G.I.G.S. PLAY LETHAL COMPANY
STREAM RECAP
Skizz, Grian and Impulse appear in orange spacesuits in a down-at-heel salvage spaceship. They are met with a glowing red display informing them they have 4 days left to meet profit quota.
Impulse makes a good-faith attempt to read the training manual, but this is aggressively ignored by the other two, and even Impulse gives up completely when Scar arrives.
Grian hates that they all look the same and demands they change suits.
They all succeed in changing their suits to exactly the same shade of orange as they have only unlocked one color.
Grian deals with his frustration at being thwarted by jumping over the railing of their ship as it starts to land shouting WHEE!
Skizz: Did he just jump?
Grian: [has sustained enormous amounts of fall damage] MY LEGS
Eventually they discover the main point of the game, a mysterious abandoned facility.
Grian: HEEEEEEE [jumps over the railing into the depths of the facility]
Grian has died.
Grian’s ghost commands the ship to leave early.
The whole party are left by Grian to perish on a hostile planet.
Skizz: So, what did we learn?
Scar & Impulse together: Nothing.
Grian: Falling hurts?
Impulse discovers a valve he can’t pull. Scar asks if he needs a man to come down and pull his valve. Scar finds he cannot pull the valve either and suggests maybe we need someone else to come down and crank it.
Scar: Should we have left Grian to his own devices? [This is slander, Grian has begun to find valuable items for the crew.]
Scar and Skizz are eaten by sand monsters.
Scar and Skizz attempt to abandon the others but Impulse and Grian make it back in time.
Grian: I can’t believe how bad we are at this.
1 day left to meet profit quota.
New planet! it is raining. Scar and Skizz get lost on an old rail track for about five minutes. When they return, they find the mysterious splattered corpses of their dead friends.
Both of them stand there inspecting the mysterious splattered corpses of their dead friends beside an inexplicable jar of pickles. Scar picks up a corpse. Skizz retrieves the pickles.
Scar get splattered by exactly the same monster as the other two, in the same place, doing the same thing.
Skizz: I saved the pickles!
Impulse’s ghost: Really? 😒
0 days left to meet profit quota.
Argument over the value of pickles all the way back to the company planet, where a small window with a bell is apparently where to sell their stuff. Impulse tells the others to ring the bell and stand back. A dark force scythes out of the window and consumes their scrap. They return to orbit.
Ship: YOU HAVE NOT ACHIEVED YOUR PROFIT QUOTA. WELCOME TO OUR DISCIPLINARY CLASSES.
The airlock opens and sucks the whole party out into the airless void.
Impulse: Noooooooo!
Scar: Did we get spaced!?
Grian: [in a tone that suggests he thinks the Company have a point about incompetence] We’re being disciplined. In space.
Scar: I don’t like our boss.
Grian announces that he has a NEW STRATEGY. We stick together, we find stuff together, and we leave together.
Grian immediately runs off after landing.
Impulse: I think he’s dead.
Scar: Have faith in him, he’s British.
Grian: [reappears] The profit quota is 130 credits. We can do this if we do it PROPERLY. [These are rich words for a man who has jumped unnecessarily to his death several times.]
However, Grian is absolutely determined they are going to succeed. He finds a whole scrap engine. Meanwhile Scar, wondering if he will ever find anything of value, is delighted to find and recover an ominously glowing light.
Skizz: [hearing the new hum] What did you do?
Scar: I salvaged a lightbulb!
Impulse: YOU TURNED ON THE RADIATION, SCAR.
Scar: That wasn’t me, that was…Grian.
They have collected a big metal cog, an engine, Scar’s ominously glowing lightbulb, and miscellaneous junk. Skizz has died again. In site of Grian’s agitation for efficiency, they are still a few credits short of the quota. They are once more sucked through the airlock into the cold void of space.
Impulse: AUGH!
Skizz: OH NO COME ON.
Grian: [disgusted] We deserved it.
New planet again! They are definitely going to do things better and more efficiently this time.
Impulse: I’ve bought four flashlights! We should see a rocket landing to give them to us.
The rocket arrives playing a jaunty ice-cream truck tune. Skizz welcomes it by standing under it and yelling.
Skizz is killed by the rocket.
Scar: That’s so sad. [steals his flashlight]
Scar has found a horn
Grian: I think—
HORN NOISE
Grian: I think I’m going—
HORN NOISE
Grian: …
HORN NOISE
Grian: I’m going back to the ship.
HORN NOISE HORN NOISE HORN NOISE
Skizz: Well at least I always know where Scar is now
HORN NOISE
Grian: [back at the ship] SCAR I’m going to have to ask you to DROP THE HORN.
Scar will not drop the horn. They travel to company planet to sell. Visibly at the end of his rope, Grian finally convinces Scar to put down the horn.
Grian immediately steals the horn for himself and starts using it.
The next mysterious abandoned facility has nothing to offer but a very difficult parkour jump over a dizzying drop.
Grian: We gotta do the jump.
Impulse successfully makes the jump and gets to the other side. A giant braineating slug instantly drops on his head. The others assist him via encouraging shouts of ‘look at that idiot!’. Eventually it is decided there has to be a rescue party. The other three make the jump and try ineffectually punching the slug (Scar: BANG HIM. JUST BANG HIM!) The slug finishes eating Impulse’s brain and starts eating Grian’s. (Grian: IT’S ON ME). Scar attempts to pick up Grian’s body. The slug lands on Scar. The slug eats Scar’s brain while Skizz runs away and starts the ship.
Skizz: [having abandoned all his friends to die and failed to pick up any scrap] A grade D? This is outrageous.
Scar picks up the horn again in revenge.
They return to the company planet. Grian rings the bell several times to sell their stuff.
An eldritch tentacle monstrosity eats Grian.
Impulse: There was a bell. You knew he was going to press the button too many times.
Scar: WHY DO WE WORK FOR SOMEBODY LIKE THIS.
Newly resurrected, Grian proposes for their next run on a new planet they buy some flashlights. Impulse proposes that they save the money as they will probably die and need them on a future mission. Skizz proposes they buy Impulse some OPTIMISM and BELIEF IN HIS TEAM. This motion is carried.
Scar proposes they all take a moment to remember the airhorn and how fun it was. This motion is summarily discarded.
Grian jumps into a sand creek in his great excitement at the arrival of the ice-cream truck supply rocket and slowly falls to his death shrieking HELP ME.
Impulse: I’M HELPING [Impulse also slowly falls to his death]
Skizz: Here’s the ice-cream truck!
They were too slow and the rocket has left without giving them the flashlights.
In an act of protest at being a ghost, Grian starts playing a Switch game with the music up and his mic on.
Scar dies to another carnivorous slug and Impulse and Grian’s ghosts tell the ship to take off and let Skizz perish on the hostile planet, leaving once more with no scrap and a mission grade of F.
Scar: We’re all dead.
Impulse, the man who originally threw away the instruction manual: Maybe we should read up and see if there’s something we missed about this game.
Scar: I liked the air horn.
Impulse: … What if we played Phasmophobia instead?

Sejak episode 14
He really went "guys, I think we should stop the king from interrogating people. I mean, think about the poor spy when he's caught 🥺" and they all just accepted this as a normal, not at all suspicious thing to say
The poison was on the yongpo!!! How very Count of Monte Cristo!
HE GETS CREEPIER FOR EVERY EPISODE AND I LOVE IT. Please let Lee Gyu-hoe play the villain in every sageuk from now on, he's so incredibly persuasive at this brand of delulu evil!! I love the long ass Rasputin beard fluttering after him whenever he storms off feeling that he has been Humiliated and must Seek Revenge
I'm so happy that this new and improved Mong-woo can read between the lines 🥰
But if she is gonna be as ride or die for Yi In as she claims, I think a good first step would be to tell him about this plot that she personally set in motion and is still ongoing behind his back, idk.
The devil works hard but the torture gnomes work harder!
Lol honestly very relatable that he forgot Master Chu's face. Finally some representation for the prosopagnosia community!
When I tell you I had goosebumps throughout this entire exchange. They are both such marvelous actors. Also wanna give a shoutout to the sound designer! The musical score has probably been great all along, but this was the first episode I watched with headphones on and my god
It's so funny to me that he seems to be genuinely impressed and delighted by how evil Minister Park is. He's like "I can only hope to be as evil as you one day daegam 😍 I served the others for personal gain, but you... I'm serving for love"
Very ooc for Myung-ha to even consider this cursed alliance. Like didn't you learn anything from trying to plot with other people?? Just do your own thing man! Get creative!!
Another terrific actor. I love her polished, arrogant diction that is so entirely at odds with the haunted look in her eyes.
My darling Dong!! If no one will protect you I will!!!
Sorry writernim for thinking there would be catty jealousy drama... I should never have doubted you. (Very amusing though when she stomps her little foot on Mong-woo's proffered handkerchief and Mong-woo looks shocked that her gentleman rizz has failed, lmaooo)
LIPSTICK POISON!!! Even better than the robe! But as always with this trope I wonder: how on earth can it kill the person being kissed and not the person wearing it? I assume this is a different poison from the one she used on the former king, since that was clearly more slow-working than this could be supposed to be... and simultaneously strong enough to seep through several layers of fabric which would reasonably then also cross through the protective barrier of Dong sanggung's plump and lovely lips. Much to think about.
There's manspreading and then there's this
I'll be honest I did experience a few bisexual emotions while watching this scene. I assume he's got her all figured out here and will shove her away with his virtue intact in the first seconds of ep 15, but the sexual tension between him and the Toxic Lipstick is pretty intense lol. I feel like he considered going for it, just for like 2 seconds. Not a bad way to go after all.
Also, remember what I said about the sound design because it really goes extremely hard in this scene!! Those ominous strings! A most excellent episode!
