a reaction to Nightvale story "A Matter of Blood" (ep. 127-9)

I LOVED THIS STORY. I loved it because it’s a perfect mix of what wtnv stories are to me : community & personal. Dana, by facing her past, is forever changing the future of Nightvale. Cecil and Carlos, by hosting their little blood matter party, reinforce the link between the citizens.

Cecil defending Steve Carlsberg can be so so so personal. Year 6 really said personal growth :)

Im always awestruck/amazed by the fact that elements from the very first episodes are detailed and are given a in-depth meaning a 100 episodes later. It forces continuity, in a show that doesn’t have one by its format. Aml this years, Dana have always be the perfect mayor (what Pamela Winchell was not, even if she was not exactly bad), and I’ve always thought that it was her character. I thought that killing her double was just something she dod in a period of trouble, and did not have an impact on her personal history. I was blind, maybe. That was not a storyline I clearly understood. But now Dana is free, and I’m happy for her

Now Nightvale enters a period of trouble, with no mayor at its head. It is maybe a better situation that an all-powerful mayor (thus, I trusted Dana for this role. But as Tamika Flinn said, « expanding government power on the assumption that the government will always be run by well-meaning people is a dangerous gamble ») I look forward what will append next !

clem just told me that eyes are, like, super duper important in Neil's lore, and I totally agree! Crowley always wears glasses (and has those serpent-like eyes), the Corinthian also wears glasses (and doesn't even have real eyes), and Coraline has those button eyes.

I'm not sure what to do with this info, but I think the whole "eyes horror theme" is just freaking brilliant overall. I mean, vision is, like, super crucial in the human experience (I think, even though you can technically live without it), so when an eye representation gets all twisted, it always gives off this eerie vibe. Sure, it's not a new concept or anything, since ancient Greek psychics were blind and all that jazz. But I just love it when Neil does it :)
