Spoil Me

Thank you so much to Heather for commissioning this episode! These chapters are the ones in which Lindon tells the team the truth about his origin and what's been going on with planet Earth this whole time. It's the time for revelations, because Jordan has told her sisters the truth about their own family as well. Or perhaps it's NOT the time for revelations, because Jordan sure doesn't share with...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode was really fucking heavy. There's so much grief, there's so much violence, and there are some really effective, stark examples of how these cycles of violence continue to play out endlessly, even spanning generations. Poor Winry unexpectedly gets hit with the news that the guy Ed is fighting is the same guy who killed her parents, and w...

Thank you very much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! This installment of Sex Education gets a whole lot of things done, and I believe that's because so much of the focus is on the way that characters communicate with each other. We've got Isaac coming clean to Maeve after lying for months, there's Jean and Jakob sitting down and being honest about what they want, there's Adam figuring o...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In these episodes we see the immediate aftermath of the fight between Colonel Mustard and Lust, and Havoc is apparently paralyzed from the way down. This sucks. I hate this for him. Meanwhile, Ed is trying to use himself as bait for the Homunculi by putting his life in danger by fighting Scar in the street. I'm not sure exactly how effective this wi...

Thank you very much to Yama for commissioning this episode! In the remainder of this chapter, we come face-to-face with the Lone One much more quickly than I had expected. I have to be honest, I'm a little disappointed by how that scene went, but there's enough left of the book that I'm thinking maybe Diane Duane can still pull this one out. On a sadder note, it seems we've lost Ronan and I'm supe...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this one we're getting some additional information about what could potentially be going on with Al's body in the portal based on some revelations about the bodies that were conjured with alchemy. The issue I'm having is that there are an awful lot of leaps being made that don't seem to have a lot of evidence behind them, and I'm wondering if the...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this episode, we're getting the confrontation between Colonel Mustard and Lust, and shit goes very very left. When they track down Barry The Chopper in the hospital, there's a big showdown that ends with Havoc badly injured, and Barry dead. Meanwhile, Ed is off on his own and stumbles across his father. Thanks for listening, and I will see you so...

Thank you so much to Ashleigh for commissioning this episode! I'm so excited to be getting back into this universe. I'm really into the changes that we're seeing in this season already, and I'm super curious what lies in store with the new Headmistress. Also, I'm waiting for the bomb of Otis's deleted message to explode. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! We're starting the next book in the Children Of Divinity series, and we're finding out about the Incarna and the way that they assisted with the direction of humanity's growth over the millenia. We get a lot more detail about how it worked, and the fact that they are getting instructions from an actual god? Well damn. Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! We're getting the wrap-up of the whole mess with Barry The Chopper in this episode as Gluttony is in the middle of trying to strangle Hawkeye when the curtain goes up. What follows is a series of chases that end in the basement area of a hospital, and we watch Colonel Mustard go absolutely ham on Lust's ass. Thanks so much for listening!

Thank you again so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode has got my conspiracy theory wheels rolling, and there's no telling where their spinning is going to take me. I spend pretty much the entire episode going back and forth on whether or not Ross is actually dead, and whether or not Roy has actually gone bad. I CAN'T DECIDE. But I think she's still alive? Or not? 😫 I DON'T K...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where what I've been dreading finally happens; Ed and Al find out that Hughes has been killed. And then, due to some meddling from Envy, Ross is arrested for the murder. Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! I cannot believe our friends still don't know that Hughes is dead. Like. Also, there's a weird prince and a little girl who have suddenly popped up, and I really don't trust either one of them but I also can't figure out what their angles could be so I guess I just have to let it go. Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new epi...

Thank you to Yama for commissioning this new episode! This chapter is the one in which our whole crew is gathered together again just in time for an attack from a bunch of Yaldiv warriors...an attack that was somehow overlooked by the powerful entity occupying Ronan's body. We also learn about the differences in the way the Choice went between the Yaldiv and dogs, and I really do love the dog vers...

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! So this episode is the one where we find out what Bradley's connection is to all the shit that's been going on, and we also get to meet the Father and watch him kill his own...son? I guess?...so as to absorb his essence back into himself and hopefully create a new homunculus that functions a little more according to specs. Thanks so much to...

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! In these final chapters, I find out that my theory on Aftermath keeping Lilly alive secretly is not what's going on, and I'm deeply disappointed that she's actually dead. Meanwhile, Jordan and Jason have a talk and basically decide that they're going to defect and create a squad of their own, since obviously McIntyre can't be trusted at all. But...

Thank you again so much to Max for commissioning this episode! So this episode is the one where Al gets kidnapped because he got a little cocky about being able to handle a real sketchy crowd that lures him into an alley. Turns out that the one that heads this little gang is Greed, and he's surprised to meet someone who is just a soul bound to armor, even though this is definitely not as unusual a...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! In this installment of The Elric Brothers Reflect On Their Mysterious Past, we find out only a TINY bit more about what the deal is with their father, and I don't mind telling you all that I hate the man already. He seems like a real piece of shit and I'm not looking forward to finding out all the ways he's let his kids down in addition to abandonin...

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode is when our friends arrive at Rush Valley, the center of all things Automail, and there's a pickpocket there who is saving money up to pay back a man who has always refused to accept any money from her in the past. Which is a bulletproof plan that makes total sense. Also, a lady goes into labor and Winry's can-do attitude gets her a spo...

Thank you to Heather for commissioning this episode! In these chapters, we've got a major confrontation with Aftermath and Lillly going head-to-head in the streets, and and this is followed by a confrontation between Aftermath and Ethan going head-to-head on a Zoom call. It seems like maybe Ethan has been a lot shadier than he's let on, and perhaps Aftermath has some more valid points than I thoug...

Max, this is the second time that I'm going to be cursing you instead of thanking you for commissioning this damn show. Why would you do this to me. Poor Hughes.

Thank you to Max for commissioning this episode! This is the episode where Al deals with his suspicions about being a created, artificial being that Ed invented and filled with fictional memories. I was sad that the bad guy managed to get under Al's skin so much, but I'm glad that it's been dealt with so quickly, although I wouldn't have been mad about it if they stretched it out a little longer....

Thank you so much to Heather for commissioning this episode! I'm back with the team, and there's all kinds of interesting developments. It turns out that humanity is actually a back-up colony of less advanced Incarna, in case all of them die in the war with the Jenagyr. That's kind of rude, and I'm offended. But also, I like that there's potential for me to eventually have powers in this equation....

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! This episode is the one where the boys face off with the two hollow suits of armor that area inhabited by the souls of serial killers. In Ed's case, he's nearly bested simply because his arm gives out, while Al is being psychologically attacked in a way I never expected. Thanks for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

Thank you so much to Max for commissioning this episode! In this episode we find out that one of the key ingredients required to make the Philosopher's Stone is a human life, which I am pretty sure most of us had figured already. Meanwhile, the sweet summer children who are guarding Ed and Al seem totally surprised that the government would EVER be involved in something like that. LOL.
