This episode makes me squeamish

FyreFlye23

HOPWORTH?! The flesh? Also...I don't like anyone blaming Colin for anything. Poor Colin is doing his best and Alice is suspicious af to me now.

Anthony&

UM…. MUCH TO UNPACK😳

Artimas

Loving it. So much.

Ishmam

It's so interesting how the final statement of each episode seems to cement the "themes" regarding the casement as a whole. Very fun and I can't wait for next week!

FyreFlye23

Hey...the transcript doesn't list Norris as Norris and I may be having a cardiac episode over it soooo just a heads up, chickies.

FyreFlye23

the intro song is freddy saying womp womp prove me wrong

Stor Reke

Putrefaction is never wrong 🌱

Rusty Quill

Hey folks! Please note that inconsistencies with character naming is more likely due to my personal human error rather than anything directly plot relevant. This has now been corrected. Sincerely, April (Executive Producer, tired transcript editor)

Kaelyn

😭😭😭

loregano

love me a good body garden

Max

I love seeing the characters from each others perspective everyone’s so different except Gwendolyn😭

James Rule

Smart move. You don't want to antagonize local IT.

Cas D

Colin deserves the biggest stein for putting up with such haunted tech bs.🍻💀 and Alice is Queen of sass & I love it👸

HeavenlyBibi

Is anyone else not able to see the newest transcripts? I can only see the first two

loregano

or even, dare I say, dig up? 🤦🤦🤦

DamianJ

Damn making food while listening to this wasn’t a great idea :0

eugenia ivsean

hey, you might want to correct the first name entry, as it's uploaded now I believe only the second one is edited

HeathensWrites

you guys might want to add a CW for bugs?

Kristsune

ooh i LOVED this episode, incredibly good. I don't think I'll ever be over the orchestra, its incredible every time i hear it

Possumcat

Anyone else have it quit at 3:00 minutes here.

genevieve

i cant see the transcript for this episode?

KilaNova

I dont trust that :(

Ocean

The only birthday present I needed

FyreFlye23

Don't click on transcripts, click the .pdf link at the bottom of the show notes.

FyreFlye23

Right?! Everyone knocks on Gwen but she's a good employee and just wants to work without all the drama. Alice is a bully.

Aryn Jae

Hey, just wanted to say that for some reason I can see all 3 versions of the transcripts as PDFs under this post (i.e I can download the two with the incorrect name, and the most recent corrected one)? I'm on a Google Pixel + have tried refreshing + restarting the app. Not sure if there's anything that can be done from your end but just wanted to make you guys aware!

Marilyn

I love it, but the audio quality outside the statements makes it really difficult to hear what’s going on.

Not!Kei

Happy Birthday!!

Anthony&

okay now that i’ve listened again, SO GOOD and also if you guys like slow burn nauseating body horror then i recommend the film Contracted (2013)

JJ Hunter

Getting an increasingly strong impression Alice is inclined to Gertrude-style mitigation tactics working in a position of less power. Absolute banger of a case this episode - human horror getting mulched for inhuman horror, peeling back the writer's drapery of 'objective' authoritative medical diction until that diction is the only skeleton left. *shivers*

Helena McCoy

I say this with love: this one was Foul

Mice and Moonbeams

Loved the spooky body horror statement a certain Gardener would have been very proud of this one me thinks.

Helena McCoy

"force feed me my own keyboard" DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT SAM

HemiDemi

Hot damn this one was so good. And I still can't get over the transition between the TTS voices transitioning into more human performance and right back to robotic at the end. So damn good. Alex killed this one

Heather

Great episode. Also first time i did an internal heave. Good job.

Emilia Perfetti

Hahaha I was looking to see if anyone else caught that

FriendlyCybird

Going back to the old Smirke's 14 Catigorization, does anyone else think it's *interesting* we're getting so many flesh or flesh-adjacent "statements" in a series where the information is being categorized *digitally*?

FyreFlye23

Holy crap I didn't even notice that it was so subtle and well done

Geneva Wright

Don't know if the entity categorization is applicable to this series but I see anything corruption adjacent and I start foaming at the mouth. Thank you for this!!!

Geneva Wright

feels more corruption to me: sickness, rot, compulsions, doomed love, bugs

FriendlyCybird

Oh I agree, that's why I said flesh-adjacent because as Corruption-heavy as this one is, it still called up memories of Jared's Garden. ...and honestly I'm not expecting perfect categorization under the 14 anymore given how much emphasis was placed on them bleeding together/not actually being all that separate.

Aryn Jae

Just popping back to say it's all fixed now!

Sabal (from here on after)

I don’t know if I’m the only one but the sound design for the break room scenes so far has been borderline unintelligible. I’ve found myself having to read the transcripts to actually understand what happened.

KilaNova

If it makes you feel better, my friend got to do fun letter patchwork for capitalization so it was consistent in their art. your mistakes brings new opportunities to pain the fans more :3

FyreFlye23

This feels very Jared Hopworth Garden to me, fleshy

Undeadly

i love statements going from robot to emotion back to robot!! so ominous!! skin is CRAWLING

MarlaBothBothIsGood

GOD AMAZING STATEMENT. Gwen's friend's surname IS Lukas and they are in a complicated situationship...*is dragged away*

Valerie Kaplan

Similar trappings, but the underlying themes are very different.

Ocean

agreed

Jeff Miller

I do love the show, but the break room section was almost unintelligible to me. I could barely follow what was going on because the audio was so unclear. Could I humbly request to dial back the echo effect somewhat for future episodes?

FyreFlye23

I just want to know when we're going to find out what the worst thing Sam's ever seen is. LEST WE FORGET about the teaser.

Tyler H

Oh I love the concept of this one. Wish that could happen to me 😔

SpookMouse

JMJ error is when Jon, Martin and Jonah are fighting because three ghosts in the machine is just too many

SpookMouse

(idk if Augustus is Jonah but well it's gotta be SOMEONE)

GloriousGe0rge

"and I'll die down here" FORESHADOWING MAYBE?!? Definitely not a smart thing to say if you find yourself in a horror series....not that they would know that.

Pigeon

Great episode! But I agree with some of the other comments that the sound in the breakroom scenes is very hard to comprehend, I had to rely on the transcripts. I hope that this gets fixed in later episodes :(

Callum Boyle

/Exactly/ what I’m thinking

Kate McKiernan

Fantastic episode again. Really enjoyed it. The continued exploration of the different things the casements afford is a lot of fun to listen to. And a lot of details that may be incidental and well … well, I’ve been trained to listen closely to names of people and places. Interesting to see Gwen’s predicaments; it feels like she’s under parallel pressures and expectations to those Elias faced, but took the perfectionist route through them. It does make me feel for her, though I love Alice as well. Very interesting to keep seeing Alice in different contexts and how she feels different one-on-one with her colleagues. I’m looking forward to seeing what she’s after stirring things up with IT and her apparent frustration being stuck working all the time. A different vibe from her previous “time isn’t real” comment. Another commenter made a Gertrude comparison, which I’ll keep in mind. Several people have commented on the break room conversation. It was audible to me with headphones on, but it was up high enough that the music crashed in almost painfully loud. It’s clear you’re trying to communicate distance between the microphone and the characters, which seems to be a recurring scenario.

Kate McKiernan

Also: -Interesting to see the DPHW presented only extra-textually. This contributes to them being a completely optional puzzle to try and reverse engineer Alex’s system -We know Dr Webber can’t be recurring because his name is Sam -Yes, hi, jmj, I heard you there the first time, I’m just thinking about the new stuff, mkay? -Seriously Sam, don’t joke about eating keyboards.

Kate McKiernan

I love this piece of the acting. It’s phenomenal. It produces a very different deal from the Archivist instantly switching. Yet because the lines leading up to the casement aren’t from Jonathan or Martin, that brief transition basically serves the same role as the switch flip with the statements. Which I find exceptionally cool. Same job, different feel.

Kate McKiernan

His name is Sam, though; can’t be a recurring character. I’m surprised he made it here ;)

Anthony&

Agreed on the character analysis! I didn’t have any issues hearing the breakroom conversation with or without headphones tbh. I wonder why.

SpookMouse

one thing i have been thinking with the incidents so far is that there seems to be a LOT of overlap and mixed influence of multiple entities.... maybe they have been a bit tangled together? or swirled, i guess, to maintain the colour metaphor

SpookMouse

and after thinking on this more.... wouldn't Jonah make sense actually? since it's still, after all, the MAGNUS protocol... 🤔

Mishiro

Was organizing at work but had to sit down for a minute while listening, really tense stuff. Amazing episode!

Jons irate physical therapist

I can't help but notice how in two of the statements the person stops being scared of the things happening and starts embracing it rather heavily so. Also interested in how choice is being used in the serise so far. Great episode! Also I love Alice and Colin so much their dynamic is *chefs kiss*

Jeff Miller

Listened again through headphones and it’s much clearer, but for those of us who listen while driving, have mercy on us! :-)

Gareth Green

This one gave Jane Prentiss vibes.

Emile

spooked me when it started talking about werthers as i was unwrapping one haha

Alan Parmeter

My dude speed ran arguably every single fear

Marie

Just gonna say, this was probably the worst episode I could have chosen to listen to while eating dinner.

Ashe

Loved this episode so much as someone who's favorite alignment from Archives was Corruption! I agree that the previous categories probably won't be as applicable anymore but will still echo them. I saw a new theory circling that there may be a recategorization- instead of fears its "desires" or "hungers" since every episode so far has heavily revolved around the subject's personal wants and how it manifested into horror

sAZAndorable

hot DAMN this episode's casement-statement was amazing! Not gonna lie, I was a bit worried about the cases being written by guest writers I don't know (vs already knowing I like Jonny's stuff), but this was completely my jam and gorgeous -- adding Ain't Slayed Nobody on my list to check out for sure!! Loved Ryan's performance in Cry Havoc!, and he was a show-stealer in this ep too, Colin's well on his way to earning a fan favourite spot >:D Though I really liked the final interaction too (intriguing!!). Gwen & Alice have such an interesting dynamic, on the surface they're at each other's throat but they're never actually as sharply <i>mean</i> as they could be, Gwen did remain patient and Alice did relent and do a nice thing eventually... I wonder how long they've each been working at the OIAR? If there's only 3 employees in the team, has it been just the two of them sticking through and watching their colleagues come and go for years? Will note that the break room soundscaping maks it quite hard to hear conversations, though :p thanks for the transcripts! And most importantly: so, Sam has little stick legs to go along with his canonical noodle arms. Duly noted.

I think I spent the first two episodes trying to learn names and get oriented, but now I've got my bearings and am enjoying the heck out of TMP! Love all of the new recurring characters, can't wait to see all of the ways in which you're going to be horrible to them <3

Red

I saw that Ushanka reference 👀 Back to the visceral body horror, I love it 🥰

The Starlight Family

I strongly agree; we listen together so headphones are not really an option. I love the episodes and would really love to be able to enjoy them without reading the transcript.

TheMunsterMash

You’re not the only one, even though it’s cool stylistically I’ve had a LOT of trouble understanding all the CCTV/phone call segments. A lot of people on the subreddit are also talking about it

Ember, of the Starship Trinary

Seconding (or thirding) this. I listen on earbuds in a noisy environment, and can understand most speaking but when it's pitched to be on the /other side of the room/ it's very difficult to make out. I understand the effect being something like a bug or hidden mic or even just their computers listening to them, but I think there's many who'd appreciate a bit clearer audio!

FyreFlye23

I am VERY nervous that our sweet Colin is going to be taking a long Kayaking trip with an old friend before all is said and done :(
