Thank you ever so much to Max for commissioning this episode!
This is a fantastic start to a new season, and I can't wait to see what the hell they decide to do with Guillermo as time goes on because his resentment really is steadily growing. Meanwhile, we've got an endless parade of new familiars, who all die in a variety of wild, unlikely ways.
Also, I really have to mention that I rewatched this episode and Owen pointed out that the Topher is fucking HALEY JOEL OSMENT????
Thanks for listening!

Thank you again to Bernadette for commissioning this episode!
These episodes are the ones in which we get to see even more of poor Chopper's history, and all of my assumptions turned out to be wrong. There was a whole other guy that Chopper....interned with? So to speak?....before the Witch, and while I can understand the affection that Chopped has for him...I just don't like the guy. He kinda sucks.
That said, I'm thinking that teaming up with Luffy's crew will be a definite step up in Chopper's life. If, that is, he accepts the invitation.
Thanks for listening, and I will see you on the other side with a new episode!

Thank you to Patricia for commissioning this episode!
This chapter is the one that has made me the most nervous so far. We are finding out that a whole planet is populated by beings that are not JUST overshadowed, but are literal avatars of the Lone Power. I honestly don't even know what to do with this information. Also, there's the whole thing with Nita's father being totally MIA (not to mention Tom & Carl) and I don't like the smell of that either.
Thank you again for listening, and I will be seeing you on the other side with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Joanna for commissioning this episode!
These were really great chapters, and I'm so interested in what's going on with each character that I'm having the rare experience of NEVER being sad when we start a new chapter from a different POV. Unlike SOME books I could name. *coughasoiafcough*
These chapters are the ones in which Isaak has his first test as King, Nikolai has his first test as the Beast, and Nina has a confrontation with both her companions and with Hanne.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you SO MUCH to Ashley for commissioning this episode!
What a great ending episode to this season. I'm fascinated by where this is going, and never saw this coming at all despite the fact that (as the flashbacks show us) many of the signs were there. Also, we get a wrap on the Gregor storyline, and while I'm devastated that we won't get to see his hot ass again, it's honestly perfection.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with the premiere to Season 2!

Thank you so much to Bernadette for commissioning this episode!
These episodes are the ones in which Nami begins to recover, and tries to thank Chopper for attending her, and Chopper FREAKS OUT over it. I feel that it's an overreaction until Luffy sees him and literally tries to hunt him down to kill and eat him. Turns out that poor Chopper has a tragic backstory and isn't used to anyone treating him like a person instead of a monster.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so very much to Heather for commissioning this episode!
I'm delighted that we're getting into some really unexpected territory here, but also I was so unprepared for this shit to actually WORK that now I'm a little bit freaked out. I mean, Elgen Spears can be an evil genius all he wants when he's just TRYING to do something...but him SUCCEEDING? No, I don't like that at all. This is where I draw the line.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you all in February with a new episode!

Thank you to Bernadette for commissioning this episode!
These episodes are the ones in which we wind up on a remote, wintry island in a land with no doctors. All they've got is an amazingly youthful, fashionable witch with a mean streak and a mean pair of bellbottoms. And honestly I think we could all stand to learn something from her about graceful aging and the power of negotiation.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode!
In these chapters, we get to a really freaky destination that makes Nita feel so disturbed and upset that she's physically nauseous, which I deeply do not care for. Meanwhile, Dairine is going back to the original location of her ordeal and her creation of an alien robot race, and honestly it's pretty heartwarming. My heart is warmed.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you shortly with a new episode!

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode!
It's been a bit since the last episode covering Evolve, and we've moved along into some NEW POVs this time around. I'm very much into seeing Jordan through Brian's eyes, and I'm shocked at how insecure he is about her. I can understand it of course, but I didn't expect it based on the way he behaves around her. Which I guess is actually impressive!
Thanks for listening!
