Thank you very much to Kyle for commissioning this episode!
Due to a scheduling problem, I wound up having to record this one on a Saturday, but it was worth it! I am super curious what's happening because I thought that I was sort of getting it, but I'm beginning to think I had it all wrong. And of course we get another murder because people aren't smart enough to just vacate like they CLEARLY should. I hate it here!
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you very much to George for commissioning this episode!
So the first thing that we find out in this set of chapters if that Lucan cheated on their training exercise, and that his impressive use of the sheets didn't happen; he was just taking advantage of poor Ayana's ignorance. I mean, I guess that works?
But the main event of this set of chapters is the hideous, sickening, DISGUSTING island which is actually a floating piece of Nakothi's corpse. And I HATE ALL OF IT.
Thanks for listening!

Thank you so much to Gabriela for commissioning these episodes!
These were a great couple of installments. First we get a lot of information about Nami and her childhood, and it turns out she was adopted by a virtual stranger along with her "sister" in a tragic turn of events. Then we find out that indeed she did NOT kill Usopp, and instead hurt HERSELF to make it look convincing! I'm impressed.
Thanks so much to all of you for listening to this episode, and I will see you soon with a new one!

And now it's time to say goodbye.
Thank you so much to Megan for commissioning this episode, and for commissioning the lion's share of the show. Thanks also to all of you who have chipped in along the way to ensure that I got to the end. I'm so glad that I got to experience this with you all.
This special was a really great way to say goodbye, and I'm looking forward to seeing some performances that were apparently cut from the final episode. I will miss these characters so much and I really can't wait to see what Rachel Bloom gets up to next.
Thanks again to you all for listening, and I will see you around!

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this whole series!
Apparently the series will be returning at some point in September (less than a month from now!) so I'm hoping I get to pick it back up again because this show has really been a delight. It hasn't been perfect but I really appreciate the way they coped with so many things this season, and especially how they addressed Otis and his attitude growing worse and worse. I'm so sorry for Maeve tho, even though I really do think she did the right thing. And My god but that musical was...really something.
Thanks again so much to you all for listening, and I hope to see you with Season 3!

Thank you so much to Megan who commissioned this episode and also commissioned a live watch!
I can't believe the story is over (well, it's not over at all, but you know what I mean). This was a deeply satisfying finale and I'm so happy with how everything shook out in the end. I wasn't sure what direction they were going to go in, but I decided to have faith and it paid off. This is just what I wanted.
Thank you all again so much for listening, and stay tuned for one last farewell episode before we bid the series goodbye.

Thank you so much to George for commissioning this episode!
We're slowly learning a little more about the lore of this universe, and we get to see just how specialized and secret the Gardener faction of the Consultants is. Lucan, as it turns out, is a rare badass with his reading abilities, while Shera is in a different league from everyone else by virtue of her attitude if not her lack of empathy. Meia, on the other hand, struggles to keep up despite never being willing to quit. It must really suck being Yala's kid.
Thanks again for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to George for commissioning this episode!
These chapters we get to see more of how the Gardners get trained and how the Consultants are set up. Apparently Gardeners are pretty rare, judging by the reception that Shera gets when it's assumed she's going to be a Mason. I really enjoy the names for all these positions, and I'm super curious to learn more about the lore of this place and how the hell the magical system really works.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Robin for commissioning this episode!
This was a really fun one, and I'm super curious whether the Baron survived his barbecuing or not. He seemed pretty dead but I don't know how this works! Overall the whole leadup and the way this all goes was almost touching? He's having a great time, and if he DID die, it seems like he went out with a bang.
Thank you all so much for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Gabriela for commissioning this episode!
These were some very eventful episodes. I cannot emphasize enough how HERE I am for the Fishmen. While Nami reveals that she's been working for them all along, Zoro gets captured and Usopp gets...murdered!? Nah I don't buy it.
Thanks so much to all of you for listening to this episode, and I will see you soon with a new one!
