I think this is the best ep they've done since A Life in the Day. Great ending.

Have I missed any intersection of The Library and Darth Elliot? Dialogue about him or anybody working parallel to, or counter to the physical kids? Because he seems like exactly the sort of thing that they should be concerned about if they're going to be keeping their thumb on who can do what kind of magic. I ask, not just from a nerdy "Why didn't they fly Eagles to Mordor" angle, but because it's starting to needle me that the bigger stories this season seem to be operating independently of each other and that seems like something that would normally be intentional.

In the first several episodes of the season, Fogg makes reference to it to the head librarian. She doesn’t believe him that the monster is a thing, nor that it’s specifically after the magicians that are then still under disguise. I don’t think it’s come up since.

Just getting caught up on this season and watched episode 4 ( the one where Josh goes through the quickening). Who was the Isaac guy he was talking about who infected him?

Josh got the werewolf std when he and Julia went to Baccus's party back in season 2. Issac is Josh's secret identity when they were all in witness relocation, he was an Uber driver with a big piece.

They're connected, but they've not made it explicit yet. The creature hates the gods of the Greek pantheon (Iris, Baccus, etc.) and the Hades is a silent partner in the running of the Library, and Cassandra (or some god-like equivalent) works in their basement.

Contextually it made plenty of sense is the thing, who cares if you don't remember the specific name when the context is "whoever you gently caress rn wolfs up and like eight seconds ago you were someone else"

I think the line was like "I've told everyone, but who knows what Isaac did?" I definitely had a second of "wait is Isaac how Josh got it? Wait how did Josh get it?" before remembering Isaac was his alternate identity's name. I remembered the cage and everything but not the exact details

Also did Fogg just make up Josh's alt because Uber-driver...with a monster-schlong seems more up his alley than a stand alone comic book short.

"Who knows what I did when I was Issac" would have been a much clearer way to phrase it.

To be fair, I don't really Josh would have done it at all if the circumstances were even slightly different. I don't really think the show tries to do anything to justify the god-killing as explicitly good. If Josh's alternative was anything else besides get himself and all of his friends violently killed, pretty sure he'd take that instead. He does try to nope out once, even with that. It's primarily why I think he was so steadfast in the Quickening situation. Josh is a pretty overtly good dude, and given that he's probably reached his willingness to kill threshold for one lifetime (ready to see that get tested again, though), it all makes sense to me.

So here’s a question, if magic was cut off when Ember and Umber died, why hasn’t the recent spate of gods dying triggered a similar response? Is the current thing just permanently propped open so the universal plumber can’t turn off the spigot? It was supposed to be a foolproof backdoor, right?

My understanding wasn't so much that they turned magic off because some gods died, but more because some lowly humans decided to kill those gods instead. That's without considering the alternative mechanical problems, like maybe they can't turn it off at the source anymore. Who knows.

Yeah, they allow humans to have magic and turned it off when they used it to kill a god. The monster thing won't be affected by humans being prevented from using magic. It was very much a specific "ok, you humans can't be trusted with this so we're confiscating it" situation. Maybe the gods would have acted against humans for turning it back on again if it wasn't for the monster making them all run scared.

I feel like The Monster getting out is a test of the new gods and the humans (and any other intelligent species) on the part of the old gods and not just an unanticipated side effect. Could the humans turn magic back on without releasing it? If they release it, can they and they new gods work together to contain it? Etc.

I feel like The Monster getting caged is going to end up being the equivalent of the old gods putting it in the corner for a few millennia to think about what it did. They’re pretty nonchalant about their kids actually dying, since even turning off magic was talked about as a temporary punishment for humanity killing Ember and Umber.

I think it's just an arsehole, and it'll have turned out to have made a deal to give up its forgotten knowledge in the first place. Though the fact that all those organs somehow make up a body kinda puts the kibosh on that one.

They’re pretty nonchalant about their kids actually dying, since even turning off magic was talked about as a temporary punishment for humanity killing Ember and Umber. My theory is this: The Monster wasn't evil. The new Gods somehow tore him apart for power and caged the rest. Yes, I know, they keep screaming how he was evil and he's totally evil now but to borrow a crazy AI concept, it's like pulling the morality and ethics program from SHODAN or GLADoS. Something they took from him made him into this broken thing that just murders everyone with the mind of a child. It could make an interesting resolution to make it sort of debatable that the right thing to do is help him murder the Gods, or a cool scene where after he gets his mind back he looks in horror at everything he's become. Or maybe he was a friend of Mortals, but an enemy of the Gods - the Gods called him 'The Monster' the way vampires might call Blade a serial killer before tearing his body apart and leaving him this shell. I could be ENTIRELY wrong, but it's just a spitball theory I've had, combined with the way the show takes obvious things and often flips them around. ED: Going one further I suspect it will be revealed that he's a Titan. Fun fact, everyone knows about the infamous Titan Saturn eating his children, but less people know that despite that gory image he later had the children beaten out of him, vomited them up and .. uh.. they were fine. Maybe it's his bit about eating the others that made me think this way. Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Feb 27, 2019 |

I think a Titan is a good probability, maybe not in the Greek sense, but something similar in whatever creation mythology the show is running with. Most mythologies have a component of killing a progenitor and using his body to create the worlds and first beings. Edit: Really dropping the nerd references this week.
