Opinions so edgy they could cut you: Night Vale - Good Alice Isn't Dead - Good Within the Wires - Good Orbiting Human Circus - Bad Conversations with People who Hate Me - Bad I started the Magnus Archives not long ago (just finished ep18), and I'm enjoying it so far. There have been little bits of a larger plot dropped in that you guys say will develop into something; I'm looking forward to that. Archive 81 is awesome, both seasons. As is their little one-off podcast The Deep Vault. Is there more Archive 81 coming? I thought the end of season 2 was a pretty satisfying conclusion. I've also been impressed at how Sayer managed to continue after the end of season 3. I don't know why I'm still listening to The Black Tapes and Tanis. I guess I hope they'll go somewhere eventually? I'm also hoping they never do more of Rabbits, because that was a nicely self-contained story with a solid end. And yeah, PNWS is the undisputed master of the overly-dramatic pause. If you like Myths and Legends, be sure to try his new series, Fictional. It's retelling of stories from famous literature (Sherlock, Dante's Inferno, etc) in his rather unique style.

I'll put it this way: Whether or not PNWS makes more, the current ten episodes of Rabbits tell a complete story. It has some of the flaws of their other shows, and it does get weird, but I thought it was their best effort yet. vortmax fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Sep 16, 2017 |

AceOfFlames posted:I've been going through a binge over the last week on TMA. I ended up waking in the middle of the night at some point and when I went to get a drink of water, I was dead convinced that some monster was going to pop out of a corner and kill me or worse. I've been binging it too lately, since I started reading this thread, and I'm almost 3/4 through season 2. I'm really loving all the callbacks to earlier episodes, and the suggestion that there's a lot more to the Archive than we know. Like how apparently there have been other Archives going back thousands of years?

Chairman Capone posted:Maybe It Makes a Sound is good, but the first episode was just so terrible there's very little chance I'm going back. If they decided to make it deliberately bad then consider it a ringing endorsement of just how well they were able to make an unenjoyable product.  I gave it four episodes before I quit. It's just not my thing.

Jurgan posted:People said the same thing about Rabbits, but they brought it back. New Leaf posted:Its money, guys. I quit listening to the PNWS podcasts for this exact reason. Especially after they decided to continue Rabbits, which felt like a fully-contained story. They stopped having interesting stories to tell and chased the money instead. I am absolutely in love with Archive 81 though, and I can't wait to see where it goes. Every season has been a very different way of expanding the universe they've built, but it builds on the previous one. I'm really considering listening to the whole thing again before this season finishes. Also, is anyone else excited about the new season of Sayer?

Okay Arrhythmia you've convinced me to check out Eskew. You have good taste in podcasts. I will report back. Also I re-listened to all of Archive 81 before I listened to episode 6 of the new season, and it reminded me of a lot of little details that are showing up now, especially in ep6. Like I totally forgot that The Curator sent a message to its representative by making him throw up a cassette tape back in season 2.

I too listened to Limetown again in preparation for the new season, and I forgot just how much they packed into less than four hours of audio. PNWS could have cribbed even more from them in that way. I also didn't remember that the main plot points were introduced so early. I can't wait for more Archive 81

I haven't actually watched any of the Facebook shows, I just know they exist because Facebook keeps advertising them to me. I'll give the Limetown show a try though. Season 2 of the podcast is off to a great start.

If Limetown ends here, I will be satisfied. I'm not sure where people are getting the idea that it's like Lost. We even know what happened to Lia. Everything makes sense to me, and maybe I'm forgetting something (I do plan to listen again from the start soon) but I think all the important loose ends are tied up. I love that final episode. If you want to talk comparisons to Lost, let's talk about Tanis...

Also I was listening to them again recently, and I swear episode nine used to be different. But I can't remember what it was. Maybe that's just me.

Honestly I was pretty disappointed with the ending of Alice Isn't Dead. There wasn't much of an explanation for anything, or even really a resolution. And I liked that series too. But speaking of Night Vale Presents shows, what do we think of Adventures in New America? I really like it so far but I'm reserving final judgement until I see where it goes.

I absolutely love S2 of Limetown, but you'll find a lot of varying opinions on it. I think it worked well to describe the events for the tech and the people after Limetown S1. And while it sorta ends on a cliffhanger, we do learn what happened to Lia Haddock. Also I loved the latest episode of Eskew. David finally gets a bit of control over things, only to see how dangerous that can be.

This is fantastic and I had to yell at Nick out loud for falling for his mother's voice and crashing the car and then getting out of the car. But it worked out? Also I love the employee of Moody's and hope they can get her out as well.

I gave up on everything from PNWS after the disastrous ending of The Black Tapes and their (happily failed) attempt to make a second season of Rabbits, which was a perfectly good completed stand-alone story. I don't think any of them knows how Tanis ends, which puts it clearly in Lost and Battlestar Galactica territory ie not worth finishing.
