
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.000
<v Speaker 2>has to be a balance, and I feel like the

291
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:37.559
<v Speaker 2>show to me is still not there yet. It's like

292
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.039
<v Speaker 2>trying really well, like trying and showing like I think

293
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the world building is coming across a little bit more slowly.

294
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:47.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

295
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious to see what happens next, which is good.

296
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just like last season was so hard

297
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 2>to follow.

298
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like I'm keeping up with it now. Yeah,

299
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't have to feel as dumb.

300
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I kind of wish they would bring some

301
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.640
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff up from last season into this season,

302
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 2>like that Salt place. Yeah, that would be interesting to

303
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.319
<v Speaker 2>see what they're up to now, like get a check

304
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.880
<v Speaker 2>in with them and see what happened after Empire kind

305
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 2>of turned the world around a little bit.

306
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:21.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. That's just one of the things that does not

307
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 3>work well for this show, wouldn't it, Because that was

308
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 3>such a meaningful experience for the brother day of last

309
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 3>season to go through that and find like I basically

310
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 3>don't have a.

311
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Soul, Yeah, and just leave it at that.

312
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Just like that really is like stripped him down and

313
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:43.079
<v Speaker 3>impacted him, and that place is also very meaningful for Demersal,

314
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 3>and we kind of just leave all that behind. We

315
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.119
<v Speaker 3>have the characters are same but different.

316
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's weird. I don't know how I feel about that.

317
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I wish we had a little bit of closure with that.

318
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, But I think as we've seen from what I've read,

319
00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:59.480
<v Speaker 3>like there's a bit of course correction with this season

320
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 3>that they don't jumped through time like they did all

321
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:04.839
<v Speaker 3>last season. And the show was also continued its tradition

322
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:06.440
<v Speaker 3>of showing us men's butts.

323
00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that was random, just in the garden. Yeah,

324
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.079
<v Speaker 2>like just a nude man. I wonder if it's one

325
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 2>of the concubines for day Maybe it's really interesting.

326
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>Astral Queen, who was the standout character in the.

327
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 3>Episode, Astral Queen.

328
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna give it to the general. The general, Yeah

329
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:33.279
<v Speaker 2>for what for getting back on the horse? No, wait,

330
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.400
<v Speaker 2>to his girlfriend, I mean boyfriend, to his boyfriend, for

331
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.440
<v Speaker 2>not just standing by his man, but also correcting him

332
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and saying to be wise enough to question it. Like

333
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 2>going into war. You don't go in blind. You question

334
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the sority.

335
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and keep yappuff, communicate, give me a glance.

336
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah I like that. Yeah. So him, I don't

337
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 2>know his name, his name.

338
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how to say it. Well, delaywin.

339
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 2>What is he in the Lord of the Rings? No,

340
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 2>but he he was, you know, he was with his partner.

341
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:13.240
<v Speaker 2>He's he's like, hey, you got to warn me. You

342
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 2>gotta give me like a signal if you're going to

343
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:20.759
<v Speaker 2>start knocking bitches out, and you know he's tending to

344
00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:23.759
<v Speaker 2>his wounds. He's still on board with the plan. But

345
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 2>he's a question authority bro. And he got a free

346
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.279
<v Speaker 2>book and he'd never seen one before. So hats off

347
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 2>to seeing your first book and then getting it. Wow,

348
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>what a treat you.

349
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Think he'll get in trouble for having it?

350
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Is it that kind of place?

351
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

352
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Is it a thing that like they just don't exist

353
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.799
<v Speaker 2>because they're like an archaic technology, or they don't exist

354
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:50.799
<v Speaker 2>because they're banned right, like it's and plus it's in sanscript.

355
00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Who reads sanscript in this world? I barely know anybody

356
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.359
<v Speaker 2>in like, you know, my circle that knows sanscript like that,

357
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:05.119
<v Speaker 2>especially ancient Sanskri. Yeah, what about you? Who's your standout character?

358
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to choose between Queen Sarah and Constant.

359
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Do you like a thirsty, like forward bitch or do

360
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you like a bitch that's being thirsted after who's manipulative?

361
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.839
<v Speaker 3>She was good at manipulating? Yeah, I Constant? Yeah, that

362
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:31.559
<v Speaker 3>guy really Like I think the Queen is really in

363
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 3>control of this episode.

364
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and her shoulder blades were sharp today in that

365
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>backless dress, and the woods look good. She's a skinny legend.

366
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's She's definitely among the strongest characters in the show.

367
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're is saying a lot considering how many fucking

368
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:50.200
<v Speaker 2>characters there are.

369
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Right, they can't even get them all in one episode anymore.

370
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.799
<v Speaker 3>We got to like trade off storylines. Yeah, so next

371
00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.359
<v Speaker 3>time we'll have probably a brother day and then and

372
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Salvor the mother daughter team and Harry who's a human.

373
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 3>I forgot about that.

374
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, he's human.

375
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.319
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, those are astral queens. They will receive their

376
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 3>rewards as soon as we can figure out where they

377
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:17.440
<v Speaker 3>are or when they are or when they are.

378
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we should include a packet of pigments for their pleasure.

379
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 2>What is with seven pigments? Man, it's like there's a

380
00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:33.720
<v Speaker 2>whole pigment story arc because it's happening through all the seasons.

381
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:35.880
<v Speaker 3>They love that stuff.

382
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh, speaking of pigments, remember that guy, that monk who

383
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.720
<v Speaker 2>snorted that stuff when they right right before they landed.

384
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Do they have cocaine in this world? What was that Rhinohorn?

385
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.119
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think we're led to believe it's at

386
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 3>least something like that.

387
00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then when he meets Selden, he's like, I'm

388
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>not drinking wine. I'm cool. So he's like turning no,

389
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 2>were a new leave for something? What's up with that

390
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.200
<v Speaker 2>quickness for quitters?

391
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 3>And they're also like, you better hide that fancy old

392
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:07.960
<v Speaker 3>line from him.

393
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

394
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:12.400
<v Speaker 3>All right. That wraps up our coverage for this episode.
