Archivist intentionally destroying knowledge by setting Gerry free. Oof, I bet that hurt. Jon's a good friend.

Daaaaamn what a good episode. I made weird faces and gasps at least once for each part... in public. Definitely an instant new fave!!! There's the running meme about how pleasant and velvety Ben's voice is but all the actors are so great... I especially love love loved Melanie and Tim in this one and listened to it again in bed to lull me to sleep. Wonderful job everyone. I'm so anxious for all of them.

It sounds like he did burn it but it hurt him because he was destroying knowledge.

Yikes, thats some hot pure anger Melanie have right there. I hope it alludes to something deeper & darker that reside in her. Dont think Jon deserves all that hate. Its an interesting look into who she really is. Also love the meta 4th wall breaking Martin did to tell us listeners to chill with the theories lol. Great episode. although i dont really understand what happened near the very end. Did Jon finally burn the page? Why did he sound like he in pain?

This episode feels like near the end of Toy Story 3 when the toys are heading toward the incinerator and they all look at each other and it’s all in their eyes that they KNOW they’re going to die. Jonny, there isn’t going to be a Magnus equivalent toy operated claw machine saving our beloved archive staff, is there? Metaphorical heart is breaking here.
