I'd like to think that somewhere, Graham Casner is both very proud at how Irina is handling this situation and murderously furious at Es, Lewis, and Jason.

harlan what are YOU doing in the white vault: goshawk!!!

Fascinating that besides the unexpected bad weather in both storylines, the two main threats this season have been (at least for now) decidedly unsupernatural in origin, with our protagonists separately facing human traffickers and terrorists. I’m wondering exactly how all this will play out in the long run; the continued thread of the horror of sudden weather phenomena shines through though, and the show still maintains that specific White Vault feeling throughout. The scene in ep 2 where Dís struggles to get a new flight in the airport manages to be endlessly engrossing. I don’t know how KA Statz does it, but she manages to make scenes like that feel so authentic and simultaneously fraught and tense.

I feel like not enough people are talking about the new season of The White Vault (Goshawk) on here?? Saw a couple of takes about it being slow/boring, so I’ll put my opinion out there: it’s SO SO GOOD. The sound design is genius as always, the acting, writing, building the general unease… It’s tragic and clever! It’s creepy! I really urge you not to miss out on it!

P.S. I haven’t listened to Echoes btw (people are saying that the stories are connected)

Horror Podcast Rec - The White Vault

Caught up on the latest episode today, and if you haven't listened to this series yet, I highly recommend it. Especially for Magnus Archives/Protocol fans if you need something to tide you over between eps. The premise of the first season is that a team is sent out to investigate a signal at a remote Arctic outpost... only to get immediately snowed in by a sudden and unexpected storm. While exploring the outpost, they find a network of underground tunnels that turn out to be much, much older and full of more horrors than anyone could have expected. It's brilliantly acted with a cast from all over the world despite being put together by a very small team. S1 and S2 are relatively self-contained and focused on the events at Svalbard, but later seasons and bonus seasons take us all over the world, as we find out the Svalbard outpost was not an isolated incident.

MR. SIMS WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE WHITE VAULT: GOSHAWK

[naazaif327]

Horrifying to have such human and intentionally cruel and sadistic villains this season. Despite the eldritch beings of the last 5 seasons being cognizant and fucked up enough to demand sacrifices, there was something comforting about their alien lack of understanding about the depths of the harm they were causing. Listening to Es (and Lewis) take pleasure in torturing Jean and toying with Iffy, it’s truly nauseating in how intentional the cruelty is. They’re not even ruthless efficient pragmatists, they’re barely capable hunters, they’re doing it this way because they want to.

Mr. Guthrie?? in The White Vault??? when I tell you I had to pause the episode to comprehend hearing his voice in this context…
