S1E33 - Podcast Without End

Episode(s) Discussed: S3E16-17 War Without End

2 years ago

In which the rate of Justen Headphones Moments is drastically reduced. This is it. The big one. This is PODCAST WITHOUT END. In the first half of War Without End, we discuss the principle of Occam’s Razor as applied to “time travel or deepfake”, question what Sinclair sees in Garibaldi, and threaten to call pest control for an infestation of Zathrii. In the back half, we give an important PSA about talking about time travel with your romantic partner(s), rename octopi as “Terran Octo-Dick Fish”, and realize that Marcus operates on D&D player logic and rolls 20s. More seriously, we discuss the role of this episode in the broader narrative arc of the show and as a send-off for both Sinclair and O’Hare, what makes a time travel episode work, and moments of transition vs moments of revelation.
