1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,720
>> Sarah : Foreign. Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont and

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,920

00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,000
Carried in tonight. Will.

00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,079
>> Will: Doing very well. Sarah. How you doing this

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,800
evening? Looking forward to talking some paradise,

6
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:21,550
penultimate episode with you and One Piece. And we

7
00:00:21,550 --> 00:00:22,790
got some news tonight as well.

8
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:26,430
>> Sarah : Yeah, why don't you go ahead and start us off with

9
00:00:26,430 --> 00:00:26,950
the news.

10
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:30,450
>> Will: Yeah, so, yeah, it's been a while since we've done

11
00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:36,200
a nerd news, segment. But I definitely wanted to,

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,950
you know, start off I was in the process of

13
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:41,590
putting together my script for my thoughts on

14
00:00:41,670 --> 00:00:45,640
Starfleet Academy season one and then it wasn't

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,360
able to like record this weekend and then I'm kind

16
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,760
of glad I didn't because we learned this week that

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,540
the series is being canceled. That's right. we got

18
00:00:56,540 --> 00:01:01,650
word yesterday that Starfleet, Academy is going to

19
00:01:01,650 --> 00:01:06,890
be ending after its second season which the second

20
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:10,050
season just ramped production only a few weeks

21
00:01:10,050 --> 00:01:13,910
ago. And And I have to, you know, basically the

22
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:18,100
line from Paramount plus was basically that as far

23
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:20,980
as the, the show's ratings that never really

24
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:26,540
cracked, the top 10 as far as the, the Nielsen

25
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:29,260
streaming charts and everything. But you know,

26
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:33,389
and, and that is a very fair point. But at the

27
00:01:33,389 --> 00:01:38,360
same time, there was, oh, this show. I've been

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,520
thinking about it a little bit after, after we've

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,800
gotten word about the about the cancellation and

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,230
all throughout the season, you know I've shared

31
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:50,910
with you Sarah, off Mike and even I think you're

32
00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:55,500
on the pod, just some of the toxicity, Star, Star

33
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:58,180
Trek fan base and people calling it too woke and

34
00:01:58,180 --> 00:02:00,820
to this and you know, the misogyny, the, the

35
00:02:00,820 --> 00:02:04,620
homophobia and all the other that was out there

36
00:02:04,620 --> 00:02:09,680
and, and bad faith grifter reactors, and So the

37
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,570
show really from the get had a very uphill path to

38
00:02:13,570 --> 00:02:15,850
climb. But I, you know, but there is a very

39
00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:19,290
passionate fan base out there for this show and I,

40
00:02:19,290 --> 00:02:21,930
and I was really thinking it reminded me a lot of

41
00:02:21,930 --> 00:02:25,290
some of the. This discourse and discussion with

42
00:02:25,290 --> 00:02:28,970
another big fandom with star in it and that's Star

43
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:32,250
Wars. And in the conversations around the acolyte,

44
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:36,430
it was a very, you know, very parallel type of

45
00:02:36,430 --> 00:02:41,060
dynamic going on with with that, with Starfleet

46
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:43,730
Academy where you had all these gatekeepers and

47
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:45,930
you know, all these people saying that's not my

48
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:47,970
Star Trek and all that kind of stuff. And you

49
00:02:47,970 --> 00:02:50,530
know, the goat himself, William Shatner got out

50
00:02:50,530 --> 00:02:53,530
here and you know, last Night and, and posted on

51
00:02:53,530 --> 00:02:56,250
his social media accounts how he, you know, he had

52
00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:59,170
heard about the cancellation and, and the goat

53
00:02:59,170 --> 00:03:01,460
himself, William Shatner, is basically like, so

54
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:04,010
said, look, you know, when I, you know, had the,

55
00:03:04,090 --> 00:03:07,640
one of the first interracial kisses on tv. And you

56
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,360
know, if, you know, if, if in my time, you know,

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,200
I, People will probably call our show too woke or

58
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,880
DEI or that kind of stuff. So, you know, there's a

59
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,330
lot of bad faith BS out there. So, yeah, so two

60
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:22,810
things can't be true. Yes, it is true that the

61
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:26,070
show didn't have, the strongest of ratings. And,

62
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:29,030
and I could see it from an economic standpoint how

63
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:33,940
with a big budget show like this, you know, you

64
00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:35,180
gotta have return on investment.

65
00:03:35,820 --> 00:03:36,300
>> Sarah : Yeah.

66
00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:40,180
>> Will: But it's also true that there was a lot of

67
00:03:40,180 --> 00:03:43,460
toxicity out there in the fan base and this is why

68
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:46,620
we can't have nice things. So I'm still, I'm still

69
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:49,690
planning on giving my thoughts on the, overall

70
00:03:49,690 --> 00:03:51,890
with the first season. And we will see the second

71
00:03:51,890 --> 00:03:54,690
season, I guess it'll come in in 2027. Of course,

72
00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:59,030
we still have the last season, and a half of,

73
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:02,170
Strange New Worlds. that'll be, I think Strange

74
00:04:02,170 --> 00:04:04,290
New World season four will be dropping, I want to

75
00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:06,720
say, later this year, and then we'll have, an

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,080
abbreviated fifth season for, for Strange New

77
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,520
Worlds. And, and then after that, you know, who

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,960
knows what's going to happen with the Star Trek

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,050
franchise because, you know, because we do have a

80
00:04:15,050 --> 00:04:17,690
new ownership group, at Paramount. they have

81
00:04:17,690 --> 00:04:20,210
talked about, you know, reinvigorating the feature

82
00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:23,980
film franchise. but, you know, we shall see.

83
00:04:24,370 --> 00:04:27,810
>> Sarah : if anything they need to do is hire Tyler

84
00:04:28,130 --> 00:04:32,210
Sherindan to write a Star Trek because he, like,

85
00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:35,730
owns Paramount. Plus at this point, because I did

86
00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:40,880
watch the Mad Madison, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt

87
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:46,790
Russell, it's good. It's. I wouldn't say it's

88
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:52,520
great. it's a bit slow and I, I did a lot of,

89
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:55,350
skipping because I was like, oh, we're just gonna

90
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:57,190
spend the next two minutes looking down at the

91
00:04:57,190 --> 00:05:02,910
scenery. Okay. And then six episodes. So what they

92
00:05:02,910 --> 00:05:05,310
did was they dropped three last week and they

93
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:06,550
dropped three this week.

94
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:07,260
>> Will: Okay.

95
00:05:07,260 --> 00:05:10,900
>> Sarah : it's different than other Sheridan shows, but it.

96
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:15,850
Also the cinematography, the openness, all of that

97
00:05:15,850 --> 00:05:19,690
is there. so I just. And, and from what I

98
00:05:19,690 --> 00:05:21,970
understand, we're gonna get a season two because

99
00:05:21,970 --> 00:05:25,140
the ratings have been good. Okay. And, which. Go

100
00:05:25,140 --> 00:05:25,700
figure.

101
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:27,300
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

102
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,900
>> Sarah : With him and his history with shows on Paramount

103
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:34,100
Plus. Yeah, I feel like, I feel like he's just

104
00:05:34,740 --> 00:05:36,340
marking territory

105
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:39,220
>> Will: for sure.

106
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:42,260
>> Sarah : I'm waiting for him to do the Alaska Edition

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,720
edition. So, so I, I watched that, but the other

108
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,160
show I watched, I've been watching, I'm not

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,090
finished with it. Nobody tell me. Spoilers, that I

110
00:05:56,090 --> 00:05:58,209
actually think you would like and I think you

111
00:05:58,209 --> 00:06:00,410
would be proud that I even watched this because

112
00:06:00,410 --> 00:06:05,140
this is a very you show. it's the new Nicole

113
00:06:05,140 --> 00:06:09,480
Kidman show out on Amazon is for PETA.

114
00:06:10,470 --> 00:06:13,790
>> Sarah : And she, is a medical or the state medical

115
00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:20,710
examiner for Virginia. And Okay. It, and you know

116
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:25,710
that in this type of genre with the crime and, and

117
00:06:25,710 --> 00:06:28,990
detective work and all, I, I have issues with,

118
00:06:29,070 --> 00:06:33,600
flashbacks. they use them very smartly in this

119
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:33,920
show.

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,880
>> Will: Okay.

121
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,960
>> Sarah : Very smartly. The first episode is literally

122
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,800
called A Bridge Between Time Part one, and the

123
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,960
last episode is A Bridge Between Time Part two.

124
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:45,920
>> Will: Okay.

125
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:52,610
>> Sarah : So I, I am, I, will admit the first episode is

126
00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:57,290
hard to get through because pacing, setup, and

127
00:06:57,290 --> 00:07:00,740
also, this is not a show you can eat while

128
00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:07,580
watching. I m at like, you're, you're looking at a

129
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:12,420
lot of dead bodies and they're, they're dead, but

130
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:16,700
they also don't look nice. Okay, got it. Yeah,

131
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,220
yeah, you're, you're looking at a lot of. There

132
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:22,540
are some horrific images that occur and

133
00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:25,900
everything, but they, they go in some interesting

134
00:07:26,060 --> 00:07:29,640
places that I did not expect. Expect. the actors,

135
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,270
of course, are good with, Nicole Kidman and even,

136
00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:38,320
even the past versions. Like I said, this isn't

137
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,360
really a spoiler, but, but they do a lot of

138
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,420
flashbacks. So you, you see a cl. you see K and

139
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:52,740
her family and, and co, workers and in present day

140
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:58,020
and then also in past. So they're, the younger

141
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:03,300
versions are also holding their own. Even though

142
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:06,780
I, I do admit the actress who plays Nicole

143
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:10,100
Kidman's counterpart as the younger. The first

144
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:12,900
episode, I was like, yeah, that's not Nicole

145
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:17,180
Kidman. I was like, I think you could. But as it's

146
00:08:17,180 --> 00:08:21,420
gone on, it's gotten better. I've been like, okay,

147
00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:25,420
I, I'm starting to see it now more and more. So,

148
00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:29,290
yeah, so yeah, I, I, I think you should check it

149
00:08:29,290 --> 00:08:31,890
out. And I think others have. I know it's like

150
00:08:31,890 --> 00:08:35,170
number one right now on Amazon, so. Oh, and

151
00:08:35,650 --> 00:08:39,690
speaking about Amazon, I am watching watching Jury

152
00:08:39,690 --> 00:08:40,770
Duty Presents.

153
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:43,730
>> Will: Yeah, I was wondering, I heard, I heard about Jury

154
00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:46,240
Duty season, two, and I was just like, I was

155
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
wondering if you were, if you were watching it so,

156
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,670
you know, you just answered my question.

157
00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:53,150
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I. They've so far released three

158
00:08:53,150 --> 00:08:56,430
episodes. I've only watched two of the three. I

159
00:08:56,430 --> 00:09:00,140
just haven't made my way back there. But, But

160
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:05,540
yeah, I, It. It's. It's definitely different. It's

161
00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:12,380
not Jury Duty, but it's not. Not Jury Duty. They,

162
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:17,400
they know how to pick these guys to follow and be

163
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280
the unknowingly straight guy.

164
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:21,440
>> Will: Okay.

165
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,360
>> Sarah : In these shows very well. And I think that's why

166
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,440
it's successful now. Then again, I've only seen

167
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480
two of the three that have been released. I

168
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,360
haven't seen the full, full show. So we will see

169
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,320
if. Because I do remember getting a bit tired of

170
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,940
some of the sticks that occurred in season one.

171
00:09:42,490 --> 00:09:47,490
and I think from a technical perspective, season

172
00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:51,870
one was a bigger achievement because they were in

173
00:09:51,870 --> 00:09:57,260
a very confined space for that period of time, or

174
00:09:57,260 --> 00:10:03,380
spaces while with. With the company retreat. They

175
00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:07,650
are. I think it feels more like the Office.

176
00:10:08,450 --> 00:10:09,090
>> Will: Got it.

177
00:10:09,170 --> 00:10:12,570
>> Sarah : It feels so much more like the Office than Jury

178
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:14,050
Duty season one did.

179
00:10:14,450 --> 00:10:15,010
>> Will: Okay.

180
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:15,970
>> Sarah : Yeah.

181
00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:20,810
>> Will: Okay. So, yeah, well, I know, I know we got to get

182
00:10:20,810 --> 00:10:23,170
to our main topics, but two. Two quick Marvel

183
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:26,730
updates, before. Before we do that, one, which I

184
00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:32,160
was. Which I was honestly surprised. yeah, you

185
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,360
did, you did Wonder man, Season two is coming and

186
00:10:36,580 --> 00:10:39,380
it was greenlit this week. and very excited about

187
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:43,540
that because as if you. For folks who, who listen

188
00:10:43,540 --> 00:10:46,500
to us, you. You will know my. I was not that high

189
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:49,780
on this show at first when I first heard about it.

190
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:52,880
But but ended up loving it.

191
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,840
>> Sarah : I really don't want to cover it, y'.

192
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,040
>> Will: All.

193
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:56,460
>> Sarah : I forced to.

194
00:10:56,780 --> 00:11:00,100
>> Will: Yeah, you did, you did and I'm so glad you did. I

195
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:02,380
would have missed out on something very special as

196
00:11:02,380 --> 00:11:05,710
far as Marvel Television. So, so yeah, it got

197
00:11:05,710 --> 00:11:09,240
renewed. And then also today, John Barenthal

198
00:11:09,830 --> 00:11:13,440
shared on his Instagram, the Marvel special

199
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,840
presentation that we've heard about. You know,

200
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,440
thinks that, you know, for some time since

201
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,960
Daredevil ah, Born Again season one premiered and

202
00:11:21,980 --> 00:11:23,940
we were. We've been wondering when this was going

203
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:27,840
to drop but we. We got word that the Punisher one

204
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,670
last kill, will be ah, premiering on. On Disney

205
00:11:31,670 --> 00:11:38,560
plus on May 12th. So. So yeah, so that's the the

206
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:40,910
latest roundup of news items from

207
00:11:40,910 --> 00:11:45,950
>> Sarah : Marvel and we both watched Brand New Day trailer.

208
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:50,750
We both saw Bernthal Bernthaling it up and I would

209
00:11:50,750 --> 00:11:56,470
just like to say I'm so glad when the MCU listens

210
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:59,710
>> Will: to me, they should always listen to

211
00:11:59,710 --> 00:12:06,310
>> Sarah : you because I just, I mean it's just, it's so,

212
00:12:06,550 --> 00:12:10,460
it's so good. Like the, the, even just knowing

213
00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:15,740
that they. Before Tom Holland was doing. Did his

214
00:12:15,740 --> 00:12:18,540
screen test, he read lines with Bernthal because

215
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:19,780
they were working on the movie together.

216
00:12:20,260 --> 00:12:20,740
>> Will: Yeah.

217
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:26,420
>> Sarah : And. And to see like, it's just. Yes. This is what

218
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:30,820
we want. This is what we want. We want the, the

219
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:35,700
larger than life spectacle with like, well

220
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:42,920
grounded human themes, but we also want this inner

221
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,700
working behind the scenes of like fate. so it's

222
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:51,550
just, it's just so cool. and a knock on wood,

223
00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:55,190
everyone remains a good. Presumably a good person.

224
00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:59,990
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

225
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:04,060
>> Sarah : all right, well, that brings us to Paradise,

226
00:13:04,060 --> 00:13:08,210
Season 2, Episode 7, 7 the Final Countdown. And I

227
00:13:08,210 --> 00:13:11,530
am going to curse this episode because that

228
00:13:11,530 --> 00:13:15,330
freaking song. As soon as I read the title, it

229
00:13:15,330 --> 00:13:17,770
started playing and then they talked about it and

230
00:13:17,770 --> 00:13:23,170
I was like, no, stop it. We're. Luckily it doesn't

231
00:13:23,170 --> 00:13:27,250
stick, but man does. As. As soon as you hear those

232
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:30,410
words, like one track mind, it just turns on like

233
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:34,830
a radio. this IMDb summary is Xavier has

234
00:13:34,830 --> 00:13:37,630
unfinished business. Meanwhile, Sinatra meets the

235
00:13:37,710 --> 00:13:40,270
meets with Link as Paradise prepares for a

236
00:13:40,270 --> 00:13:45,700
potential threat. Will, where do you want to start

237
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:46,740
with this episode?

238
00:13:47,380 --> 00:13:49,340
>> Will: I, you know, let's just start with. With the

239
00:13:49,340 --> 00:13:54,630
flashback because I, I have to say, for me, I've

240
00:13:54,630 --> 00:13:55,670
missed James Marston.

241
00:13:56,410 --> 00:13:59,170
>> Sarah : Thank you. That, that was like. My highlight of

242
00:13:59,170 --> 00:14:03,730
this episode was like, yeah, we really need to

243
00:14:03,730 --> 00:14:08,450
step up the Cal flashbacks because he is just

244
00:14:08,450 --> 00:14:10,650
brilliant in an absence I have missed.

245
00:14:10,890 --> 00:14:15,210
>> Will: Yes, Yes. I mean he, to me, he's like the low key.

246
00:14:15,290 --> 00:14:17,410
Not even low key. He's like the mvp. I mean,

247
00:14:17,410 --> 00:14:21,890
whatever. We. Episode seven, I think, and, and

248
00:14:21,890 --> 00:14:24,820
Fogelman don't let me down in season three, but

249
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:30,180
we're gonna have a speech by Cal that just sets

250
00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:33,620
the tone for everything. And I really, you know,

251
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:36,140
to that point about the flashback, I really liked

252
00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:40,740
how the, the episode started. And for folks who,

253
00:14:40,740 --> 00:14:46,460
who, if you listen to the paradise, radio on Hulu,

254
00:14:46,460 --> 00:14:48,380
it's a website that they've set up as a companion

255
00:14:48,380 --> 00:14:51,060
piece for the show. And they, you can like tune

256
00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:53,860
into to various frequencies and you know, they'll

257
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:56,870
give like, you know, either snippet of a speech

258
00:14:56,870 --> 00:14:59,670
or, or a scene or whatever. And one of the things

259
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:02,350
that they, they, that they had on this week was

260
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,830
Kyle talking about the, the, the, the pajamas that

261
00:15:05,830 --> 00:15:06,470
he bought.

262
00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:07,190
>> Sarah : Yeah.

263
00:15:07,350 --> 00:15:10,910
>> Will: So whenever this episode aired and they were

264
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,670
walking, you know, in the bowels of. Of the bunker

265
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:17,350
and, you know, going. And he was having the

266
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:20,830
conversation about, you know, you know, the

267
00:15:21,150 --> 00:15:24,830
expensive indulgence and. And all that. And then

268
00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:31,330
when you have the, this. The moment there in the

269
00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:35,370
episode with Kyle talking to Sinatra about how,

270
00:15:36,010 --> 00:15:38,970
you know, empires don't fall on film.

271
00:15:39,690 --> 00:15:41,050
>> Sarah : Yeah, that happens at the end.

272
00:15:41,050 --> 00:15:45,860
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. that. I was just like, I love the

273
00:15:45,860 --> 00:15:49,140
symmetry and the bookends of that and, and for me,

274
00:15:49,140 --> 00:15:52,240
as someone who works annuity planning and that

275
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840
kind of stuff in my date. In my. In my. It's one

276
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,400
of the things that deal with. In my day job. I

277
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,840
just really, really. That. That whole thing really

278
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,120
resonated with me as far as. Just like everything

279
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,720
that Steve's greatness has one common thing they

280
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,520
think in common. They end. And you know, just.

281
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Just I think the hubris of the folks who built

282
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,940
this bunker and didn't like, come up with, you

283
00:16:19,940 --> 00:16:24,300
know, did not see. Did not in all the scenarios,

284
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:27,380
all the. All the smart people in the room and all,

285
00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:30,100
you know, all these brilliant folks, you know, it

286
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,060
was this Cowan and his. His common sense that

287
00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:37,300
really just like, you know, really, you pointed

288
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:43,980
out the faulty. The design defect in this bunker.

289
00:16:43,980 --> 00:16:47,330
And that's the thing I like about Kyle is, you

290
00:16:47,330 --> 00:16:50,330
know. Yeah, he just seems like this rube who just.

291
00:16:50,570 --> 00:16:53,090
That. That people just underestimate, especially

292
00:16:53,090 --> 00:16:55,250
because he's a pretty boy, but he's, you know, he

293
00:16:55,250 --> 00:17:00,170
has that. That innate street smarts, I guess, and.

294
00:17:00,170 --> 00:17:02,170
And I really, really like that scene.

295
00:17:03,050 --> 00:17:07,530
>> Sarah : Well, he. He. Mars didn't just in general. And a

296
00:17:07,530 --> 00:17:09,450
lot of the characters he plays, but especially

297
00:17:09,530 --> 00:17:14,880
this one, manages to walk that line of. At the

298
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,000
beginning of the episode while they're doing the

299
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,080
tour, he. There's that moment where it's like,

300
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,080
okay, dumb it down. Dumb it down again. Dumb it

301
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:32,200
down. Take it back, take it back. So. So he. He.

302
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,200
He knows his limits. He's like, I don't understand

303
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:44,890
that. I understand this. So it's this line of I. I

304
00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:47,730
hear what you're saying and what you've done, but

305
00:17:47,730 --> 00:17:50,570
I don't understand it. So you need to. You need to

306
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:55,540
talk as if you're talking to a third grader. and

307
00:17:55,540 --> 00:18:00,540
then the. The. The between the pajamas and then

308
00:18:00,780 --> 00:18:04,060
Helm's deep reenactment, which was great.

309
00:18:04,790 --> 00:18:05,190
>> Will: Yep.

310
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:13,150
>> Sarah : He. He starts to use, Use, use things that are

311
00:18:13,150 --> 00:18:17,190
relevant to him and that he understands to kind of

312
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:21,070
express, okay, so what if this happens? What if

313
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:28,790
the orgs evade? Like, he. He's able to then also

314
00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:32,400
in return say, okay, but what if. Worst case

315
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,040
scenario.

316
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:33,620
>> Will: Yeah.

317
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:40,910
>> Sarah : and. And it. So it allows then to be caught off

318
00:18:40,910 --> 00:18:45,910
guard when he has that. That final speech with

319
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:49,460
about, the falling of empires and everything. And

320
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:53,050
I thought, Samantha was interesting during that

321
00:18:53,050 --> 00:18:57,020
with some of the looks and. But it makes sense. It

322
00:18:57,020 --> 00:19:00,900
makes sense that the hubris, as you put it, got in

323
00:19:00,900 --> 00:19:04,140
the way of not only Samantha, but even the

324
00:19:04,140 --> 00:19:08,260
designer who we now meet in present day, who, who

325
00:19:08,260 --> 00:19:14,500
inadvertently was contributing as an org into the

326
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:20,780
downfall of this creation. It's. It's the, You

327
00:19:20,780 --> 00:19:23,060
want to create something, and so you get

328
00:19:23,060 --> 00:19:26,700
distracted so much by that final product and

329
00:19:26,780 --> 00:19:31,060
actually achieving it that you don't. You don't

330
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:34,580
see the flaws. But then again, very simply, at the

331
00:19:34,580 --> 00:19:38,940
beginning, Cal says he does not want the bunker to

332
00:19:38,940 --> 00:19:44,140
be the. To be. He wants. No, he wants the bunker

333
00:19:44,220 --> 00:19:45,820
to become the pajamas.

334
00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:46,690
>> Will: Yeah.

335
00:19:46,850 --> 00:19:53,010
>> Sarah : Samantha has never not wanted the bunker to not

336
00:19:53,010 --> 00:19:57,410
only be built and work efficiently, but to be

337
00:19:57,410 --> 00:20:02,810
used. And that motivation and objective allows

338
00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:05,290
them to have a different perspective during this

339
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:11,380
whole, review of the. Of the, Of what's been set

340
00:20:11,380 --> 00:20:12,780
up and how it will work.

341
00:20:13,470 --> 00:20:13,790
>> Will: Yeah.

342
00:20:14,190 --> 00:20:18,710
>> Sarah : So that. That objectivity is granted to Cal and

343
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:22,340
not to Samantha. and. And she doesn't want to see

344
00:20:22,340 --> 00:20:24,380
it. She does not want to see it. She doesn't want

345
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:27,780
to hear it because she is so close to what she

346
00:20:27,780 --> 00:20:35,500
wants. and. And she. She also strongly believes,

347
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:37,620
like, the end of world will happen and there's

348
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:40,340
nothing we can do about it. And so I'm doing this.

349
00:20:41,290 --> 00:20:43,770
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she. Yeah, she, you know, she,

350
00:20:44,170 --> 00:20:46,890
you know, not only the. The volcano, but also, you

351
00:20:46,890 --> 00:20:49,490
know, go back to think of doctor. Dr. Luge, you

352
00:20:49,490 --> 00:20:53,450
know, talking about the. The. The warming part

353
00:20:53,450 --> 00:20:54,250
two. Yeah.

354
00:20:55,450 --> 00:20:59,740
>> Sarah : Which we haven't seen yet. We're not, so that's

355
00:20:59,740 --> 00:21:04,870
still something out there. Where we. At, the

356
00:21:04,870 --> 00:21:07,700
beginning of the season, they brought up Act 2

357
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,500
very purposely. And so. And I think now looking

358
00:21:11,500 --> 00:21:14,940
back at it, it's kind of a red herring for Alex.

359
00:21:15,420 --> 00:21:15,860
>> Will: Yeah.

360
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:20,860
>> Sarah : When. When Act 2 is something else altogether,

361
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:23,820
which we'll probably see. and they'll deal more

362
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:25,940
with in season three, I would imagine, because

363
00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:28,900
there. I don't. I don't suspect they didn't. They

364
00:21:28,900 --> 00:21:31,860
brought it up for it to just be a throwaway thing.

365
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:34,310
>> Will: No, no. Everything in this show, as we've seen so

366
00:21:34,310 --> 00:21:37,030
far in these first, these two seasons, everything

367
00:21:37,030 --> 00:21:37,870
has a purpose.

368
00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:40,510
>> Sarah : Like it or don't.

369
00:21:41,470 --> 00:21:42,750
>> Will: Exactly. Exactly.

370
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:44,350
>> Sarah : Whether it's annoying or not.

371
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:45,980
>> Will: Yeah.

372
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:49,660
>> Sarah : Well. Well, I'm glad we started there let's,

373
00:21:49,660 --> 00:21:52,340
before we get more into present day bunker

374
00:21:52,340 --> 00:21:54,750
shenanigans, let's, let's talk about Xavier and

375
00:21:54,750 --> 00:21:57,590
Terry. Yeah, yeah, they're there. And Terry and

376
00:21:57,590 --> 00:22:02,820
Bean. And I have, I have one note I really want to

377
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:07,270
talk about in terms of the Xavier Terry reunion is

378
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:11,300
the, the redundant line of we got a lot of catch

379
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:14,740
up on and I wrote in parentheses. Yeah, like your

380
00:22:14,740 --> 00:22:16,380
white adopted children.

381
00:22:17,180 --> 00:22:19,100
>> Will: Yeah, the inverse. This is us.

382
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:24,060
>> Sarah : It's never not gonna be funny to me.

383
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:27,900
>> Will: I thought when I saw whenever she delivered that

384
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:31,830
line and when they were talking about, like, like

385
00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:32,790
you don't, you don't.

386
00:22:32,790 --> 00:22:33,310
>> Sarah : You gotta.

387
00:22:33,790 --> 00:22:36,750
>> Will: I heard, yeah, I heard your voice in my head as I,

388
00:22:36,750 --> 00:22:39,150
I literally laughed out loud whenever, whenever

389
00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:41,710
they were, they said that. And then also as they

390
00:22:41,710 --> 00:22:44,390
were walking together, and you know, they're

391
00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:47,510
talking about the dating pool and stuff and you're

392
00:22:47,510 --> 00:22:49,230
like, and she was like, oh, he's white. Yeah,

393
00:22:49,230 --> 00:22:50,550
yeah, so, yeah,

394
00:22:52,710 --> 00:22:57,490
>> Sarah : yeah, yeah, the dating pool line. Classic, classic

395
00:22:57,490 --> 00:23:01,660
Fogelman, from this is Us as well. I, I know that.

396
00:23:03,050 --> 00:23:06,070
but what are, what are some of your thoughts

397
00:23:06,070 --> 00:23:10,740
about, Terry, Xavier, Gary and Bean?

398
00:23:11,380 --> 00:23:14,540
>> Will: Yeah, so I guess what, Terry and ah, Xavier just

399
00:23:14,540 --> 00:23:17,190
started with them first. and also just the other

400
00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:21,520
thing as far as catching up. I know I, I, I, I, I

401
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,640
have a different, a better appreciation now of

402
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,000
episode two and the, and the flashback of them

403
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,430
meeting. because I think it, it, it definitely

404
00:23:32,430 --> 00:23:39,230
helps to, to me it just sort of helped flesh the

405
00:23:39,470 --> 00:23:41,870
flesh out their relationship before, before. And,

406
00:23:41,950 --> 00:23:44,110
and we, I touched on that some, whenever we talked

407
00:23:44,110 --> 00:23:47,680
about it, in, in the, in the review we did of

408
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,880
that, of that episode. But also the, the, the line

409
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,600
as far as people, you know, both of them, you

410
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,600
know, constantly saying, you know, I, I have to

411
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,840
check, you know, I got to keep catch up on things.

412
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,360
And you know, and you know, and, and you know we

413
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:03,560
see, we see the, the, the, the three years of

414
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,400
Xavier, wherever he, you know, he, he's had to do

415
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,000
things outside the bunker to survive, you know,

416
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,440
because he had the protection. You know, he had

417
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,160
to, he's always been that protective bubble of,

418
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,130
you know, being the protective as a Secret Service

419
00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:23,200
agent for the president. and, and you know, and

420
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:27,400
we, we see that now where he's doing that with,

421
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,470
with Terry there after they get reunited. the

422
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:32,670
other thing too, I just have, just as an aside,

423
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:37,490
you know, I wonder if they're gonna get into the

424
00:24:37,490 --> 00:24:40,240
whole Xavier and the Robbie thing from, season

425
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,130
one. But it's Just Yeah, yeah, but as far as

426
00:24:44,130 --> 00:24:48,050
explaining things, but, but that being said, the

427
00:24:48,050 --> 00:24:50,960
other thing with Bean, you know, we see how, you

428
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,880
know, to your point about you know, adopting the

429
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,610
white kids, you know, Terry has, you know, she

430
00:24:56,610 --> 00:25:00,730
sees that as, as her family and it was part of her

431
00:25:01,370 --> 00:25:07,640
motivations to to help ground her in this, in this

432
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:13,080
folks apocalyptic world and gave her you know, you

433
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,120
know, I guess some, some meaning and is trying to

434
00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:18,560
make sure that he, that you know, that the kid is

435
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,400
going to be okay. And then of course, you know, we

436
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,040
see the delivery of the note and, and then of

437
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,530
course that goes to Gary and, and I really you

438
00:25:26,530 --> 00:25:33,520
know, I think I was really wondering, I didn't

439
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,200
think, you know, even though they kept teasing the

440
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,500
moment of that that you know, that Xavier was

441
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:40,100
gonna have to take him out. I never thought that

442
00:25:40,100 --> 00:25:42,860
was going to be the case. I, I, I, I really like,

443
00:25:43,180 --> 00:25:45,460
I really thought that Terry would get through to

444
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:49,580
him. But whenever, you know, when, when Gary

445
00:25:49,820 --> 00:25:56,740
basically tells Terry ah, to you know, just you

446
00:25:56,740 --> 00:26:00,040
know, that you know, tell him about when Gary

447
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200
tells him tell, you know, she, she says she,

448
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,810
she'll tell him about the man who saved us. You

449
00:26:04,810 --> 00:26:08,170
know, whenever they walked out of the mail, the

450
00:26:08,170 --> 00:26:12,130
mail office, I, I, I half expected to hear a

451
00:26:12,130 --> 00:26:14,770
gunshot because I really thought Gary was g, his

452
00:26:14,770 --> 00:26:19,220
world ended at that point. but, and it, but I

453
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:21,940
think it's implied and I, and I appreciate that

454
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:26,620
they didn't just, just do that but I, I don't know

455
00:26:26,620 --> 00:26:30,550
if that was your take on with what he committed

456
00:26:32,310 --> 00:26:33,030
>> Sarah : suicide.

457
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:37,270
>> Will: I, I, I false. I, I really, I half expected here,

458
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:40,150
here and him. Yeah. Take his own life after she,

459
00:26:40,230 --> 00:26:41,550
after she left the post office.

460
00:26:41,550 --> 00:26:44,350
>> Sarah : But no, I understand that. But you said, then you

461
00:26:44,350 --> 00:26:45,350
said it's implied.

462
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:50,150
>> Will: Yeah, I just maybe, maybe. Well I'm just, I mean

463
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:52,350
maybe that's what we're supposed to take away as

464
00:26:52,350 --> 00:26:54,310
viewers instead of putting it on the news of us

465
00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:55,670
actually hearing him do it.

466
00:26:58,170 --> 00:27:02,050
>> Sarah : No, that doesn't seem like this show. It's all the

467
00:27:02,050 --> 00:27:04,130
telegraphing that happened in this episode. I

468
00:27:04,130 --> 00:27:09,050
doubt that. I don't, I don't think that you, there

469
00:27:09,050 --> 00:27:13,570
would be that line. Yes, I will tell him about the

470
00:27:13,570 --> 00:27:18,290
man who saved us. And then it's implied that Gary

471
00:27:18,290 --> 00:27:22,410
took his own life. Okay, I, I just, I, that

472
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:24,730
doesn't add up to me and I don't, I don't find

473
00:27:24,730 --> 00:27:27,010
that as an implication. But everyone's entitled to

474
00:27:27,010 --> 00:27:30,390
their interpretation of how that scene scene plays

475
00:27:30,390 --> 00:27:33,640
up out. but yeah,

476
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,640
>> Will: or maybe Gary just, you know, he just figures out

477
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,840
a way to pull himself together and, you know, have

478
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,680
to live with the consequences of killing his best

479
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,520
friend, you know.

480
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:46,720
>> Sarah : Well, she tells him you have an opportunity to

481
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,320
start over again. Like what he's done over the

482
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,080
last three years won't define him if he doesn't

483
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,840
let it. And you can't unchange something like

484
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:07,920
that. So theoretically. So you. I. Yeah, I, I

485
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,800
don't know. We might even see Gary again for all I

486
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:11,080
know.

487
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:12,600
>> Will: That's very possible.

488
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:20,010
>> Sarah : That's always a possibility. but the, the thing is

489
00:28:20,010 --> 00:28:25,820
that, is that he he doesn't take his life at the

490
00:28:25,820 --> 00:28:27,260
end of the day. So.

491
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:28,060
>> Will: Yeah.

492
00:28:28,220 --> 00:28:28,940
>> Sarah : I don't know.

493
00:28:29,180 --> 00:28:30,540
>> Will: Yeah, no, yeah.

494
00:28:31,020 --> 00:28:34,980
>> Sarah : This whole storyline kind of. It, it was fine. It

495
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:37,540
was necessary. I understand Xavier's lead of her

496
00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:40,300
show. However, there's so much other stuff going

497
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:46,830
on that is. It kind of drug this down a bit. But

498
00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:51,900
All right, so that brings us to present day in the

499
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:55,080
bunker. you've already brought her up. So we will

500
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,680
talk about the Robbie's increased paranoia because

501
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,720
I, I called it last week of how stupid she was to

502
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,440
confront Jane. Only then now for her to

503
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,040
immediately show like she realizes how stupid she

504
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,040
was and then she ups Annie and ups Annie again.

505
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,640
And then, you know, to go back to Terry. Terry

506
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,240
told Xavier what we murdering people now? Well,

507
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,200
his mistresses. His mistresses.

508
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,610
>> Will: Yeah. She's gonna. Yeah, I, yeah, she is. And

509
00:29:28,610 --> 00:29:30,290
she's gonna have to definitely, you know.

510
00:29:31,170 --> 00:29:34,510
>> Sarah : And what is the consequences? what is with this

511
00:29:34,510 --> 00:29:37,930
character and the shower? Okay. Because we all

512
00:29:37,930 --> 00:29:40,450
know what happened in season one in the shower.

513
00:29:40,930 --> 00:29:44,960
Now this, now this. This is my villain of the

514
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:45,560
show. No,

515
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,570
>> Will: I was wondering if, if if the Robbie was gonna get

516
00:29:52,570 --> 00:29:54,610
a redemption arc for you there, but I guess not.

517
00:29:55,170 --> 00:29:58,210
>> Sarah : It's hard. It's hard. If people have been with us

518
00:29:58,210 --> 00:30:00,730
long enough. If you've heard me about various

519
00:30:00,730 --> 00:30:02,970
clothes, it's very hard to get redemption. You

520
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:05,970
might earn redemption with general public. Be it

521
00:30:06,570 --> 00:30:09,530
with me, it's like pulling teeth. Pulling teeth.

522
00:30:09,530 --> 00:30:14,480
It takes a lot. What? other shenanigans. Hadley.

523
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:14,520
>> Will: Ah.

524
00:30:14,940 --> 00:30:15,660
>> Sarah : And Presley.

525
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:16,700
>> Will: Yeah.

526
00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:20,300
>> Sarah : Continuing to see them. Hadley is very

527
00:30:20,300 --> 00:30:24,050
interesting. she. I'm like, when are we gonna get

528
00:30:24,050 --> 00:30:28,370
a flashback with her and going down and she. It's

529
00:30:28,370 --> 00:30:32,050
like she's bubble girl. You get this feeling as

530
00:30:32,050 --> 00:30:36,300
though Samantha and her dad inadvertently did put

531
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:40,420
her in a buttable and she has, has been locked in

532
00:30:40,420 --> 00:30:42,900
there a lot longer than they've all been in the

533
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:43,500
bunker.

534
00:30:43,740 --> 00:30:44,130
>> Will: Yeah.

535
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:49,490
>> Sarah : which is very opposite of Presley, who has had to

536
00:30:49,490 --> 00:30:55,050
step up in this absence of her mother and been.

537
00:30:55,850 --> 00:31:00,560
Been more of a caretaker role. so I. I like the

538
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:05,480
pairing. And I also. I mean, we're gonna get more.

539
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,280
Because now they're stuck in an elevator.

540
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,960
>> Will: Yep. Yeah. Gotta figure out how to get out.

541
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,840
>> Sarah : Yeah. Which. Which is not good because

542
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:19,480
simultaneously, while they are going down to. I

543
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,560
don't know, it's. It's just this funny idea. Okay,

544
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,830
so we think we know Jeremy's down there and other

545
00:31:26,830 --> 00:31:29,950
people potentially too. So we're just going to use

546
00:31:29,950 --> 00:31:32,670
the elevator. Even though there's probably going

547
00:31:32,670 --> 00:31:37,070
to be armed guards. We think there's a prison down

548
00:31:37,070 --> 00:31:39,190
there, but we're just going to go down and use the

549
00:31:39,190 --> 00:31:41,350
elevator, you know, and just walk out and

550
00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:44,390
everything will be fine. Totally allowed. Totally

551
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:47,190
allowed to be down there. The. The. The bracelet

552
00:31:47,190 --> 00:31:47,870
says so.

553
00:31:48,350 --> 00:31:50,990
>> Will: Yeah, exactly. The bracelet says so. Yeah, well,

554
00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:54,110
you know. Yeah, well, you know, we are, you know,

555
00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:58,260
two to Robson's point. You know, you know, we're

556
00:31:58,260 --> 00:31:59,860
dealing with young kids here, so they had thought.

557
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:02,100
They haven't thought A to B to C, so.

558
00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:07,620
>> Sarah : Well, they may not have thought about aid A to Z,

559
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:10,500
but. But Jeremy has definitely thought about his

560
00:32:10,580 --> 00:32:13,180
feelings towards Robinson and the fact that he was

561
00:32:13,180 --> 00:32:17,980
sleeping with his father. And I, I, you know, for

562
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:21,430
a moment there, he was in the lead, and then she.

563
00:32:21,670 --> 00:32:24,910
She, she did a right hook. And so now I'm like,

564
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:27,150
okay, we're tied. We're even with the verbal

565
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:28,830
sparring that occurred between these two

566
00:32:28,830 --> 00:32:30,070
characters this episode.

567
00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:31,590
>> Will: Yeah, indeed.

568
00:32:31,590 --> 00:32:35,780
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. But, Robinson, I don't think, has been

569
00:32:36,180 --> 00:32:40,620
utilized to the fullest potential this season. To

570
00:32:40,620 --> 00:32:43,660
the point where I forgot she had an affair with

571
00:32:43,660 --> 00:32:44,020
Cal.

572
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:45,180
>> Will: Yeah.

573
00:32:45,180 --> 00:32:49,440
>> Sarah : Until way later this season. And now that we're

574
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,520
getting that, it's very interesting. And then in

575
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,880
the back of my mind, these conversations also just

576
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,560
remind me, so where is. Where's Jeremy's mom?

577
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,320
We've suffered in the first season. I've never

578
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,040
seen her since.

579
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,320
>> Will: No, no, we really.

580
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:08,370
>> Sarah : Yeah.

581
00:33:08,370 --> 00:33:13,170
>> Will: I mean, that's the thing. The Bunker really has,

582
00:33:13,170 --> 00:33:18,460
like, only focused on the. The key core characters

583
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:19,690
this season. because,

584
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:23,600
>> Sarah : Well, there's so much going on. I feel like the

585
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,280
bunker, there's a lot of momentum, especially

586
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,360
within these last two to three episodes, because,

587
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,640
I mean, call the episode what it is, final

588
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,280
countdown.

589
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,080
>> Will: Yeah.

590
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,890
>> Sarah : And so you suddenly have all of these, for lack of

591
00:33:40,890 --> 00:33:44,510
a better word, plot devices happening, so you

592
00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:48,310
can't really delve deep into the characters that

593
00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:51,790
are in the bunker, which honestly, at the same

594
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:54,630
time, we were in the bunker the whole first

595
00:33:54,630 --> 00:33:54,990
season.

596
00:33:55,310 --> 00:33:58,190
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's by design, clearly.

597
00:33:58,190 --> 00:34:02,300
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. what. Any, Anything else you want to

598
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:09,200
add in about Jeremy and, Robinson's, play to

599
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,320
release the gates?

600
00:34:11,370 --> 00:34:13,410
>> Will: no, I think we touched on, I think we touched on

601
00:34:13,410 --> 00:34:17,900
it from the fail safe, earlier and yeah, so, yeah,

602
00:34:17,900 --> 00:34:21,740
we can, we can definitely move on to, to the Alex

603
00:34:21,740 --> 00:34:23,420
and Sinatra and Link.

604
00:34:24,700 --> 00:34:27,340
>> Sarah : All right. What you want to talk about?

605
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,700
>> Will: Well, I mean, of course, you know, you know,

606
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:32,640
Sinatra is back in charge and you know, they, you

607
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,970
know, to your point, you know, to. Since we were

608
00:34:34,970 --> 00:34:38,010
talking about the, the, the, the fail safe and

609
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:40,050
the, and the, and the protocol. Because now of

610
00:34:40,050 --> 00:34:43,160
course, you know, they, they, they were, you know,

611
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,560
the billionaires all were considering, you know,

612
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,920
you know, going into lockdown protocol because of,

613
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,530
of the concerns of the, group outside the, the

614
00:34:51,530 --> 00:34:55,320
bunker. And, and But no, I mean, you know, but

615
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,440
Sina.

616
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,560
>> Sarah : So we had the negotiations. In this episode, what

617
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800
did, what did you think about the conversation

618
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,390
that occurred between Alex or not Alex, Sam and

619
00:35:08,390 --> 00:35:10,630
Link in this episode?

620
00:35:11,590 --> 00:35:15,790
>> Will: I, you know, I, I really enjoyed that. Even

621
00:35:15,790 --> 00:35:21,440
though, it was very revealing. I just, I, I like

622
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,420
the sparring that was going on, but between,

623
00:35:25,660 --> 00:35:27,620
between the two of them as far as just kind of

624
00:35:27,620 --> 00:35:33,490
filling each other out. and, and you know, in, you

625
00:35:33,490 --> 00:35:36,450
know, the whole apple pie thing, it, you know, it

626
00:35:36,450 --> 00:35:43,730
was just they, you know, Julianne Nicholson and

627
00:35:43,730 --> 00:35:46,050
Thomas Daughtry just really played well off each

628
00:35:46,050 --> 00:35:51,510
other. as far as. Just like these two adversaries

629
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:54,830
trying to find, you know, trying to see if one of

630
00:35:54,830 --> 00:35:56,670
them is going to slip and then they could, the

631
00:35:56,670 --> 00:35:58,230
other person could take advantage of that.

632
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:04,510
>> Sarah : I just was distracted on. I didn't realize how

633
00:36:04,510 --> 00:36:08,870
much they have the same eyes throughout the entire

634
00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:12,710
scene. So, I mean, I knew where it was headed.

635
00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:13,760
>> Will: Yeah, same.

636
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,760
>> Sarah : so with the Dylan and then. I don't know why, I

637
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,960
don't know why we felt the need to add in the line

638
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,560
about what's your birth date? I was like, come on.

639
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,520
Okay.

640
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,240
>> Will: Yeah, well, they set it up. They did set it up

641
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:28,440
earlier with Hadley. So.

642
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,320
>> Sarah : No, that's why I don't think it's needed. Like,

643
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,840
dude, so this is what I'm saying with Telegraph,

644
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,840
all the telegraphing that was happening this

645
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,080
episode, it's like, you're okay. Awesome. Like,

646
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,600
like it, it didn't, it was not lost on me. Okay,

647
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,480
so we, we've known about the dead kid for two

648
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,920
seasons and this is the first episode in which we

649
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,880
hear the name and the set, and the first time we

650
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,040
hear a birth date.

651
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,120
>> Sarah : I wonder what's gonna happen.

652
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:58,120
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

653
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,240
>> Sarah : So. So it's. It's not. And. And I also understand,

654
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:11,060
Or I think, I guess, that the. It's. It's not

655
00:37:11,060 --> 00:37:15,790
technically the same kid. it's a kid from a

656
00:37:15,790 --> 00:37:18,830
different parallel universe, and Alex is the

657
00:37:18,830 --> 00:37:22,790
bridge between the two. The two universes.

658
00:37:23,190 --> 00:37:23,750
>> Will: Yeah.

659
00:37:23,890 --> 00:37:27,690
>> Sarah : two or more. I also. Hold on. I took a screenshot

660
00:37:27,690 --> 00:37:32,230
of this, M. Because I thought it was funny. And I

661
00:37:32,230 --> 00:37:39,100
have, Alex, an acronym. A is for Annie, L is for

662
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:44,100
Link, E is for Elvis, their daughter, and X is for

663
00:37:44,100 --> 00:37:44,860
Xavier.

664
00:37:45,660 --> 00:37:46,140
>> Will: Oh.

665
00:37:47,260 --> 00:37:47,660
>> Sarah : Because.

666
00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:48,620
>> Will: Yeah.

667
00:37:48,620 --> 00:37:52,700
>> Sarah : And. And why Screenshot. That is because in this

668
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:56,400
episode, while all that was happening, especially

669
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,710
at the, end where we're seeing Xavier on the train

670
00:38:00,710 --> 00:38:02,750
and again, get the bloody nose.

671
00:38:03,150 --> 00:38:03,790
>> Will: Yep.

672
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,360
>> Sarah : that's my missing piece right now. And I'm not

673
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,480
hearing anyone speculate too strongly about that,

674
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:17,440
about how does he fit into this, because he's been

675
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,900
on the west coast for all of this season. And, I

676
00:38:22,900 --> 00:38:28,460
mean, other than the delivering the baby. But he.

677
00:38:28,540 --> 00:38:32,820
And. And I. And I. From what I understand, the

678
00:38:32,820 --> 00:38:37,220
bloody nose is encountering blood that's from the

679
00:38:37,220 --> 00:38:43,450
parallel universe. Like, that's why. So the baby

680
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:49,330
has Link's blood in her. So. So that's why. But I

681
00:38:49,330 --> 00:38:52,290
didn't see Terry get a bloody nose. So I also

682
00:38:52,290 --> 00:38:56,330
don't know. And I don't know why everybody around,

683
00:38:56,490 --> 00:38:59,730
like all of Link's men, they're not getting bloody

684
00:38:59,730 --> 00:39:00,810
noses all the time.

685
00:39:00,970 --> 00:39:03,770
>> Will: So remember. Remember, one person did get a bloody

686
00:39:03,770 --> 00:39:05,320
nose. That, Billy.

687
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,160
>> Sarah : Yeah, that's what I. That's what I'm saying. Like,

688
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,960
when Billy saw him. Yeah, he got a bloody nose.

689
00:39:12,450 --> 00:39:16,650
Yeah, but. But. Okay, so only select people are

690
00:39:16,650 --> 00:39:17,810
getting bloody noses.

691
00:39:18,930 --> 00:39:22,130
>> Will: Well, maybe it's because. Well, because. Because

692
00:39:22,130 --> 00:39:25,130
here's the thing. So. Well, at the time when

693
00:39:25,130 --> 00:39:29,350
Xavier, Thinking back to episode two, he was

694
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:33,350
basically over tenant Nash. Over. Over Memphis.

695
00:39:34,550 --> 00:39:34,950
>> Sarah : Yeah.

696
00:39:34,950 --> 00:39:37,470
>> Will: And Link was also there. So that could be a

697
00:39:37,470 --> 00:39:37,910
connection.

698
00:39:38,540 --> 00:39:41,500
>> Sarah : Well, no, no, Link wasn't there.

699
00:39:41,900 --> 00:39:42,620
>> Will: No, he was.

700
00:39:42,860 --> 00:39:46,260
>> Sarah : Was. Link was on the train leaving. He had already

701
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:49,140
left. Annie was very pregnant by the timing.

702
00:39:49,140 --> 00:39:56,420
Xavier arrived. Yeah, so it. It took. It. He. It's

703
00:39:56,420 --> 00:39:59,860
gonna. It took Link longer to get to Colorado than

704
00:39:59,860 --> 00:40:02,900
it will Xavier, which is another thing that I'm

705
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:04,460
trying not to think too hard about.

706
00:40:05,180 --> 00:40:08,140
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's a good point. I mean, I

707
00:40:08,140 --> 00:40:10,860
guess you could say that maybe they Their, their

708
00:40:10,940 --> 00:40:14,620
past intersect intercepted on the en route. But.

709
00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:17,260
>> Sarah : Right, right, it's more to do with the baby.

710
00:40:17,580 --> 00:40:18,140
>> Will: Yeah.

711
00:40:18,460 --> 00:40:23,060
>> Sarah : And, and her blood that it is with Link being

712
00:40:23,060 --> 00:40:26,220
there because Link was already well gone.

713
00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:29,490
>> Will: yeah, but Xavier got the nosebleed on the, in the

714
00:40:29,490 --> 00:40:30,290
plane flying.

715
00:40:30,290 --> 00:40:33,670
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. When. Right, when he crashed. Yeah,

716
00:40:33,670 --> 00:40:36,350
like right before he crashed. So he was definitely

717
00:40:36,830 --> 00:40:38,910
nowhere near Link at that point.

718
00:40:39,310 --> 00:40:41,630
>> Will: Right. And then there is, there is the, there is

719
00:40:41,630 --> 00:40:44,430
the, You know, Xavier, you know, when he was there

720
00:40:44,430 --> 00:40:48,999
with Annie and again, very pregnant, you know,

721
00:40:48,999 --> 00:40:51,480
when he, he had that vision of Link whenever he

722
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:51,760
was,

723
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:55,590
>> Sarah : Yeah, there, there's the, the visions. Yeah, the

724
00:40:55,590 --> 00:41:00,360
visions that have been not answered to. And so

725
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:05,200
somehow Xavier is definitely connected. He ain't

726
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,120
no baby father. So I, I'm still trying to figure

727
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,920
out how he, he's, he's connected because bloody

728
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,920
nose aside. Yeah, there, there's, there's other

729
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,960
things, but I would like to understand this

730
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,680
selectivity that the bloody nose is happening.

731
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,100
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. Because I know Dylan, I know Link. You

732
00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:28,540
know, he did have the bloody nose outside because,

733
00:41:28,540 --> 00:41:30,380
you know, because, you know, because Geiger had to

734
00:41:30,380 --> 00:41:33,540
like, help him with the one bloody nose. I think

735
00:41:33,540 --> 00:41:37,180
at episode one as well. So.

736
00:41:37,580 --> 00:41:41,890
>> Sarah : Well, maybe, maybe. Maybe at the end of the

737
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:44,410
season, this season. And this is why we're getting

738
00:41:44,410 --> 00:41:47,250
the third season, Xavier ends up in the alternate

739
00:41:47,410 --> 00:41:48,050
dimension.

740
00:41:48,610 --> 00:41:48,930
>> Will: Yeah.

741
00:41:49,170 --> 00:41:53,490
>> Sarah : The parallel universe. Like, and, and there, there

742
00:41:53,490 --> 00:41:57,570
is a mix between, between this.

743
00:41:58,710 --> 00:42:01,230
>> Sarah : Because, because I mean, if we're getting a third

744
00:42:01,230 --> 00:42:04,390
season, Xavier and Terry can't be happy for too

745
00:42:04,390 --> 00:42:05,670
long with their white children.

746
00:42:06,150 --> 00:42:08,550
>> Will: Right, right. Yeah. Yeah, well, yeah, because we,

747
00:42:08,550 --> 00:42:10,630
we definitely, you know, we definitely do know

748
00:42:10,630 --> 00:42:15,840
that Alex is, is a machine. More likely than not.

749
00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:16,720
>> Sarah : Yeah.

750
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,560
>> Will: Yeah. Because it's just a way, you know, and to

751
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:24,240
your point, I, I love how you, how you have like

752
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,480
basically used that as an. You know, Alex is an

753
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,760
acronym for those key people.

754
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,960
>> Sarah : Yeah, it's. I didn't, I don't claim doing that. I

755
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,360
am just a messenger here. Somebody else posted

756
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,280
that and I screenshotted it because I thought it

757
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,810
was clever and you know that Annie's baby can't be

758
00:42:40,810 --> 00:42:43,170
named that forever. So if we're gonna call it

759
00:42:43,170 --> 00:42:46,450
Elvis, let's do that. And, and maybe, maybe that's

760
00:42:46,450 --> 00:42:49,290
another reason why the, in next week's episode,

761
00:42:49,290 --> 00:42:51,570
Xavier will end up in the parallel universe

762
00:42:51,570 --> 00:42:56,170
because Link ends up taking Candy's baby, AKA

763
00:42:56,170 --> 00:42:56,810
Elvis.

764
00:42:57,050 --> 00:42:58,010
>> Will: Yeah, so sweet.

765
00:42:58,090 --> 00:43:01,930
>> Sarah : And she, he, he has an issue with that. So.

766
00:43:02,570 --> 00:43:05,450
>> Will: And we did. Yeah. And we did see in this episode

767
00:43:05,450 --> 00:43:08,790
too. We did see the. The. The corridor of lights.

768
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,660
so maybe that is, you know, maybe that is.

769
00:43:11,660 --> 00:43:14,700
Whereas, you know, Xavier is getting taken to the

770
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:16,860
parallel universe by Link because Link looked back

771
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:18,060
at him. So.

772
00:43:18,060 --> 00:43:18,500
>> Sarah : Yeah.

773
00:43:18,580 --> 00:43:20,180
>> Will: When they had that vision. Yeah.

774
00:43:20,340 --> 00:43:24,580
>> Sarah : Yeah, it's. We're gonna find out answers, get some

775
00:43:24,580 --> 00:43:29,560
more questions, probably next week. well, that

776
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,540
brings us to One Piece, Season two. We have

777
00:43:33,540 --> 00:43:39,010
episodes four, five, six to talk about, to start

778
00:43:39,010 --> 00:43:43,170
us off. Big trouble in little Little Garden. Will,

779
00:43:43,250 --> 00:43:47,290
what was your take on the giants and the

780
00:43:47,290 --> 00:43:48,690
prehistoric island?

781
00:43:50,210 --> 00:43:54,850
>> Will: I really, really enjoyed the giants.

782
00:43:55,650 --> 00:43:58,170
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. They grew on you, for sure. They grew

783
00:43:58,170 --> 00:43:58,850
on everybody.

784
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,450
>> Will: Yeah, they grew on everyone for. Yeah. but, you

785
00:44:02,450 --> 00:44:06,010
know, the fourth episode, to me was really just a.

786
00:44:06,810 --> 00:44:10,210
A. It felt like a bridge episode in a lot of

787
00:44:10,210 --> 00:44:12,090
respects because, you know, we had everything sort

788
00:44:12,090 --> 00:44:14,890
of set up with the first. With the first three.

789
00:44:15,210 --> 00:44:17,290
We're now into the grand line. Of course, we, you

790
00:44:17,290 --> 00:44:20,920
know, of course we get the. We get the, tease by.

791
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,160
We'll get the opening scene with,

792
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:25,760
>> Sarah : Miss All Sunday.

793
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:30,120
>> Will: Yeah, Sunday. Just, you know, we'll give them the

794
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,680
option with the. With the,

795
00:44:32,030 --> 00:44:33,150
>> Sarah : Eternal post office.

796
00:44:33,550 --> 00:44:33,990
>> Will: Yeah.

797
00:44:33,990 --> 00:44:37,870
>> Sarah : Eternal log posts. Not. Not just any log post, an

798
00:44:37,870 --> 00:44:39,390
internal log post.

799
00:44:39,870 --> 00:44:40,750
>> Will: Yeah, yeah.

800
00:44:40,830 --> 00:44:44,670
>> Sarah : See, I. I disagree with you with this episode

801
00:44:44,670 --> 00:44:49,610
being a bridge episode, because I. Episodes four

802
00:44:49,770 --> 00:44:54,570
and five, we're all on. We're still on the island.

803
00:44:54,970 --> 00:44:57,850
Like, it's very much like these two episodes

804
00:44:57,850 --> 00:45:00,530
together. I'm so glad we inadvertently watched

805
00:45:00,530 --> 00:45:04,730
them together because they. They just flow into

806
00:45:04,730 --> 00:45:09,050
one giant episode, even to the point where a lot

807
00:45:09,050 --> 00:45:14,090
of the themes, specifically about Usopp the hero,

808
00:45:14,940 --> 00:45:18,100
is all set up in the fourth episode. And you get

809
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:22,570
the payoff in the fifth. Yeah, yeah, which was

810
00:45:22,570 --> 00:45:26,540
really done well. And he. He kind of, I was like,

811
00:45:26,540 --> 00:45:29,619
okay, somebody heard that I was putting down Yusuf

812
00:45:29,619 --> 00:45:33,740
last week, so they decided to give him a big arc.

813
00:45:34,460 --> 00:45:36,860
>> Will: They gave him a big arc. Indeed. I mean, I guess

814
00:45:36,860 --> 00:45:38,820
the reason why I said it was just a bridge is. I

815
00:45:38,820 --> 00:45:40,540
mean, to your point, I mean, it was. I guess it

816
00:45:40,540 --> 00:45:42,530
was a bridge into this next arc.

817
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:43,480
>> Sarah : Yeah.

818
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,520
>> Will: Maybe I didn't articulate it, as well as you put

819
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,030
it, but that really is, Where. Where I was. Where.

820
00:45:49,030 --> 00:45:52,380
Where I was thinking about that as far as, it

821
00:45:52,380 --> 00:45:53,140
being a bridge.

822
00:45:53,780 --> 00:45:58,740
>> Sarah : Yeah, Ed. And we. We have Yusuf, who, in. Is very

823
00:45:58,740 --> 00:46:01,140
afraid of the island, not even getting off the

824
00:46:01,140 --> 00:46:05,100
ship then, because everyone else is exploring it.

825
00:46:05,100 --> 00:46:09,000
Ryan riding dinosaurs, killing T. Rexes with a

826
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,520
kick. Okay. Okay, Sanji, I have to. I have to say

827
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,640
Zoro's my guy. And I may be a little biased here,

828
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:24,080
but you did not kill a T. Rex. You did not just

829
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:30,060
drop it. Okay. but. But we. We get. And it's not

830
00:46:30,060 --> 00:46:32,980
just you step. We get a lot of. A lot of different

831
00:46:32,980 --> 00:46:36,180
things going on. The rivalry between Zorro and

832
00:46:36,180 --> 00:46:40,170
Sanji two starts to come up again because of the

833
00:46:40,170 --> 00:46:45,470
pairings that occur. and then also through these

834
00:46:45,470 --> 00:46:49,110
two episodes in particular, you see Vivi the

835
00:46:49,110 --> 00:46:55,830
Princess having a foot still out the door. She

836
00:46:55,830 --> 00:46:59,110
doesn't want to be a burden. She. She doesn't. She

837
00:46:59,110 --> 00:47:02,030
really needs to get back to her kingdom. But she's

838
00:47:02,030 --> 00:47:07,100
also very much. How does. How does Nami put.

839
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:12,580
Explain, Luffy to her One day you'll just get it.

840
00:47:12,580 --> 00:47:13,220
You'll just.

841
00:47:14,740 --> 00:47:15,300
>> Will: Yep.

842
00:47:15,620 --> 00:47:19,380
>> Sarah : Yeah, you'll just see it. And. And so in these

843
00:47:19,380 --> 00:47:22,300
episodes, you're also finding her very much like

844
00:47:22,300 --> 00:47:24,820
we saw with the core group in the first season.

845
00:47:26,500 --> 00:47:30,060
Not. Not get into Luffy's spell. Because it's not

846
00:47:30,060 --> 00:47:34,260
a spell he's doing, but more just the crew of the

847
00:47:34,260 --> 00:47:41,900
Straw Hats together finding. Finding something in

848
00:47:41,900 --> 00:47:44,060
terms of family and friendship that they've been

849
00:47:44,060 --> 00:47:47,220
missing in their previous lives.

850
00:47:47,860 --> 00:47:48,340
>> Will: Yeah.

851
00:47:49,010 --> 00:47:53,320
>> Sarah : and. And. And it's. And it's nice. and it's just

852
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,560
this show. It's just. Again, we said it last week.

853
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:58,360
It's a lot of fun.

854
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,100
>> Will: Yeah.

855
00:47:59,100 --> 00:48:02,550
>> Sarah : and there's a lot of action. There's a lot of set

856
00:48:02,550 --> 00:48:05,630
pieces. I mean, we got. Or we got giants fighting.

857
00:48:05,630 --> 00:48:09,270
We got dinosaurs. Luffy of course has to ride a

858
00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:13,710
dinosaur. We of course have to have Sanji cook T

859
00:48:13,710 --> 00:48:18,630
Rex meat. but there's also what's going on with

860
00:48:18,630 --> 00:48:24,140
Yusuf in the terms of like how to find bravery and

861
00:48:24,220 --> 00:48:28,380
used up for one and a half seasons is. Has a big

862
00:48:28,380 --> 00:48:31,980
mouth, loves to tell tall tales. Pun intended.

863
00:48:32,940 --> 00:48:37,330
And. And also what I. What I appreciate is. Subtly

864
00:48:37,330 --> 00:48:41,730
occurs in these two episodes. We. We never found.

865
00:48:42,370 --> 00:48:46,050
Up until now, there was never a clear objective

866
00:48:46,370 --> 00:48:49,370
for you sub. It was more like this is my

867
00:48:49,370 --> 00:48:54,760
opportunity to go on an adventure. But unlike the

868
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,240
others who. Luffy obviously wants the one piece

869
00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:01,720
and become king of the pirates. And then Zorro

870
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:08,170
with his wanting to defeat I forget his name, and

871
00:49:08,170 --> 00:49:10,130
become the best swordsman around.

872
00:49:10,850 --> 00:49:11,570
>> Will: Mihawk.

873
00:49:11,650 --> 00:49:13,690
>> Sarah : Yeah, Mihawk. You're always gonna have to remind

874
00:49:13,690 --> 00:49:19,320
me of the name. in through the course of the

875
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:24,880
giants and the bravery he. He takes to go up

876
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,490
against vivian. or Ms. Valentine.

877
00:49:28,490 --> 00:49:29,410
>> Will: Ms. Valentine. Yeah.

878
00:49:29,410 --> 00:49:35,570
>> Sarah : And Ms. Valentine. And he. He. He finds a goal and

879
00:49:35,570 --> 00:49:40,740
he wants to go to where is it place. Where is that

880
00:49:40,740 --> 00:49:42,860
place that the giants are. The island.

881
00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:45,540
>> Will: Oh, I'm blanking on the name of the, They talked.

882
00:49:45,540 --> 00:49:46,940
>> Sarah : Elsaba Else.

883
00:49:47,020 --> 00:49:47,500
>> Will: Yeah.

884
00:49:48,620 --> 00:49:52,090
>> Sarah : Yeah. he. He wants to go there. Even though he's

885
00:49:52,090 --> 00:49:54,930
gonna stick out. I don't even think they're gonna

886
00:49:54,930 --> 00:50:00,450
see you just don't get smushed. But I, I like that

887
00:50:00,450 --> 00:50:03,740
because I, It's different than what we've seen

888
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:07,510
others go through in terms of journeys. and it

889
00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:09,110
was. And it was very refreshing.

890
00:50:09,670 --> 00:50:13,110
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, it was very refreshing. And I like.

891
00:50:13,190 --> 00:50:15,430
I'm glad you brought up. You said. Because he.

892
00:50:15,590 --> 00:50:19,830
His. His, you know, relationship with the giants.

893
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,680
and you know, whenever. Because whenever we see,

894
00:50:25,290 --> 00:50:29,290
In. In the. When they have the duel and they

895
00:50:29,290 --> 00:50:35,020
determine that, he, you know, that, you know, Dory

896
00:50:35,020 --> 00:50:37,590
was fighting, the,

897
00:50:40,450 --> 00:50:43,770
>> Will: you know, other giant learned that the, you know,

898
00:50:43,770 --> 00:50:48,890
the potions was like poisoned and you know, it

899
00:50:48,890 --> 00:50:51,130
wasn't fault. You know, no honor was happened

900
00:50:51,130 --> 00:50:52,890
there. And then of course, you know, as USOP was

901
00:50:52,890 --> 00:50:55,530
finding the courage and wanted a thing that, you

902
00:50:55,530 --> 00:50:58,210
know, the. Whenever, you know, he goes back to de

903
00:50:58,210 --> 00:51:02,930
Braggy and brogy and. And you know, learns that,

904
00:51:02,930 --> 00:51:04,810
you know, the true bravery is not the absence of

905
00:51:04,810 --> 00:51:07,330
fear, but going in a battle in spite of it. And

906
00:51:07,330 --> 00:51:09,650
then, you know, and just hearing that and to your

907
00:51:09,650 --> 00:51:12,210
point about whenever he, you know, whenever, you

908
00:51:12,210 --> 00:51:14,900
know, he went back to. To rescue his friends, from

909
00:51:14,900 --> 00:51:16,580
Mr. Mr. Mr. Three.

910
00:51:17,060 --> 00:51:17,620
>> Sarah : Yeah.

911
00:51:17,940 --> 00:51:21,860
>> Will: And. And you know, and he's, you know, taking on

912
00:51:21,860 --> 00:51:25,400
Ms. Valentine as well. And also number five. I, I

913
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:29,520
just. It was a nice character arc and grow. Growth

914
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,480
of Usopp and to your. And you're right, it did

915
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,880
give him a purpose because before, you know, he

916
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,720
did feel that he was just, you know, he was part

917
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:44,720
of the, you know, part of the crew. And, and, but,

918
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,360
you know, but we, but we. But we do still see

919
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:52,730
elements of his. His cautiousness in the. In the

920
00:51:52,730 --> 00:51:55,170
sixth episode whenever they do get to the island

921
00:51:55,170 --> 00:51:55,730
of the Drum.

922
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:56,560
>> Sarah : yeah.

923
00:51:56,720 --> 00:51:59,320
>> Will: Yeah. So even though he's. He's. He's shown

924
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:01,800
growth, he's still at his core a very cautious

925
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:02,160
person.

926
00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:10,300
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Ms. Golden Week. So again in episode

927
00:52:10,300 --> 00:52:13,580
four, we start to see. And we hear this laughter

928
00:52:13,580 --> 00:52:16,310
like a childlike. And we start to see these

929
00:52:16,310 --> 00:52:17,150
tattoos.

930
00:52:17,470 --> 00:52:18,030
>> Will: Yeah.

931
00:52:19,470 --> 00:52:24,670
>> Sarah : And so what I found very interesting is I. I

932
00:52:24,670 --> 00:52:26,910
started to, in the. During the fifth episode,

933
00:52:27,150 --> 00:52:29,190
write down notes because I was like, oh, that's

934
00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:29,790
interesting.

935
00:52:30,190 --> 00:52:30,670
>> Will: Yeah.

936
00:52:30,700 --> 00:52:35,140
>> Sarah : I. And this was before they really delve into her

937
00:52:35,140 --> 00:52:39,420
powers because I was like, wow. It's. It's like

938
00:52:39,420 --> 00:52:43,930
whatever they're using gives, the person the exact

939
00:52:43,930 --> 00:52:44,810
opposite.

940
00:52:45,290 --> 00:52:45,770
>> Will: Yeah.

941
00:52:46,010 --> 00:52:49,450
>> Sarah : Like, behavior of who they are. Because Luffy's

942
00:52:49,770 --> 00:52:54,010
never been that sad before. That we've seen.

943
00:52:54,490 --> 00:52:59,010
Never. And Nami has never not been a person of

944
00:52:59,010 --> 00:52:59,370
action.

945
00:53:00,170 --> 00:53:00,570
>> Will: Right.

946
00:53:00,650 --> 00:53:07,070
>> Sarah : So, so. And then Zorro is ultra serious. So when

947
00:53:07,070 --> 00:53:09,390
they explained the color palette and how the

948
00:53:09,470 --> 00:53:11,750
emotions work and everything, I was like, okay,

949
00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:15,230
that makes. That makes sense. But I think it was

950
00:53:15,230 --> 00:53:18,550
very smart of what colors got applied to what

951
00:53:18,550 --> 00:53:19,310
characters.

952
00:53:19,630 --> 00:53:19,980
>> Will: Yes.

953
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,720
>> Sarah : considering who we know those characters to be and

954
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:29,660
to really show the, the opposite emotion and the

955
00:53:29,660 --> 00:53:34,180
odd behavior very clearly and vividly. that. That

956
00:53:34,180 --> 00:53:37,620
was done well. And it was also. It was arguably

957
00:53:39,300 --> 00:53:42,060
Golden Week. And Mr. Five are two of the creepiest

958
00:53:42,060 --> 00:53:44,860
villains we've had so far in terms of the baroque

959
00:53:44,860 --> 00:53:48,740
works. Just because I know Ms. Holiday Sunday in

960
00:53:48,740 --> 00:53:52,420
her arms, but still, I mean, House of Wax, anyone?

961
00:53:53,060 --> 00:53:53,620
>> Will: And then.

962
00:53:53,860 --> 00:53:58,910
>> Sarah : And then nothing is creepier for some reason. Then

963
00:53:59,390 --> 00:54:02,390
when you can't see the person and you hear this

964
00:54:02,390 --> 00:54:05,070
laughter and it is childlike, but it's a little

965
00:54:05,070 --> 00:54:06,110
sinister because.

966
00:54:06,350 --> 00:54:06,830
>> Will: Yeah.

967
00:54:06,900 --> 00:54:10,580
>> Will: Oh, yeah, yeah. In my notes, I did put that. I

968
00:54:10,580 --> 00:54:13,139
did. I was like, she freaked the hell out of me.

969
00:54:14,900 --> 00:54:18,260
>> Sarah : She calls. She calls him Dolly. And you're like,

970
00:54:18,260 --> 00:54:22,500
no, no, no, no, no. Let's not. Let's not do that.

971
00:54:22,820 --> 00:54:26,330
Can we not turn this into a horror show?

972
00:54:26,730 --> 00:54:29,130
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I was think, yeah, whenever it's like,

973
00:54:29,130 --> 00:54:31,670
she was called Luffy Dolly, I think that that.

974
00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:35,030
That was. What was the whole. The creep factor for

975
00:54:35,030 --> 00:54:38,700
me. and I was just wondering, like, you know, to

976
00:54:38,700 --> 00:54:43,140
your point, like, whenever we saw her, you know,

977
00:54:44,260 --> 00:54:48,060
break Luffy down as far as the. The hopelessness

978
00:54:48,060 --> 00:54:50,620
and because he's the most optimistic, you know,

979
00:54:50,620 --> 00:54:53,820
fearless, you know, and all, but what. She's

980
00:54:53,820 --> 00:54:55,780
calling him Dolly. And then whenever she, like,

981
00:54:55,780 --> 00:55:00,340
you know, had him walk out to sea. Yeah, it was so

982
00:55:00,340 --> 00:55:02,620
creepy. And you know, and credit to Usopp, you

983
00:55:02,620 --> 00:55:04,420
know, he just, you know, Johnny on the spot, he

984
00:55:04,420 --> 00:55:07,740
just knew somehow he just has that innate sense to

985
00:55:07,740 --> 00:55:12,050
like, be there for Luffy. but that whole sequence

986
00:55:12,050 --> 00:55:14,610
there was just. Yeah, that, you know, that was

987
00:55:14,610 --> 00:55:17,830
where I was like, man, this show, they can. They.

988
00:55:17,990 --> 00:55:20,470
They can do humor, they can do. They can do

989
00:55:20,470 --> 00:55:25,790
horror. And. And really, really just the range of

990
00:55:25,790 --> 00:55:28,590
this show, I think, is what makes it work so, so

991
00:55:28,590 --> 00:55:31,870
well. And again, we're not folks who have read the

992
00:55:31,870 --> 00:55:36,630
manga or watch the anime 1000 plus chapters, but,

993
00:55:36,790 --> 00:55:38,750
you know, for live action folks, this is what

994
00:55:38,750 --> 00:55:41,030
draws Me in and.

995
00:55:41,110 --> 00:55:43,750
>> Sarah : And something else. I mean we talked about it a

996
00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:48,290
little bit last week too with M. All the numbers,

997
00:55:48,290 --> 00:55:51,370
all the days of weeks. I'm not getting tired.

998
00:55:51,450 --> 00:55:57,224
Because we got introduced to so many Mr. And Mrs.

999
00:55:57,316 --> 00:56:00,130
In these two episodes alone. We haven't even gone

1000
00:56:00,130 --> 00:56:03,170
into the third episode. But I mean we get

1001
00:56:03,170 --> 00:56:07,700
introduced to Ms. Friday and Mr. 13. Yeah.

1002
00:56:08,100 --> 00:56:08,660
>> Will: Yeah.

1003
00:56:08,660 --> 00:56:14,160
>> Sarah : So I The. They. They are very clear about the

1004
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:19,760
Baroque Rourkes and. And they're very good episode

1005
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:20,320
villains.

1006
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:21,440
>> Will: Yeah.

1007
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,280
>> Sarah : Granted we have our main ones, the Ms. All. All

1008
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,800
Sunday, Ms. Valentine, Mr. Fine. Those are our

1009
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:33,640
carry through. But it also feels like a bigger

1010
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,720
world because before you know it, you'll be

1011
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:42,970
introduced to Miss Six, Mr. Sixteen and Miss Never

1012
00:56:42,970 --> 00:56:43,370
Sunday.

1013
00:56:45,610 --> 00:56:47,530
>> Will: We got. Yeah. Yeah. We got.

1014
00:56:47,530 --> 00:56:48,010
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1015
00:56:48,090 --> 00:56:48,490
>> Will: Yeah.

1016
00:56:48,490 --> 00:56:52,570
>> Sarah : So it's. But I also like. So we have these two

1017
00:56:52,570 --> 00:56:56,250
episodes that are very much on trend with where we

1018
00:56:56,250 --> 00:57:00,530
have been for the season. And then to go into Nami

1019
00:57:00,530 --> 00:57:04,730
Dearest to me, this felt like a little bit of a

1020
00:57:04,730 --> 00:57:06,570
different episode. I don't know if it's a bridge

1021
00:57:06,570 --> 00:57:08,760
episode because I don't know what episode seven

1022
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:12,540
will be like. However, in here there's a lot more

1023
00:57:12,540 --> 00:57:15,660
focus. There's a lot less focus on baroque works

1024
00:57:15,660 --> 00:57:18,140
even though we still see them because of what

1025
00:57:18,140 --> 00:57:22,960
happens with Smoker. but we are more focused on

1026
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:29,360
the. Some of the international. Some of the world

1027
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:33,700
politics that goes ties back to. To Vivi and

1028
00:57:34,100 --> 00:57:37,860
getting her back home. And where we learn more

1029
00:57:37,860 --> 00:57:42,650
about this Drum island as well as the leader, the

1030
00:57:42,650 --> 00:57:48,860
bastard king of it, if you will. Ms. Wolpall who's

1031
00:57:48,860 --> 00:57:54,200
just an And I. How dare. Miss all Day, Miss All

1032
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:57,440
Sunday. Give him direct Devil Fruit when he's got

1033
00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:58,000
that jaw.

1034
00:58:00,410 --> 00:58:03,410
>> Will: Yeah. And we don't know. Yeah. And as of now, we

1035
00:58:03,410 --> 00:58:05,890
don't know what his. What the power in that Devil

1036
00:58:05,890 --> 00:58:06,570
Fruit was.

1037
00:58:06,570 --> 00:58:09,930
>> Sarah : I mean I think he's just gonna be all steel. He's

1038
00:58:09,930 --> 00:58:14,970
gonna be all. I don't know. It's gonna be weird

1039
00:58:14,970 --> 00:58:19,130
and it's gonna be annoying. And I'm. I'm sure

1040
00:58:19,290 --> 00:58:22,250
it's. It's. It's gonna be something very

1041
00:58:23,210 --> 00:58:27,210
adversarial. Not necessary for Luffy, but more for

1042
00:58:27,210 --> 00:58:33,300
Vivi. be. Because we. We get a Vivi flashback. We

1043
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:38,720
meet her father. and. And we see more about her

1044
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:47,570
own, anger towards Waffle for just being an. Who

1045
00:58:47,570 --> 00:58:48,330
slaps a child.

1046
00:58:48,730 --> 00:58:52,130
>> Will: You know, Slaps a child. We see. We see. And I do

1047
00:58:52,130 --> 00:58:55,260
like how they tied in. Ingraham.

1048
00:58:55,580 --> 00:58:55,980
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1049
00:58:55,980 --> 00:59:00,300
>> Will: In this episode too. And, you know, and so I guess

1050
00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:03,300
even though it was a little bit of a diver, you

1051
00:59:03,300 --> 00:59:05,900
know, a little moving into the next arc with,

1052
00:59:06,030 --> 00:59:09,590
this, it was a nice. I, I, I'm, this was one of

1053
00:59:09,590 --> 00:59:11,030
those things, like you said earlier, where I'm

1054
00:59:11,030 --> 00:59:12,830
glad that we watched these three together because

1055
00:59:12,830 --> 00:59:19,820
it was a nice, call back to her, encounter on,

1056
00:59:20,430 --> 00:59:23,070
with the giants whenever, you know, they burned

1057
00:59:23,230 --> 00:59:26,430
the funeral pyre of the handkerchief.

1058
00:59:26,670 --> 00:59:31,800
>> Sarah : Yep. so, yeah, so, yeah, dealing with her grief.

1059
00:59:33,740 --> 00:59:37,420
because that, that Ingram. We, we only met for one

1060
00:59:37,420 --> 00:59:41,300
episode, but they had known each other before that

1061
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:45,940
episode, and so we. That bond definitely did need

1062
00:59:45,940 --> 00:59:49,670
to be shown. I don't think you can have a VV

1063
00:59:49,670 --> 00:59:53,060
flashback without Ingram being there, based on how

1064
00:59:53,060 --> 00:59:58,900
close they were. And, and I. Also, this episode,

1065
00:59:58,900 --> 01:00:01,380
it's not that we don't meet people, because again,

1066
01:00:01,460 --> 01:00:04,180
we just listed a few and there's a few more

1067
01:00:04,180 --> 01:00:07,620
because what the heck is Katie Seagal doing here?

1068
01:00:10,260 --> 01:00:10,660
>> Will: I.

1069
01:00:10,740 --> 01:00:13,700
>> Sarah : Now, I did get. I was aware of this cast.

1070
01:00:13,700 --> 01:00:16,260
>> Will: Yeah, it was. Yeah, this was. Yeah, I know, folks.

1071
01:00:16,260 --> 01:00:18,900
I think either. I know a lot of people were

1072
01:00:19,140 --> 01:00:21,660
angling. We was really hoping Jamie Lee Curtis

1073
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:24,340
was. I think, I think it was a big fan casting for

1074
01:00:24,340 --> 01:00:26,460
her. Maybe Jamie Lee was, like, pushing for this

1075
01:00:26,460 --> 01:00:28,660
role. But. Yeah, but I did know Katie Cycle was

1076
01:00:28,660 --> 01:00:30,690
going to, be in this. I think I even posted about

1077
01:00:30,690 --> 01:00:33,290
it on our socials that she was cast in the show.

1078
01:00:33,530 --> 01:00:37,900
>> Sarah : Jamie Lee is on, Scarpetta. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So

1079
01:00:37,900 --> 01:00:41,560
she might have been a bit busy. granted, Kitty

1080
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,880
Seagal is also. Well, no, we didn't see her last

1081
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:49,210
season. anyways, but we, we see Doctorina, as, as

1082
01:00:49,210 --> 01:00:52,610
we meet the witch who turns out not to be a witch.

1083
01:00:52,850 --> 01:00:55,570
And more importantly, we finally meet Chopper.

1084
01:00:55,650 --> 01:00:58,170
I've heard whisperings of Chopper. I knew nothing

1085
01:00:58,170 --> 01:01:00,050
about it before this episode, but he's.

1086
01:01:00,050 --> 01:01:00,570
>> Will: Me neither.

1087
01:01:00,570 --> 01:01:05,490
>> Sarah : They are delightful, and I am very much interested

1088
01:01:05,490 --> 01:01:08,930
in them becoming a straw hat. Ah. And so I am on

1089
01:01:08,930 --> 01:01:16,540
board with that. and my, my, My other note was the

1090
01:01:16,540 --> 01:01:19,060
nudity that was occurring throughout these

1091
01:01:19,060 --> 01:01:22,940
episodes. There was, There was skin. There was

1092
01:01:22,940 --> 01:01:23,780
some skin.

1093
01:01:23,940 --> 01:01:30,570
>> Will: Sh. There's a lot of, you know, I, I, I, Yeah, you

1094
01:01:30,570 --> 01:01:35,690
know, I was, I was impressed with Luffy. Luffy's

1095
01:01:35,690 --> 01:01:39,130
kind of cut. Yeah, yeah, yep.

1096
01:01:39,130 --> 01:01:42,410
>> Sarah : And I've seen, I've seen the videos, but. Yep,

1097
01:01:42,410 --> 01:01:48,010
yep, yep, yep. So, so m. Oh. The other thing we

1098
01:01:48,170 --> 01:01:51,930
probably will need to touch on. Touch on is,

1099
01:01:54,060 --> 01:01:58,580
Smoker, Smoker and Tushagi, because they are also

1100
01:01:59,220 --> 01:02:03,380
very Much like Garb in the first season, they are.

1101
01:02:04,660 --> 01:02:07,900
We, we check in on them and they're, they're

1102
01:02:07,900 --> 01:02:11,220
moving along in their own endeavor that will

1103
01:02:11,220 --> 01:02:14,300
inevitably intersect with this re. Intersect with

1104
01:02:14,300 --> 01:02:18,220
the Straw Hats as they're trying to find a Baroque

1105
01:02:18,220 --> 01:02:24,470
works. And so they go to a communications, Isle of

1106
01:02:24,470 --> 01:02:27,910
Renaissance, a communications out past. And that's

1107
01:02:27,910 --> 01:02:30,750
where they encounter Ms. M. Thursday and Mr. 11,

1108
01:02:31,310 --> 01:02:34,670
who Mr. 11 has a very important sword. It's like,

1109
01:02:34,670 --> 01:02:39,870
well, that's inevitable that Tashagi meets him. So

1110
01:02:39,950 --> 01:02:45,300
I, I, I think it makes sense that we're getting

1111
01:02:45,700 --> 01:02:49,870
some Smoker into Shaggy this season and not much,

1112
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:54,560
so much Garb, and I'm always blanking. There's

1113
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,200
names that I feel like are just wiped out of my

1114
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,020
mind. who's Luffy's old friend?

1115
01:03:00,180 --> 01:03:01,020
>> Will: Oh yeah. Kobe.

1116
01:03:01,020 --> 01:03:01,940
>> Sarah : Yeah, Kobe.

1117
01:03:02,260 --> 01:03:02,740
>> Will: Yeah.

1118
01:03:02,830 --> 01:03:08,190
>> Sarah : because if we had them both, I could, I feel like

1119
01:03:08,430 --> 01:03:11,120
we would have been tired. or it would, we would

1120
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:15,800
have noticed some redundancies where yes, they're

1121
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,680
very similar in terms of what happened with Kobe

1122
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,040
in the first season. And now we're seeing like

1123
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:26,360
Smoker and Tashagi and those rules. But it's also

1124
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:31,080
refreshing because Smoker is definitely not Garb

1125
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:37,560
and Tashagi is more of a counterpoint to Zorro

1126
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:45,170
than than Luffy. So. Yeah, yeah. So I, I, I, I

1127
01:03:45,170 --> 01:03:47,610
think checking in with the Marines is very

1128
01:03:47,610 --> 01:03:52,540
important. but I also am glad that we are, we've

1129
01:03:52,540 --> 01:03:56,500
been focusing more on some of our new protagonists

1130
01:03:56,580 --> 01:04:01,700
such as Vivi, while also allowing our main group,

1131
01:04:02,260 --> 01:04:06,530
like a us up to, to stand up and get some, get

1132
01:04:06,530 --> 01:04:11,760
some center light if you will, on their, on their

1133
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:13,040
individual journey.

1134
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,280
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, I, I completely agree. And you know,

1135
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,000
and the other characters that they, they did

1136
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,760
introduced in this episode, you know, as we, as we

1137
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,800
flex to your point about fleshing out the, the

1138
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,280
world, you know, we do also meet Dalton and he was

1139
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:30,200
also there in the past with when, when, when the

1140
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,100
king, struck, Vivi.

1141
01:04:32,260 --> 01:04:32,700
>> Sarah : Yep.

1142
01:04:32,700 --> 01:04:37,180
>> Will: And, and, and, and so, you know, so makes, you

1143
01:04:37,180 --> 01:04:41,660
know, so you know, clearly he, he may or may not

1144
01:04:41,660 --> 01:04:44,430
have recognized her whenever, they, they were

1145
01:04:44,430 --> 01:04:47,600
there in the village. but you know, it definitely

1146
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,560
again brings all, you know, you know, with. Given

1147
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:56,770
that drum Allen now has is a shell of what it was

1148
01:04:56,770 --> 01:04:58,530
because the whole reason why they went there was

1149
01:04:58,530 --> 01:05:00,250
because, you know, they had this reputation for

1150
01:05:00,250 --> 01:05:03,130
all the doctors and, and we, and we knew that, you

1151
01:05:03,130 --> 01:05:05,890
know, Nami was sick from, you know, getting bit by

1152
01:05:05,890 --> 01:05:10,610
the by the tick. but you know. You know, so, you

1153
01:05:10,610 --> 01:05:13,090
know, it brings all the connectivities of this

1154
01:05:13,090 --> 01:05:17,330
world, you know, together. and, and and and and

1155
01:05:18,780 --> 01:05:21,490
and know again for. For us live action folks who

1156
01:05:21,490 --> 01:05:25,010
don't. Who aren't familiar with all the lore, it,

1157
01:05:26,130 --> 01:05:28,970
you know, it sets the table for like things that

1158
01:05:28,970 --> 01:05:34,170
we see to. To. To come in the. As we. As we

1159
01:05:34,170 --> 01:05:36,410
progress in these. These last two episodes. And

1160
01:05:36,410 --> 01:05:39,180
then, and then of course as we. We do know that

1161
01:05:39,180 --> 01:05:41,540
there are in the process of filming season three

1162
01:05:41,540 --> 01:05:44,020
right now. So hopefully it won't be another. It

1163
01:05:44,020 --> 01:05:45,700
won't be a two and a half year break between

1164
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,160
between seasons, which will be. Which will be

1165
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:48,440
great.

1166
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:53,400
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

1167
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,960
>> Will: Fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Yeah. Another

1168
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,900
thing too, you know, that, that really, you know,

1169
01:06:00,460 --> 01:06:02,940
a through line throughout this is, you know, how.

1170
01:06:03,580 --> 01:06:06,540
How the. The Straw Hats really have, you know,

1171
01:06:06,540 --> 01:06:08,900
truly have become a found f family. And also just

1172
01:06:08,900 --> 01:06:11,020
Luffy growing into as well as Captain and just

1173
01:06:11,020 --> 01:06:14,790
like, you know, in every aspect of it, like, you

1174
01:06:14,790 --> 01:06:17,270
know, where he's, you know, literally like we're

1175
01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:19,310
gonna climb. I'm m. Climb this mountain literally

1176
01:06:19,310 --> 01:06:24,060
to like, you know, save. Save Nami. and that was,

1177
01:06:24,060 --> 01:06:28,060
you know, that and just this. And to see, you

1178
01:06:28,060 --> 01:06:31,980
know, just the doggedness especially whenever, you

1179
01:06:31,980 --> 01:06:34,460
know, after what we, you know, after we saw what

1180
01:06:34,460 --> 01:06:36,770
he went through with Ms. Golden Work, you know,

1181
01:06:36,770 --> 01:06:40,890
the Luffy, it was. It was a nice return, you know,

1182
01:06:40,890 --> 01:06:44,490
story wise just to remind us of who Luffy is and,

1183
01:06:44,730 --> 01:06:47,050
and all that, you know, movement moving on from,

1184
01:06:47,550 --> 01:06:50,530
from the island episodes that we had prior. So I

1185
01:06:50,530 --> 01:06:52,490
thought that was just, you know, again, just you

1186
01:06:52,490 --> 01:06:56,580
know, the leadership of Luffy and and also I

1187
01:06:56,580 --> 01:06:59,380
think, you know, the you know, Vivi and others

1188
01:06:59,380 --> 01:07:02,350
just trying to help teach him how to become a

1189
01:07:02,350 --> 01:07:06,439
better, a better leader for, for the Straw Hats.

1190
01:07:08,359 --> 01:07:12,069
>> Sarah : Yeah, definitely. Sanji also played a big role in

1191
01:07:12,069 --> 01:07:14,749
going up that hill too and, and put a lot on the

1192
01:07:14,749 --> 01:07:19,069
line as well. And Zorro was told to stay. He did

1193
01:07:19,069 --> 01:07:19,869
not like that.

1194
01:07:20,589 --> 01:07:23,229
>> Will: He did not like that one bit.

1195
01:07:23,979 --> 01:07:27,449
>> Sarah : yeah, so. But they all couldn't go up the hill,

1196
01:07:27,449 --> 01:07:28,169
that is for sure.

1197
01:07:28,809 --> 01:07:31,649
>> Will: Yeah, but. But he did have that very key. I think

1198
01:07:31,649 --> 01:07:35,929
he did have a very key scene there between. With.

1199
01:07:36,009 --> 01:07:42,139
With Dalton. and you know, and as far as who's

1200
01:07:42,139 --> 01:07:43,819
going to like, you know, as far as continuity of

1201
01:07:43,819 --> 01:07:45,899
leadership and who's, you know, who's going to

1202
01:07:46,379 --> 01:07:51,059
help protect the Drum Allen as they. As they move

1203
01:07:51,059 --> 01:07:53,579
forward once they you know, take, you know, once

1204
01:07:53,579 --> 01:07:56,739
they take over from the king. So. So, you know, so

1205
01:07:56,739 --> 01:07:58,739
even though he didn't, he wasn't able to go up

1206
01:07:58,739 --> 01:08:02,339
that hill, I think, you know, I think that

1207
01:08:02,339 --> 01:08:04,379
conversation with Dalton is definitely going to

1208
01:08:04,379 --> 01:08:08,258
come play a big role as far as. That's with. With

1209
01:08:08,258 --> 01:08:11,859
the story moving forward. Well, as far as

1210
01:08:11,859 --> 01:08:13,899
building. As far as building allies, you know,

1211
01:08:13,899 --> 01:08:16,709
>> Sarah : for, for the Straw Hats, I, I, don't. I don't

1212
01:08:16,709 --> 01:08:19,429
think they have a problem with building allies. I,

1213
01:08:19,509 --> 01:08:22,979
I think that that moment sticks out because I

1214
01:08:22,979 --> 01:08:25,739
think it says more about Zorro than it does Dalton

1215
01:08:26,379 --> 01:08:29,419
and what's going on with Zorro in terms of his

1216
01:08:29,419 --> 01:08:33,659
role as a team or role on. As part of the crew

1217
01:08:34,539 --> 01:08:38,509
and, and his own growth and journey. Because, I

1218
01:08:38,509 --> 01:08:41,509
mean, the line is my name. My aim is not to lead

1219
01:08:41,509 --> 01:08:44,949
these people, only to be a shield. And then I

1220
01:08:44,949 --> 01:08:47,589
stupidly did not write down what Zorro's response

1221
01:08:47,809 --> 01:08:50,089
to it, but I feel like it was something along the

1222
01:08:50,089 --> 01:08:53,809
lines of sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't matter.

1223
01:08:54,609 --> 01:08:55,009
Yeah.

1224
01:08:55,009 --> 01:08:55,409
>> Will: Yeah.

1225
01:08:55,969 --> 01:09:00,249
>> Sarah : What they need. So. And. And I just. I. I think

1226
01:09:00,249 --> 01:09:03,049
that at the end of the day, we've seen over the

1227
01:09:03,049 --> 01:09:07,489
last few episodes this season, Zorro try to take.

1228
01:09:07,729 --> 01:09:12,609
Try to step up, but he's not. He's not perfect.

1229
01:09:13,329 --> 01:09:14,009
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

1230
01:09:14,009 --> 01:09:18,819
>> Sarah : And. And he, He. He gets lost very easily. He's

1231
01:09:18,819 --> 01:09:24,789
very bad with navigation. So. So, maybe. Maybe

1232
01:09:24,789 --> 01:09:29,829
it's not so much him needing to be a lead for the

1233
01:09:29,829 --> 01:09:32,029
star, a leader for the Straw Hats, because they

1234
01:09:32,029 --> 01:09:35,709
have one, but him learning that there is still a

1235
01:09:35,709 --> 01:09:43,469
way to not only be a shield and to also, like, be

1236
01:09:43,469 --> 01:09:46,839
utilized, more than you currently feel you are or,

1237
01:09:46,839 --> 01:09:51,509
or see your potential. But, yeah, all right, well,

1238
01:09:51,509 --> 01:09:54,789
I think I've forgotten enough names for tonight,

1239
01:09:54,949 --> 01:10:00,019
and, I think we've talked a lot about these shows

1240
01:10:00,019 --> 01:10:04,339
as well as Paradise. and so on that note, Will,

1241
01:10:04,339 --> 01:10:05,979
why don't you tell our listeners where they can

1242
01:10:05,979 --> 01:10:06,539
find you?

1243
01:10:07,159 --> 01:10:09,819
