I've forgotten soooo much of what happened last season so I have no loving clue what's going on.

i don't think there's been much 'need to know' info carried over from the last season
blackwing is some kind of government agency that collects psychics
todd came down with parawhatsit after finally coming clean to his sister about having lied about ever having the disease
they're all wanted by blackwing for their part in / being used as a scapegoat for the massive number of murders at the end of last season

I want to see how Bart got that bell from the front counter to inside her cell.

clearly she walked out to get it, then walked back in

See, that's what I was thinking.

But we have a fairy who can turn into stuff. The last episode had the squeeze toy changing eye color from blue to green and back to blue, indicating possession/replacement by the fairy that saved Dirk. So I have this niggling feeling that while the simple explanation is certainly possible, how it really got in there will be needlessly complicated, almost entirely nonsensical, and delightfully esoteric.

while it's true that 'needlessly complicated' is the raison d'�tre of the entire show, that's what makes me think the most straightforward explanation would be the funniest

i love this show, but i actually kind of don't want to speculate too much about where things as going and just enjoy the ride
i have some ideas, like, what's the connection between fake-disease and the fantasy land? but i rather just see how it goes then get too invested either way

they geeked the mage, but there's still the whole, 'everyone's dying' issue

after how good dirk gently was, i had wanted to believe all the talk about landis being terrible was just a matter of taste, but no, looks like he's an actual shitperson
i just hope he at least wasn't poo poo to anyone on this show or it'll ruin the art/artist separation i'm holding up in my head

yes. i feel like so much of what made the show work can be attributed to people other then landis, that i think it would be possible for someone else to pick up the writer's pen and keep up the quality.
a major risk though? sure
