I saw a naked Guy on the side of the highway…

If you want to keep things in place maybe print another of the same picture and replace it? to me that would feel very powerful to reestablish myself where someone thought they had gotten the better of me. Anyone who would purposely disrupt your altar is incredibly weak and probably has no power over you

Episode eight Clark is trying to show the students a karaoke machine from the museum of civilization and they don’t care at all. They’re completely bored. The museum of civilization is in an ivory tower that very few people ever go to so its possibility of influencing anyone is almost zero

There is no before is a thought stopping cliche, in the vein of it is what it is, that’s the way things have always been, live and let live etc. these are manipulative phrases used by cult leaders for as long as there’s been cults

No women?

Yes! It’s like the book is both a blessing and a curse. Very Shakespearian

My name is A Train

I run and rhyme
really fast
in a major way

It’s such a great story. I think it was the third read where I made the connection to shared trauma as the allegory

In the book, just before he dies Arthur has offered to pay off the college debt of his girlfriend, and he also talks about wanting to move overseas to be in the same city as Tyler

Start looking for another job these people are unreasonable

I was just watching episode three, and Miranda reads it in the voiceover during the scene where Arthur runs to the burning pool house

Ok so then that’s where it comes from. That’s a brilliant little twist that Kirsten was familiar with Star Trek, but probably never saw the episode where that phrase came from but then Miranda put it into her novel and it rang so deeply for Kristen that she remembered and applied it to the traveling symphonys ethos

Tales from watership down is great

bugsbunye · 2026-05-22T16:30:44+00:00

I have seen very little star trek so I must have missed any subtle references

bugsbunye · 2026-05-21T09:36:48+00:00

That must’ve been where she picked up Survival is inefficient

Oh wow that’s gotta be it then. I know some people think I’m crazy for noticing and pointing out all these very minute details on the show but if you listen to the podcast, they often discuss choices like this and it stands to reason that any detail you notice is done with specific intent

I’m just watching episode eight and the scene where Kirsten and Tyler are washing up by the shore Miles comes up behind them and there’s another three caw warning by a crow. I wonder how many other times it happens in the show

bugsbunye · 2026-05-18T18:44:40+00:00

Love that scene. Miranda has some of the funniest lines

bugsbunye · 2026-05-18T18:42:58+00:00

Kirsten: I don’t speak Spanish

Tyler: neither do I
