The Gunslinger, Chapter 2: The Waystation, Parts 1-7 (Patreon)

Hi there, Patrons! I can't wait to hear what you all have to say about this episode, because hot damn do we go off on some tangents! There's a lot to talk about here, because we covered 7 whole "chapters" and there's so much going on that I don't quite understand yet. 

This section starts out on the lonesome journey of the desiccated Gunslinger as he limps his way over the desert. He just manages to get to a little clump of buildings before passing out, and this odd little boy is taking care of him. I mean, he seems odd right off the bat, but as we grow to hear more about him it's even weirder; both because he as a character is so bewildered, and because as he tells the Gunslinger where he's from I suddenly realize that this story doesn't take place on Earth at all. At least, not the Earth I have grown up on.

To top it off, the Man In Black is slowing down for some reason that the Gunslinger doesn't understand, and it's making me super nervous. I don't like it when the enemy is doing something and the protagonist is just clueless about why, because it makes me feel like he's helpless. Which, to a degree, he is. But I don't want to be reminded of that, dammit.

I really hope that you all enjoy listening, and I will see you later today with His Dark Materials!
