MAG108 one of my new faves along with new door! I'll make a list of my favourites when I finish and relisten to the entire series!

So I do not know much about Shakespeare, but with the importance of names in tmagp, I gotta point out that Frederick and Celia are both names from As You Like It.

Frederick is the king, who abdicated the throne after his violence was made clear to him by a monk/priest figure. Celia is his daughter, loyal to her cousin, Rosalind, and not the crown.

Perhaps this implies that FR3-D1 is the unjust ruler, who may be brought to the light.

This is the same play referenced in TMA’s mag 108 (Monologue) read by Martin Blackwood. “All the world’s a stage…” The episode is pretty strongly alined with the lonely with the debut of Peter Lukas as “onscreen” for the first time. I wonder if the fact that Martins name is only mentioned once in tmagp connects here.

Maybe something that aligns with Jon’s greatest fear of “becoming another mystery” and Martins being forgotten, unloved, and alone.

Their worst fears being confirmed.

El’s MAG 108 (Monologue) thoughts & review

Notes

As Martin says, there is something strange about this statement, but it is not the same strangeness as usual. I don’t really know to what entity this ep is linked really, because at first thought I would’ve say the Stranger but also I doesn’t feel like it ?? Maybe it’s the Eye but like Adonis was legitimately watched by something he COULD see not something lurking in the dark (does that make sense?).

PETER LUKAS !!!!! ALSO ELIAS I HATE YOU!!!!!!

Peter Lukas can enter a room without being seen hmmmmm

Basira talks about the reading she's been doing recently on the People's Church of the Divine Host. She mentions that around the same time as the statement in MAG 25, there was a total solar eclipse in Ny-Ålesund, and the last one had been 300 years ago, like how long Natalie Ennis had described the church waiting for. She then begins to say something about the relationship between Edmond Halley and John Flamsteed, but Martin cuts her off (resume from the wiki yeah I’m lazy)

Review

Okay so season 3 isn’t exactly statements-oriented because there’s a LOT of lore development which i love of course. But the statements as in themselves were… kinda off. Not this one though. I genuinely loved this one. I think I related to this one more than the others. Firstly because I’m a theater kid, but mostly because of this feeling of being watched I guess ??? Also I put a new version of « all the word’s a stage » in my Twitter bio every year so I was so pleased to hear this quote ☻

Peter Lucas interviewing Martin on how Elias could be a better boss is SO funny to me. “So, your advice would be less murder?” Amazing

First listen to: MAG 108 - Monologue

For an avatar of the Lonely, Peter Lukas seems weirdly chipper. Knowing what happens to Martin in later seasons, I wonder if this meeting w/ Peter Lukas is when he got marked by the Lonely. Not quite sure how it all works. We know that Martin is more inclined to the Lonely in the same way that Jon was more inclined to the Eye. If Jon hadn’t ended up at the institute would he have still fallen in w/ the Eye? I think Martin always would’ve fallen in w/ the Lonely but Peter Lukas acted as a catalyst for him.
