Grace 'Gengar' Soria

This episode is just a treasure trove of funny moments. Ennui brand soda. The Antichrist +1, Georgie going murderous on the tape recorders and the things just reappearing. So much awesome.

Rurrie

"why is there a tape recorder here?" "Oh yeah we just brought the avatar of the world's destruction home with us; don't worry about it" I'm sure this'll go fiiiiiine

Rurrie

"another Nightmare Strider?" oh lord XD Jon getting *genuinely* offended about "he doesn't seem holy" was a bit scary. Being the antichrist going to your head, is it?

Possumcat

when is Jonah/Elias coming back?

DapperCyborg

Wait this is today? Fuck yeah

Lilmouse

The cat is safe :') (it's sad but what a relief!!!)

Jester

oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!!

Sam Symonds

I am LIVING for everything in this episode

Abigail Espinoza

Melanie and martins friendship is mlm and wlw solidarity

Julia Cameron

that scene made me so happy like just bonding over the difficulties of dating during the apocalypse

Lurkin

Oh great stuff! I've missed this so much. What a great episode, so many excellent moments.

MuddyHippy

I LOVE that Martin recognises Celia but hasnt said anything yet! Brilliant return to previous characters! I am absolutely unprepared for the final 10 episodes and I can't wait!

Akidachi

it is SO refreshing to finally see georgie apologise for how she treated jon during s4 i am THRIVING

elizabeth p.

Thank goodness for The Admiral update (amazing episode , but we must focus on the important things 🐈 first)

twigletsaregreattoeat

Another great episode but also a step nearer to the last one ever. Both happy and sad 🤗😪

cecilfae

i love martin and melanie's conversation in this so much -- so much solidarity

Striker Flynn Massrider

OH I missed this. HELLO TEAM (both real and fictional). Also it’s so good to hear familiar voices in Magnus!!! I didn’t know if they would make it in beyond the trailer!!

Meg Taylor

This is absolutely delightful and precisely what I needed to improve my day. Thank you.

Romilly

Jon's little "after you" when everyone meets up and is shuffling about is such a tiny little bit but it's so GOOD I'm love him

sAZAndorable

This was WONDERFUL... Each character felt so human, I love the multiplicity of point of views and feelings. All the performances were so great. So much going on, so many threads to pick up. Georgie vs the tape recorders was an excellent moment in so many ways. And I'm DEAD at Melanie and Martin, started crying from how much I love Melanie, that was SO good, cute but also so sad, so much. What a good character and what good voice acting.

Carolina Martins

i knew he was going to make the Admiral go all weird!!! geez!!

Julia Cameron

can you remind me which episode she showed up in previously? I have trouble remembering voices!

LainyJP

Such a great episode! So happy yet terrified that it's back. I do have to say, I really appreciate the inclusion of the transcripts. I have not been dealing very well some days and seem to be more sensitive to horror in a way that I never have before. Having the option to skim through the content to see if I can manage hearing the episode is comforting to me. It gives me a choice on whether or not my mental well-being is sufficient to listen while removing the anticipation of what is going to happen. I know I'm not the only one who feels like this, but I wanted to thank you.

gojo fujoshi

This episode was so pure and happy and wholesome. This is the most frightening thing you could have done. I Don't Feel Safe

gojo fujoshi

I wasn't sure either, so I did some googling and found that Lowri Ann Davies played Lynne Hammond in episode 100- the young woman who kept waking up to see the ghost of a lady on fire, but mostly just wanted money. Martin took her statement, so it makes sense that he'd recognise her- not sure if that's significant or just a cute easter egg...

Nicole

The admiral! Honestly not what I expected but like live your life I guess at least he’s not being tortured

bramblepaws

JONNY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE ADMIRAL also "i'm the antichrist +1" oh my god this episode is absolutely superb. just chock-full of extremely good character moments.

Julia Cameron

oh my gosh the one he tried to give money to? I think that's a great easter egg for him to pause when at hearing her name! thx!!

Lurkin

Every conversation in this episode is GOLD. There is just so much going on!

James Cunningham

Yeah, prey animals are kind of already living their own nightmare world. It makes sense that cats would be little avatars of the hunt — I say this as a lover of cats who is sometimes conflicted by their status as obligate carnivores.

a-human-shaped-space

I'll be honest this makes me more scared, and depending on how their followers find out the truth about Jon, whether they'll feel that his ability to destroy other avatars and monsters is redeeming enough to not treat his presence as a threat or betrayal. Also Martin seemed confused by Celia and I'm thinking he recognized her, it might just be that I recognize Lowri's voice but that interaction seemed odd? Also poor Georgie seeing her sweet little Admiral become a creature of the hunt, though I suppose it makes sense, while pets have always been safe from death or mutilation Jonny has made it clear in the past that they can be conduits of the fears (monster pig & agape) but still. I'm very scared and excited for next weeks episode.

Kit Maclaurin

Three cheers for everyone at Rusty Towers! Your production quality and talent has only grown, and I’m so excited to see the new projects you have planned for after MAG. Thank you for the lovely and unnerving episode

Gilligan Mungus

Helen! Anil! Lowri! I love hearing them on here. Thank you for the update on The Admiral. This was honestly a lovely episode which makes me even more trepidatious for next week.

Reanna _

Yay finally it's back !!!! That wait felt like forever but it was so worth it ! This episode was amazinnnggg . The cast list 😍 and the sound quality was so on point this episode. Love the feel of being in the tunnels. Also thank you so much from everyone for letting us know about the Admiral.

B43D

Ahhhhhh! ❤️❤️

MuddyHippy

Sorry! Only just seen your messages but absolutely it'a supposed to be her! From Ep100 with the on-fire ghost that she was completely unphased about! :D

MuddyHippy

(Or at least, that's who I think it is! Magnus has proved time and again they stick to the same VAs for characters!)

Nan McVicker

Love this, thank y'all for the consistently rad content. I am cautiously optimistic about the finale and I know no matter what it will make sense, even if it breaks my heart and crushes my soul. But in a fun way

Juls SK Vernet

AAAA omg <3 Melanie and Martin bonding over their relationships <3 Georgie enthusiastically smashing tape recorders <3 THE CULT THE ADMIRAL THE ANTICHRIST'S PLUS ONE <3

Emma.he.they

Jon is such a b*tch in this episode I love him

Sophia Smithers

That was awesome! I loved Martin and Melanie bonding, but The Admiral! Aaaa!

Cassidy

Aaaaah that was so lovely… *clutches heart* I really love how everyone is able to bring their own thoughts and perspective to the table, how it was quite clear that everyone is trying to cope in their own ways? Also, I didn’t know until now that I really needed that [REPEATED SOUNDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC TAPE RECORDER SMASHING] sound in my life.

Paola Ivanna

The banter between Melanie and Martin was amazing! Jon's response to Arun cracked me up. Arun sure is passionate, huh?

Crystal Wang

this is the only tma episode

Anika

Such a good opening episode! So glad that nothing bad (relatively) happened to the admiral. The antichrist's plus one is dream trophy spouse status tbh

Jess Nicolazzo

This is exactly what I needed. And only makes me more worried for what’s to come

Rudy Urroz

Today was my birthday, and this episode was a kickass gift. What a great episode!! So memorable! Martin and Melanie's heart to heart is just the best.

Marie

I... love everything about this.

Heather MacKenzie

I think Martin and Melanie might have been decent enough friends had all of this not happened.

Carolyn Tea

There's a few comments up there ^ that explain the Martin & Celia interaction.

Daniel Hoskins

Just listened to 93 again. Yes Admiral the end of the world came and you did just fine.

twigletsaregreattoeat

A song for Jon and Martin would be Rain by Benn Platt, so fitting to them.

ledgem

this was so so lovely!! as lovely as anything during an apocalypse can be, I'm pretty sure.

VorpalRabbits

It doesn't, but the transcripts are slowly being released to older episodes.
