pixi

Chioma is an absolutely fantastic VA, this episode had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I am YELLING!

Nix

Hi! I don't want to be a bother but there's a tiny typo in the transcript. Page 17 has "[MARTNI IS RELIEVED] " (which I totally read as Martini) Anyways, fantastic episode, as always! Was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

ag

a new string theory just dropped !!!

LainyJP

THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!! OK....my NEW favorite episode of S5 I knew HTP would be the key to resolving anything, now how is it going to happen?? 😬😳

Sam Symonds

Anyone else feel vindicated and also afraid after this one??? 😭

Marcela

Alina

Urban Changeling

Aaaaaaaaa I am so shookith. WHO IS LISTENJNGGGG?? Wait are WE the other dimension I'm so excited and scared ahh!!

Lexi Ash

I love Annabelle Cane

Zorya Dolgushkin

I have no words honestly. Just FUck. The unfolding of the end of this story is so so good and I'm in tears and I'm so scared and yet so in anticipation and and and. Gotta go process this. Feeling kinda disconcerted over the fact that I've been knitting aka weaving whilst listening to this even though I usually do when I'm listening to tma, but with this episode in particular aghhh...but it's fitting. Thank you to everyone involved I'm in awe!! I guess I had words after all.

Raluca Patrinichi

@ that very last line: *bryan cranston "me?" gif*

Samariel Hastur

WOW ANNABELLE REALLY SAID THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES IS A PODCAST

Alex (she/her)

i listened to this while on a walk and i think somebody heard me shout “annabelle!” out loud whoops

-eldritch-h0rr0r-

OK. Holy fuckin god-of-exsistance and whatnot. The TWIST??? The WRITING??? Mr. Sims, you have outdone yourself. Good lord. But, seriously, holy shit. Amazing job to the actors, editors, producers, and everyone who was involved. This is fantastic and I cannot wait for next week.

Rusty Quill

Thanks for letting us know. That will be corrected ahead of the public release tomorrow (and files here updated then)

Jax

THAT ENDING YES YES YES YES THIS IS WHAT IM HERE FOR!!!!!!!!!

Jax

OH MY GOD I DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS WHAT THE FFFFF

Jamie Hilts

At the end, I literally sat there with my hands over my mouth. I KNEW IT WAS COMING BUT THE DELIVERY WAS IMMACULATE. GOD, I can't wait until the next episode.

Liz M

AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

fromgloriousjupiter

Martin, do not speak of killing Annabelle. There are enough lesbian widows in this community, we don't need more. Loved the soundscape, and the episode in general.

Lurkin

LOVING the lore on the Web being flexible. And hearing selected snippets from old tapes as if something is talking through the recorders - you've really saved that trick for the home stretch, great stuff!

Sam Zisk

The Magnus Archives Is A Podcast

Glenntropy

I am a relieved Martini

Alexandra DeCarlo

Ahhhhhh! This episode was so cool! Loves learning about the history of Hill Top Road. And I love Annabelle so much. This episode is amazing

GugTheGoose

I just think Chioma's voice is sexy

Catherine Lashley

Aaaa SUCH a good episode! No thoughts, head full of spiders

Gilligan Mungus

I just...wait, what?!?? That said, I’m going with Father Burroughs was the big bad all along. It makes as much sense as anything else at this point! 😁. Gah I so love this podcast.

Anna S

The statement and discussion of fears killing each other brings to mind Renfield's consumption of life in Dracula.

Isabelle

This episode was EVERYTHING I wanted

ElolaWhen

I'm at work but that did not stop me from shrieking loudly at the end aaaAAAHH

BuriedInTheArchives

Johnny has just been stealing from his cursed alternate this entire time! Lol

MuddyHippy

Oh. NO. This was INCREDIBLE and I am very much in danger. Amazing work as always!

Iz McAnder

I FEEL SO DUMB lmao I feel like I'm on the verge of understanding EVERYTHING but also I have NO FUHIN CLUE what's going on 😭

James Cunningham

So I’m wondering what Annabelle meant by giving Jon a final push. Jon taking Magnus’s place? Something else entirely?

James Cunningham

And what could her plan be, that merely telling Jon and Martin about it would cause them to help bring it about? I’m wondering if it involves leaking the powers out to other realities, but I can’t fathom why either of them would go for that.

Heather MacKenzie

I swear my stomach was twisted up in knots through out this entire episode. I'm so hoping that Basira is a strand Annabelle did not anticipate.

Oleander

you've outdone yourselves. a scar on reality indeed. thank you.

Rudy Urroz

Annabelle speaks so deliciously!

Rowan

Well, that explains the cover pic of the season then...

Juls SK Vernet

I think she meant using Jon as a final push to finally open wide that gap between 'realities' to do whatever is on her agenda... I think

Meredith

Effervescent.

Chels

Gorgeous, gorgeous!! Avatars can't resist Martin. They all want to wrap him up in tape and corridors and fog and keep him.

Becca Krause

This is absolutely amazing! What a paradigm shift!! Incredible!

Letícia Lé

Everything about this is just WOW

Gilligan Mungus

Whatever it is we’re all supposing, I figure Jonny’s going to have it be something none of us see coming. He keeps doing that!

Marie

WHO'S LISTENING, ANNABELLE?!?!?! WHO. IS. LISTENING??? *ahem* Sorry, I'm yelling, but I feel that's my default with this last run of episodes.

Marie

Well yes, but apart from us!

Gravie

Bruh I’m so stressed out I’m sweating

Mrs Widgery's Lodger

Step into my parlour!!! Yes! I'm so glad a web person finally said this ❤️❤️

Jess Nicolazzo

My heart is pounding so hard right now and I’m sweating! The shift omg! Incredible writing!!!!!!!!!

Kate Sparrow

And she sounded SO SMUG about getting to say it!

Mrs Widgery's Lodger

She really did lol mind you she spent a great long walk listening to Martin asking "Are we there yet?" all the way so she's probably earned the smug

Jupiter Moody-McIntyre

Ahhhhhhhhhh I am not ok. Oh my god that is so incredible and scaring and holy shit I can't. There are only 4 episodes left and each week it gets harder to press play

Zorya Dolgushkin

Great minds think alike! :) Were you knitting as well, then?

ontologicallyunjust

I do enjoy Martin's little noise of literary judgement after Annabelle's "Step into my parlour." SOME SUBTLETY PLEASE ANNABELLE.

Sunnyrea

Loved getting a history of Hill Top road and god damn this episode got me so afraid and excited!

nathaniel loy

The web, the web is listening all of us the web, did I just listen to 196 episodes to get taken in by a pun

Robbie Lyons

Annabelle sounds so disarmingly...normal, compared to so many other avatars. Not as glib or smooth as Lukas, or Fairchild, or Magnus. Not as gleefully mad as the Distortion, Perry, or Orsinov. Not as intimidating as the Deliverymen, or Daisy. Just an ordinary girl with a slight lisp. You'd never suspect her of anything at all.
