Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.4.

Episode Notes:

• We got just as caught up in the drama of Armsmaster vs. Leviathan as Taylor
• Why cars are just the roofs of the street
• Taylor’s clever thinking earns her the front-row seat
• Taylor Hebert’s Bug Recon
• A glimmer of cooperation
• How will a life debt change the Armsmaster and Skitter dynamic going forward?
• If this Armsmaster guy would shut up we might actually like him
• Being bigheaded and being really talented are basically the same thing for Colin
• We think he’d be even better if he worked with a team, or just Tattletale
• Jenny finally gets to know “what the story’s about”
• Parahumans Trinitarianism
• Scion may the be starkest example of the coordination and communication problem the capes are having
• How some of Jenny’s big questions deserve answers beyond “suspend your disbelief”, and how Coil’s power could be one of those answers
• You gotta monologue your big hero moment
• Did Aegis have Endbringer biology?
• Is Leviathan tapped into the armbands? (No, definitely not)
• Was Leviathan actually worried for a second?
• Wildbow’s narrative power move
• Taylor’s doppelganger tech
