FEATURING WHO AS WHO?

Milena

"oh I wonder what we might get this epis-" *sees cast list* HELLO????

Pippa

OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING NOBODY PANIC

Pennywise

When the latest episode drops but the hospital WiFi is too slow to play it 😤😭

ash4367

This episode is awosme!!

Rural Bibliophile

Guys, maybe give a little more context on the Big Bad to Sam. Like the entire body swapping thing.

mora!

WHAT. WHAT. WHAT.

Pia K R

oooooh my gosh!! I wonder what significance the voice connection will turn out to have, there has to be *some*!

schwa

Well. Fine with all that. No vomit happened in my mouth at all when I saw the cast list. No sireeeee.

Lena!!🤍

THIS EPISODE IS INSANEEE OMG IM GOING CRAZY

James Rule

I was wrong about them burning all the old tapes. Oh I am so glad at how gloriously wrong I was. Beautiful.

Quinn Anderson

It's so cruel that these come out fortnightly, I need these episodes like I need air

EmilyAnne

Awww the birthday tape survived 😭

Jenny Rii

Did we just get confirmation that JMJ is John, Martin, and Jonah?

Rural Bibliophile

Confirmation, no, but that's certainly the strong implication to me as well.

dr. penny pepper 🥀

Due to the format of TMA we're not really present for most of the relationships that develop between the characters (not a complaint i love that structure) so all said and done, it was sort of easy for me to believe Basira took an extremely pragmatic outlook to things and destroyed all these tapes. The idea of her being sentimental about them and keeping them is kinda shocking but also immediately makes sense, and in a way feels more touching than if Georgie kept them.

Cally Williams

I love old tapes. Yay for Sam’s good memory!

maxwell

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Anthony&

no dont tell him, what could possibly go wrong…

Anthony&

ghhhhhhhhh oh my GOD, i know beth eyre is always incredible but that was VISCERAL😳

Lena!!🤍

I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS!!!! i'm so happy his birthday wasn't forgotten🥹

Lena!!🤍

I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS!!!! i'm so happy his birthday wasn't forgotten🥹

Nebula

I AM SCREAMING ATVTHE CAST WOT

Nebula

itll be a tape wont it

Gareth Green

DO THOSE CREDITS DECIEVE ME?!

Milena

Hearing them not as Chester and Norris but as Jon and Martin again........ I couldn't NOT burst into tears 😭😭😭

Milena

it really was insane!!!

Pennywise

This was worth the wait! The strands are connecting 🕷️

Gareth Green

And it appears that the Archivist IS Beth’s old character!

Kristsune

AAHHHH this was SOOO good. Ugh that starement. that name is familiar!!!!!! And the MUSIC ugh. What a delicious treat just for us.

Kristsune

Oh just noticed nico edited this one. I can imagine he was delighted about editing this cast list 🥰

Sarah O'Donoghue

I am SO glad I didn't look at the cast list before playing. ARGH THAT WAS A MASSIVE AND WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!!

RedDedZombie

Jonathan Sims as Jonathan Sims, who is the same guy but also not the same guy.

RedDedZombie

Anyhow, top notch performance by Beth Eyre, really fun to hear the origin story and the parallels with Freddy at the OIAR. Great to hear Jonny, Alex and Ben again in non-computer voices. Would love to hear Sam going all DOOM guy on the archivist (I live in hope)

Linny / k. l. e. o.

This might be one of my absolute favourite statements, and the little bit with Jon and Martin hit hard

Hannah Eiserman

Screaming so hard about the Martin poetry snippet that I completely forgot the world implications of Sam hearing that voice for the first time

dr. penny pepper 🥀

Like I'm never doing that again. I don't know why or how bc I rarely check it but today I was like why do I feel something in my gut...lemme check... I should have waited and enjoyed the surprised feeling 😭

Lo

FEATURING WHAATTT. MARTIN WAS JONS WHAT!!!!!!! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

Milena

sobbing at the fact this is the first time Jon appears in the credits as Jon and not "the Archivist"... AUUGHHHH

CJ Briggs

WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK, NO. Why am I caught up? I can't do another two weeks! 😭 I may or may not have actual tears in my eyes from hearing our boys on that tape from simpler times. Why would the girls not mention the VERY IMPORTANT THING about Elias?? Of course the voice wouldn't be the same! They knew, right? Am I misremembering that they knew? Ahhhhh! Fantastic episode, also, Beth Eyre, that statement was WONDERFULLY done.

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

Excuse me while once more I say: SAM BABY YOU'VE HEARD OF JONATHAN BLOODY SIMS BEFORE. Oh, this man makes my shitty memory for names look eidetic.

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

Same! Because the episode usually just get pulled to my feed I don't even read the notes until it's over. It made it even more shocking!

fromgloriousjupiter

Finally, he knows them. Also damn, that statement was kind of a read!

Zeros2040

*sees cast list* EXCUSE ME?????

Space Modulator

*a scream only dogs can hear* *faints ecstatically*

Valerie Kaplan

That, alas, seems unlikely to me. Lucia Wright (who didn’t seem particularly old) gave her statement in 2008 and asked Gertrude “Why tape recorder? Why not digital?”, whereas the Archivist here refers to “her pathetic, aged eyes” and “her weak, failing ears,” so she was already getting old when she was… catalyzed, and this has to have taken place well before 1999 and it seems like they were using a tape recorder for the experiment because that’s just what was in common use at the time. (Also nothing about her sounds particularly like Lucia aside from her voice, although admittedly nothing about her sounds particularly different either.) Perhaps a relative?

Dylan Roberts

I'm starting to think TMP will never come close to the heights of TMA. I still love TMP but the episodes just don't bite like TMA.

Banana

Gorgeous, Beth Eyre is amazing- makes a disconcertingly sympathetic Archivist

Sara Cafiero

I am SCREAMING from every cell in my body

Julia Diem

The disrespect for Martin's poetry continues and I love it.

Heather MacKenzie

Did I just get emotional over hearing Martin's bad poetry? Of course not. 😭

World’s Largest Ball of String

just finished and i’m gonna go back and listen again. as a long time fan of TMA, i feel like this is the single most important episode lore wise maybe ever ??? FREAKING OUT FREAKING OUT I LOVE YOU BETH EYRE I LOVE YOU JONNY I LOVE YOU ALEX

Amari Vega

Oh goodness, or John, Martin and Jurgen!

Jenny Rii

!!!! I hadn't ever thought of him!!!

Jenny Rii

Agreed. Badira wanted something to remember. Solid evidence that they existed.

Amari Vega

Well I was wrong about RedCanary, but it seems they somehow were affected by this Archivist.

Amari Vega

Also, THEY recognized who the archivist is? Or only that it WASN'T John?

Mother of Ferrets

I'm pretty sure they knew, but now I'll have to relisten to TMA to double check .. what a hardship!

CJ Briggs

Oh nooooooo, my condolences! You know, I might relisten too. Y'know, for solidarity.

Mother of Ferrets

I think it's that we don't get so much Jonny. His voice for TMA statements was just *perfect*

Mother of Ferrets

To be fair I'm crap at names so would probably do similar!' 😂

Nova

I love how sassy Sam is 😂

Savannah Hughes

Bit behind but OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!! SCREAMING BECAUSE I’VE BEEN WAITING *SOOO LOOOONG* FOR SAM TO HEAR JON AND MARTIN!!!! Also- they know who the Archivist *is*? Not just that it’s not Jon?!

Rurrie

AUGUSTUS IS JONAH CONFIRMED!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! And Sam finally recognising John and Martin 🥺
