Whoa wtf that really is just a massive nail

Is this supposed to be a reference to how Cas almost got a nail in the head via Uriel back in S4? I’m trying to make sense of this.

well, that was a weird episode

When you say "Pompeian Bath" this is not my first thought

-A Pompeian Bath-

The fact that TMAGP begins with boot up noises -- and it's implied that Teddy turned off his computer but it turned itself back on -- establishes that we're listening from the same vantage point as whatever's in that machine. Or the system at large.

So the pub conversation is what confuses me. Is whatever's in the OIAR system on Alice's phone? She would DEFINITELY ignore regulations around not connecting personal devices to the network/etc. But is it following her intentionally, or did it just get on there? You hear camera noises while Sam talks to Colin, so it feels intentional. Malicious or beneficent, though...

The transcripts also say that Norris's and Chester's readings occurs in "CYBERSPACE," which is cool to me because TMA didn't get super deep into fears of technology (certainly cameras, keyboard eating, and uncanny automata could all be lumped in, but tech itself wasn't the "fear" - it was the eye, the spiral, and the stranger). So far technology, the complexity of it, the things lurking in spaghetti code, are front and center.

All of the stories so far have also touched on body modification, even transhumanism (esp. 3), and I can't resist thinking I KNOW where this is going. Gimme that sweet sweet .jmj 🙈

I also wonder if the mere act of categorizing these cases is constructing the new fears.

Proselytizing God Emperor of Dune has not gone as planned

oh yeah, it's allllllll coming together now......

Second tmagp Thursday on hiatus. I’m losing hearing in my left eye and smell in my right. Parched and desperate I claw my way through the dessert of cliff hanger insanity. Finally I collapse, unable to continue. Right as my eyes are about to drift shut for the final sleep I see something in the distance. A blurry figure, slowly coming closer until they fill my sight like an angel sent down from above, Hatsune Miku Jonathan Sims.

I don't know about that
