I noticed in the bts video for Boom that RTD is talking about stuff that's come in the previous episodes and mentions goblins and babies but not Maestro...does make me think about your ep order theory! imo Boom was good as a week 2 ep but The Devil's Chord would have worked well coming after it, definitely would have helped explain why Ruby and Fifteen are so close!
Interesting! I saw some bickering about it over on Twitter, and that the Devil's Chord bts thing refers to "episode 2" a lot as proof it was always intended that way... but I haven't seen either (just the short one on Youtube) and I kind of doubt it lmao. I can buy that maybe Boom was always ep 3 and something else got swapped with TDC, I'm just... so doubtful that the original intention was always "Ruby has travelled for a long time by Boom yet never seen an alien planet".
