#arc 4 chapter 11

[forgottentazfacts]

Was it ever stated what color the philosopher's stone was? Either somewhere in crystal kingdom or stolen century or anywhere?

Episode 39, the eleventh episode of the Crystal Kingdom arc. It’s described right after they boys... remove said relic from the insides of Magnus.

Griffin: [...] Um, and uh, you kinda get a better chance to look at it now that you’re not also fighting a big ghost monster, and it just looks like a plain-looking rock, it’s light brown, it’s got smooth edges, it’s uh---

[laughter]

Griffin: Gross, okay I just changed it, it is light grey, it’s got smooth edges--

Travis: It looks like a lil nugget of poop.

Griffin: No, it’s an-- it’s a pretty-- again, we’re teetering on the NC-17 rating. Uh, it is an innocuous-looking object, but you can’t help but feel a sense of unease. Just-- just being around the Philosopher’s Stone.

They joked about how the Bureau was originally the "B.O.O.B." Instead of the "B.o.B." What did the other "O" stand for? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Outstanding, as in Bureau Of Outstanding Balance.

Mentioned in Episode 39.

what episode was the beyond explicit goof in?

Episode 39, Time: 51:55, if that’s the scene you’re thinking of.

is it canon that kravitz was faking the english accent or did griffin just change his character voice?

Sort of both. Originally Kravitz just had a cockney accent, but then Griffin kept fudging up the accent so he just made it canon that he just do the accents for work.

Kravitz: [speaking in a London accent] Yeah, it’s-it can be tricky dying. Um, technically you’ve never checked into the Astral Plane. And therefore you’ve never escaped. So… I’ve, on that technicality, I’ve called off your bounty. But, I swear, if you die again, that is it. No more Mister Nice Death. That’s it. Kravitz is gonna come a-callin’.

Taako: So are you… when we listen for your voice echoing after us, should we listen for a Cockney voice, or kind of a distinguished gentleman voice?

Kravitz: [forcing a Cockney accent] All right! Yeah, I jump between the two at will, don’t I?

Taako: Oh no! The other head on your shoulder Zaphod Beeblebrox-style has begun addressing us!

[laughter]

Kravitz: Listen, I can jump between them at will! Check this out. [lowers voice, forces a bad Cornwall accent] Oi, now I got another accent! What’s this one even called? I'onno–

Merle: [mimicking him] Wot’s all this then?

Magnus: I think that’s still Cockney, but with a mouthful of marbles.

Kravitz: [forces a very bad Transylvanian accent] I’ve got to switch between different accents to trick my prey! [returns to a London accent] That’s not true. It’s just a fun little character trait I’ve got.

Merle: You sound like Harry “Snapper” Organs from Monty Python.

Kravitz: I can also do a bunch of fun Michael Winslow-style sound effects! [makes machine gun noises with his mouth] Um, now Lucas–

Kravitz: Well, Taako, this is uh… Taako, this is a pretty unconventional place to have an argument about sort of the fate of a whole, sort of small community, but… I do like wine, so… [suddenly stops using the accent that Kravitz has spoken with since his first appearance] I’m sorry, do you mind if I drop the accent, it’s like– it’s really really hard to keep it up, and when I’m not on the job it just feels weird doing it. Is that okay?

The first time i listen to taz, i 100% missed the "after credts" Seven Birds part at the end of the crystal kingdom arc. Are there any others like that I might have missed?

You mean epilogues? A few of them. I’ll put the episode number and the time down so you can listen to them.

There is a joke one, set up by Justin, that doesn’t actually add anything to the plot, but if you want to experience it anyways, it’s after the Boys level up at the end of the second Lunar Interlude. Again, it’s a joke and it holds no weight to the plot, but it might be fun to hear it. Episode 28,Time: 72:26

There is the one you mentioned, the seven birds prophecy, that I’ll still put a time stamp for, in case anyone misses out on it. Episode 39, Time: 68:27

There is a small epilogue at the tails of the final episode of The Eleventh Hour arc that show a little snippet of what happens with the Boys later that night after they finish their mission. Episode 49, Time: 77:09

There is one at the end of the forth Lunar Interlude, which is a description of the Red Robe’s cave where he’s been doing all of his research on the location of the Grand Relics. Episode 50, Time: 92:18

Finally, there is one more at the end of the second part of the fifth Lunar Interlude that works as the opener for The Stolen Century arc. It describes the portrait in Lucretia’s room. Episode 59, Time: 103:15

what scene did the song madam director play in? i listen to that song all the time but I don't actually remember where its from. thanks!

Episode 39, Time: 63:59

It also plays during Episode 65, Time: 33:04

[forgottentazfacts]

Hi there! When does Lucretia show the boys the damage the relics can do? Love your blog and thank you for the hard work you do

Episode 39, Time: 1:02:02

in response to a previous question, i think that the true love being referenced in the song is jon because she lost control of herself when she saw beyond the planes, and in TSC jon said that people are "always convinced" by his speeches, so i think that he might have some form of convincing or persuading mind control.

Maybe. That could be possible, but the only issue is that John is in the Hunger, not in the Astral Plane, and at that point, the Hunger wasn’t in the Astral Plane yet…

ALSO! Lucretia erased the Hunger from everyone’s mind… except the dead… and Maureen died from her vision… and Lucretia warned the Boys that remembering too quickly could kill them… so it’s possible that she could be affected in the afterlife...

Huh.

Mark this under “take into consideration, but not yet official canon, so also take with a grain of salt.”
