Is this the first mention of Cecils last name?
|

Yep. I find it interesting in light of this episode remembering what Cecil's mother told him a few episodes ago about his own death that it would involve a mirror. I also thought Cecil (the actor) did a great job doing young-Cecil's voice.

With the new episode, I suppose that the planet of awesome size, lit by no sun, is not a phenomenon exclusive only to "A story about you." Neither are those crates in the desert we'll never hear about again. Perhaps, "you" are not special enough to warrant a broadcast solely about yourself; the fact that there was one is simply another mysterious occurrence at Night Vale Community Radio. A fantastic, evocative episode all around. I winced at that *click* that ended the final playback.

Maxnmona mentioned on twitter that he thought this episode was really creepy and that's a description that sounds about right. Definitely a good listen.

Len posted:Is this the first mention of Cecils last name? Yes. But I think Cecil was at his most unreliable as a narrator today. loving awesome episode, got lots of theories about it. Still like the name Baldwin better, but oh well Theory 1: Cecil was killed when he was 15 and reborn, fulfilling his mother's prophecy Theory 2: The current Cecil is actually the dark spirit that was behind him Theory 2: Kevin is his brother (because of the eyes) dj_clawson fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Oct 15, 2013 |

Goddamn, amazing episode. Terminal Entropy posted:Which episode specially? Don't remember any thing like that at all. That was in 'Faceless Old Woman'. "Or better yet, destroy all of your mirrors. As my mother used to tell me, “Someone’s going to kill you one day, Cecil, and it will involve a mirror. Mark my words, child!” And then she would stare absently through my eyes until I giggled." I love when stuff from older episodes comes up again, and I love episodes when Cecil starts to freak out because that's when you know things are REALLY hosed up. I had suspected that Cecil had a habit of avoiding mirrors, so it was interesting to hear that he keeps them covered up... Does that mean Cecil doesn't have a good idea of what he looks like? There's the photo on the desk but there's no guarantee it's accurate. Also it sounded like that Leonard guy wasn't exactly human. And what was the deal with the curtain in Cecil's own home hiding another Station Management-like entity? Oh my god this episode

I love how Cecil's reaction to finding tapes he doesn't remember making is "Finally something weird to talk about!" I am a little worried about how he just blew off intern Jesus's disappearance/death. I hope he's not taking those interns for granted.

dj_clawson posted:Yes. But I think Cecil was at his most unreliable as a narrator today. I actually thought Cecil's last name was Baldwin, even in the show, which is why he got so unnerved when young Cecil said his last name. I guess that would make Theory 2 a little too obvious though.

The character's name is not, and never has been, Baldwin. That's the actor's name.

I missed it. What is his last name? Also great episode!

I gotta say what really drove home how creepy this episode was was Cecil (the actor) really conveying that the character was freaked the gently caress out over this. After all the other stuff that didn't really faze Cecil (the character) you could really hear the "what the gently caress is this" disturbed tone of voice and it really sold it.

SalTheBard posted:I missed it. What is his last name? Also great episode! Cecil Gershwin(sp?) Palmer I also thought Cecil (the actor) did a great job in voicing younger Cecil in that at the beginning he really sounded different, then he mentioned he needed to practice his radio voice, and I thought each time we heard young Cecil he sounded more and more like the Cecil we now know in his cadence and annunciation, it was a slight transition but noticeable. I really wonder if he would have sounded like modern-Cecil if we'd have heard him immediately after his... possession or whatever you want to call it.

When Cecil opened the show with "Perhaps you noticed something strange yesterday..." I thought he was going to finish with "...and perhaps...it noticed you, too."

maxnmona posted:The character's name is not, and never has been, Baldwin. That's the actor's name. You know, it's probably a good idea to separate the two more explicitly, since apparently some people have problems with that. I think it must be very weird for actors who play fictional characters with their same names, like Jerry Seinfeld, and even weirder for an actor to play a character with their name that they didn't create.

This is why the actor who plays Dennis on It's Always Sunny specifically didn't want his characters name to be his real name like the rest of the cast.

I kept waiting to hear adult Cecil at the end of the tape. But that's not Cecil's thing. That's Kevin's thing.

I was recently recommended Night Vale, and I absolutely love it. I'm so glad it's getting the recognition and popularity it deserves. Thank you very much for making it, and I just wanted to share a bit of fan art I made for the episode Subway.

That is awesome fanart. Here's a video someone took of the end of last weekend's Thrilling Adventure Hour show, it's just the cast singing a song. At about 1:25 - 1:30 you can see Cecil's head in the background.

One bit of the show I initially didn't cotton to was the Weather. Over time, however, it became one of my favorite bits. More and more the songs are tonally/thematically matching what's happening in the story and most of the music is loving fantastic. Really loving Squalloscope.
