Jenny and Ted discuss Extermination 8.5.

Episode Notes:

• One of Jenny's least favorite moments of anything ever!
• We're outraged by the medical establishment and also the PRT
• Maybe Taylor should have known better than to, uh, be a villain
• Taylor got here through a tragedy of circumstances
• Maybe she should've just joined the Wards, though
• Panacea predictions
• Scion is so Jesus-coded
• Theories about Taylor's power-up
• Was Leviathan trying to target Coil?
• Unfair that Leviathan's attention is focused on destruction at so many different scales
• The halberd is a beautiful prop
• The triumph of the bug people
• Passing a persuasion check
• The New Wave family saga
• How come Scion can't kill the Endbringers?
• We want an interlude from Scion's human contact
• Does Scion actually hate humans, or what?
• Effective anticlimax
• The best revenge is being better than Mr. Gladly
• Taylor's relationship to preserving her own life
• Taylor's not the main character in other people's lives
• Feelings about Bitch the hero and her connection to Taylor
• The Undersiders might have made it through this fight okay? The dogs definitely didn't though
• We want Armsmaster and Flechette to collaborate
• We were sold on bringing all these random capes to the fight
• Where's the tinker army in this fight?
• Strider's death has some concerning implications
• This arc is really creating a desire for the extermination of the Endbringers
• This story is about capes, but sometimes we have to remember the civilians
