Soo... Has anyone talked about the fact that Logan is basically left brain, and thats why he claims to feel no emotion but when he DOES feel emotion its often negative emotions like paranoia, frustration, anger, ect and its because the left brain is the side of your brain that doesn't understand emotions, and looks for the little details in everything, and when things aren't working out the left brain feels those negative emotions, and that often gets worse when the left brain is left alone to figure things out, and not only is this why Virgil and Logan are on the same side of the room while Patton and Roman are on the other side of the room, but also this is why the color orange represents anger, its one of the few emotions the left brain actually can feel, and therefore orange isn't actually a side but something all of the sides experience without knowing, either that or it IS a side, but more of an unconscious force that all the other sides experience, and eventually things are going to get so bad that the internal termoil boils over and also i think maybe Roman is gonna be the next one to experience anger to such a degree he has that orange moment too and when he has the moment it'll be at the boiling point and its actually going to scare everyone else, and that episode will end on a cliffhanger and the next episode will start with Thomas dealing with the unbridled anger he's feeling alone and turns out Roman's outburst will actually be foreshadowing for Thomas's own angry outbust that he deeply regrets almost immediately (extra points if the outburst is at someone Thomas deeply cares about, extra extra points if its a friend who is now reconsidering their friendship due to the outburst) and we actually see some dark story line start to happen and-

Wait how did this turn into a wild outlandish theory?

not to be overdramatic but tmagp44 might be my new favourite episode. im losing my mind actually

first of all, the fact that heinrich was in association w the stasi???????? and the “at least i normally spared the children” line????????????????? insane.

heinrich intentionally mistranslating what alice is saying until he openly starts trying to scare the shit out of klara is also wild. he really does feel like something that would reactivate all those childhood fears. no matter how irrational you know they are he is living evidence that they ARE real and they CAN hurt you and thats terrifying no matter how silly goofy he is the rest of the time

the statement is incredibly spiral-coded in my opinion (no, im not trying to apply archives-universe categorization to things in protocol, just saying that im a huge fan of the spiral related vibes. that being. psychological warfare/torture and manipulation. also the meshing of human parts and computer parts in a grotesque way)

statement was also very reminiscent of the one episode from TMA (in s4 or s5 i think?) where theres a website that this guy goes into every day to replace code with another line of code and then people die or something. the details are fuzzy but yall remember that right? intriguingly similar imo since that one was a Web statement which is always good to note....

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE OBVIOUS. NEW FEARS SYSTEM. i am still so suspicious of it rn since it likely does make sense and work, but there are still questions left unanswered that could alter how this system actually works in substantial ways.

Biggest question is "where did this system come from (both this power of dread that needs to be balanced, as well as the OIAR)?" like, in TMA we know the fears were formed in some sort of parasitic relationship to the development of fears in every living thing (mainly humans) that they could feed off of. so, is this dread native to this world/organically spawning, or was it intentionally created? if it was created/came from somewhere else, who/where? And then, where did the OIAR come from? Where did Fr3-d1 come from? how did anyone come to be doing this job and when?

Another question is if Lena is actually correct whatsoever. We can only assume that she is (at least partially/mostly), but she admits herself that no one ever told her any of this stuff and just "worked there long enough to learn what the system needs." Just because she worked there the longest and puzzled all this out herself doesn't necessarily mean she's correct or, at the very least (and what i think to be the case) understands it in its entirety. She is looking at all this from a very "top down" approach---her job was to monitor these things and balance them accordingly. It's like trying to stop the spread of dandelions by attempting to cut off each flower before it can turn to seeds. Sure, it works, but it's a very surface level understanding of and solution to the problem. Lena probably does still know more than she's said, but I don't think she actually does have all the answers.

Not so much a question than an observation, but ahaaaa yes we have confirmation on the idea of balance being foundational to the system! like, we mostly already knew it was true, but it's nice to have it reinforced. This also obviously ties back to the ties between the archives and the protocol universes and everything that's going on with that, which im very excited to learn more about

i now need to go back and relisten to a bunch of the show with this context and see if i can find anything else that makes more sense now/stuff that still needs answers

even more tragic perhaps than "I hope you die. I hope we both die." is "I wanted you to live. I wanted us both to live."

the big wedding in breaking dawn that's inevitable atp in eclipse kinda gets on my nerves. i understand from an author standpoint that you want your characters to have this grand and beautiful wedding, where bella realizes that this is what she wanted all along and it's beautiful! but making it so they "appease alice" is just SO TIRING.

like it seems like that's always the excuse for bella to do anything remotely fun, god forbid the girl enjoys herself. i would even accept that bella wanted to do a ceremony her parents could witness as a "last time they see their daughter" thing and then it spirals out of control inviting the entire town as "evidence" lmao. like anxious overkill would be kinda fun and would make bella more active in the wedding planning than just "alice loves parties and dresses so we're doing this for her"
