1) PETE IS BACK! YES! Gosh I missed him, plus it he's back we probably won't have to deal with Greg on the air for a while

2) Ben/Reagan, I ship it, and she's totally not read

3) Pete/Reagan, she can do better, but I approve of his taste

4) Anyone else think Tim2/RoboTim/Tim2016/BadTim is trying to go home and going to the Science Institute for help?

5) Poor JFink. I hope she gets the help she needs.

6) The Dark is awesome, I love him. "I say words. You hurt feelings."

7) Hot white justice juice. I cried with laughter.

8) Sammy is doing the Digimon02 "mm-hmm" thing all of a sudden and I love it and everyone should talk like the Digimon02 dub, it makes me really happy.

9) PETE IS BACK I LOVE EVERYTHING.

10) Sammy bringing up Chet/Marigold Myers was a thing of beauty.

11) So many short jokes. I approve of every single one.

1) PETE IS BACK! YES! Gosh I missed him, plus it he's back we probably won't have to deal with Greg on the air for a while

Yes! They have heard us, the listeners in this comm! (Okay, it was probably a total coincidence and planned, but I can pretend.) Also noticed they addressed the "King Falls' worst babysitter" question. I dunno. I'm still not convinced Creepy Carl should come in second.)

2) Ben/Reagan, I ship it, and she's totally not read

Nope, totally not dead. And if I didn't already ship Ben with Emily...and Sammy...and possibly The Dark now...oh, hell. New headcanon: Ben is poly and they all share.

I'm wondering if they're planning a Twin Peaks search for Agent Cooper riff with this one.

4) Anyone else think Tim2/RoboTim/Tim2016/BadTim is trying to go home and going to the Science Institute for help?

Yep!=.

6) The Dark is awesome, I love him. "I say words. You hurt feelings."

7) Hot white justice juice. I cried with laughter.

YES! And his insistence that it's "The Dark" and frustration that "Sam" won't get it right. (Note from Marshall Teller voice in my head: Never trust a vigilante whose first name is The.) I laughed so hard during that entire sequence.

10) Sammy bringing up Chet/Marigold Myers was a thing of beauty.

Loved that bit so much.

11) So many short jokes. I approve of every single one.

Same! I forget: Has Ben's exact height been established?

[evilinsanemonkey]

i don't think i thought in ep 1 that Ben would be fandom's little black dress

but he does go so well with everyone

[froodle]

Average height. Medium rage. I suppose what constitutes average depends on the size of the populace where you live?

[froodle]

If I have to hear amnesiac Reagan wander around saying call for help while being ignored by everyone I'm going to be very upset ON MY GOD PLEASE TAKE DOUGIE TO A DOCTOR WHAT THE HELL.

[froodle]

He is the Methos of the KFAM fam.

[deifire]

My brain: "Does that mean he's also immor--?"

Me: "Shut up! No crossover plotbunnies!"

[deifire]

True. I mean, if dropped him into the Eerie scene I'm supposed to be writing now, there's a good chance he might actually be the tallest one in it.


(Dammit, brain, I said no crossover plotbunnies.)

[deifire]

Seriously! I thought I was prepared for Twin Peaks. I was not prepared for how distressed I was going to get about poor Dougie.
