Once again being haunted by the different paths the Mighty Nein could have taken and the different parts of the world that might have opened up.

The fact that Jonas Spahr seems to be heading on an express route to Breach, while totally reasonable to us the audience, is absolutely fucking nuts from the perspective of your average Trustee, since they lack the context of his internal monologue and several key events that were not part of the public record

To become incredibly Canadian for a second, the average citizen's perspective on the matter would be like if the federal government blamed the cost of living and housing crises solely on the Governor General and had him removed from office, and he turned up a week later having joined a grassroots anti-monarchism movement. Divorced from context Spahr's turnaround time from key government official to seditionist is absolutely ridiculous

Matt: Or someone else other than the pregnant woman go get it.

Everyone else: Noooooooooo.

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

My favorite roller coaster at Busch Gardens is Verbolten which is maybe a weird way to explain how much I am vibing with that elevator scene.

Imari and Alex both ducking was so understandable and so funny at the same time what would it even be like to be there for that.

My partner walked in to ask me a question in the middle of this scene and I jumped so high I almost fell out of my chair.

For those keeping track at home, the confirm that it's been three years since the end of the war, that puts Crimson Mirror is in 1907, the standard year for the Candela setting.

We learned in episode one that the chapter is set in late autumn, nearly winter. (The season, not necessarily the month, noting because it seems that months in Hale are called things like Summer and Midwinter.)

So, in context of this series, this puts Crimson Mirror as happening slightly after Needle & Thread, which takes place in Summer 1907.

I love that half of this circle has, like, actual jobs that they're missing because of their work for Candela and have to deal with the consequences of that absence, regardless of how pointless it feels in the face of the phenomena they've been facing. Finally, representation for those of us who have to show up to a more-or-less tedious desk job while it feels like the fabric of reality itself is crumbling.

I do always love the makeup changes over the Candela seasons. Seeing the actual effect of the events on the characters is very cool.

I didn't know Ludinus/Predathos was making a guest Candela appearance
