Show Notes
Jenny and Ted discuss Plague 12.4.
Episode Notes: Jenny hates the Nine and Ted loves the chapter We stop trying to make “Undlers” happen Shout-out to biomechanimagical for the new team name! How deep into the bench of Worm characters do you have to go to find a certified Tumblr Sexyman? The “deal” gambit will unite our herovillains if not all of Brockton Bay Taylor and Jenny are sus-Bitch-ous Lisa will live to sass another day Ted does a close reading on how quickly Taylor can rationalize her emotions Taylor gives up control Lisa and Taylor push each other around in the best way Maybe Taylor’s bugs will be enough to avoid the thing where there’s no way she runs six miles in thirty minutes The title drops and we talk a lot about worms and the controlling thereof Ok for this segment just imagine if our logo didn’t have eyes We don’t exactly feel bad for Cherish but wow, what an ordeal Do Cherish and Taylor’s villain gang initiations only vary by extremeness? These tests effectively show us how the Nine, and especially Jack, operate We consider how Cherish’s situation might be different from the average recruit’s The Nine are incredibly acceptable targets Jack isn’t optimizing for power, but he did have Bonesaw cook up an artificial brain to punk Cherish Don’t bring up that study about how spoilers don’t ruin stories in front of Jack if you value your face Powers work as a metaphor for narrative, too Jenny bonesees right through Bonesaw Don’t bet on Amy Faced with the Nine, some people would just choose death Alec’s knack for chatting up villains Siberian-based tinker-tech Odds and ends and predictions
