Jenny and Ted discuss Parasite 10.1.

Episode Notes:

• Regent the Yeerk
• Talking through how his power works
• What’s their plan for Sophia, both short and long term?
• Arc 9 has made it harder for us to root for Taylor vs. the (non-Sophia) Wards
• Whatever she’s all in on, it’s not Coil
• Jenny could see Taylor setting any number of goals at this point
• Well, does she deserve it? The narrative tempts us to say yes or not think about it too hard
• Does Regent’s power doom him to villainy?
• Guessing at what’s in Regent’s head right now
• Genre tropes help cover up the horror
• Undersiders personnel changes
• Secret Grue feelings about Taylor
• Taylor spends a lot of time thinking about Rachel
• Jenny predicted Imp's annoyingness correctly
• Grue's dependency on Coil
• Why doesn't this version of the U.S. have endbringer FEMA?
• We're so happy to be back in Taylor's head
• Broken windows isn't a thing for Taylor
• The worms of Brockton Bay are thematically ascendant
• We're starting season two of the Worm TV show
• Procedural stuff continues to be satisfying
• What's eating Brian?
