Jenny and Ted discuss Plague 12.4.
Episode Notes:
Jenny hates the Nine and Ted loves the chapter
We stop trying to make “Undlers” happen
Shout-out to biomechanimagical for the new team name!
How deep into the bench of Worm characters do you have to go to find a certified Tumblr Sexyman?
The “deal” gambit will unite our herovillains if not all of Brockton Bay
Taylor and Jenny are sus-Bitch-ous
Lisa will live to sass another day
Ted does a close reading on how quickly Taylor can rationalize her emotions
Taylor gives up control
Lisa and Taylor push each other around in the best way
Maybe Taylor’s bugs will be enough to avoid the thing where there’s no way she runs six miles in thirty minutes
The title drops and we talk a lot about worms and the controlling thereof
Ok for this segment just imagine if our logo didn’t have eyes
We don’t exactly feel bad for Cherish but wow, what an ordeal
Do Cherish and Taylor’s villain gang initiations only vary by extremeness?
These tests effectively show us how the Nine, and especially Jack, operate
We consider how Cherish’s situation might be different from the average recruit’s
The Nine are incredibly acceptable targets
Jack isn’t optimizing for power, but he did have Bonesaw cook up an artificial brain to punk Cherish
Don’t bring up that study about how spoilers don’t ruin stories in front of Jack if you value your face
Powers work as a metaphor for narrative, too
Jenny bonesees right through Bonesaw
Don’t bet on Amy
Faced with the Nine, some people would just choose death
Alec’s knack for chatting up villains
