I don't even know what's going on with this post.
Not sure.



Anyway it's brave of them to not just do true crime again, I'll reserve my opinions until the whole season is done, although I do admit I kind of loved hearing those courtroom recordings. Such interesting stuff. If only Bowe was a wigger it'd be at least a little nostalgic. :(

In episode 3 Sarah Calls the ghost of General George washington to discuss the US Military

In episode 4 Sarah Calls god to find out which religion is right.
In episode 12, cell phone towers are unable to conclusively put God at the scene of the founding of the Taliban.

A new report indicates Pakistani families have been known to disappear their young sons who perform honor killings...INTO THE TALIBAN (this is not about Islam, it is about their culture!!!)
Maybe Bergdahl has the smoking gun on this Adnan business and it's the only reason Sarah began this charade :tinfoil:

WAIT A loving MINUTE...does Bowe Bergdahl have an alibi for the 13th of January, 1999?

As someone who likes to use podcasts as sleep aids, Serial S2 has changed my world. Have some respect

Serial season 2 is bad and it just got worse.
Yeah, I didn't mind the infodumping of the last episode, it was interesting...but with the narrative pace, slowing down the update rate is just killer for me.

I bailed after episode 2. I wouldn't be surprised if this season saw a 90% drop in listenership.
No worries. She's driving to Baltimore.

I don't mind the show this season tbh, it is simultaneously entertaining, interesting, and a prodigious sleep aid, three important bonus points about a podcast.
really, I just miss Cristina Gutierrez's voice and want to hear her weird singsong droning on about Bowe
If only she were still alive we could hire her to defend Bowe

ive always pictured it as adnan's old uncle who runs a little shop of some kind :)

and yeah this is the s2 thread but the 3 mini episodes about adnan's appeal hearing thingy were pretty interesting! asia mcclane took the stand! they're arguing about cell phone towers again!
You mean the uncle who could disappear you to Pakistan? Just like Bowe was disappeared?
Wait a minute...

Now that This is all starting to come together I actually think anyone with Aspergers should be sent to be captured by the taliban
It actually could be the cure.

I agree on preferring the tone and feel and structure/organization of the first season though I was never really into that Adnan driving simulation episode, kinda boring hearing them quip and drive and then come to a vague conclusion

Koenig should've done a repeat of that and simulated Berg's Magical Desert Adventure Route though

It's true that a lot of the magic of the first season was the host having Adnan at her call, those audio tapes of Bowe were just eh and he doesn't seem like the most interesting dude to talk to anyway

I didn't hate the season or anything though. It definitely didn't live up to my enormous "oh poo poo another season of serial?? What could it be about??" pre hype but I didn't like theatrically/smugly despise it like it feels some people did. It was okay. I listened to it to the end. That's something.
It was a GREAT sleep aid :thumbsup:
