What's up hybrids? Welcome back to another episode
00:00:27
of The Phantom hybrid podcast. This is hanako and I am here
00:00:30
with Anthony Lori and Mike and we are discussing episode 5 of
00:00:35
Shadow and Bone season 2. Before we start talking about
00:00:39
this episode, I want to talk about something that I've been
00:00:41
meaning to mention. When we discuss the episodes and
00:00:44
I've been forgetting the title cards for this season, their
00:00:49
fire, I love them, the art Department.
00:00:54
That is excellent job. Excellent job.
00:00:57
And I love this one because at the beginning, you see, like
00:01:01
four little crows sitting on the on the sign that says, Shadow
00:01:04
and Bone. And you have one crow that flies
00:01:08
in to sit with them and then in the background in the window you
00:01:12
have another Crow that's like trapped and can't get out.
00:01:14
I was like, oh look. It's the crows and with Nina and
00:01:19
then with Metolius, locked away. And did you notice one of the
00:01:23
crows was One of the Nash's knives.
00:01:26
No, I didn't notice any. Yeah, the one on the very end.
00:01:30
Yeah. I love these title cards.
00:01:35
Yeah, look all the foreshadowing.
00:01:38
Uh-huh, very much so. But okay, let's get into this
00:01:45
episode because there was a lot that happened in this episode,
00:01:48
we had some epic fighting, we had some epic other things going
00:01:53
on. The start of the episode.
00:01:57
When Carrie, again comes back to the room, to see that bagra and
00:02:02
jigna have escaped. How the hell did all the damage,
00:02:06
get done? Because Jen you didn't do all of
00:02:09
that. There were like, the windows
00:02:14
were messed up the shades had holes in them.
00:02:17
There were like, I know she did some damage but I don't think
00:02:21
she did all of that ditch. What was that?
00:02:24
Something I missed wildly. She might have.
00:02:28
I mean, he's just now finding out.
00:02:30
It seems like and because he was probably gone for a minute, so
00:02:32
she had time. So it was she might have done
00:02:35
it. I guess that the do Vlad, Vlad,
00:02:40
mm, I think is his name because on the closed captions, it's
00:02:43
spelled vla. That do let me tell you, if you
00:02:50
were to look up minion in the dictionary, his picture will be
00:02:57
next to it. Like he's sitting there talking
00:02:59
to care again. You know, I thought it was
00:03:02
important to call you back for this blah blah blah.
00:03:05
You know, even though we lost most of our stuff, I had the
00:03:09
foresight to look like he was expecting, Kerrigan to
00:03:12
congratulate him because he had the foresight to keep the The
00:03:16
two finger bones in a locket around his neck and that he can
00:03:21
continue his experiments. He was like, I don't want to
00:03:26
hear anything you have to say right now.
00:03:28
I'm going to my room to throw a temper tantrum because my mama
00:03:33
is gone. And genya but Kerrigan in this
00:03:40
episode you kind of see him run the gamut of emotions like he
00:03:47
is. Angry and upset and he's kind of
00:03:52
wistful and when Alina comes to him and that Vision you see him
00:03:56
kind of he's kind of hesitant and kind of skeptical about her
00:04:02
but then when she touches his face, he's kind of like oh yes,
00:04:04
this is what I want. Like, maybe she's really, really
00:04:09
coming around to my way of thinking and don't let the
00:04:14
smooth taste fool. You Mommy.
00:04:18
Kenya. But I mean between him wladim
00:04:25
and Rosie Rosie. I think that's her name.
00:04:30
I can't, I can't really pronounce it.
00:04:33
FR u s-- z II. Think that's how you spell her
00:04:37
name Angie? The the tide maker.
00:04:42
Yeah, that sounds right. Let me tell you, there was one
00:04:46
point in this episode where I thought Kerrigan was about to
00:04:52
light that ass up when he was in his room and she came to tell
00:04:57
him, you know, we can't find Prince Nikolai.
00:05:00
We can't find the sun Summoner. He was like, will find them.
00:05:03
And she was like, um, the, the forceful way she was saying, is
00:05:08
she was like, our efforts would be better if We were to just
00:05:12
take out the first arm like she's telling this to him, like
00:05:16
she's expecting him to be like, oh you know what you are.
00:05:19
So right, let me change that order.
00:05:22
And you guys go kill the first Army first, the amount of
00:05:26
restraint that he serve you miserable.
00:05:32
I'd only problem with that is present Nikolai.
00:05:35
His Caravan are with my son Summoner, so at the risk of
00:05:40
repeating myself. I love it when people say they
00:05:45
are at the risk of repeating myself.
00:05:50
Get the fuck out of here and find her now, right?
00:05:53
Let I'll care about nothing else.
00:05:55
You got to say that's just that's almost.
00:05:57
It's almost reminiscent of Zoya in the first season when Elena
00:06:03
had escaped and she was trying to pull on her, I guess her
00:06:07
little seductive thing to kind of calm him down and she was
00:06:11
like what do we really need her? She probably left on her own you
00:06:14
know, you used to call on me for certain things and he was like
00:06:17
I'll be okay. Once I have my son Summoner it's
00:06:20
Hollywood but that was kind of reminiscent of that.
00:06:25
Even though up to this point, we have no indication.
00:06:30
That Kerrigan has had any kind of relationship with this girl,
00:06:33
but still, I was just like I started laughing when he turned
00:06:38
around and he was like he has a history in myself repeating
00:06:42
myself. Because like you said, and you
00:06:46
can see it in his face, like his eyes were kind of like bitch.
00:06:50
I said what I said, Go find her. But I don't know why, I don't
00:06:59
know why. People always try to test his
00:07:01
patients. He is already been if he would,
00:07:07
you know. Okay, I'm almost 50, sorry,
00:07:10
Mike, I'm almost 50. I know the older you get the
00:07:14
list, the list patients. Do you have right?
00:07:18
I can only has a less patient. You're exactly right.
00:07:20
Yes. I can only imagine how it is
00:07:23
when you're you know, 400 years old.
00:07:28
Because now everyone around you is a child, right?
00:07:32
Like Bill babies and they're saying childish things, and
00:07:36
they're doing childish, things at the risk of repeating myself.
00:07:40
I'm going to do that to Bailey, Wednesday.
00:07:42
See if he's home, it was like Did you not hear what I said?
00:07:55
No. Don't see knowing Bailey, she
00:07:56
probably like, where'd you get that from if she's white shadow
00:08:02
and bone with her parents? You'll probably be like, Dad.
00:08:04
You're not the darkling. And you'll see you want to watch
00:08:07
with this because she's already predicted house.
00:08:10
Sounds good. Has she told you how she thinks?
00:08:14
Season two is going to end. I'll have to ask her okay
00:08:20
because if she does I want to discuss that sidebar and and see
00:08:27
how accurate her predictions are right there accurate we need to
00:08:32
have her as a special guest. Now I mean, it's just like
00:08:36
Anthony said in the last episode it has something to do with this
00:08:38
younger. Younger generation, like
00:08:40
vacancy. All the clues they can follow
00:08:43
all the tropes. And I think even with some of
00:08:46
the stuff that may be unexpected, they still do it
00:08:49
because this is one reason why I do not watch TV with my daughter
00:08:52
Mia. Like, she'll be in the episode
00:08:55
of she'll be like, oh no, this is what's going to happen.
00:08:58
This is what this person sounds like it.
00:08:59
I don't like this. There was something I was
00:09:02
watching a few weeks ago. I cannot do this business.
00:09:04
She read a lot of why he lit. She used to.
00:09:06
She hasn't in a while. Missy used to.
00:09:09
Yes, that's right. Bailey is really matter why he
00:09:12
live. Like we say the last episode
00:09:14
that was true. Oops just keep xeroxing
00:09:16
themselves from hospital often. Yeah.
00:09:21
Now they do have some twists with some things but yeah I
00:09:25
think it was. Oh okay so this is not why a but
00:09:29
the last of us the episode with the cannibals Like I said, she
00:09:36
came downstairs, she heard us, you know, she heard it on TV,
00:09:39
she heard just a little bit of what he was saying, Pastor David
00:09:42
was saying right towards the beginning of the episode and she
00:09:45
was like, hold up there, man on some BS.
00:09:47
She's like he doesn't sound right?
00:09:49
He sounds like one of those people that's like creepy,
00:09:52
pedophile tights and dada da. At that point, it wasn't even
00:09:56
the hint of cannibalism but still she was able to she was
00:09:58
like, mmm just the way she was. Like I only heard like five
00:10:02
words that he said and I already know he on some bullshit.
00:10:07
Yep. But ah, okay so aftermath of the
00:10:15
attack. So we do find out in the midst
00:10:19
of the various things that we see throughout the episode.
00:10:22
The king is dead, which means that Nikolai is now be the king
00:10:28
will once the coronation happens, but technically
00:10:31
speaking, he is the king. At this point.
00:10:34
They have a lot of dead, they have a lot of injured, a lot of
00:10:37
wounded, including addressing, Eric who they have to cut his
00:10:43
arm off Toya has to take one of her axes and cut that part of
00:10:47
his arm off, in order to try to save him.
00:10:51
I was like that's a lot while they're down there, Elena starts
00:10:58
losing control of her power. Again, one, she's already
00:11:02
fretful because she still can't find Mal.
00:11:04
She still has no clue that he's missing.
00:11:05
She just knows that he's not down there.
00:11:09
I said, lot of day, a lot of wounded.
00:11:12
Nikolai is trying to send the wounded to another.
00:11:17
I think it's another town again, I'm not going to try to butcher
00:11:20
that. I'm not going to butcher that
00:11:22
name but he's trying to get her to hold it together.
00:11:27
And as they're sitting there talking and trying to figure
00:11:31
some stuff out, I thought one of the new travois was coming down
00:11:36
into that Cavern because when that Darkness started creeping
00:11:39
down there and Nikolai was like get all the wounded out of here.
00:11:42
I was like what are me like y'all have so many wounded is
00:11:45
only a few of y'all that are able body for one of y'all gonna
00:11:49
do and then back is like stupid, girl, how long are you going to
00:11:53
stand there before you? Let us down the like, only back?
00:11:57
Bad girl, only bagra. Backwards their genius with her.
00:12:06
And like I said, at the beginning of this will actually,
00:12:10
I said this before we started recording, I forgot how intense
00:12:14
this episode was and I also forgot how emotional it was when
00:12:21
Jenga and Alena reunited. And all of Lena had to do was
00:12:25
just look at genius. She was she's just went over
00:12:27
there to to hug her like All Is Forgiven, I was sobbing I was
00:12:31
like oh Yes. Okay, the gang is back together
00:12:35
again. But janya, let me tell you, she
00:12:40
had to deal with a whole bunch of bullshit in this episode and
00:12:43
I'm glad she stood up for her. I'm glad Alina stood up for her.
00:12:47
I'm glad Nikolai stood up for her.
00:12:49
I'm glad well not at first, though.
00:12:52
Michael. I was like, yeah.
00:12:54
But I mean you heard of a good reason because he didn't know
00:12:58
like know you didn't he's been gone for years.
00:13:01
He did. Don't know what had been going
00:13:03
on. So, one Selena stood up for
00:13:07
janya. I think he realized.
00:13:08
Okay, valina standing up for her and Junior was one of the people
00:13:12
who betrayed her, which he would have learned when David showed
00:13:16
up. He was like, okay, you know
00:13:18
what, maybe I need to consider this.
00:13:20
I need to think about this. You are safe here. but when the
00:13:25
queen, Saw Ginga Katrina? No top Tiana Tiana Tiana when
00:13:33
she was her name is Hannah and was like um what does she say to
00:13:41
her? At least you look like the
00:13:42
monster you are or something and she was trying to have her
00:13:45
arrested jenya looked at her and she kind of pulled up to her
00:13:50
full height. I said, oh she's been lit.
00:13:52
This bitch habits and boy did she Shouldn't have to raise her
00:13:59
voice. She was just like, ask me how I
00:14:01
did it. Ask me, bitch, this is like I
00:14:04
put the poison all over my body for weeks.
00:14:08
Every time he touched me every time he kissed me, he took it
00:14:12
into himself. All he had to do was stop coming
00:14:14
to my bed. What are you gonna say to that?
00:14:18
Nothing, you can't say a damn thing to say because you because
00:14:22
he was dead wrong and you can't even defend them.
00:14:27
Like all you can do is keep criticizing her and look like a
00:14:30
bitch in front of everybody. You find everybody?
00:14:33
But yeah, because I've everybody heard it, they're probably like,
00:14:36
oh shit, they have this kind of fucked up, right?
00:14:39
And you know for years Jenga had it rough with the rest of the
00:14:44
Grisha because the rest of the Grisha treated her almost like a
00:14:48
pariah. You know, she talked about in
00:14:51
the first episode like she wasn't included in everything
00:14:54
else. She was kind of set apart
00:14:55
because she was the queen. Ins personal Grisha.
00:14:59
And then the rumors were kind of going around about her and the
00:15:03
King, but I'm pretty sure that the way the rumors were out
00:15:08
there, in the way the word was twisted.
00:15:10
They were probably skewing it like, genius seduce.
00:15:14
The the king or that she was having a consensual relationship
00:15:18
with the King and they were all shutting her for it, but, I
00:15:22
mean, what else is she going to do?
00:15:23
Say, no, the king is raping me. What is that going to do?
00:15:27
For her? Nothing, it won't protect her.
00:15:31
So the fact that she's finally able to put all this out and
00:15:35
say, all of this, and at the moment that this happened, she's
00:15:39
actually running from David. So when the queen Corners, her,
00:15:43
David looks and he takes off. I was like David.
00:15:46
What the hell are you going? David?
00:15:47
Went to go get Nikolai. He was like, what?
00:15:50
We not going to do really Nikon dude, right, right.
00:15:55
Nikolai comes around that corner and she was like, a, you heard
00:15:58
her arrest, this murders? And no, no, not after What I
00:16:01
heard uh she is safe and that that that's what he tells jigna.
00:16:07
He was like I apologize on behalf of all of rafta for what
00:16:12
you have been doing and she turned to him she was like I
00:16:15
don't need your pity, I don't need your apologies.
00:16:17
What's been done to me cannot be reversed what I want to know is
00:16:21
are you going to be the person to change this broken country or
00:16:25
are you going to repeat the same mistakes as the canes before?
00:16:31
And he got that question, not once but twice in this episode
00:16:35
because he also got the question from bagra.
00:16:39
She was like, are you going to be the one to change?
00:16:41
All of this? Are you going to repeat past
00:16:44
mistakes? Yeah.
00:16:46
Careful, kind of bad for the closer, everybody.
00:16:48
It's just like their questions. Like can you do this?
00:16:50
Are you sure? Are you sure like we all leave
00:16:53
me alone, let me. I feel bad because it's on him
00:16:59
to fix. Over 400 years of bullshit, you
00:17:04
should just nowhere near his home nowhere near his fall.
00:17:07
And then because he is the son of the king and queen like
00:17:13
people are looking at him, like oh, part of this is your fault.
00:17:16
You know, he escaped, he got away from them.
00:17:19
That's one of the things Alina pointed out to him.
00:17:22
She was like, not everybody was a able to escape from the
00:17:26
palace, like, you were. Some people had to do what they
00:17:29
had to do in order to survive in, that was Jigna.
00:17:33
But she's one of those people. Yeah, but he's got a task ahead
00:17:38
of him and now everybody is looking at him like okay.
00:17:40
So are you gonna I'm thinking about all these shows that we've
00:17:44
watched Game of Thrones will time where it's like, okay, are
00:17:47
you going to fix the wheel? Are you going to break it?
00:17:49
Are you going to fix? What's been broken about this
00:17:53
country? Are you going to move forward in
00:17:55
a way that is healing to everyone?
00:17:57
Or are you going to do the same stuff that everybody else is
00:18:00
doing? I think you'll be different
00:18:02
because Genuinely seems like he wants to fix the country but
00:18:05
he's got a lot of work to do. Yeah, she'll do good be
00:18:10
open-minded. Yeah, I like the fact that he's
00:18:15
open being open-minded. Like he at first, he was like,
00:18:18
yeah, wait till we get to the castle and I'm going to try you
00:18:20
for treason and then he actually listened to Alina when she
00:18:24
explained, how what happened to her, and what she went through
00:18:28
in the castle. So, it's like let me tell you,
00:18:31
just what? Summoner is not somebody.
00:18:33
You want to have an enemy Yeah, but it's like, but he actually
00:18:37
listened. He wasn't like, hard-headed
00:18:38
with. Like, we're gonna be like, like
00:18:40
the queen. She was like, yeah, I'm a queen
00:18:43
and or was she was she was like, trying to be all standoffish and
00:18:46
shit even when she was proven wrong, but he was actually
00:18:49
willing to listen and be like, oh well shit that's fucked up.
00:18:53
My bail that line that she said she was like when he was like,
00:18:57
you know, she was under your she was under your care, she's a
00:19:02
servant. He was like a, you are Mother of
00:19:06
rafta. You are supposed to embrace all
00:19:10
raskins as your children. She can't just storm about her
00:19:16
because literally, he's taking a stand right there in front of
00:19:19
all the other Greeks, just saying what you did was wrong
00:19:21
and I'm letting everybody know that.
00:19:24
I know that what you did was wrong even when he got ready to
00:19:28
send her away later, she was trying to play with him.
00:19:31
She was like, no, I'm the queen mother.
00:19:33
My place is at your side. He was like, look, Look, I love
00:19:36
you and I know that your time is Queen has not been kind, you
00:19:41
didn't want to marry the king and you know, you were
00:19:43
ostracized. You weren't treated well as
00:19:45
Queen but still some of the shit that you allowed was shit, you
00:19:49
shouldn't have allowed. And if I'm going to be the one
00:19:52
to make the change, I can't have any of that old regime with me.
00:19:57
So yeah you got to go to a Convent by she was mad but I
00:20:03
mean him, Why would I sit here and try to fix the world and
00:20:10
still have vestiges of the, the problem, the old problem
00:20:16
sitting, right. That's just, like, I hate this,
00:20:19
that's just like Tom and having Cersei sitting next to him when
00:20:23
he was King, nothing, good coming out of that.
00:20:29
Another would have come nothing good would have come out of
00:20:31
Tatiana, she probably would have been trying to make her own
00:20:36
alliances or trying to yeah she whatever whatever.
00:20:47
I just she got told off and she very well deserved it.
00:20:55
I think I. And I'ma be honest.
00:20:56
I think she kind of she kind of got off easy.
00:21:01
I mean I really think she did. I mean he could have been
00:21:10
thinking he may not, he may not want to test that fire to too
00:21:15
much considering he might be a bad.
00:21:17
Bastard and she could blow his shit up.
00:21:19
So yeah because that's what yeah, because I'm sitting here.
00:21:22
I was worried about that. I'm trying to figure out
00:21:24
anything with you because he says bastard.
00:21:27
And then it's like, okay, she's the queen and the M boys look
00:21:32
alike at all. So it'll look alike.
00:21:36
They don't act like there's nothing to like about him, but
00:21:39
she was actually not. That's actually not unusual with
00:21:45
siblings. There are lots of pairs of
00:21:46
siblings who have The same parents and they look nothing
00:21:49
alike. Well, that's sad because they
00:21:52
think they have the same parents, but when I was ignorant
00:21:54
to say, is I don't look anything like my brother.
00:21:57
We don't like to say, you and your brother, don't look alike
00:22:00
to me. Look like, if you don't look
00:22:02
like here, we have the same parents.
00:22:04
What time is it? Like so I and the other things
00:22:12
too, I think is I don't think she's gonna open her mouth about
00:22:16
that. No, she's just worried about
00:22:18
keeping up appearances. Yeah, not only that.
00:22:21
But technically speaking, if you have a bastard only King isn't
00:22:25
that technically treason Yeah, she and I got a shit.
00:22:33
Yeah, she is saying shit. I'm saying, if she's giving up
00:22:37
the ghost so to speak, what else does she give it up?
00:22:39
She be giving up all kinds of shit, you know?
00:22:42
I mean, loose lips, sink ships, so to speak.
00:22:45
All I'm saying, is that as we get on later episodes, I think I
00:22:49
know who his daddy is. Really really okay.
00:22:55
We're we're not even gonna get into that conversation.
00:22:59
I gotta sit here and think about that, but okay, oh, oh, you know
00:23:05
what? I think, I know where she's
00:23:07
going. Okay, I'm back.
00:23:08
No, okay, we're not doing this, no notnot yet, will do this
00:23:14
after I think of those useless. A, that's okay good.
00:23:19
Wait. But the other thing is when
00:23:25
jenya does, finally get there, she's able to help heal adrift
00:23:29
from his amputation. She does have a confrontation
00:23:33
with David because, you know, she keeps avoiding him because
00:23:37
she doesn't want him to see her and You know, the exchange that
00:23:43
they have is interesting to me, because all he wants to do is
00:23:47
see her and to just let her know that, he's glad that she's okay.
00:23:51
And I think like I said, he'd I think he does feel a little bit
00:23:55
of guilt about leaving her but even with genja she was like I
00:24:01
told you to run. You did what I told you to do.
00:24:04
There's nothing you could have done to help, I don't want your
00:24:06
yield. I don't want your pity you would
00:24:09
have been busy. But the thing that I loved is
00:24:11
that at this moment Like you really don't have anything lose,
00:24:17
go ahead, go ahead and put them feelings on the line.
00:24:20
Because he basically told her look, I understand that you, you
00:24:25
got issues with the way you look.
00:24:26
I don't care about any of that. He was like you you're a strong
00:24:30
person on the inside. That's your beauty.
00:24:32
That's your strength and I should have never left you.
00:24:35
I'm sorry, you know, basically I'm sorry.
00:24:39
And the scene after, you know, what happens after that when she
00:24:43
calls to him and he was like, I'm trying to figure out though.
00:24:45
Like, how did you guys find us? Because, of course, the spinning
00:24:49
wheel is gone. It's gone.
00:24:51
They're underground. And what did she say?
00:24:54
She said bag or Amplified me so that I could seek out familiar
00:24:58
Heartbeats And I think it took him a second to realize what
00:25:03
that meant but I don't think up until that moment.
00:25:06
He realized just how important he was.
00:25:08
Was to Jania, you know, sometimes I hate to say y'all,
00:25:11
man. Y'all are clueless.
00:25:12
Sometimes looks like it could be wrong.
00:25:15
You're smacking your face and you were fast and he's smart but
00:25:22
he's, you know, not cannot real quick on the uptake.
00:25:27
Yeah, no. Yeah.
00:25:28
You Matt, but when it clicked it clicked, so I'm like, okay good.
00:25:33
Now, we have that ship finally. All right, let's move on.
00:25:39
I was expecting to hear Bruno Mars start.
00:25:41
Singing like when I see you. You know, so she could just the
00:25:47
way you are to her, you know. Because he's like, you know, I
00:25:51
mean, I thought that was really sweet, like, you know, he broke
00:25:54
it down towards like, look, I don't care.
00:25:57
I love. I'm attracted to you like, and,
00:26:01
you know, it's like a lesson for everybody for like, you know,
00:26:04
loving first. Some someone for the inside as
00:26:06
opposed to the outside. So, yeah, but think about think
00:26:09
about how she kind of grew up. She grew up bad.
00:26:14
Beauty was the most important thing.
00:26:17
How you look in your appearance is what What was important
00:26:22
that's why so many that's why the queen was using her
00:26:24
Services. That's why the queen would bring
00:26:27
her friends over to have her do this.
00:26:29
All she did was Taylor people. So to her appearances is
00:26:33
everything. Yeah, that's how she was brought
00:26:36
up that, you know, to fix it and make it look good.
00:26:40
But I mean now she has someone who's like you got dead.
00:26:43
No more. I got you.
00:26:45
I like the little analogy he made because he was like, what
00:26:48
did she say? She was like, I don't have Of
00:26:51
she said I can't tell you what this is like and I don't have
00:26:56
the strength, I don't have the strength to explain it to you.
00:26:59
He was like, I mean, I understand that.
00:27:01
But I understand still she was like what the hell does that you
00:27:08
have to talk to people in the language.
00:27:10
They understand right and and but you know and that's how he
00:27:14
understood. He was like look your beauty is
00:27:17
your arm. I understand that he was like,
00:27:19
but still that's What's in? You is strong and it can't be
00:27:24
broken and and it doesn't need fixing.
00:27:27
You don't need fixing to shoot. You can just see her melt and
00:27:30
I'm just sitting here like this. So sweet tell you, I was away.
00:27:36
I was a mess with this episode. There was just, there were so
00:27:40
many good moments David, and jenya wildin and Jasper until it
00:27:45
wasn't good and then it was good.
00:27:47
Again, we'll get into them too, but oh, But continuing on with
00:27:54
what's going on here with Elena and all of them.
00:27:57
So once bag or gets there, she kind of confesses to bagger
00:28:01
about the fact that she's been seeing Kerrigan through astral
00:28:06
projection and that she wants to break this connection and so
00:28:10
back or kind of encourages her. Hey, you have to be the one to
00:28:13
break this connection. Other than that, he's going to
00:28:16
be able to use it, you know, against you.
00:28:20
So she actually goes into this astral plane where they are able
00:28:25
to communicate. And she starts pulling the, I'm
00:28:32
going to take Lori's term Romeo pimp Pinterest, I don't know
00:28:36
what you want to call it. She starts pulling this, like
00:28:40
the Gustav talk to him about, you know, Go ahead, Mike.
00:28:45
Hey baby. I like it.
00:28:47
Hey, baby. I know you want to talk to you
00:28:51
real quick, how things have you talking and thinking about it,
00:28:56
David and I kind of like it this is it could be me and you baby
00:29:01
forever and ever baby. Whenever ghetto was just a young
00:29:06
baby. Yeah, she basically walks up to
00:29:09
him and she's telling him everything he wants to hear.
00:29:12
Yeah, you were right. There's nobody else.
00:29:14
Like us, I need someone, we could, we could they see with
00:29:19
space-age pimp playing in the background?
00:29:28
That would be epic. Oh my God.
00:29:30
I would never listen to the same way again, I hate you.
00:29:38
I will never listen to that song the same way again.
00:29:42
Oh my God. But anyway, so yeah, she's
00:29:45
walking up to him and, you know, she's caressing his faith and
00:29:50
all this other stuff and at first he was looking at her like
00:29:52
bitch what you doing? Then when she touched his face
00:29:54
who just kind. Of like, can we give in to that?
00:29:57
Oh, she's like, like, she's coming to me.
00:29:59
This is it? I've been waiting for her.
00:30:01
I've been patient and she's coming to me.
00:30:03
She finally admitted, that Mal doesn't understand what she's
00:30:06
going through, and it's just me because she takes his hand and
00:30:10
she, she grabs it, and she pours some of that light into it, I
00:30:15
guess, to dissolve, whatever connection they have, whatever
00:30:18
piece was remaining in him. And as at this moment, or during
00:30:23
this exchange, she In. She's in like a I guess it's
00:30:28
kind of like an underground Church.
00:30:30
So she's sitting in there where she's communicating with
00:30:34
Kerrigan. At this point Mal shows up and
00:30:37
nikolai's like where were you? I was about to send.
00:30:40
You know, I was scared. I was gonna have to tell Lina
00:30:42
you were dead. He was like, no I got taken by
00:30:45
first Army. Where is she?
00:30:47
And Nikolai was like oh she's safe and then all of a sudden
00:30:50
you hear rumbling and mouse in here looking like that don't
00:30:53
sound like safe that sounds like the ceiling is about - but it's
00:30:58
because as she's she's connecting with Kerrigan.
00:31:02
She's starting to lose control of her powers.
00:31:06
And Mal is sitting there like grabbing her trying to break her
00:31:09
out of it and she can hear him in the astral projection, but
00:31:12
she's still trying to do what she needs to do to break this
00:31:15
connection. So, finally Mao pulls her out of
00:31:18
this connection and she's hurt in the back of her head.
00:31:23
She's just hurt because she was almost close to severing it and
00:31:28
Maya pulled her out. So she gets Mad at mouth.
00:31:32
I'm like, I'm like bitch, not 20 minutes ago, you were worried
00:31:38
about him whether or not he was Dead Alive.
00:31:40
Where was he? Whatever.
00:31:42
Now, you mad because he broke a connection that he didn't even
00:31:46
know you had because you weren't being honest with him because
00:31:51
he's like, wait, wait, wait, you can make it tall.
00:31:54
You have a connection problem with both the connection.
00:31:57
Wait, what, right. He was like why didn't you tell
00:32:01
me what? I couldn't tell you because you
00:32:03
were gone. He was like um because I got
00:32:05
arrested by got kidnapped by first Army.
00:32:08
Vasily had me arrested for desertion and the look on her
00:32:11
face was He's like, oh, I was like seeing, here we go.
00:32:14
Again like Alina, I be trying to have your back but when it comes
00:32:18
to Mal, you treat them like trash sometimes like you know,
00:32:24
who we are. Realizing this relationship is
00:32:27
going like it's going to crash and burn and penis, and she's
00:32:31
dying in his arms. I told Robert already called it.
00:32:36
I called it. Last episode.
00:32:40
Yeah, but she's sitting there. She's upset and she was like,
00:32:44
she was like, what was it? She said something about them
00:32:48
being in lockstep, he was like hold up hold up.
00:32:52
Still you know oh that was what it was.
00:32:55
She was upset with him because she was like you're just putting
00:33:00
one foot in front of the other. Basically what y'all were
00:33:02
talking about in last episode, whatever name, whatever Lena is
00:33:06
saying, Mal does you know, and she's even like, oh, you're
00:33:10
sitting here doing all of this? Oh, Okay.
00:33:13
Stag sea whip, Firebird engagement?
00:33:16
Like you're going to walk me down the aisle and you act like
00:33:18
nothing's wrong and blah blah blah.
00:33:20
He was like of course or what'd she say and you act like it
00:33:23
doesn't hurt. He was like, of course, I was.
00:33:24
But what else am I supposed to do?
00:33:27
He was like, you are on a path that I can't even follow.
00:33:31
You're doing this, this, this, this miss.
00:33:34
It was like, you're putting yourself at risk, you know,
00:33:38
meeting with Kerry and trying to trying to break this connection.
00:33:42
He was like, I'm already doing everything that I can to try to
00:33:45
help you do what's right to do to, you know, get rid of the
00:33:49
fold to save Rascal to protect yourself.
00:33:52
I'm doing everything. That I can do.
00:33:58
And you keep doing other shit. He was like just he was like,
00:34:01
it's like nothing else exists and she basically was like, it
00:34:05
doesn't? He was like, okay, that's big.
00:34:09
I just made it. I needed to hear you say it.
00:34:12
Say less, right? And she tried to take my, he was
00:34:15
like, no, this is what you were meant for.
00:34:18
You were meant for greater things, he's going to also keep
00:34:21
him today, right? He was like all I can do is find
00:34:24
you to fire bird. That's all.
00:34:26
And that's basically all it is. Is I'm, I'm here to do whatever
00:34:29
it is that you need to do to be greater, whatever he turns
00:34:32
around and walks off. And she's sitting there upset
00:34:35
because she realized like, get out of put my foot in my mouth
00:34:38
again. She said, he and she tried to
00:34:40
grab it and bring back his too late now, he's gone.
00:34:43
He's like, oh, okay. I see where I stand.
00:34:47
Yeah. And you know, when you're
00:34:51
talking, I don't blame man. I don't blame Al at all.
00:34:54
I really don't know. And I don't I honestly don't
00:34:58
think she meant it in that way, but right now, she did not know
00:35:02
what I'm saying. Is, what I'm saying is, I don't,
00:35:05
I don't think that she said, that Mal is not important to
00:35:08
her. I don't think that's what she
00:35:09
was saying, but what was he said, was this is more
00:35:12
important. It is.
00:35:14
Yeah, mmm. And the thing is like, I, you
00:35:20
know, it because it's almost like she should have a
00:35:23
conversation with Carrie getting like, you know, here again, you
00:35:26
do you I'm just going to me a mad, we're going to go back to
00:35:29
the orphanage and we going to render or from the engine and
00:35:32
raised some kids just have at it you know saying just have a
00:35:36
daddy just just leave us alone this all-male wants.
00:35:41
Yeah but but the other thing is Mal knows that that's not what's
00:35:44
meant for her but as soon as that with me and for her I'm
00:35:48
saying yeah I know but I guess my whole thing is everything
00:35:54
that Mal has done has given up his sacrifice.
00:35:57
He lost friends, trying to find this fucking stack for you, at
00:36:04
least again, show him the courtesy of understand it.
00:36:08
How, how much you sacrifice without spoiling anything we see
00:36:14
this is that relationship later, you know, we see the same thing
00:36:19
later. This is how it's supposed to be
00:36:22
that how it is. And, I mean, yeah, and I also
00:36:26
think that this is a very troubling trend for Lena,
00:36:29
because she's getting more and more about saving grafica by any
00:36:33
means necessary. She's like all Malcolm X about
00:36:36
this shit now and it's like, she's like, she's like I want to
00:36:39
say Ralph come on, save it by any means.
00:36:41
And I don't care who I go through, I'm going.
00:36:44
And it's like, she's like laser-focused and blind heard,
00:36:47
about doing this, and getting what she wants that.
00:36:50
She like you said, I don't think she knew how what she was saying
00:36:54
to Mouse. It sounded but it's like she
00:36:57
probably had better intentions than the words that came out of
00:37:00
her mouth. But she was still like, you
00:37:02
know, I could have sent word that I we could have go and we
00:37:04
could have gotten the upper hand on Kerrigan and we could have
00:37:07
because one just blasted war and then that could have found the
00:37:09
firebird and then all the stuff I'm doing all this stuff and
00:37:12
you're not and you're not helping, you know, you're not
00:37:15
talking to me. It's like, cause I think she
00:37:17
really. I mean, she loves balance.
00:37:19
She was like, why haven't you been fighting for me War?
00:37:22
I think she wants him to fight more.
00:37:24
Like be like, no. What the hell is like?
00:37:26
No has almost died for her. How many times?
00:37:29
How much more fighting can you like?
00:37:32
Okay, so this is the thought that I had in my head that just
00:37:34
went out a few minutes ago Elena.
00:37:39
I feel like her sense of self-importance is getting to a
00:37:43
point where She in a lot of aspects of we talked about this
00:37:49
with the last episode in a lot of aspects.
00:37:52
She's starting to mimic some of cure, cure against personality
00:37:57
traits, you know? And and it's more than just, oh,
00:38:01
I'm the only person who can destroy the fold.
00:38:04
Yes, that may be well and true but you can't stand on this hill
00:38:09
alone. You have to have other people
00:38:13
behind you to help you think about it.
00:38:16
You wouldn't even be where you are right now, without a Mal,
00:38:20
without the crows without Nikolai.
00:38:23
Without all of these people who have been helping you every step
00:38:27
of the way. But for you to sit here and have
00:38:30
that self-importance that, oh, I have to be the one to do this.
00:38:34
This is the only thing that's important.
00:38:35
Yes, it is important, but don't burn your bridges on the way to
00:38:40
trying to Feel that prophecy because those bridges.
00:38:43
If you burn them you go fuck yourself up.
00:38:47
You know, and I just feel like she's not.
00:38:51
I think part of the thing is she takes for granted that Mal will
00:38:57
always be there. She really takes that for
00:39:00
granted you know, and and and I understand it.
00:39:04
He's always been there. There's been no precedent where
00:39:06
he hasn't been except for when they were being forcibly kept
00:39:11
apart. And even with that, her dumb ass
00:39:15
was sitting here thinking, oh, he, he Forgot about me.
00:39:17
Oh, he's mad at me because I'm Grisha.
00:39:19
Oh, he's not writing me. And what world is this?
00:39:23
That Mal would ever be like, oh okay, fuck this bitch I don't
00:39:26
want nothing to do with her. No, again we need to remember
00:39:30
that these aren't adults. These are young people,
00:39:34
everybody in this story is Young and life.
00:39:54
That is your best friend. That is your ride or die.
00:39:57
That is the person that y'all have always had each other's
00:40:00
backs. So it has nothing to do with
00:40:04
age. That's common sense.
00:40:06
There are certain things that are that are True in this world.
00:40:13
And for her, it should be that she should know that Mal is 100%
00:40:17
loyal to her period relationship or not.
00:40:22
Yeah, yeah. But I mean plus, I mean you
00:40:25
have, I mean, it's fair to say that the Dynamics of the
00:40:28
relationship have changed slightly now because of how
00:40:32
they've expressed her feelings for each other, and that's new
00:40:35
to her. So, the core of that is still
00:40:38
the same, the core of that has not changed.
00:40:40
Change. But she's figuring that out.
00:40:42
She's figuring that out. Now she did, she didn't know
00:40:44
that before. Okay, I'm I know you.
00:40:46
I know you do not take this as cute as an excuse, but I'm still
00:40:49
going to say it. She's young.
00:40:52
And as the, as the Elder spokesman here, in this, in this
00:40:56
chat. In this podcast, I'm Jay these
00:40:59
youngins don't know anything about this any of this
00:41:01
relationship stuff. I've been young before, they are
00:41:05
some things that you just know. It does still have the
00:41:09
experience like I mean, you're not any wave like various
00:41:13
something that necessarily not necessarily.
00:41:23
I can tell y'all, I can tell you, I don't read why a and
00:41:27
romance a lot know. There's a tell you right there,
00:41:35
your expectation level might be a little bit woman's intuition.
00:41:40
There are some things that, you know, and don't have to have
00:41:44
explained to you. Then why do so many women put
00:41:49
their best friends in the friend zone?
00:41:52
Noah, Goodwill. That's probably the person you
00:41:55
should be with. I hope he's he's like my brother
00:41:58
so no I don't see you that way because I take my blood type of
00:42:06
thing goes. Sometimes if you if you are in
00:42:10
a, if you have a friendship with somebody and you're not looking
00:42:14
at them in a romantic way at first regardless, yeah, there's
00:42:18
some people who later on down the line, they end up falling.
00:42:22
Love with each other. But if they like when you think
00:42:25
about Elena now they never discussed each other as.
00:42:29
Oh, he's like my brother. Oh, she's like my sister Because
00:42:32
deep down, they already knew that they felt different ways
00:42:35
about each other. They just didn't know that the
00:42:37
other person reciprocated. But when you have a best friend,
00:42:40
I have a best friend that I had been best friends with since the
00:42:43
start of my ninth grade year and we've never looked at each other
00:42:48
romantically. He's always been like a brother
00:42:52
When you start seeing someone in that way, to turn up for, at
00:42:57
least for me to turn around and try to look at them differently,
00:43:01
it feels very incest E, I can't do it.
00:43:04
But not everyone is just not. Even one is the same and I have
00:43:09
to allow for. Like he never had a girlfriend,
00:43:14
she never had a boyfriend and me being together all these.
00:43:20
Okay. I won't say he's had
00:43:21
relationship. Relations not relationship.
00:43:25
Yeah. What are you trying to get a
00:43:28
piece to somebody having relations with somebody?
00:43:34
You sort of know how this thing works?
00:43:37
We don't know that, we don't know the extent of what those
00:43:39
relationships were. He may have tried to have
00:43:42
relationships and then realized, oh, I can't be with this person
00:43:45
because I feel like this for somebody else, we don't know
00:43:47
because that's not an important part of the story, but what I'm
00:43:52
saying is, We've gone into the weeds as Anthony likes to say.
00:43:55
But what I'm saying is there are certain things.
00:43:59
That as far as their friendship goes, that Elena should know
00:44:04
without a doubt by this point, especially after he proved that
00:44:08
bullshit, you know, fate last year when she was like, oh you
00:44:13
you just forgot about me. You didn't you didn't write to
00:44:15
me. He was like, I wrote you all the
00:44:17
time. Like, I was trying.
00:44:20
I've been trying to find you since you left Camp.
00:44:23
I have crossed the country on feet.
00:44:26
I have been shot. I have been stabbed.
00:44:29
AB my two friends got killed, trying to find this fucking stag
00:44:32
for you. Like, come on now, there are
00:44:36
certain things that shouldn't have to be spelled out for you.
00:44:40
And one of those things is that Mal is your fucking ride or die.
00:44:45
Right. But this difference between, I
00:44:46
mean, I see, I think I still think you're giving her way too
00:44:49
much credit like way too much and I think you're not giving
00:44:53
them enough. Again, look, I can only Okay, I
00:45:00
can I can only see this as I'm putting this in the way that
00:45:04
Alina is acting. It's like she is not really, she
00:45:09
doesn't know she's not catching. Her is like when she was talking
00:45:12
to my laughter, he snapped her out of it, she couldn't.
00:45:15
She didn't, you couldn't catch herself and see and hear how she
00:45:18
was sounding. And but she just went off on him
00:45:22
and it's like now might be mature, might have might have
00:45:25
more experience to be a little more mature and can handle it
00:45:28
because he was like cuz he he wasn't really trying to engage
00:45:32
her like that but she was just going off on him and still
00:45:35
saying things that sounded terrible.
00:45:38
That sounded like didn't sound the way that she wanted them to
00:45:41
sound but she was still plowing through with it.
00:45:44
That's why I was saying that she is not experienced enough to
00:45:48
know that I need you. Okay, I need to pull back some
00:45:51
that didn't sound right, like she didn't even really tried it.
00:45:55
It seemed like she really tried to like walk anything back and
00:45:58
be like look that's not really what?
00:45:59
It to say she just went straight forward with it.
00:46:02
No she tried at the end when he walked off but I still think, I
00:46:06
think that. Yeah, yeah, but like Her
00:46:10
emotions when she first came out of this, that I can understand
00:46:13
that. Because she's right there, she's
00:46:15
almost, she's almost seven this connection.
00:46:18
And then when you see in the next scene with her and bad,
00:46:21
we're talking she's talking about how she can feel secure
00:46:25
again. She's like, every time I use my
00:46:27
power is like he has his hand on me, forcing me to use it.
00:46:32
So I can understand her agitation at not being able to
00:46:38
sever that link. And you know, like I said, Said
00:46:40
once Mao kind of put it out there he was I okay.
00:46:43
See that's what you meant. I just needed you to hear you
00:46:47
say it. So now that we know what page is
00:46:49
where on, we know that you are way over here and I'm way back
00:46:53
here and this is where we're going to be and he walks off
00:46:56
like she understands what she's what she said and what she's
00:47:00
done. But yeah, you know how?
00:47:03
No, she doesn't understand. She had been worried about my
00:47:06
old looking for mouth feverishly but when he snapped out of it,
00:47:10
This is her first instinct wasn't looking like, oh my God,
00:47:13
where have you been? I missed you.
00:47:15
It wasn't she was like what the fuck did you do that?
00:47:17
For, that was the first thing. She said, hush right.
00:47:21
Then her thing was she was trying to break the link with
00:47:25
Kerrigan. If you listened to the
00:47:28
conversation she had with bad words.
00:47:30
Not only is she trying to is she trying to sever this link from
00:47:36
curing like this actual physical link.
00:47:38
She needs to sever the men. Talika as well.
00:47:41
Here again is in her head. She thinks that everything about
00:47:45
her is because of him, she thinks that her being Grisha.
00:47:49
Her being told she was meant for great things.
00:47:51
These are all things that he told her instilled in her life,
00:47:55
she said he betrayed jenya, he betrayed Raska and back or had
00:48:00
to say to her and he betrayed you he violated you when you are
00:48:05
in a space even a headspace where somebody has that much
00:48:09
control over. Are what you do and how you
00:48:12
feel. Even though that person, the
00:48:15
other person who broke her out of, that is right there, she's
00:48:19
more. So, when she's coming out of
00:48:21
that, she's thinking, oh my God, I almost broke this, I almost
00:48:26
had him out and you don't realize how deep it is for her
00:48:31
mentally, emotionally until she has that conversation with bad
00:48:36
word. So, what I'm saying is I don't
00:48:39
blame her for not Not like when she sees that Mal is okay.
00:48:45
When she comes out of it, she still angry.
00:48:48
Because I think in her mind, when she was in the astral
00:48:52
plane, with Kerrigan, she heard Mouse voice.
00:48:56
Elena stop Elena, come back, Elena, come back.
00:49:00
She let me hurry up and get this motherfucker out of my head.
00:49:08
She just selfish. I think it part partly.
00:49:13
Yes, I do think that is it again.
00:49:16
I think her her sense of self-importance has started to
00:49:21
get up there, but I think also to she really, she really was
00:49:25
just Get cure again, whatever grip he has on her, whether real
00:49:31
or imagined, she's trying to get rid of that.
00:49:34
But she like, like you said, the way she reacted and is like, she
00:49:41
didn't realize until she said the wrong thing.
00:49:43
She was like, oh wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that, huh?
00:49:48
Okay. But it's a little, it's a little
00:49:50
too late for that now, but at least, I think he was able to
00:49:55
break through to her like, okay. So you doing all this dangerous
00:49:59
stuff, you going to have to cure again on your own.
00:50:03
That's not going to work. Like what are we doing all of
00:50:05
this other stuff? What are all of these people
00:50:07
dying for? If you're just going to put
00:50:09
yourself In Harm's Way without thinking of anything else to do?
00:50:14
And I think she realizes that when she goes to talk to Nikolai
00:50:20
and she gives him back the ring because you know, when he asked
00:50:23
her when her and mouth start having this exchange bagra and
00:50:27
Nikolai both in the room and when she goes off on Mal bag or
00:50:31
nickel, I kind of look at each other and they walk out the
00:50:34
room. They're like yeah we don't want
00:50:35
to be a part of this conversation.
00:50:37
So nickel I asked her. He was like, you know, is
00:50:40
everything okay with Mal? And she was like, he's never
00:50:43
walked away from me like that before.
00:50:44
Or, I don't know. And he was like, Mal loves you.
00:50:47
Anybody can see? I can see it.
00:50:50
And it's like, when he says that that's, that's the first time I
00:50:55
think anybody has said anything about love between those two,
00:51:01
and the fact that you have to have a stranger, tell you this,
00:51:05
because my, at this point, my lanolina have not said those
00:51:07
words to each other. Like it's very evident, but they
00:51:11
haven't actually said the words in the fact that Nikolai could
00:51:14
say, my loves you. I can see it.
00:51:17
And she's like, you know what? Yep, you're right.
00:51:20
Let me give you this ring back and he was like, Firebird she
00:51:23
was like yeah because again Mal is not going to steer her wrong.
00:51:29
He has not so far. So if he says, okay, we need to
00:51:32
go find this fiber so you can finally do what the fuck it is.
00:51:36
You need to do including getting rid of Kerrigan.
00:51:40
What else are you going to do? Like you.
00:51:43
She could have died trying to sever that time with him.
00:51:47
I mean you see her holding her head, she's got blood on her
00:51:50
head probably from when she gets when she smacked her head on the
00:51:54
floor. Yeah but it's like she's knocked
00:52:00
herself, unconscious doing that. Kerrigan could have killed her
00:52:04
the niche of or you could have gotten to her.
00:52:08
Stop stop being sold. So selfish, that is so hair,
00:52:14
hair, strong, that you just go into things without without
00:52:18
thinking. Again, you were a cartographer,
00:52:21
you are not a soldier, you don't know how to how to plan things
00:52:26
tactically, leave that for other people. but yeah, so she's gonna
00:52:34
go off and find a firebird and yeah.
00:52:44
That's called, let's talk about the crows a little bit because
00:52:49
wildin and Jasper are morning after Bliss.
00:52:54
They got the glow, they got. The glow has is having
00:52:59
nightmares in his bed because he's dreaming about the water
00:53:05
and waking up on the barge and touching the dead flesh of, you
00:53:09
know, of the people that were on the barge and, you know, he
00:53:12
wakes up and he's like, literally trying to scrub the
00:53:16
feeling off of his hands. And this is that's kind of hard.
00:53:24
I can't even imagine that happening.
00:53:25
Now. It's like laying in a barge full
00:53:28
of dead people. Including your brother like,
00:53:31
with with, with a, with a communicable disease where you'd
00:53:34
like popped out and I'm like, like I don't think God, I would
00:53:38
never feel clean ever again. No chance.
00:53:41
And then if you think about it you don't know how long those
00:53:44
bodies have been there. You don't know how long he's
00:53:46
been on that barge how long he's been unconscious?
00:53:48
Jesus and he probably had to swim to shore.
00:53:51
Yeah. But even before that the bodies
00:53:54
are wet, you see it. When you see his vision of him
00:53:56
touching touching, the stomach of one of the people, the, the
00:54:00
flesh is wet. Anything that we've learned in
00:54:04
science class about dead bodies. At some point, gas is going to
00:54:08
start expanding the bodies and it probably just felt clammy and
00:54:13
and moist and just grow. Okay?
00:54:16
Okay, okay. Okay,
00:54:29
I'm sorry, I said the f word but yes, Anyway, said a lot of words
00:54:35
that were just discussing their, hold you and you, and you, and
00:54:39
your, your description, your descriptive was religious.
00:54:42
But that puts you in the mind of Kaz, brecher and why he has this
00:54:47
phobia that he has, but it's it's right after that that they
00:54:53
get V the letter from Nikolai about finding the shin, your and
00:55:00
Toya and Zoya had finally, In there now, is so funny because
00:55:06
Zoya and Nina are sitting on opposite ends of the table and
00:55:10
they're having these conversations and Zoya is
00:55:12
accusing Nina of, you know, abandoning the country and
00:55:17
betraying and she was like, excuse me, it didn't take for
00:55:20
him to destroy a city for me to see where my loyalties needed to
00:55:23
be his heart was looking at her like bitch.
00:55:27
She was telling the truth. Nina was gone way before all of
00:55:30
that happened? She was like, yeah, I'm not
00:55:32
working for this day. Dude, anymore.
00:55:34
Deuces. But this is where they get the
00:55:40
orders as far as what they need doing.
00:55:43
And you know the mission cares is still being hard-headed
00:55:48
talking about knowing ish is not going to be a part of this uh
00:55:52
not a part of this Mission. Jasper was like, fuck you.
00:55:57
Yeah. In the words of the great
00:55:59
Pharrell Williams and I'm happy birthday by the way, he should
00:56:02
stop frontin. I mean he we know by now by now
00:56:09
it's like every time he says something about an edge not
00:56:12
coming back or an edge going away, we just look at them like
00:56:17
Really, and I even love it when they're Nina and Jasper are in
00:56:22
Anna's room because Nina is taking off the slave, symbol off
00:56:27
of Indonesia's wrist and Nina. I mean, imagine just like why
00:56:34
would he not tell me about this, you know about this job for the
00:56:38
sun? Summoner, and Nina was like
00:56:40
because he would rather push you away rather than admit how he
00:56:43
feels about you. And there's a just Both looking
00:56:46
at her like what is? She was like, oh, I'm sorry, was
00:56:49
I not supposed to say that out loud?
00:56:51
Just was like, I'm so glad you actually hit.
00:56:55
Okay. So like they'll start talking
00:56:57
about snarky Anthony? Could that was the perfect?
00:56:58
No. No.
00:56:59
It's something else. Can we just can we step back for
00:57:02
a second? Mmm.
00:57:03
So, Now Nina and her powers because now she's removing it.
00:57:12
She's changing the tattoo, okay? Yeah, no.
00:57:16
So she's the heart of render. She was trying to do healing in
00:57:21
the last episode you. I will know.
00:57:23
Maybe she was using like regular medicine.
00:57:26
No, I think she was actually doing some healing.
00:57:29
She was trying, you know what I thought about that when I watch
00:57:32
this episode again, because if I remember from the first season
00:57:38
they all, are they all can do like certain things that other,
00:57:44
that other Grisha can do, like, certain things within that.
00:57:49
Skill set. But it's just the one thing that
00:57:52
they do that they are like the experts on.
00:57:55
I think. I remember something about that
00:57:58
in the first season. Okay.
00:58:01
So yeah. So yeah.
00:58:03
So maybe the court is it corp, corp.
00:58:06
Corp, Rocky. Yeah.
00:58:08
So how renders father that category I believe?
00:58:12
Maybe be all if you're in that category, you have the ability
00:58:17
to do certain things. I think we talked.
00:58:19
About this before because it's how it is with, with, with Jedi
00:58:25
because some do that are good at other things and I'm not get it,
00:58:29
some things like they're did, I bet he'll but they really can't
00:58:34
do anything else. Like foresight is something some
00:58:39
Jedi have some degree of foresight, right?
00:58:42
Anakin was pretty high, you'll was pretty high Obi-Wan's.
00:58:47
Okay, but he's really good at sea.
00:58:49
In Blaster Fire coming at them. Like this is like ranges so
00:58:53
maybe heart. Renders is just a specific
00:58:57
subset type but you can still do a little bit of healing but you
00:59:01
really got to work at it and some of them may not have to
00:59:04
work at it as much. Yeah.
00:59:06
Because if you think about it to janya saying what she did early
00:59:11
in this episode genja is a Taylor which is Ina sorta, which
00:59:16
is like a Healer but not Is there a big difference between a
00:59:21
supposedly because Jiang Yan has made mention a couple of times
00:59:26
that her particular type of Grisha?
00:59:28
Power is extremely rare. Yeah, like she can actually
00:59:31
alter a person's appearance, hmm.
00:59:34
But if you can change, someone's physical properties then you
00:59:39
should be able to heal as well. Hmm.
00:59:42
So is with tattoo out of the tattoo removal would be more
00:59:45
more tailoring than healing. I think it will be It's the same
00:59:50
like you're healing the the scarring from the tattoo because
00:59:56
you still see like you still see this line of it too?
01:00:01
Yes. Had to remove the ink or
01:00:03
whatever. Yeah and if you think about it
01:00:06
like I said with genja when she told David how she found them
01:00:10
she said bag or Amplified me so that I would look for familiar
01:00:14
heartbeats you would think that's something a heart render
01:00:17
would do. Yeah.
01:00:19
So, she has to be all have if you're in that area, you all
01:00:23
have that sort of range. Mmm.
01:00:27
Yeah. Girl, you just really good at
01:00:29
something and not is getting something else, right?
01:00:32
You look at it. If you look at a book wise,
01:00:34
they're like Missy laughs. Please Harold.
01:00:37
They all have a basic, but then they move up and skill set on
01:00:40
different ways, that they can do different things.
01:00:42
So, I see them as Harold like. But I agree that a tailor and a
01:00:49
A Healer are pretty much basic except for you know, as they get
01:00:54
a higher skill set. Now my question I had with with
01:00:58
with her is that her face is horribly?
01:01:03
Scarred. Can't she Taylor herself?
01:01:08
No bag with says, so in the last episode because when you first,
01:01:12
when we first seen genja after she's regained Consciousness,
01:01:16
that's what she's doing, she has her hand over her face and Bag
01:01:19
with says, there's no sense in trying to tailor that girl,
01:01:22
Marie, that that's car was created by MERS owes.
01:01:25
You won't be able to fix it. No amount of tailoring will be
01:01:28
able to remove that. Okay, so A Healer could maybe he
01:01:33
lit a little no because if you think about it just like with
01:01:36
Kerrigan Jenny was able to take away some of it but the rest of
01:01:41
it she couldn't and she said that that that's that's the
01:01:44
extent of my Powers. Okay?
01:01:46
Okay. Okay okay.
01:01:48
I remember Ever saying that now, but I didn't catch what the full
01:01:54
meaning of it, I guess so. So my next question is, is okay.
01:01:58
So you're talking about familiar hearts and you're talking about,
01:02:01
you know, how they can sense in the Amplified, if, if she can
01:02:07
sense. David does that mean that David
01:02:10
could possibly if he was searching for her?
01:02:12
Remember she was looking for him, he could sense her because
01:02:16
he's a, he's a, he's a Gasps. That's an I think that's a
01:02:20
different that's a different classification so it wouldn't.
01:02:23
Okay. All right, I don't I don't think
01:02:25
or you know what I will say this, maybe that's one of those
01:02:30
things like. Okay.
01:02:31
So if you think about it like let's say in the military, okay?
01:02:36
You can be in the military, everybody who's going to be in
01:02:38
the military is going to get basic first aid skills, right?
01:02:42
You're going to get basic, whatever skills and then
01:02:46
depending on what branch you're in.
01:02:49
Like somebody in the Army is not going to be able to fly a Jet
01:02:53
right? You know somebody who's flying
01:02:55
the jet is not going to be able to man, I sub right but I think
01:02:59
about it on those levels like there are certain things that
01:03:01
they all can do. Like, maybe they can all heal to
01:03:05
a certain degree like basic first day.
01:03:08
Maybe they all can hear heartbeats.
01:03:12
They may not be able to control them like a heart render, but
01:03:15
there may be certain things that they all can do across the
01:03:18
board. But I don't think so.
01:03:21
I don't think that I don't, it doesn't seem like I have to go
01:03:25
back and read because I think they do talk about something to
01:03:28
that nature about. How about how the skills are
01:03:33
Amplified within each person. I'm going to have to look at
01:03:37
that and see his in. There were Saints at that would
01:03:40
be similar to Compound V. And the boys boys, because they
01:03:49
all have their healing Factor, they all are durable.
01:03:54
They all have like a base level thing and then they have
01:03:58
specific individual Powers. Hmm.
01:04:01
But it seems like this is very much like I hate using avatar
01:04:07
The Last Airbender as a reference point but like Earth,
01:04:12
you know, even within earth. People who can who, how why is
01:04:19
this gaping me now? Earth-based Benders you've Earth
01:04:23
Benders like tough. Could Bend metal, not all
01:04:28
earthbenders can do that. Hmm, you know, and they're water
01:04:32
benders who can be in blood. Not all would have been
01:04:34
described as you're right, but don't have earthbenders who can
01:04:39
move water a little bit, you mean, but at some point, Is all
01:04:45
Spirit bending because we find out.
01:04:47
You know, spoiler it is all spent Spirit bidding and then
01:04:52
some went in a different direction and others.
01:04:56
Anyway, this new, the end of it so I don't, I think they're all
01:04:59
Silo this far as heart renderers and duress.
01:05:03
But duress is not going to have any abilities that are hard.
01:05:07
Winter will have and re-renders not going to have any abilities
01:05:10
dressed app. Now, if you would say, they had
01:05:12
things like, you know, Exhale, really hearing Healy for
01:05:17
themselves maybe, you know, a little bit of durability because
01:05:22
doing a small Sciences requires a little bit more dexterity a
01:05:25
little bit more strength, little bit more bone density.
01:05:29
Okay, looks like that sewer but the actual small science is,
01:05:34
they're probably not any there probably isn't any crossover
01:05:37
then the individual will be overpowered imagining it being a
01:05:41
derp ass and able to heal or able heart render a little bit.
01:05:46
You be a problem. Yeah, that's why I said I don't
01:05:48
think it's something that will be major like if I can see being
01:05:53
a Grisha and being able to heal like a minor cut, you know
01:05:59
nothing. Nothing expensive, something
01:06:02
just minor. The fact that jigna said bag or
01:06:06
had to amplify her so that she can hear Davis heartbeat, you
01:06:11
don't have too many human amplifiers and there aren't even
01:06:14
that many. Any a animal amplifiers out
01:06:17
there. So that's not something I would
01:06:19
expect everyone to do. Maybe if bagger was with David
01:06:23
and David wanted to look for something that she might be able
01:06:26
to amplify that because she, she kind of she amplifies, you know,
01:06:33
so even even things that they may be able to do in a minut
01:06:37
way, she might be able to amplify that little power or
01:06:42
whatever to A minimum point to, you know, to a baseline point to
01:06:49
where they could do that. But without her, it's probably
01:06:51
just kind of one of those things kind of like, it's kind of like
01:06:54
me being a mixed person. I have all these this DNA, and
01:06:59
then I might have, like, 1% over here.
01:07:03
If there were something that can amplify it, that's probably,
01:07:06
that's how it kind of how I look at it.
01:07:08
Like they're bad. Girl would be the thing that can
01:07:11
amplify that little one percent of whatever.
01:07:15
Our aggression may have yeah fit and that's I guess it's where we
01:07:19
disagree because I don't even think it Durant's will have any
01:07:22
ability to since anybody's heart beat.
01:07:24
Like, I think this strictly core because the core, the core pero,
01:07:30
aquà seem to people who can do with the body things that you do
01:07:34
with the body. And the duress is things that do
01:07:36
with metals and objects and stuff.
01:07:41
But if you're because like for Fabricators are direct Like
01:07:45
they're all the same but if you think about it one technically
01:07:50
speaking, the heart, the blood has Metals in it.
01:07:54
We have Metals in our body. Well there's metal in it.
01:07:57
Yes. But uh yeah but yeah I can't but
01:08:00
I can't feel you know we're talking a weird smell, we're
01:08:04
talking about specifically about hearing the heartbeat, think
01:08:08
about Jesper. When he was focusing the bullets
01:08:12
to Ivan, he was listening for items.
01:08:15
Heartbeat. No, he was sensing the weakness
01:08:18
where he hit him the first time in the in the armor.
01:08:22
He could tell where was it wasn't his heartbeat?
01:08:26
You sure. Yeah that matter was okay.
01:08:30
I'm have to go back because I think maybe I'm thinking about
01:08:34
the other because there were a couple of fight scenes going on
01:08:38
during that sequence, but I thought that there was a part of
01:08:42
that but you might not understand what I understand
01:08:44
what you're saying is this. I don't think it's likely that
01:08:48
that that would be bad, wouldn't really fit in the way.
01:08:52
I would see her, how I would do the magic or the small Sciences,
01:08:58
right. Okay.
01:08:59
By the only only thing that would be different is I would
01:09:02
say, because of the nature of bagra and Alexander, that they
01:09:06
may have a little bit of everything because that's
01:09:10
probably why they can do the Shadows.
01:09:13
Okay, is this kind of weird aberration.
01:09:16
You and I wouldn't be surprised if Elena Elena could do things
01:09:22
like heal because of the kind of Sumner, she is something that
01:09:28
would just like this extraneous. Rare thing, maybe assistant,
01:09:32
they're just combinations of all the other things together at
01:09:36
once. Yes, I am saying, yeah, like I
01:09:39
wouldn't be surprised if they could do all those other things,
01:09:42
but I would be surprised if the rats could do.
01:09:46
Ringer is stuff like listen for heartbeats.
01:09:48
Okay, anyway, we're in Louisiana.
01:09:50
Yeah, we are but that's okay because that just that just
01:09:53
tells me that what I need to do because it has been a while
01:09:57
since I've read the book I do want to go look that up and just
01:10:00
see, okay. So how is it that the Grecian
01:10:03
pow'rs work? What, you know, what is it that
01:10:08
each Grisha can do like are there things that they can do
01:10:12
that are attributed to other Grisha.
01:10:15
So yeah. We We'll go into that.
01:10:18
I'm going to look that up, and then we can discuss that further
01:10:22
in a future episode. But so anyway, you're calling
01:10:26
her calling her angrily. No, no, no.
01:10:33
So, going back to the crows, and Nina healing, and Edge, and all
01:10:38
of this other stuff. So, in Nash, basically makes it
01:10:43
known that she is about to go on this Mission and Cass does not
01:10:47
look pleased about it, but like she said, she was like, I'm not
01:10:51
here for you. He looked so hurt when she said
01:10:54
that, she was like, I'm not here for you.
01:10:57
I'm here for the sun Summoner and I'll buy my own passport.
01:11:02
He was. But I'm telling you man, I'm
01:11:07
cares, she's like an M&M what I said right?
01:11:13
Not everything's the other things that At our.
01:11:17
Well, there's one thing that's funny in the same and that's the
01:11:20
fact that and you see this throughout the whole episode, I
01:11:24
think Nina and Toya are going to be best friends because they
01:11:28
always got some fucking food in their mouth.
01:11:30
They're always eating, they're always enjoying themselves with
01:11:33
food and I just think it's the funniest thing because people
01:11:37
keep saying stuff to them or giving them looks like they're
01:11:40
trying to embarrass them or they're telling them, can you
01:11:43
please stop doing that? Both of them looking at each
01:11:45
other? Like, Whatever.
01:11:47
I'm about to sit here and enjoy myself.
01:11:50
The other thing is we find out only by accident that while in
01:11:58
is illiterate, And it's because so bad about that.
01:12:05
That's almost like somebody out in somebody for being gay is
01:12:08
like, that's such a personal thing for somebody, especially
01:12:11
somebody sold as smart as he is. It's like, because you everybody
01:12:16
can't do what he does, like he, he can do stuff that, a lot of
01:12:20
people can't do, and it's even more impressive, when you think
01:12:23
about it, because he can't read. Yeah, he learned all that, just
01:12:26
by learning it and like, by not reading it, it's like import.
01:12:30
Jasper Jasper, like just it off and comedies like oh fuck.
01:12:34
Yeah and and it's like, the more he keeps trying to, the more he
01:12:39
keep trying to make ya fix it throughout the episode.
01:12:43
It's almost like he just digs the hole a little bit deeper and
01:12:48
he's not doing it on purpose. It's like, when you realize that
01:12:52
about someone, sometimes it's hard to know the right thing to
01:12:56
say and what he thought was really Something that, you know,
01:13:01
he thought it was something that was okay.
01:13:03
Like all the fact that you were able to do this without being
01:13:07
able to read without you know not saying it like that.
01:13:10
You know that means you're clever and smart and why Island
01:13:13
who is probably heard. There's so much in his life he
01:13:17
kind of tasted as patronizing and condescending and Jasper.
01:13:21
At one point, does not know how to fix it.
01:13:24
And then later on you kind of see the thing in reverse because
01:13:30
Cuz when Jesper since Weiland down and he's just basically,
01:13:34
like look, this is nothing to be ashamed of it was like, oh,
01:13:37
you're going to tell me how to feel about my shame?
01:13:40
When you are hiding, the most important thing about you and
01:13:42
just for was lucky, he has a smart.
01:13:46
Well, my pretty face, I wouldn't he was like, no, the fact that
01:13:49
your Adder ass like you did this, you did that.
01:13:52
You you fixed your gun. I've seen you shoot, you fix the
01:13:55
piano wire. Why would you hide that?
01:13:59
He was like yours. Many Ximena always, you know
01:14:02
they feel like being a Grisha is being blessed.
01:14:05
Why would you hide that part in? Jasper was like because it's not
01:14:09
a blessing, it's a curse in you don't know what it has cost me.
01:14:12
And I was like, oops and I think it was one of those moments
01:14:16
where while and was like, oh now I know now I see how he's been
01:14:20
feeling trying to you know, like you you think you're saying
01:14:24
something to someone that is a compliment or that is to be a
01:14:28
comfort or that is supposed to make Them feel better like, hey,
01:14:32
I see that you're a Grisha. That's an awesome thing, you
01:14:36
should be proud of that and not hide it.
01:14:38
Oh, but guess what? I lost because of that, we find
01:14:41
that out later and I think it's one of those things were wild
01:14:44
and is like, oh, so this is how he's felt when he's been trying
01:14:48
to compliment me and I've been kind of biting his head off, so,
01:14:53
you know, they walk into that house with both of them, kind of
01:14:56
on Shaky Ground but Even before we get to that, we find out that
01:15:02
Miss Shayne your vests in the temple.
01:15:04
Is a copy. It's a fake they do find out or
01:15:08
I should say cast, does find out who has the real one or who may
01:15:14
have the real one. So apparently it's owned by
01:15:17
someone called the disciple and he has a fence that has you
01:15:22
know, been listening some of his personal collection.
01:15:24
So their their plan is to me. The fence, you know, Nina and
01:15:31
Kaz, they pose as a married couple, which is very funny to
01:15:35
me various and in mashes Up on the Roof.
01:15:39
Trying to make sure that everything goes okay, with this
01:15:41
fence, she ain't stupid at all, but she realizes that they're
01:15:47
thieves. She realizes that, let's just
01:15:51
say, I know a thief when I've been around long enough to know
01:15:53
a thief, when I see if I've worked with enough, Steve's to
01:15:57
no one But the interesting thing about that, the whole start of
01:16:03
that thing, one of the things that I like is when they first
01:16:08
get to the city, there is a temple and I guess there's like
01:16:13
it's kind of like a day of remembrance or Festival of
01:16:16
remembrance. So you see Toya, you see and as
01:16:19
you see Zoya all standing at this altar like thing, and
01:16:24
they're each saying their prayers and remember Bring their
01:16:28
loved ones in different ways because they're all three from
01:16:31
different cultures. And I love that they show that
01:16:35
like, yes, these three people are from all all from different
01:16:39
walks of life, different cultures.
01:16:41
They're all different types of people but they have this one
01:16:46
thing in common in common and they can they can each do that
01:16:51
and be respectful of the way. The other person does it without
01:16:54
it being a big deal. I love that because we don't get
01:16:57
that a lot in this. This world, you know, again
01:17:03
showing showing the inclusivity that that young adult literature
01:17:07
has which actually which actually is pretty cool because
01:17:10
what a lot of shows that we watch are based on why
01:17:13
literature and a lot of like, weevils black Miller time, for
01:17:15
example, has a lot of inclusion in it, like land.
01:17:19
And that just is, that's really cool.
01:17:22
Because it shows that that young adults actually want that as far
01:17:26
as what they're reading it. It's like they want to see stuff
01:17:30
in the stuff in Reading their literature like they want to see
01:17:33
in the world so I think that's pretty cool.
01:17:35
Yeah, yeah. But when Nana and K as they go
01:17:40
to meet this, the fence one of the things that cast does at the
01:17:46
beginning, he tells them. Okay.
01:17:48
So this is how we find her. We have to go to this particular
01:17:51
tea shop. We have to order this particular
01:17:54
T off-menu. That's how she will know that we
01:17:57
are there for a purpose. Particular thing.
01:17:59
And the funny thing is Nina is neither is hell a literate and
01:18:06
she speak? I don't, I can't remember how
01:18:09
we'll just did she say she speaks is she she's probably see
01:18:13
all of them, right? Because she ordered she was she
01:18:17
shows that she can order the T in the Chute language and Tall
01:18:21
your kind of perks up and he starts talking to her and shoe.
01:18:24
She's like, yes, tell me more. I was like yeah they're going to
01:18:26
be best friends. They're That they're going to
01:18:28
eat all the time and they're gonna sit there and and do the
01:18:32
fighting and doing the translate.
01:18:34
Like I can see her and told you're being very good friends.
01:18:37
Yeah. Like shouts shouts and sell to
01:18:40
Nina being a total foodie. They say I wonder if it's going
01:18:43
to have what does he's going to have like floral notes?
01:18:45
Or there's a dance is like if you drink it.
01:18:53
It's tea, she says she sent me. Of course, she's a food because
01:18:57
she eats all the damn time, so it's like she knows exactly what
01:19:01
everything tastes like, cuz she eats everything, right?
01:19:04
Right. But it's one of those things
01:19:08
where you remember watching this scene now, where Nina and Kaz
01:19:13
are meeting with the fence and they have this custom.
01:19:17
When you drink tea, you know, you touch your fingertip to the
01:19:20
T, you touch your forehead, you flick, you flick the Extra
01:19:23
moisture off and then you touch your forehead and Nina does it?
01:19:28
No problem cats? However, it does not.
01:19:32
And she kind of calls Kaz out on it.
01:19:35
She was like, so, again Nina introduce them as husband and
01:19:39
wife she was like so does your husband have a problem with my
01:19:42
countries cultures or my cultures customs?
01:19:46
And I was like, okay Kaz you're you're about to be looked at as
01:19:51
being our equivalent of a bigot or racist or you know whatever
01:19:59
you better do the damn thing. And when Nina kind of presses
01:20:03
him about it, he takes off his gloves and he does the thing and
01:20:08
you can see and he does that extra flick with the water.
01:20:11
I was like, yeah he don't want none of this shit touching him,
01:20:15
none of it. I mean, chefs out to him for for
01:20:18
sucking it up and doing it and not doing it with the glove on
01:20:21
and be like. I half expected him to do it
01:20:24
with the glove one to be like, but because that that would have
01:20:29
been. Yeah, I think that would have
01:20:30
been disrespectful to the culture and like Nina said we
01:20:34
came all this way for this like I don't know what your issue is
01:20:39
but you need to fix it. Now what I do realize is that in
01:20:43
this scene once we see what happens in Nash is fully aware
01:20:47
of what his His issue is because what happens is once she
01:20:53
realizes that they are thieves. She signals, I guess one of her
01:20:58
servant girls and when cast gets up the woman, waist tea on him.
01:21:03
And of course, he starts flashing back to the water, he
01:21:06
turns around, and he's on the table, he's like
01:21:08
hyperventilating and Nina grabs his hand, and she was like,
01:21:13
Brecker just breathe. When she touches his hand, he
01:21:16
has the flashback to when he's touching the Everybody on the
01:21:19
barge, he panics he runs and he starts bumping into people and
01:21:23
every time somebody touches him, you kind of see those flashes go
01:21:27
in and out of his mind and then all of a sudden, you see an ash
01:21:31
pulling him into an Alleyway. And she sits him down and she
01:21:35
backs off real quick. And he turns and he sees her and
01:21:40
it's almost like he gets embarrassed and almost in the
01:21:44
same breath. He gets upset, you were supposed
01:21:47
to tell her. She was like I couldn't leave
01:21:50
you not like this and then she puts his gloves next to him and
01:21:55
she and she leaves. So I was like, oh okay.
01:21:58
So she is aware of what his what his triggers are.
01:22:02
And again I think Anthony you were the one who said it if she
01:22:06
pays half as much attention to him as he pays to her, she
01:22:11
probably knew it and just never said anything because if he's
01:22:14
not going to say anything why would you bring it up?
01:22:17
You know. But she knew enough to Like oh
01:22:19
shit. I need to go help him and she
01:22:22
got, she got him out of that crowd.
01:22:23
She got him in a place where he could kind of collect himself
01:22:27
because he had a complete freak out.
01:22:29
Oh my God. Yeah, we completely, like, we
01:22:33
never seen him like that ever. And I know that definitely and,
01:22:39
you know, him in the clinical world, you realize that he has a
01:22:43
serious serious problem because it will totally interfere with
01:22:48
his Day-to-day life, mmm-hmm. Like those gloves are his
01:22:54
crutch. Hmm, yeah.
01:22:56
Yeah. I mean, just like Laura said in
01:22:58
the last episode 2, she was like, she was like a pecker
01:23:01
Rollins knew that about cast. So she could have killed, he
01:23:04
could have killed him easy any number?
01:23:08
Yeah, any number of people, as they even had an inkling that he
01:23:12
was like that they would have removed him years ago, but see,
01:23:16
here's the other problem with that.
01:23:19
He's putting himself out there because For the first time in a
01:23:22
long time, You know, it's not just a job anymore.
01:23:24
They want to actually help so as he interacts more and more with
01:23:28
people, and not just the crows and not just keter.
01:23:32
Damn, maybe he'll start to come out of it a little bit more.
01:23:36
He has interaction with people because sometimes, if you're
01:23:39
stuck in the same area, the same people, the same thing, whatever
01:23:43
phobia you have intensifies, but as you get away from it may be a
01:23:48
different environment can help. So he might actually without
01:23:51
thinking about it, get better. Better down the line.
01:23:55
I mean, does that make sense? It does and it's like I you know
01:24:01
I just kind of wonder what therapy is like in this world
01:24:04
because he definitely needs that.
01:24:07
I don't think it it doesn't exist food and wine and maybe an
01:24:14
opinion, maybe the confidence of good friends.
01:24:17
I you know we're kind of confidence.
01:24:21
You talking about you talking about I'm talking about like,
01:24:25
Jasper, Mesh like what you're talking about.
01:24:27
I thought some out the Menagerie you know those confidence of
01:24:31
those do because now because if cats can't even if he if he is
01:24:36
to the point where he struggles to even just touch and mash with
01:24:41
a cloth so that he can help clean up a womb.
01:24:45
You best believe Cass. Cass has never been intimate
01:24:48
with anybody. I can I can probably tell you
01:24:50
that without a fact. Oh no specific.
01:24:59
Okay no, no, yeah. I know some people probably do
01:25:01
go to the Menagerie for, you know, whatever ails them but you
01:25:05
did not. Didn't someone say that before
01:25:08
in this show. I don't know if I'm confusing my
01:25:10
shows but they guys are just go to those places just to talk
01:25:14
sometimes and that's how a lot of these guys get their
01:25:17
information. A lot of the people like the
01:25:24
woman who was in charge of the money.
01:25:25
Sorry, I can't remember her name, constantly.
01:25:28
Remember she had a lot of influence because you probably
01:25:31
use some stuff and the same thing with Pekka Rollins.
01:25:35
You know, you kind of learn things about people when they're
01:25:38
in those places because there is a little bit of therapy that
01:25:42
goes on. This is a person I can talk to
01:25:45
in the quiet of this place and I have to worry about it.
01:25:48
Going anywhere else, right? So, this is something repea.
01:25:52
Yeah, it's just like the champagne room in a strip club.
01:25:56
There's also I would know anything about that.
01:25:59
There's also monasteries, there's also religious places
01:26:03
where if you're feel comfortable enough, maybe they can go and
01:26:06
talk that might be their type of therapy that they have in that
01:26:09
world is a monastery religious order.
01:26:11
Yeah. Well, the convent, we just go to
01:26:12
the convent and do what you do it not or brick you into a cell
01:26:19
and stuff like that and all her stuff but that that that would
01:26:24
probably be the only time. Of therapy that they probably
01:26:27
have, unless they go to different areas other than where
01:26:32
they're at. And maybe find that there's like
01:26:34
meditative practices somewhere else, or there's a different
01:26:38
approach. I mean, I don't think that he
01:26:41
can go do yoga to, to chill out. Okay, let's just put it that
01:26:45
way. Yeah, yeah.
01:26:48
But okay, we're running law. So let's get to it.
01:26:51
Let's get to the important part. So of course, they have tracked
01:26:58
the fence to our house. They know where her routine is
01:27:01
going to be like for the evening.
01:27:02
So what they decide to do is Nina and Zoya have to team up,
01:27:06
they're going to track her, make sure she doesn't go back home.
01:27:11
Jesper wildin Kaz, Toya and Dinesh.
01:27:16
They're going to go to the home to try to steal the sword
01:27:19
because they believe that's where she has it.
01:27:24
So they break into the home. And the home is booby-trapped.
01:27:30
It's a tribe. They get stuck in the house and
01:27:34
there's a gas there that basically knocks them out.
01:27:40
It causes hallucinations and it is killing them.
01:27:46
Now the triple whammy and IQ out hallucinations and is killing
01:27:52
you. I mean, Alicia, well, I guess
01:27:54
depending on the loose Nation, either die really happy or
01:27:57
really badly either. I mean, you know, you have a
01:28:02
good, a good whose Nation or a bad trip.
01:28:05
So, let's talk about these hallucinations and toys sits
01:28:10
down and starts doing breathing exercises.
01:28:12
It kind of reminded me of Harlem Nights when Danny Aiello has
01:28:15
character was in Say they were like take deep, take little
01:28:18
bitty breast like calm. Yeah, the rest of them are
01:28:27
having some issues though because like, yeah, triple
01:28:30
whammy but before all of that, we are talked about the fact
01:28:36
that she got the drop on Nina. And I was sitting here looking
01:28:42
at. This is hand like if you kill me
01:28:44
now, I'm coming through this TV for you.
01:28:47
Me too. I was like Nina and Zoya are
01:28:50
tracking her through the market and they don't want to be
01:28:56
working together as it is, so Zaya takes off and she's
01:29:02
tracking the lady. First of all, I was like Zoila,
01:29:04
you're not being subtle enough. Like anybody with half a brain
01:29:09
would be able to tell that somebody is following them and
01:29:12
she comes around the corner and old chick is gone.
01:29:15
I was like, yeah. Y'all back to being.
01:29:18
Yeah, about to be fucked up. I was not expecting.
01:29:22
Her to get the drop on them, the way she did.
01:29:25
I was like, oh, this bitch can fight like there has to be
01:29:31
something more to who she is, because you have the house tract
01:29:37
which yes, that could be because of the sword.
01:29:40
But I was also starting to feel like, okay.
01:29:44
Is she the disciple? Because she knew that she was
01:29:49
being followed. She probably knew they were
01:29:52
coming to her house that night, especially if she had already.
01:29:55
Deduced, that they were fees. She was probably expecting them
01:29:59
like oh okay. They're about to try this.
01:30:01
Yeah. Okay.
01:30:02
Well, she knew that they were going to try to follow her to
01:30:04
find out where she lives or whatever, the tracker the see
01:30:08
where she's, you know, you didn't take anyone with half a
01:30:12
brain and her situation to realize, you know, to be able to
01:30:17
pick out a person following you. Mmm.
01:30:20
Right. Especially if it's somebody that
01:30:24
y'all are in a city that you've never been to you probably stand
01:30:29
out, and she probably has contacts all around that City.
01:30:33
Like, yo, they're over here that way if we will see an employee
01:30:39
of the disciple. And if you want to talk to the
01:30:41
disciple, you have to go through her.
01:30:43
Then she's probably going to be a force to be reckoned with.
01:30:46
It is very sad for the trust her enough to do that or to be You
01:30:50
know, the gatekeeper if she's already proven that, she's very
01:30:54
insightful by being able to tell that they are that they weren't
01:30:58
married at first and no one knowing that they were full of
01:31:00
shit. Initially, there's like, you
01:31:02
know, that there's, you know, that she's going to be paying
01:31:05
attention to every to her surroundings at every moment.
01:31:08
So there's like, nope. If you look a calf and you look
01:31:12
at Mila, you know, those two motherfuckers is not Mary.
01:31:16
What did she say? I always thought courage.
01:31:18
People were a little more affectionate.
01:31:21
No nina was like oh but when we're alone, he's all hands.
01:31:26
Aren't you waffles? But I tell you he's looking like
01:31:39
a decrepit. Old man fitting their proof.
01:31:42
Do! Y'all are not Mary?
01:31:44
I'm so sorry. When he's got bruising on his
01:31:48
face and that doesn't help like he already looks mean.
01:31:52
It would have been better if he was taught to Toya and her then
01:32:00
you could do. They might be married, you know?
01:32:02
Yeah, yeah, I can see that, especially considering how well
01:32:06
we see they get along so far the chemistry like, literally, From
01:32:10
the moment, those two groups met she was like, oh God, he was
01:32:14
sharing food with her and she's taking my shoes like.
01:32:18
All right, dried squid. Before I feel God, my God, he's
01:32:25
gonna kill me. I've given away all my dried
01:32:27
squid, I really do. Yeah, that's okay.
01:32:30
He's for me, he's formulating friendships, I'm telling you him
01:32:34
and Nina. They're going to be besties.
01:32:36
I feel it in my soul. But yeah.
01:32:39
So anyway, like I said, the fence Koval is her name.
01:32:43
She gets the drop on Nina, but Zoya comes to the rescue a
01:32:47
little bit late now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:32:58
But I mean it works. She's okay.
01:33:02
Now they just have to go find Kaz and I'm a rescue down
01:33:05
because like I said there's a there's a very Were in the air?
01:33:10
Yeah. Oh sad.
01:33:11
No hazama pass out. I wonder how many motherfuckers
01:33:14
Nina has killed by pretending to be dead?
01:33:18
Yeah, I mean like you think you got her?
01:33:21
Oh, you're a spy. You started choking her out or
01:33:23
she's dead. You turn your back in the next
01:33:25
thing in there. Yeah, here the afterlife.
01:33:31
Yeah, you might don't sleep on the other people, you feeny's
01:33:33
all nice and cuddly and cute, but I don't lose by for carrying
01:33:38
a hoot. That she murdered
01:33:50
the same. But anyway, the last the last
01:33:53
thing that we see in the episode is when everyone starts passing
01:33:58
out at the house passes last one fall and when he falls backwards
01:34:03
to the floor, we see him Splash into some water.
01:34:06
And that's when I said hallucination.
01:34:09
Yes, he's pulled out of the water by his brother.
01:34:14
His brother was like, did you think that was it?
01:34:17
Did you think I'd go away so easily?
01:34:19
Do you think you were going to get out of this so easily?
01:34:21
And he pushes cast back into the water.
01:34:24
And then the episode goes off, I was like, oh, so we were talking
01:34:28
about Kaz and his trauma. This is not going to do anything
01:34:32
to help. If anything, this is about to
01:34:36
make it ten times worse. Sit back, man.
01:34:43
It's not like he's been making progress.
01:34:45
So I would say it's been a little bit of progress just
01:34:53
because You know, him admitting to Jasper or Jesper.
01:35:00
Putting the idea out there, that, oh, you were going to say
01:35:03
that you can do this job without me and that, you know, we like
01:35:06
brothers and brothers sometimes fight, but at the end of the
01:35:08
day, we have each other's backs and calves was like, yep.
01:35:11
That's what I was. But that didn't require any
01:35:13
tension. It's not as well.
01:35:16
Let's see, that's good. I don't think the touching is
01:35:19
the only thing that he needs to work through him, opening up to
01:35:22
people him. Getting close to people him.
01:35:26
Just letting his guard down a little.
01:35:28
We didn't see a lot of that in season 1.
01:35:31
And I feel like we're starting to see a little bit of that and
01:35:35
season to Granite is not by choice, I don't think, but the
01:35:40
fact that he is showing some vulnerability to his crows, I
01:35:45
think that is progress. Even though it may not be a
01:35:49
progress that he's initiating, it is there and it's giving them
01:35:54
the opportunity. Help him because Kaz also is not
01:35:58
the type of person who's going to ask for help.
01:36:01
Well, he's not going to make any progress in any like that is a
01:36:08
little bit of cognitive, but if he can get himself to
01:36:14
emotionally, open up to people, it might lead to him, being able
01:36:19
to touch people. I don't think that's possible.
01:36:23
I think the only thing he is speaking, you know, no only
01:36:26
thing is going to work for him as exposure.
01:36:28
He's going to have to be exposed to touching people and until he
01:36:34
does that he's really could have a hard time opening up to people
01:36:38
because it's like turning his back on and there's he wants
01:36:44
her. He can't look at her when she's
01:36:47
like that because he wants to touch her like he can emote with
01:36:51
her. All he wants to but as long as
01:36:53
he's not You long as he has an aversion to touching people.
01:36:59
He's not going to let people in any further than me already.
01:37:03
Yeah, like, you know he can see those things to to Mom just for
01:37:09
desperate but he's not going to give him a big sloppy hug and a
01:37:12
kiss is this is not going to happen.
01:37:14
Yeah. Yeah you can't even look at it
01:37:16
and there's she saw a little bit of Flesh.
01:37:18
He can't because his urge to touch her is like really really
01:37:23
a problem for him. Yeah.
01:37:26
Yeah, and and I don't, I don't even know if cognitive therapy
01:37:30
work for him because he's his intelligence level is too high.
01:37:35
You just have to throw him and make him strip down and throw
01:37:37
him in a room full of bodies. And people will arrive them and
01:37:42
just force him to. Now, that's, that's not how the
01:37:46
I like have to do a little bit of the time, like, we have to
01:37:52
cut out little holes in the fingertips of the glow.
01:37:56
Of freaking touch people and we work from there.
01:37:59
Yeah. Ain't no cutting holes.
01:38:03
You guys start with one? No I'm you don't have to start
01:38:07
with one and a half to be the smallest hole to allow for the
01:38:13
least amount of 44 and the with therapy in him.
01:38:16
But or we have to him, Miss gloves, and we have to start
01:38:21
them off with a really fine Miss and as we go along.
01:38:25
Along. We're going to do a larger and
01:38:28
larger mesh because at least he will still have the feeling that
01:38:32
he has gloves on, so we have to do that.
01:38:36
Yeah, but, yeah, cash, he definitely needs some serum,
01:38:41
he's really gonna need it after. After them, a little bit of
01:38:44
cognitive therapy, we will have to throw a little bit
01:38:46
cognitively. Really exposures probably going
01:38:48
to be the best friend. Yeah, this will guide him in the
01:38:50
situation is probably the only way we're gonna get him out.
01:38:53
Yeah, that's true. Hmm.
01:38:57
Oh okay, so we can hit shrink as in the next episode because I
01:39:02
know that's good. If that's how you start out
01:39:06
this. This hallucination, that's not
01:39:09
good. And not at all, not at all
01:39:13
because in, there's PTSD, throwing them are too bad.
01:39:16
That's that just compounds the issue and now your dead brother
01:39:21
speaking to you, like oh you thought you thought you were
01:39:25
going to get away from. Me, you thought it was going to
01:39:27
be this easy? No.
01:39:30
Like and fix them in the wall. I was like Kansas is going to be
01:39:35
so much more fucked up after this.
01:39:38
Like so now we then then we're gonna have to also give him some
01:39:42
coping skills to deal with the PTSD to just, he's got a lot
01:39:47
going on. I just want to wrap him in
01:39:50
bubble wrap and then give him a hug because he needs it.
01:39:54
He really does. And like I said it's so weird
01:40:01
seeing Freddy Carter played this character so well the way that
01:40:05
he does because every time I see him on a video he's laughing and
01:40:09
smiling. Like I just I just finished
01:40:11
watching before we started recording, they released the
01:40:16
season to blooper reel, on the Instagram Channel, and he's just
01:40:19
laughing and smiling and making jokes.
01:40:23
And it's just yeah. Yeah.
01:40:28
Wrap my calves up in some bubble wrap and just protect him at all
01:40:32
costs. Yeah, he's so cool.
01:40:35
And I love how you use this like way different than he really is.
01:40:38
Like as far as like being being who he is and being cast as like
01:40:44
those are two entirely different people.
01:40:46
Hmm. Yes it's amazing.
01:40:49
So because Jasper's basically the same person in real life in
01:40:53
and he really is he's just exactly the same while into Here
01:40:59
meets assuming is different from an edge.
01:41:02
Because where's the nearest kind of?
01:41:05
I won't say she's hard. But yeah, in a sense she is hard
01:41:09
and she's very, she's not very, not a very happy person because
01:41:16
she has this, you know, she's basically she's afraid.
01:41:19
She's an assassin. She deals with all this serious
01:41:21
stuff and amides assumed as she is.
01:41:24
So funny in real life is she's also one of those people she
01:41:28
Gets very, she is embarrassed very easily.
01:41:30
She's always doing this. When people are talking to her
01:41:34
when she gets a compliment like she gets like, she's so sweet.
01:41:37
So it's like, yes, it's interesting.
01:41:39
Watching them in real life and then seeing them on the show.
01:41:43
Like wow, y'all are asking your asses off for real.
01:41:47
So I'm sorry. Sad note for those listeners who
01:41:51
are in the therapy thing, I'm not a therapist.
01:41:55
I do know the exposure and cognitive He are used for PTSD.
01:42:00
It's just that I think his phobia of the touching we can't
01:42:04
have to do with that as a serpent issue.
01:42:06
Yeah. Yeah.
01:42:08
We're going to do the exposure and cognitive therapy to work
01:42:12
through all of that. The poor child the same.
01:42:16
It's going to make sure I don't want people to think.
01:42:18
I don't know what I'm talking about.
01:42:22
Right. Oh yeah.
01:42:25
I have any other thoughts on this episode.
01:42:29
That was a lot. There's a lot going on.
01:42:31
There's a lot. Like, after the first two
01:42:34
episodes, they have been zipping along.
01:42:36
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie, the rule of the
01:42:40
fourth episode and now we're in the five has helped out the show
01:42:44
because I was, will be worried episodes one to him.
01:42:48
And, and most of the three, I was really worried about your
01:42:50
show. I was really trying to figure
01:42:52
out how I was going to make. Oh yeah, we didn't talk about
01:42:56
Pekka. Oh yes, you're right.
01:43:02
Pekka, he is a hell, yeah. He's, yeah, he's Alpha you
01:43:07
through. I think it's interesting that
01:43:11
now, you are a prisoner in in the prison where you were
01:43:15
controlling and paying off the guards.
01:43:19
All that's about to pay off that now.
01:43:22
Yeah, because he comes into the ring or not the ring.
01:43:27
They do have a fight but it's not the rain.
01:43:30
He comes to the center of whatever.
01:43:32
This this law area is and Mattias is roommate.
01:43:37
Comes out and holds his hand out.
01:43:39
Like he's welcoming Pekka. We caught, because of cellmates,
01:43:44
that's my roommate. Yeah.
01:43:59
Okay. So when Steals and 11 steals the
01:44:09
summit Isis, cellmates comes out, holds out his hand to Pekka
01:44:15
because the guards have just, I'm like the Guards that you pay
01:44:19
are now throwing you face down on the ground like oh yeah, oh
01:44:24
how the mighty have fallen right?
01:44:27
Supposedly. So when he pulls him up, he has,
01:44:31
is it a rock that he's like, holding something up against
01:44:37
Pekka's neck and he's telling everyone like oh my brother
01:44:41
Damien which is, which was his previous cell, mate?
01:44:45
You know fell. Because of the orders of this
01:44:49
guy. So basically, he has an ax to
01:44:52
grind with Pekka, which most of the people in that prison
01:44:55
probably do, but Pekka lets it be known real quick.
01:44:59
I ain't the one. He pushes that dude on the
01:45:03
ground, he picks up the rock that he had puts it in a guess
01:45:07
at there was a pillowcase out there.
01:45:09
Something he starts bashing but he's brain in, bashing his face
01:45:14
in and then when he's done with The Rock, he finishes Off With
01:45:18
His Hands. He gets up and he was like I'm
01:45:22
just letting y'all know. I a Corrales I am not about to
01:45:26
get killed by some random ass fool.
01:45:29
It was like y'all can either work for me or I'll kill you.
01:45:33
You decide how you want this to play out.
01:45:36
Now the other prisoners are holding Mattias back because
01:45:39
he's trying to help his cellmate.
01:45:42
And once the fighting is over, he goes over to the guy.
01:45:46
And when I tell you, I was like I just got a good look at his
01:45:52
face. When I watched it again tonight.
01:45:55
I didn't realize that his I was closed up to the point, but you
01:45:59
can still see the inside of his eye because it was just that it
01:46:02
was, I was I was like, okay, this is like maybe almost on the
01:46:08
level of Walking Dead Glenn when he got his face smashed in But
01:46:15
Mattias is trying to get a doctor to do was like, nope, he
01:46:18
was like, don't do this. He was like, what did he say?
01:46:21
Make sure I'm very under, the roots of ash tree, so that jail
01:46:27
will accept me. And he said, you have to live
01:46:30
your life for you. You have to, you have to make it
01:46:34
count. Basically, telling the sighs.
01:46:35
Look don't get stuck in here. Figure out what you need to do
01:46:40
and do it. and the look that Mattias gives pecker at the end
01:46:45
of that I was like this should be some shit cuz he about to go
01:46:51
after Pekka. He's not, he's not going to go
01:46:54
out to pick it and then taking that going to mess with him
01:46:57
because picking them want that smoke.
01:46:59
But pakka has to pecker, has two other people in the in the
01:47:02
prison behind the Vives. Watch this motherfucker with the
01:47:07
cannibals ass. So then I gonna fuck with him
01:47:11
either. Like, we like you're picking.
01:47:13
Yeah. You did not pick a bit.
01:47:15
We're not about to jump this dude over here.
01:47:18
You can, you know, he's, he's good at long.
01:47:21
See a mess with us. We're good.
01:47:23
I think pink is going to have to, if pick who's gonna have a
01:47:27
problem with him, which he really shouldn't.
01:47:29
Other than, I mean, that was a cellmate.
01:47:32
Oh, no, he's gonna have a problem with them because you
01:47:35
have to remember, Pekka knows who Mattias is Lena, matthijs is
01:47:44
a new pic, is he significance? Mattias ain't I'm saying, I
01:47:53
don't understand about my tiger, he from his proof from his
01:47:58
perspective. You didn't really is not much of
01:48:01
anything. Now, Peckham me be thinking,
01:48:04
just do me. Come after me for some reason,
01:48:06
but I don't, but he would have to I don't think it's going to
01:48:12
be that pack of knows who Mattias is because of Nina and
01:48:17
Nina is, the reason part of the reason his ass is in.
01:48:20
Hell Gate. Now Mattias is on his radar.
01:48:24
I guarantee you that, right, but he doesn't, he doesn't really
01:48:28
have any reason to go after Mattias.
01:48:31
He doesn't have reason to go after it like okay.
01:48:33
But highest knows Nina. Any of those with ice.
01:48:36
He's over everything about Mattias, but when Pick a does
01:48:40
this have anything to do with? With Mattias.
01:48:46
Mina is the reason Pekka is in Hell Gate right now.
01:48:50
So I know. So did you need to give me the
01:48:56
kill with highest? Yes.
01:48:59
Just to get back at Nina. Yeah.
01:49:01
So yeah, that that's going to be a problem, either way.
01:49:06
I don't care where Pinker says to me.
01:49:09
I ain't fucking with that dude, because he went to Canada.
01:49:12
Was an actress right period. I'm sorry, figure out, ya know,
01:49:20
we'll see how that goes, but yeah, I have I have a feeling
01:49:23
that one speckle realized like Pekka's in there.
01:49:27
He's my tires, especially one. If he sees Mattias like we saw
01:49:31
Machias looking at him and we saw pecker, kind of look towards
01:49:34
his Direction. I don't think he was looking
01:49:36
Looking at Matias because Matias was over the now dead body of
01:49:40
his cell mate. But if he sees Mattias over that
01:49:44
cellmate that he just killed and nobody else is paying attention
01:49:48
to the cell. Mate, he's going to know, okay?
01:49:51
So this guy was important to him.
01:49:53
However small that importance was he at least cared enough
01:49:59
about him to go over there while he's dying.
01:50:01
Hmm. This is also the boyfriend of
01:50:05
the heart render. That just fucked me over and
01:50:08
sent me here. Peggy, be his research, after he
01:50:12
figured out what was going on, which, I'm sure he did.
01:50:15
He knows that she's a reason that Mattias is in there.
01:50:19
And so, the smart thing for him to do is be like, hey, I know
01:50:23
she put your ass in here and she really didn't try to get you
01:50:27
out. Join me, and we figured a way
01:50:30
out of this. Yeah, if you help me out, I'll
01:50:32
help you out and we can get revenge on this beach.
01:50:35
They put us both in. In here.
01:50:38
You seem like you see you have to realize this.
01:50:41
How pick a things? Yeah.
01:50:43
Do you thinking on how I can turn all of this to my
01:50:47
advantage? He's already the big dog in the
01:50:49
prison. He was a big dog out.
01:50:51
He's a big dog in. We have a whole history in our
01:50:54
world of mafia boss is running things from the prison gang
01:51:00
leaders. Really things from the prison.
01:51:03
Why shouldn't Pekka be any different, right?
01:51:07
Yeah. Oh, and he obliterated that man
01:51:11
that poor man's face. Like he, my question is, why did
01:51:17
you think he? I mean I know I said it in the
01:51:20
last episode. Hell Gate is for the worst of
01:51:22
the worst, but still, why did you think that you was going to
01:51:26
run up on Pekka Rollins? And come out the Victor in that.
01:51:30
I mean, maybe he was thinking okay, you know what all these
01:51:33
other folks in here are probably in here because of Pekka, he
01:51:37
probably thought he was going to have some help now, I think he
01:51:41
thought. Yeah, the drop on them.
01:51:43
Is this that he couldn't be can close the deal, you know?
01:51:49
Maybe he was 10, 15 years younger, he made had may have
01:51:52
had a shot, but maybe but Pekka, was definitely in better shape
01:51:57
than him, and pick a hat. And also pick is a man who at
01:52:03
some point, his life didn't have anything to lose.
01:52:06
Like he had nothing to lose and everything to gain by killing
01:52:10
this man. That's true.
01:52:12
So that's true. Because noticed, like, the
01:52:14
guards, nobody came. Nobody stopped them.
01:52:16
It was just kind of like, Oh well one less mouth to feed.
01:52:21
Or we got one, we lost 10. Well call it even.
01:52:30
So yeah, that was episode 5 and now we have three episodes left.
01:52:35
They have a lot of ground to cover but I don't think it'll be
01:52:39
a problem especially with the way they've gone these last
01:52:42
couple of episodes like they are moving through the story.
01:52:45
Now, I will say this So I'm wondering what they are changing
01:52:54
from the books to the screen, because at this point from where
01:52:59
Elena and Nikolai, not all of them are, you know, they're in
01:53:02
these caves. It looks kind of like, you know,
01:53:05
church pews that she's sitting on at this point in the story in
01:53:08
the book, The apparatus makes a reappearance and it becomes this
01:53:13
really weird. Really weird cultish type thing
01:53:20
where you know there are his followers and they are
01:53:25
worshipers of the sun Summoner to the point where they're
01:53:28
keeping Alina captive because she's weak, and there was like a
01:53:33
whole fight between her and cure again that has not happened and
01:53:37
I don't think will happen. So it's gonna be interesting to
01:53:39
see if they're not going to do this part of the story, that's
01:53:43
in the books, how they're going to change it.
01:53:45
And I know they probably We will just because of the fact that
01:53:48
right now, they even have the twins separated and the twins in
01:53:52
the books were part of this. I won't say they were part of
01:53:59
the cult, but they are also worshippers of Santa Elena and I
01:54:06
think they were working for the apparatus at some point and then
01:54:10
they stop working for him and they were completely loyal to
01:54:13
Elena. So it's going to be interesting
01:54:15
to see what They do with the story moving forward.
01:54:18
Like I said we only have three more episodes left.
01:54:20
And if they haven't done that, At this point in the show, I
01:54:24
doubt if they're going to do it. If they do a season 3 and maybe
01:54:27
that'll come in and season 3, however, they do that.
01:54:30
But I'm just I'm curious to see what direction they're going to
01:54:34
go with with the rest of their season.
01:54:37
So any final thoughts. Yeah, this was they put add a I
01:54:46
didn't think about it until we almost forgot about pick a
01:54:49
Rollins. They packed a lot of shit into
01:54:52
this episode. Did finger like, they're like
01:54:56
four or five different storylines going at the same
01:54:58
time in this, but she didn't feel right?
01:55:01
But you didn't feel rushed and it didn't feel like anything was
01:55:05
was lacking or being missing, you know, that they were all
01:55:11
pretty. Ernst.
01:55:12
So they got a lot because of, you know, having the limited,
01:55:18
you know, episodes, but I'll give them this.
01:55:21
They really, really move the story ahead a lot and I enjoyed
01:55:27
it thoroughly. I really, really enjoyed the
01:55:30
next episode which I have notes on but this episode and I didn't
01:55:34
get to talk about episode 4 but episode 4 I thought was
01:55:38
absolutely brilliant and I loved how they got.
01:55:41
Pekka, I love how they used the kid, and I think I just, I was
01:55:47
sort of sad when it ended and I was like, hello halfway point.
01:55:51
So yeah. Yeah.
01:55:54
I know, I wish you were here yesterday.
01:55:55
I was like we could we could have just we could have leverage
01:55:58
that episode out. I was like, man.
01:56:00
I miss my homie. Yeah, a lot of Leverage
01:56:04
references in that for that episode.
01:56:06
A lot of Leverage. I got leverage episodes.
01:56:08
Episode 7. Not 66 is are Bending or bending
01:56:12
in. General 7 is leverage.
01:56:15
Yeah, yeah, they're piecing replacing again, is Ben has been
01:56:19
really good. Everything has been really good.
01:56:22
It's much better. They learned a lot of lessons
01:56:25
from last season. Hmm.
01:56:27
You know, as far as far as how everything is done.
01:56:30
So yeah, like I said, episodes, four five, great.
01:56:39
All right. We'll we'll see where the rest
01:56:40
of this season is. Going to go.
