First Edition S2E62 Review

Crow’s Review:

Yump. I like Mary’s descriptions through the episode, and her and Gertrude’s weird freakisms ofc. I do also enjoy her strange lilty voice. My brain so fried dog I’m not gonna lie. It was alright. Fun appearance of the bone book from like the 4th(?) statement. 

“The Magnus Institute is not what it seems” wow Jon you dont say

Ratings Scary: ★★☆☆☆ Story: ★★★☆☆ Personal rating: ★★☆☆☆

Spring’s Review:

Fun! I actually remember this one very well because of how strong the story is, but every time I forget that it’s a live statement From Mary Keay. Also WOOOOOO Gertrude recording! Love the dynamic between her and Mary, weird horror-magic grandma rivalry! I do like how especially scary and old Mary sounds. Like I said I especially like this statement, there’s a lot that sticks out. The “doctor” in the statement, the book of the dead, really anything Mary talks about and how she talks about it. Neat little post-statement from Jon! Love how kinda creepy & teetering on obsessive he sounds here, I can picture him standing up from the desk and walking over to the floorboard.

So Mary was always eye-aligned the whole time! I think I misremembered the “I like to diversify my portfolio” line, and the one about disagreeing w/ Elias as; she divorced herself from any entity. But nope she’s super duper Eye, just specifically separate from the archives.

Mary immediately remembering/knowing the safe code is fun, I like the small subtle manifestation of fear powers like this.

GERTRUDE LAPTOP!!! Excited for what this means.

SHE KILLED THE DR LADY?!?!?

In cold blood 💀

Stay far far away from Mary Keay dude

[eldest-daughter-syndrome]

I love the fact that Mary is judging the killers HANDWRITING😭😭😭

Like dude.

That’s not what you should be focusing on.

Mary might be one of the single scariest characters in TMA to me tbh

WE HAVE THE LAPTOP!

MAG 62 “First Edition” review:

What the fuck is happening!!!!!! First MAG 61 and the fucking continuation of MAG 002, now we don’t only get a Gertrude tape but also it’s with fucking Mary Keay? Which means it’s connected to Jurgen Fucking Leitner. I don’t know what’s worse, her general creep factor of the fact that she confirmed that Leitner is boring.

And also the Keay family used to be a part of the Magnus Institute? To tell you the truth, I’ve always felt like all these statements were old. I keep forgetting that those like this one were recorded in modern years like 2008. It feels strange to think that all this stuff is so close together. Well, except for the Alexandria and the Cannibal one. But I’m getting off track.

I think because Keay wasn’t spooked 8 wasn’t spooked either. Doctors killing yoy is not a great thing, but not entirely unheard of. One of the greatest serial killers was a British doctor if i remember correctly. I’m just so curious as to what they do with the bodies. The original owner of the book in this one was using it for extortion, but that lady seemed to be actually dead.

Also what really was the book in the first place? I feel like I missed that bit. She did some wavy hand things an spoke aloud, she injected something into a lady who died, and she made a previous patient give her money or something to that effect. Nothing much interesting in the end.

And what’s this about the Keay family being gifted with the touch of the supernatural? From the sounds of it, they had something even before Keay did some shit with the Leitner books. All correct me if I’m wrong but she is the of lady in tattoos from MAG 4, right?

Actually, give me a second, I mgoing to look through the episodes and list all the statements I think are connneted to either the Keays or to Leitner.

MAG 4, MAG 17, MAG 23, MAG 35, MAG 46, MAG 49, possibly MAG 57, and now MAG 62. Some of these are a stretch, but I’m somewhat certain.(EDIT: I’m looking through my old reviews. Gerard Keay is mention in MAG 48!)(EDIT EDIT: all MAG 41 lol)

More often than not these tapes focused on the grandson, not Mary. Can’t remember his name these days. Well, either her grandson, or the man who ran off with the Bone Turner’s Tale. There’s still a lot about all of these people I can’t remember immediately, and likely to be a lot more in the future.

I’m giving this episode a 7 homicides out of 10 false ambulances. Would commit medical malpractice again.

Statement ends.

Supplemental Review:

Elias grows more suspect by the hour. I think he’s innocent, but only regarding the death of Gertrude. Only time will tell who he truly is. I agree with Sims current standpoint on revealing nothing to him. NOW ONLY IF HE could FIGURE OUT NOT!SASHA NEXT JESUS

End supplemental.

it's really funny that Jon Sims and Mary Keay both encountered leitners as little kids, except that Jon's first leitner was a kid's book about a spider and he got traumatised, while Mary's first leitner was made out of human skin and she immediately murdered someone to get it.

..........mags 4 and 62.

[crashout-cain]

LMAO mary keay talking about how she got her first leitner is literally like "that nasty shallow bitch had an abominable power and she killed people with it to make MONEY. unlike ME, who does it for the pure love of the game <3"
