Just getting to listen to this episode but I have to say as a PhD candidate this one hit on some very real fears 😬
Ellie Fogleman
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 gahhhhhhh thank you!

Martin and the Archivist exchanging "I love you" Me: *heart explodes into a million feels Also Me: Oh God, this is the beginning of the end for them, isn't it? Martin's going to get lost in his Domain, *sobs*
NoMercyPercy
Martin: "sure i love you". My gay heart: <3
Kate Sparrow
Helen just wants to be FRIENDS, y'all! As we've all seen in 2020, making and maintaining friendships at the end of the world is hard. Respect her emotional openness for being willing to ask!
Nicky
Whether Martin had a domain was brought up early in the season and he did explicitly tell John he didn’t want to know

This was absolutely delicious. I LOVE how Ms. Weird Architecture pops up unexpectedly whenever our guys least want to see her :D (I remember her popping out of an elevator in a previous episode with the evillest DING! hahahaha). She is lovely and vicious and delightful and totally barmy, I love her so much. The statement was amazing, I loved how the two characters kept going at it, totally oblivious to their predicament except for their sheer, stubborn and totally useless dedication to their theory. Horror notwithstanding, they were absolutely fun to listen to. And the last bit, OH (FEAR) GODS, I have listened to the last part so many times, to get all the explanations and... fabric rustling bits ;) Yesterday was my birthday and I might have done a little happy dance at the last few seconds of it. THANK YOU RUSTY QUILL, THANK YOU

I don't know how spoiler free we should keep these comments but I've been thinking about this episode all night. The last exchange between Jon and Martin thank you thank you thank you thank you. That was so good to hear. I love that they disagree and argue but never fight or threaten the other with like.. A breakup or something. Also Mrs H. D. Stortion I love youuuuu!! Imogen really went OFF with this one, this was one of the best episodes for her both in terms of characterisation and voice acting. Also the soundscape!! Chef's kiss!! Bravo everybody, this was one of my favourite eps this season. Cannot wait to see familiar faces again (or can I? 😬)
Sinclair Cross
A mix of the Lonely and the Beholding? Fascinating. It makes sense, too! Loved this episode and can't wait for the next one! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Haven't listened yet bc I have to catch up a bit, but randomly checked the shoutouts and see I'm there. I was always hoping I'd show up in a tma episode, but to have not only that but, based on the comments, a good(??) episode for Martin: blessed lol🙏🏽🙏🏽💖💖
Paola Ivanna
excuse me he has a WHAT
Catherine Hills
What an ep! Nothing stresses me out more in a story than a fork in the path. Can't wait to re-listen to this one ♥️
Mantha Grant
Can't wait to have my feelings hurt next week! <3

I listened to this during my figure drawing class and gasped aloud on Zoom at the jonmartin bit lol
LainyJP
Right?? Depending on my frame of mind, I may have to wait and read the transcripts on this one first. When my depression takes over, I very much feel like I'm not noticed in my own life. Hug to you if you consent.

JONMARTIN COMMUNITY HOW WE FEELING? (Also: the fabric rustles)
Another_Maxx
(record scratch) Martin has a domain!? Cool. Also, THAT ENDING! YES!!! THANK YOU!
Reanna _
This episode was brilliant. So well written as always. But the fact Martin still wants to throw hands with literally every avatar and entity he meets is the best. So unbelievably excited for next episode. And also fear for it after that SUPER CUTE ending ❤❤❤
Emily Arotin Wagner
I really don’t want to hear about the domain I would end up in next week........

Murdo Homewood
i love to receive my weekly dose of fabric rustles, bless you for this content
giantenemykat
that was super interesting! i am really interested to see the domain itself
LainyJP
I loved that statement sooo much! It was so so interesting and I could see what described! Had heavy Beholding influence as well in this one. The thirst for knowledge above all else! Anyone else super nervous about Martin's domain? 😬
Maddie B
My brain is so on fire with theories I'm pretty sure I could mine bitcoins.

MuddyHippy
Oh my heart. This was painfully satisfying and excellently done as always!
ThirdFromTheLeft
Incredible episode! The complex issues they have to confront. The characterization. The pathos! The statement! The vivid prose. The incredible emotion. The world building. The lore. The voice acting. The I love you! The emotion. The buildup for the next episode. Just. Everything. Utter perfection. I am incoherent. This was so so well done!!!!
Isabelle
I love the academic on academic violence in this statement lmao, it was hilarious, screw robert smirke. And helen! Martin! That post statement! So excited

It's here! My fix is here! I have dropped EVERYTHING for this! 😍
