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.
Straw but make it apathetic 🤷

In First Shift, Gwen accuses Alice of nepotism in helping Sam get the job. Alice says "I learned from the best"- so "Bouchard" probably carries much the same legacy in this world as TMA. Maybe Elias is even in power somewhere up the line.
I don't know what that means, but feels like it's either important or a red canary. I mean herring.

MGP 1 "First Shift": a critical role reference? In my good Magnus? Delightful!
Also love how the voices transition from very computerized into very human, great performances.
MAG 199's "Can I have a cigarette" really fucked me. I knew how significant it must be, but somehow it still got me when the consequences made their gleeful appearance.

The Magnus Archives is wild because it'll make you glad a character's dead. Yes! Finally they can be tortured no longer! Freedom from this fearful world!
MAG 102: Nope, it's poorly dyed. Alas poor Gerry.
Also what the 🪲-
MAG 35 mentions my poor meow meow, Gerard "Silent R" Keay, in a Mastodon shirt. I just happen to be wearing a Mastodon shirt. What a great dead guy 🕷️
Also listen they didn't say his hair was BADLY dyed, just OBVIOUSLY dyed. Though in British, that may be the same.
Hey Magnus fans, so sorry, just one note:
In MAG 88, they say "Dig" so many times it sounds like "Dick"
Discuss?
"blurb"
a real and normal word

Punched in the face by a fly
Honestly, it deserved to get its own back
Really enjoying how every "blaze" search result is either:
- talking about how "blazing" got weaponized, bc of course
- in-depth, well-done, sonic fan content
Something something duality of man.

Oh shit, it IS rebar. Flashbacks to Fullmetal Alchemist.
