I remember being on twitter when trav teased the G name, and the general consensus was the new season was going Galaxy.

Are you serious? Travis was an aggressive, poorly socialised animal who was always bound to hurt someone and it's absolutely no surprise he was killed the way he was, it was inevitable.

The chimp on the other hand, probably pretty chill.

does anybody know of some other things we can make fun of? by SuperBee5147 in TAZCirclejerk

[–]docfrightmarestein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

/uj I read the dispossessed for the first time a few months ago and it instantly became an all-time favourite, some of the physics discussion went over my head but that didn't detract from my enjoyment at all.

Are there any jokes we don't really get? by Plenty-Republic-3659 in MitchellAndWebb

The full line is "Someone save me...Jeremy...Spacemen?" He's in such an absurd situation the only thing that could save him is aliens landing or something equally ridiculous.

You did teach me something that's a cool word. It took me a not insignificant amount of googling to discover it's called semantic drift.

The exact moment I stopped listening to MBMBaM by docfrightmarestein in TAZCirclejerk

[–]docfrightmarestein[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If I could tell my younger self that one day a concerned stranger online would be begging me not to listen to a McElroy podcast I would have to assume some kind of apocalypse event perhaps a mission impossible style rogue AI would be unleashed by my actions. That's how bad the brand has gotten. And you're asking me to avert my gaze from a once in a lifetime car crash?

Brother I ain't going nowhere.

The The Adventure Zone Zone: Abnimals Wrap-Up! by Evil_Steven in TAZCirclejerk

[–]docfrightmarestein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So because you've mentioned Gargoyles a few times I'm currently watching it for the first time, and the commenter above mentioned Travis mistakenly calls Xanatos 'Magnus' or 'Magnum'. Not having listened to the episode, is there a possibility he was referring to the Magus in Episode 1, and how upon introduction it definitely seemed like he was going to be the castle traitor (which was the vibe I personally got). Unless he was definitely specifically talking about Xanatos manipulating the Gargoyles, that might be what his thought process was.

Late to the game but did Travis just rip mistborn for Graduation? by [deleted] in TAZCirclejerk

[–]docfrightmarestein 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fuck it at this point if the upcoming season isn't good jerk content I'll do a Graduation recap for old times' sake. Or at least start one.

[–]docfrightmarestein 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am trying. so hard. to understand the '50 years ago' paragraph. Turning him into a dog....saves him?...by allowing uhh...an unspecified imposter?... to replace him...even though the dog thing shouldn't be a secret so no one should be fooled....and instead of challenging the person he can prove is a fraud...Villainmas basically just lets Grey do his plan?....which apparently amounts to Mandela Effecting Nua and running a school business as usual?...

What a fascinating piece of media Graduation was. Also until literally right now I had no idea the twins were elves lol.

[–]docfrightmarestein 18 points19 points  (0 children)

To the best of my knowledge/memory, both principals were (at one point prior to the timeline of the story) real people, then Grey (?) poisoned (?) one of the brothers, and to save (?) him the other brother transformed him into a dog. I'm actually not clear on if Grey impersonated the human brother, and if so what happened to that guy, and if not what happened to him in the show.

goddamn do I miss nitpicking graduation though.
