My hunch is they're setting up White Man to carry some/all of the season 2 load.

Because there’s little to no casting overlap between seasons (though I do realize some plot twists would be foiled by how the Watch series is structured.) White Man doesn’t seem nearly charismatic enough to carry a scene, much less an episode. Edit: I just realized that you’ve only watched to episode 6. In my mind I was projecting you to have finished the series, but that’s just not possible yet. Sorry for the confusion.

That was a big old twist! I guess the folks that theorized that Jon had been marked by all the powers were right. How people are able to keep tabs on all the loose ends on this show I'll never know, but I'm glad they do.

Yeah that was one hell of a cliffhanger to end the season on. April is so far away.

My hunch is that the sudden shift in perspective was a problem to be solved and White Man is the way to do it and pad out season 2 through a "search for Lia" plot. But yes, it stinks!

I'm also mad that they cut the bit with Lia's mom and the phone call coming from inside the house. That part really creeped me out.

TMA: huh. Well that certainly changes the landscape. Do we know the root of the earlier (correct) rumors that seem to have played out in this episode? It’s time for a relisten with present revelations in place and curious how much will stand out.

Considering how the latest TMA episode ended, it makes me wonder if next season format will be different. (major spoilers, seriously don't look if you haven't listened to it) It's kind of hard for me to imagine Jon just kicking back reading statements while the world is ending and eldrich horrors are running rampant

After some prodding by a coworker and in celebration of the spooky season I marathoned all of TMA over the course of 2 weeks. My conclusion: Good as hell finale was a shocker but after going through the whole thing I have to say that The Extinction is by far the most tantalizing plot thread and I am utterly fascinated to see how it plays into what happened in the finale especially because it was conspicuously absent from the ritual

Well the people in the Amazon and that guy that got tormented by a phantom numbers station were both pretty afraid of it. Though you are right that the agents of the other powers seem to either be trying to ignore it away or are abjectly terrified by the entire concept of its existence.

On a relisten, Breekon and Hope show up in episode 2, as does the table and a post-script weird apartment building with only one person living in it. Sadly the apartment goes unnamed, so unclear if it’s just nonspecifically creepy or connected to Peter Lucas.

I'm pretty sure they've explicitly said that was the case. God I love how she's gone from being mentioned in passing as some doddering buffoon who doesn't know how to file things properly to a stone cold badass who stared down the avatars of fear and kept the world from being turned into hell. She was the Batman of the archival stacks.

There's a ton of little hidden things in the picture. I wish I had it larger so I could pick out more, but there's definitely the fire extinguisher with a creepy spider nearby, and a copy of "A Gift for Mr Spider" tucked away. I see another book that someone might recognize (I can't place it), plus what looks to be the blueprints of the building.

I stopped listening to the Magnus Archives at like episode 15 or so and have been meaning to go back to it. Sounds like I’m gonna need to do that sooner rather then later.

The box on the left looks like a partially obscured “Lightless Flame”. There’s a small amulet or necklace above that which may have their symbol on it, but I may also have unconsciously conflated their described logo with the Yiga clan mark from Breath of the Wild.
