Okay, I assume this is the Hunt domain? I'm worried we're gonna see Daisy and it'll be sad.
Shadow? We just did the Dark, soooo...
I'm realizing that this is not the Hunt domain... what the hell fear is this?
The Vast? I only assume the Vast because of all the wind? Oh, wait, Jon just called the being vast. I'm guessing that's right then.
OH! So this vast monster is a collection of people who have been made into sort of a massive flesh golem. Hate that... Though it does remind me a story I heard of forever go. Can't remember the name but it was like two cities/town joined together and make monsters out of their own bodies and then they fought to kill each other. Two guys saw it, with one mystified and wanting to join the mass and the other horrified and killed as a result of the thing.
Oh, this all just sounds so bad but I guess that's the point. NO! I don't like heights! Don't want to think about any of this.
Really? I honestly don't think I would want to be alive in this world. I think I would choose death in literally every one of these domains.
"Is it much further." Martin, hon, it's the Vast, it's gonna be far. Oh, god, Jon just said the exact some thing!
What even counts as a day here? Martin asked that too! I'm on fire today, apparently... and Jon doesn't have an answer. Lovely.
Wait, Simon? Like Fairchild? Oooooo! Are we gonna get more old man murder?!
WHAT?! Crash? Did Simon just crash land in front of them?! Sir?!
Why are you still so delightful?!
I'm laughing so hard, this guy is just kinda fun to listen to. I want to hate you sir but you really are a fun character. He's so flippant and if he were around all the time it would probably get quite grating but right now he really is just fun to listen to.
More of this "no one is actually important" nonsense. That's the big thing I don't like about all the powers that be in this story, they're all so convinced that no one actually matters but it's so infuriating to listen to. I have some pretty strong opinions about the idea here and I don't care for the idea that people are inherently worthless unless they serve some greater power. I assumed that the series' story would challenge that idea at some point and I suppose there's still time to do so but it does feel like it's dodged acknowledging it so far.
Wow, Martin, straight into the murder again. You are such an angry man. Like agree with you but maybe you should have a code word instead of "kill him!" You know, a little subtlety.
I don't know what's funnier to me, Simon asking "Can he do that?" or going "Seems a bit rude to be honest."
Jon! Murder, this man! JON! You let him go! Yeah, I agree with Martin!
What do you mean you didn't want to kill him?! He threatened your man! You know that, right?! I agree so much with Martin right now!
Like, look, I get it, this is certainly something to do with holding on to his humanity but Simon Fairchild is objectively a bad person. Even if the only way to undo the horrors of the world is to undo the Watcher's Crown, the assumption is that the world will go right back to what it was and Fairchild will just go back to what he was doing before. I hate to be that person but I'm all about side quests, so I think I would go through and get rid of as many of the mini bosses as possible. That way when the world is put back together, there will be less monsters in it.
Oh, hello Helen. "Honestly, I feel a little cheated." I do too!
"You're really not helping." "I'm not trying to." I love you both so much.
I agree with Jon that the apocalypse can not be saved. This world will be bad for as long as it is what it is. BUT I stand by my statement that once the world is right again, those people not being there will make the world better.
"Hanging out inside myself..." What an interesting line. Literally no other series could make a line like that work and I respect TMA for that.
"You really want that old man dead." Every other line in this episode has me smiling! Because, YES, I also want all of these old men dead. They are objectively evil, bad people!
Did Jon not know he threatened Martin? I thought he listened to all the tapes? Would Jon have felt differently if he knew that I wonder?
Jon, you better kill Magnus or we're gonna have words!
AH! These two are seriously adorable sometimes.
You know what, it's been a while since I've genuinely had so much fun with an episode. For a few episodes now they've just made me feel very self-conscious and gross and sad and small. I get that that's the point, but still. Interesting that it was the Vast episode that didn't do that...
