so excited to see someone who hasn't listened to archives listen to protocol. I am going to study you like a bug. really curious what your thoughts on s2 is so far? cause jonny and alex said you could listen to protocol without archives and from my perspective that's true for s1 but not really for s2. I guess you're basically seeing things from sam's pov while most of the fandom is seeing it from georgie/melanie/basira's. so how is it working for you? does it feel like you're missing out? (especially since the newest episode basically spoiled all of archives)
i'm guessing it must also be weird for you to see everyone else screaming and crying over random (to you) stuff
I actually did a bunch of posts on Archives S1. It’s probably lost in the void of all my posts and reposts but I’ve consistently put #no-I-have-not-listened-to-archives and #no-archives-spoilers-please if anyone wants to find it
It does feel like I’m taking on Sam’s perspective (with a lot less eyes). Things in season 1 I was really confused about a lot of stuff, like why people were throwing up that Trevor Herbert is in Protocol as a Minister or whatever, and I think there was something in the Athletics case that was important?
I don’t feel like I’m missing anything, but I am a bit confused how this will all come together. I saw these buzzwords of “The Eye”, “Hunt” and others but genuinely had very little idea of what they actually were.
E42 just felt like… a lot? It was a lot of parallel-relevant lore which would have a sort of impact on Sam and his influence on Protocol, but also not really? I am interested how Sam and the Archivist will affect the main plot of Protocol. Is he going to become an Archivist himself?
For me, Protocol is a lot of fun even if I am concerned and curious for the direction of the story.
