I put this on for a weekend deep-clean but instead I’m taking notes with one hand clapped over my mouth

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

Relistening for the 3rd time. Sam says "Alice, phone!" and in that moment my goddamn phone vibrates. Yeah, I jumped. Might have gasped. I was not really scared. I'm not hiding in the bathroom right now or anything.

Grace 'Gengar' Soria

Relistening to help pass the time and I realized I had missed the "I would've used turpentine" comment. HOW DID I MISS THAT. I laughed so hard I startled my cats.

Alexandra DeCarlo

The statement was heartbreaking! Just. With a painting, once you are done you can't go back and mess with it like that or you are going to slowly ruin it. And it is so much worse when Daria does it to her actual body. Very well done

mariah Gibson

So my production is this group was the gang who was listening all along

Jo Millett

Frothing at the mouth I feel complete again it's back it's back 'the feeling' is back!!!!

DamianJ

I need more! This is so good and personally think that this is scarier than tma like I actually got shivers listening to this. Keep it up!

DamianJ

Oooft, personally I like her but I do think she’s gonna be or already is somewhat connected to the spiral or stranger

Max

I'm definitely having nightmares tonight😭 Glad that tma is back in action!

Kathryn Mac

aw i love alice! she’s serving 💅

Kstein19

Alice is a really infuriating and mean character I’m thinking she’s gonna get Sasha’d

Heather MacKenzie

I'm already catagorizing! This is so good and I want to know what happened to the Institute!

Alphie

gave me the goosebumps! absolutely delighted to be back for the ride and get my skin crawling again

Ian

I'm already itching for episode 3. This is so good!

mariah Gibson

Loving getting to hear this but kinda sad it’s episode by episode cause I need more

BookDove7776

I have conspiracies already, I'm going to end up with a red string wall here in a day or two

No, I more of meant, Dr Frankenstein was the only character who could truly be described as monstrous.

Brooke Kressin

Maybe, but a lot of people call Frankensteins monster just Frankenstein

"assuming you mean the Doctor, not the Monster" -- wasn't like, the whole point the doctor WAS the monster?

FyreFlye23

He would probably absolutely hate this but between MAG 170, 186, and the writing in this, Alex has become my comfort "character". Why is this both unsettling AND comforting?

Rusty Quill

Hi there, the transcript is attached as a downloadable PDF at the bottom of this post. The link in the shownotes will update with transcripts once the episodes go out publicly.

Chanel Moss

The way my eyes went wide the moment it finally clicked that Gwen's last name was Bouchard. I don't understand how that didn't click until now.

indiabaycroft

Man the music is so cool. I'm so pumped for this series

GloriousGe0rge

Something tells me this is not the last we'll be seeing of Daria. Especially since she got a taste of scaring someone else....I wonder if she'll ever make herself... perfect.

GloriousGe0rge

It does seem that way, but I keep reminding myself and others of the lessons of TMA ep 183. The classification isn't concrete, nothing fits clean into a box and that's the point. The stranger, the flesh, categorizing them is helpful but trying to firmly define them is pointless. Really makes me wonder how the categorizing thing in protocol was made and why?

Kate McKiernan

But is it Firma?

Kate McKiernan

Really excellent. Structure-wise, I love how this episode continues to showcase the case vs statement differences. (And also the recording of something that isn’t supposed to be recorded.) I smiled that Alex wrote this one; I thought of the Bone Turner’s garden as Daria began to shift her face.

Zuree1

Like because of the username

Annie Brod

So glad I get to experience this as it airs. Love you all and the work is STELLAR

Robert

Was so surprised by the horror coming from the therapist. I love that we're two episodes in and TMA format is totally up-ended. So good!

Space Modulator

Put. It. In. My. Veins.

Red

I love Alice ❤️ Careful, Sam. You know what they say about curiosity and cats 😬

Kristsune

The!!! Orchestration!!!! is SO GOOD. (I love everything about the episode, the acting, the statement, the sound design, but ugh the STRINGS)

Connor M. Carnall

Sam’s getting too close already lol I love this so far

Mice and Moonbeams

This was me! I listened to one driving and one or two at bed and now .... I'm like everyone else just theorizing and waiting each week lol

LainyJP

Wow. That "statement" hit hard.

Valerie Kaplan

Oooooh, a fun angle on the Flesh!

Valerie Kaplan

Yeah, I’m thinking PRIMARILY the Flesh, given the body-focused impossibility of satisfaction, but with some Stranger flavor. (The housemate’s specific concern is a factor here, since it was about self-harm rather than “who are you and what have you done with Daria?”)

Anthony

Sorry for second comment but I have to say, my father (whom I never speak to) sent me a photo today of an apparently fresh tattoo of just dozens of… eyes? All up his arm. With no explanation, and it was VERY SURREAL GIVEN THE CONTENT OF THESE TWO STATEMENTS LMAO

icarus

Damn i love alice. Already my fav by leaps and bounds

Lucy Pericles

I ask with love: Did we misspell Jonny's name in the credits on purpose?

Thorn

So in this universe the unfamiliarity of self and other of the Stranger merged with the body alteration of the Flesh.

MarlaBothBothIsGood

That statement goes directly to my fav list

Xan

Thank you!

Anthony

check the bottom of the patreon post, it’s there as an attachment! the sharepoint appears to be undergoing maintenance

Ben Pike

They're on the kickstarter page so I'd imagine they'll be here soon. Edit: Ah I've just seen the link is to sharepoint. It was also where the KS early access epsiodes were hosted and went down due to load. Guess they'll upload them somewhere else.

Cas D

oh sweet sammy boy, yknow what they say curiosity killed the cat... tho it's true ending is but satisfaction brought it back so let's hope he's lucky. XD

Eternal Miasma

I was lucky enough to get into MA after it finished so I went through a few episodes a day in the mornings during work prep, but god damn, this waiting for new episodes is gonna kill me. I’m loving this!

Bruna G

Looks empty to me

Restlesschild

Omg Jenny??? Fully love that I have to relisten to every statement cause I wasn’t paying attention because Alex’s [redacted] voice showed up and now Jenny Haufek made my brain fry just by existing

Xan

Do transcripts for ep 1 & 2 exist yet?

FyreFlye23
