Content

We begin to discuss the end of the beginning. Taylor joins us from his dirty south swamp shack, and we talk about the Rain Road, the ethics of direct action, "My Dad." and what we're looking forward to the most about Chapter 2. Crackle crackle!

Mentioned in this episode:

Wonderful fan art of Galani 

The Fantastic Philosophy Lectures (and southern accent) of Rick Roderick 

(personal fave is the Self Under Siege series which begins in lecture 301. -t)

Solid timing for AU friends thank you 🦘

Indeedy!

Sven the Scribe

'Oh did you not have time to whip up a little conlang just for this, you fucking coward?'

Nahda

I never wrote/translated a song in my life but i feel i will try **

Ursa

I just want Lou to come home

Sven the Scribe

"It's easy for Suvi to kill because it's easy for Suvi to die." - Damn! Aabria taking no prisoners (including herself)

Joules Sage

i didnt even need last fireside’s explanation to know ame’s choice was the right one, i knew as soon as she made it, and i have not changed my mind. the purpose of a soldier is to do three things; follow orders, kill, and die. these soldiers who died have fulfilled their purposes. of course there is tragedy there, but the blame only ever falls on those who have done wrong. ame didn’t, and neither did naram, except perhaps for leaving morrow alive. although that is far more complex and nuanced a decision than allowing for the deaths of the empire’s soldiers, especially considering the citizens of port talon and those villages destroyed by the kudzu were left out of the decision, but ultimately as the one most completely and directly wronged by his actions, my instinct is to let him decide what his retribution should look like.

WWMSudoku

a very bold strategy to have 3 PCs and then write one out, glad ethan is so very good at voices

witchcatcher

Is a coma arc called a “comarc” or an “arcoma”?

Jules B.

Haven’t listened and that Ashley Schaefer picture is worrying me…

Timothy Huff

The song and Galani going "I hope they don't turn this on me" makes me thing of the song "The Hanging Tree" from Hunger Games and how the miners and district workers sing the song while attacking the dam/power station. That scene always gives me chills and I can only imagine how much the empire would fear the same happening to them.

RuviGaPo

I'm too autistic for this bit but i'll take it

RoseWitch

Love all the diegetic discussion of the instrumental themes and notes covered in 'The Rain Road', 10/10 and hype deserved. Brennan is so right that in-narrative-world art is so important to making it feel tangible. ...Also, damn it Brennan, now I need to re-read 'The Little Prince' again....

Fran Lee

Not Donegal calling itself the forgotten county when Fermanagh, a county no Irish people remember, exists! It also could be in reference to Donegal being the only county up north to not be Northern Ireland but part of the Republic

RoseWitch

Are we going to talk about how perfectly placed the PCs were in the last two episodes? Eursulon in the sea on the side of the spirit world, Suvi on a white horse fleeing the furious Green in an effort to protect her fellow humanity, and Ame on the shore trying to strike a balance between the two... Just AGGHHHHHHH! Can't be normal about it. It was so good.

Alec

Just starting the episode, but are you ever going to talk about how y'all do milestone and what the expectations are for the other characters as well? Y'all take so long to level up, which is insanely cool and different, but it makes me worried because it's never been done before.

Dream Wizard Kyle Arca

You know what they're doing to Brennan in this? Character Assassination!

Sea Moose

Is Erika even real? Or has it been Ethan the whole time?!?!?!?!

Kimball

As a former Mormon, the story about the Joseph Smith museum and the fact Erika has read the Book of Mormon is blowing my mind

JK

I legit thought that WAS Brennan doing a bit LOL, thank goodness it wasn't just me thinking it 😆☠️

RoseWitch

Last thing, I swear. If there's the possibility of Merch being dropped in future for WNN... can we have 'Quest Fever' and sassy Fox quotes, please? :3

Michelle Spurgeon

For someone who had never done musical arrangements, Taylor is SO good at it!

THEY Agenda Productions

Suvi's journey is kinda similar to Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy. Incredibly capable and competent, but needs to learn to play well with others. Very good.

Dylan Buckley

The Donegal welcome plaque is hilariously accurate

Amelia

There is a sweet webapp called vulgarlang that can make constructed languages, so I second Aabriya in wanting the song in a constructed fantasy language

Carrie Mook Bridgman

I'm glad Ethan made the distinction between Louavul, the city, and Loueeyville, which is apparently a little place up in a holler. Otherwise I wouldn't have believed he was from Kentucky.

Sol

incredible finale, on top of an amazing first arc! i LOVE the discussion around The Rain Road. i had another interpretation of the 'musical story' that was being told, on top of the militant anti-imperial sentiment. which, obviously, is superseded by the creator's vision... buuuut such is art! 'by the road the rain rides to the sea' tells me that, whatever actions the empire at large has taken, there are SOME people in it that undertake projects to make life better. for the people, for nature, for whoever. roads have been built to make travel less taxing for the citizens, which also gives the rain an easier route to the sea. the work of the people in the empire CAN be that of connection, of harmony. similar to the points brennan makes a little later about suvi on the white horse, the role of wizards (and by proxy the empire) is to defend people from things from which they have no protection - overwhelming natural or supernatural forces. this is a rosy interpretation to be sure - goodness knows large scale public works projects often do more harm than good. but the instrumentation here isn't the marching horns of the empire, it's the voices of the people that call port talon home - descended from people who might have had dirt roads before the imperial ways, who built them along side streams, following the path of least resistance. the horns echo the notion of industry, of metals stolen from the earth and fashioned into tools. but from brass instruments we get some spicy jazz, so it can't be ALL bad! the low, quiet, minor notes of galani being immediately eclipsed by the bright major swell suggests, to me, that the people of the empire haven't lost their connection to nature and the spirit world, although the memory may be faded. if you got this far, thanks for reading my overanalysis and ahoohoo to you <3

Carrie Mook Bridgman

What I am most looking forward to is some kind of answer to the questions I've had, not for 14 episodes but for 22, since the first moment of the Children's Adventure, about Suvi's parents and [Yoren, which I will never be able to spell] and Steel and Grandma Wren. I'm sure we won't get neat, full answers in this upcoming conversation, or even in the whole arc, but we'll get something.

Morgana Evenstar

Come, some of the work gets kinda hard This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star Let me tell you it's always cool And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool At the HAM CART Bit-fixing at the HAM CART, YEAH

lunarsummer

Sven you're so quick! First comment, nice 😎

warriorsmurf

When I visited the Joseph Smith house in Vermont in like 2005, the brochures repeatedly referred to the obelisk as "a polished granite shaft." Which is the main reason I went.

Ecceptable

But by that logic, it was Eursalon's choice to die under the waves. A knight is a soldier. I'm looking forward to this coming arc a lot. I've felt a lot of frustration so far because we don't know anything about the empire, but the empire must be bad, so their people are disposable. Why? Because they're not part of a cute little village run by a witch? Because they call themselves "soldiers" instead of "knights"? I'm sure we'll see the workings of empire in the coming arc which will be helpful, but I'm getting some dissonance which is getting between me and seeing these characters as heroes rather than nature-attuned murder hobos.

Ecceptable

I just realized I placed Steel's voice as "non-evil Kalina".

Blair Walker

Looweyville is where Lou gets all of his guest stars

Ignacio Segura Montero

Lou is in Panamá??? Damnit, I need to get to Limón stat to catch him as he climbs back up!!

ooopsie

Me being demanding about titles part Ii: Eursolon had better be The Knight of the Gentle Sea AND the path Suvi took from the wall to the docks better be called the Rain Road.

Michael Johnson

This fireside chat is just dripping with the delight and joy you all have in talking about the work you do, as well as the respect and love you have for each other. Adore you all, can’t wait to see what chapter 2 has in store! 🥰

Cass

Incredible work, no notes. Immediately wondering how we organize an Eric Whitacre-esque virtual choir of WBN fans singing the choral arrangement of The Rain Road.

CSN

Since she was leading the scary lady to her beau, can it be the Rain Beau Road? 🌈

Tealstone

To preface this, I'm a percussionist more than I am a composer, but the podcast and the music inspired me to create a symphonic arrangement of The Rain Road. It's not a full-length interpretation, but it's a beautiful (in my humble opinion) arrangement nonetheless. :) https://soundcloud.com/rob-wiltbank/the-rain-road?si=6366abeb72da4b80a55f12953ca3a694 Thank you Brennan, Erika, Aabria, Lou, and Taylor for all that you do and all who you inspire.

Dave Thomer

Look, the main reason I'm here is the amazing storytelling, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I am thrilled to hear brilliant creators talk philosophy. Especially loved the shout out to the classical pragmatists and William James. I did a lot of my grad work on John Dewey. So, thank you for all the great work and great conversations.

Adri Void

Now I am trying to translate the song into Italian- but I understand exactly your issue because many concepts in song dont exactly translate well. It did remind me, besides it being sung by the young even if started by the Old in the pod, of older Italian folk songs especially those by the alps where people would sing into the mountains to have the nature echo back.

Jonathan Crawshaw

Sorry Brennan, Taylor I thought Brennan introduced twice...

The Overthinker

Brennan “The Bit Janitor” Lee Mulligan.

PokéRedstone

The story arc is called a comarc. The coma itself within the story is an arcoma.

Ben

It is true, when Taylor started talking the first time I thought it was Brennan doing a bit

Sarah Sutton

Wait wait wait!!! Guys! You know.....just 80 miles down the road from Nazareth, PA is the little township of Ephrata which, as everyone knows, is the Hebrew name for Bethlehem. So um, actually...Jesus WAS born in Pennsylvania?

Joshua Vern

Don't tell Brennan but I've been using streak freezes every day for like two months now, Duo is so disappointed in me already

Kurt Anderson

Taylor you can't tease me like that. Very mean 11/10

Troy Moses

I’m glad they acknowledged the similarity of Taylor and Brennans voice. When Taylor speaks, i just expect him to say things in a Brennan way (except slightly lower pitch) and it’s exactly what I expect. Maybe it’s because I’m not American and so Brennans verbal mannerisms aren’t something I’m familiar with IRL… and then this other dude who speaks exactly the same turns up lol. It’s surprising If, at the beginning of a show, Taylor didn’t announce himself and just picked up after Brennan stopped talking… I think it would take a bit before I realise it’s a different person There feels like a difference in how they approach an idea, but all the little bits and even voice changes are the same They’re the left brain right brain meme

Camille Lanata

I volunteer as a soprano ! i did choir for 8 years and have been wanting to get back into it recently, and when i heard this song all i could think of was an 100 person choir in 8 part harmony singing this

Marcus Burns

The song very much gave an elvish sea shanty vibe… loved it

Silje Dahl

Is it just voice similarity or have Taylor and Brennan both lived in the New York area? As a Norwegian it's hard for me to pinpoint exactly WHY their voices are so similar to me.

lunarsummer

I laughed so hard at the taylor/ Brennan voice jokes on this chat. Tears in my eyes, full belly laughs! I'm sorry I'm face and voice blind, there's no hope for me, save yourselves 🤣

lunarsummer

If you're not into it yet, there's a fanart bingo game going on through tumblr and a fan Discord! Check out worldsbeyondbingo, I've been having a lot of fun with the prompts!

Justin Frasure

Just starting and as a KY native I had to power through the pronunciation of Louisville. Thank God they were talking about Looweyville which is on the opposite part of the state in the hollows.

Paige

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (a.k.a. Mormons) who has heard very few pop culture people talk about their experiences - besides the occasional, impersonal, not totally accurate joke - hearing Taylor talk about the tour, Erika talking about reading the Book of Mormon, etc. has been…wild. 😅😂 Followed by all the music answers which is what I have been DYING for!! 🥰

Brandon Carbaugh

Taylor's bit about how reactions sell a moment is solid screenwriting advice I give ALL the time. Because humans react to other humans rather than abstract information, a plot event isn't fully real, emotionally, until you see a reaction to it in another human being (albeit fictional) that tells your little mirror neurons what emotion you should be having. Finding the bloody knife in a detective story doesn't finish landing until you get the shot of the detective's face, reacting to it. A pretty song is just a pretty song until you see a wizard be afraid of it.

Bunnay Ch33ks

"It's easy for Suvi to kill because it's easy for Suvi to die" oof that line hurt!

Angela Watson

I love that "Jesus was born in Pennsylvania" This episode was absolutely beautiful and the arc was amazing.

Micah Baird

So, I love everything about this show. After listening to the fireside, I went back and listened again to the entire ocean faster than this. And I just want to add one thing to the conversation about improv, talent, and earned mastery. 💯 this cast of creators are masters at the art. Even with mastery, the element that makes this work, is unconditional trust. When Aabria creates a raw memory of the magical minutiae that make up Suvi’s Mom to her she trusts that this creation will not just be accepted but made more fabulous by her partners. Then Brennan using the language of music and wonder puts words to this creation. Perfection. Brava.

Micah Baird

Respect. Waaaay to many sylables

Thurston Whitlow

It’s official it’s now crackle crackle ahoohoo fish!!! Add a new syllable per arc!!

Elly Wade

It sounded during the “uni” question like Brennan was about say he and Lou were coming to the UK but he got derailed?! Please clarify guvnor 🎩

M Bee

The little wobble that hit Erika at the end of the intro sounded like "There is an OSHA vaster than this one" and I love the mental image of that, like "I KNOW it's not strictly required, but wouldn't it be safer & nicer if we (did this & that)."

Krisse S

"It takes two points to make a line" damn Taylor dropping lines just like the rest of them!

LightningIdle

I know it’s a bit but LOUISVILLE KY REPRESENT WOO

Mary H.

My "correct" pronunciation of Ethan Trinidad's hometown is actually more like [ luh - uh - Vull ]. Swallow those vowels as you speak, like it's French. 😉

Matthew

As someone who grew up in Missouri and is now horrified by what's going on in Missourah, I feel for Mr. Trinidad.

Ashley Teatum

I was Unready for the song of the SEA.

Aabria Iyengar

Dimension 20 is doing a live show tour in the UK next spring!

Elly Wade

Omg Aabria the guvnor. The cost of no social media is high sometimes but thanks to you I got two of the last remaining tickets!! What an action packed few minutes!

MoodieRuxton

It gave this recovering Mormon prickly hot stress sweats 😅

Aud

I desperately need to know if Brennan or the gang has heard Hozier’s new album because it has Gaeilge on it and also a lot of political references and call backs to the colonization of Ireland and other places by the British empire

Erik Hanson

I suspect even the sound department got in on the penis levity. On account of when the curse was broken, it was accompanied by a giant DONG!!!

Brianne Hughes

As someone who just got into “Oh These Those Stars of Space”, it was great to hear Taylor unleash a little bit of Tuscaloosa Casketshowroom on the fireside :) Higly recommend his Star Trek love letter actual play podcast that uses Lasers and Feelings.

Matty Z Naps

Incredible work on the song. I was surprised and blown away by the amount of detail and thought put into the music. It was such a powerful moment and musically really smart, which most importantly communicates very well to anyone, music background or not. That said, the musicology nerds are gonna rejoice for this one.

A.E. Ross

Listening to the pod gives me the exact feeling of finding and devouring an incredible immersive fantasy novel as a teenager, so I absolutely can't wait to see what Chapter 2 has in store! Thank y'all

Jonesey

I love the intention behind bringing together voices to match the energy of a community and also to sing that gorgeous beautiful tear inducing song!!!

QualityQuilt

Any idea when this ep will get a transcript?

BirdInTheBrain

Don't sleep on the Rick Roderick videos, way ahead of his time.

lunarsummer

"Born with this thick corn syrup molasses" 🤣 going back to this still has me cracking up until I cry, my goodness

Eagledink

I just want you to know I really appreciate this episode of the fireside, and Suvi’s growth., and the recognition of this. Thank you.

The King of House Cabraescuro

"It's easy for Suvi to kill because it's easy for Suvu to die" is the Blackest shit ever! Aabria on that elder vibe

Apple Slapple

1:01:00 caught me wayy off guard lol

Eskitoon

Taylor sounds like Brennan doing Biz Glitterdew's voice.

Megan Hodge

Shoutout from Louisville KY!!!

Abbie Lankitus

I'm late to the show, but am finally here - the fireside chat for the Arc 1 finale. And I'm so glad to hear y'all acknowledge how much Taylor sounds like Brennan! It was my FIRST thought the first time I heard Taylor's voice, which I mistook for Brennan doing a character voice. LOL Love you guys, this material is freaking incredible.

The Wizard Symphony

Brennan I’m sorry but nobody would believe Donegal is people’s favorite; sincerely, someone from Cork, everyone’s REAL favorite

Emongaru

The very last brennan taylor double fakeout blew up my brain

Cur

....The song is perfect. However, I refuse to believe that BLeeM doesn't speak elvish.

Witpending

I don't know who needs to hear this but Mormons absolutely do not believe the Jesus was born in Pennsylvania. I assume it was a joke but just like... Don't walk away from here with that in your head 😂

Mel

The thing that absolutely KILLS me about the song is that when the horn for Galani comes in it's noticeable but quiet as she has her personal realization. But when the brass instrumentals burst in with the full weight of the Empire, they don't quite fit with the vocals and in fact completely overwhelm them. As long as the Empire is speaking, the people's voices are buried. It also feels significant that this happens for the final verse, when the song suddenly shifts to first person. From what we've seen so far via Steel, it seems like the Empire's predominant view of great spirits may be that their power makes them essentially ungovernable. To hear the people even nominally relating themselves to that would definitely feel like cause for alarm. MEANWHILE, however, the strings—the STRINGS!! The witches' instrumentals!! They slide under and behind and around the vocals; they enhance and connect without pulling focus. MUSICAL STORYTELLING!!! I'm fully blown away, y'all. Absolutely amazing work.

miri64

I totally agree with Erika here in the beginning: Taylor sounds like Brennan doing a bit. It took me listening to the backlog of fireside chats to realize that the voice at the end of each episode reading the credits is not Brennan talking in a softer, higher voice than usual, but Taylor.

Joshua

I’ve listened to the song a few times over. I love it!!!

Zoe Dukach

I absolutely love Rain Road! The first thing it reminded me of was Far Side of the World by Tide Lines, definitely there with the Gaelic/nature/love song vibes

Carrie Mook Bridgman

Megan, Vesper, me, and I know two more fans from Louisville. That's enough for a group listen sometime, yes?

Nick

Tbh I’ve always thought that Taylor kinda sounded like Brennan’s voice for Biz Glitterdo from Fantasy High

Christopher Underhill

taylor is so brilliant and i can not believe the expertise and huge amount of knowledge and wisdom he has in telling story through sound 🤯

expandingnebula

it’s the similarities btw the cadence of Brennan and Taylor for me which made me so confused! plus, my understanding of Brennan’s public persona is that this is a bit he would commit too. but i figured out that it wasn’t a bit somewhere between episode 1 and now. just took me a while.. 😅😅

Emory Blair

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who thought that!!

Eleventh Hour Panic Productions

[music nerd rant] Listening to Taylor talk about the weight of meaning the brass brought put me very much in mind of the 2nd movement of Brahms' German Requiem where the orchestra is kinda building for a bit, but then the choir comes in and a wave of sound punches you in the face while the text of "Denn alles Fleisch es ist wie Gras" (For all flesh is as grass) punches you in the feels.

Kael McDonald

As someone with a southern accent like Taylor's, I am OFFENDED on his behalf for the description of "Taylor's voice sounds like Brennan doing a bit" THE AUDACITY lmaooooo (That said I am also unfortunately one of the people who thinks Brennan and Taylor have similar sounding voices I am So Sorry)

Marguerite Fetner

The talk of how a song isn’t always a political statement but the act of singing it makes it one reminds me of “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” when it’s sung in the show Cabaret. Without context, it’s a beautiful song. It’s only when one understands the context in which it is being sung and the party it’s associated with that the song truly becomes a political statement.

Jay Clement

Sorry Brennan, but I've watched and heard hundreds of hours of you, and Taylor does so like Brennan is doing a bit. Erika nailed it. I get confused sometimes.

The Pompous Peasant

Ahoohoo I know is from an episode, came up around Gallows? I just can't remember who came up with it and the situation. PLEASE let me know if you can because I just finished arc 1 and too addicted to go back and and make a feeble attempt at finding it.

Erin Michelotti

God I love how much of a music nerd Taylor is. Hearing all the little details about his approach that the audience probably won't know (unless they're also a music nerd) but how integral those details are to the emotional response. I just AHH 😍😍

EternalSongbird

I cannot stress how glad i am that y'all addressed that Taylor does in fact sound similar to Brennan lmao

coolranchpanda

This ep making the exmormon in me happy. Shout out to the cult of Joseph Smith

Alexandra Young

I'm so glad I'm not the only person that thought Taylor was Brennan doing a bit for at least the first 3 outros he did.

Keegan B

Sorry for responding a year later. But the "Ahoohoo" is from the scene where Suvi uses a cantrip to dry off the Fox from the rain. The group liked the sound Brennan made as the Fox. It was around the episode they confronted Finley I think? It was a rainy episode.

The Pompous Peasant

Thanks! I did and up finding it and you are exactly on point!

TK

Brennan, I am 100% with you on your observation and analysis of the musical break after the bridge. Some times I go back to that part of the episode just to listen to the song in situ, and you describing the vexation of the Empire (via Galani) at the power of this thing that common people are creating. Literally cry every time. Taylor, amazing break down of the emotional resonance of that moment, so well put.

Lulu

Did anyone else ugly cry when everyone started singing in the ep? It was truly the 3rd song iv ever heard that has moved me to tears, absolutely stunning ❤️

DirtyGerty

Yo I’m not Mormon but I have been to that birthplace of Joseph smith and been cornered by the tour guide!!

Grace

I know this is very behind in terms of when this was released. But I've been a patron since day 1. I struggle to listen to podcasts sometimes as I get distracted, but have kept coming back to WBN for the enchantment. But I'm currently listening to this episode and had to pause because I was crying at how beautiful the singing was, and because of how genuinely moved and astounded I have been by the last few sequence of episodes. Genuinely I have been listening to it on the way to work, listening the second I get back in my car, putting headphones on while driving today because the radio on my car is so shitty (dangerous I know, but I had to hear Eursulon free Naram properly), making dinner with my headphones on and then eating my dinner with my eyes closed as I listened to these episodes (much to the alarm of my flatmates). ANYWAY I said all that just to say how ABSOLUTELY incredible these episodes have been and how I've never been so blown away by a podcast before and rarely by any form of storytelling in this way. It's such a credit to the excellent storytelling of this team as they start to walk in the promise of their characters and to Brennan for his kindness and cleverness and craft as he builds this world around them. And honestly Taylor's editing and his soundscape and music are massively a part of how genuinely mind blowing it has been to listen to these last few episodes. And not because the story is massively all about whiplash and robbing the audience in favour of twists and turns, it's just a truly magically crafted and earnest and epic story. The quality is just through the roof. I've cried, I've whooped, cackled, had my mouth hang open, blown out the speakers on my car trying to hear the bass, chanted yes repeatedly while making risotto. I wasn't really sure where to express this as I don't have reddit and am miles behind the curve and where this story has gone, but just thank you so much for this! It is FANTASTIC.

Landice Anderson

yeah after a little bit i got it but for the first few outros i fully was like “why is brennan doing this weird bit” lmao

Alex Leonard

Taylor’s work is absolutely incredible. Especially knowing that he went from not knowing the craft to mastering it for this show…but there are times (and I say this with nothing but adoration and admiration), there are times where he sounds like Brennan doing a Casey Kasem impersonation.

CactusMan

i wonder if they read new comments on old posts

Heather Holmquest

The song, content-wise, reminds me of the catalonian song l’Emporda, which is about the romance between a shepherd in the Pyrenees and a mermaid in the Mediterranean

An Anxious Ghost

I was just listening to this episode and hearing Taylor discuss how he made The Rain Road, it reminded me a lot of the quarantine fan made version of The Long Song from Doctor Who!

James

Thanks so much for recommending Rick Roderick! I've fallen in love with his lecture series, despite their eerie prescience for the current moment.

Daniel Trinidad

Ahhhhhhhhhh! He used my last name 😃😃😃

Carlos Torres

“Taylor sounds like Brennan with a cold.” - Kara (my beloved wife of 10 magical years)

CarpeBootium

Ethan is a remarkable voice actor

Tournesol

When Steele admonishes Ursalon about his actions, plus all the talks about honor and justice changing as life evolves, it reminds me of one my favorite MCR lyrics: For what you did to me, For what I'll do to you, You get what everyone else gets, You get a lifetime!

YOU-lee

Oh god thank you for acknowledging Taylor sounds like Brennan doing a bit. It took a while for me to accept that wasn’t true, and I didn’t want to look it up.

queer one

Your comment made me go watch that clip (I read all 3 books, back when it was only 3, but never saw the movies beyond the first when it came out). And now I'm gonna go check the books out from my local library to reread.

Oz

Please post The Rain Road somewhere. I don't care how short it is, I need it dripped through an IV into my veins.
