Play NowWelcome to the latest Twincast/Podcast Mainframes episode featuring Lost Light Issues 8 and 9 discussed in-depth by the team, with full spoliers of each issue to be expected within. We discuss whether the book is getting back on track to the main story from More Than Meets The Eye, how this issue develops characters and relationships, and some of the more obscure breadcrumbs being left for future stories by James Roberts. We examine the pacing and parallels in the books and how plot threads are converging to the climax, and what the implications of that climax are. The main plot involving characters Velocity and Nautica in their attempt to revive the deceased Skids is looked at from a visual storytelling perspective, as well as through other means of analysis. Anode and Lug's continuing adventures are also discussed, with some of the cast finding a purposeful "heel" nature being used in their characterization. The mysterious Flame and his presumed leader Scorponok come up as well, with Lost Light's overall mytharc being furthered by their appearances in these issues. Before the episode ends, the cast also speculates on the upcoming action aboard the Lost Light as we see where the mutineers, lead by Getaway, have gone and where the story heads next.
