Jenny and Ted discuss Infestation 11.d.

Episode Notes:

• The most romantic chapter in Worm
• Butterflies in the machine
• The nature of Colin’s ego
• What difference does it make that Colin has this connection to Dragon?
• How real love can be selfish
• Could love hold Colin back from something he sees as the greater good?
• If Mannequin thought Dragon would keep Colin alive, why doesn’t he try harder to isolate Colin from her?
• Colin isn’t gettable, and especially not after choosing death over recruitment
• The only reason these interludes happen is because the Slaughterhouse Nine are all drama queens
• If we’re both single at age 30, let’s dedicate ourselves to the greater good
• Colin’s like, you should have been Man-no-kin!
• His superhero complex
• Mannequin’s body as a metaphor for grief
• A case study in how a hero can fall (and possibly, on how the Simurgh works)
• An eyepatch for an eyepatch
• He didn’t know it but he already wanted to be a cyborg
• What if the Endbringers are meant to be culling the capes or hindering humanity?
• Noting different reactions to different offensive words
• Brate?
• Predictions, rankings, and merchandizing
