Episode 29: “What Color Is Your Sasquatch?”
Welcome to Episode 29, in which we wrap up Snowbird’s magical mystery pregnancy, encounter a real-life tale of Arctic exploration gone wrong (redundant, really, that “gone wrong”) made mystical(?!), and run into Talisman again. And, y’know what? Chris may have had a point about her. But maybe don’t mention that to him such that it goes to his head.
Very much not in this episode? Marrina! But probably next time. Maybe.
In this episode, Chris:
- gives some solid advice re: best practices when one’s partner is giving birth (short version: do what you’re told)
- acknowledges that there’s nothing subtle about Aurora’s…depiction here
- makes some choice selections vis-a-vis audio gags (try and figure out which ones are his!)
and Tom:
- tries something new to memorialize le morte de Waltair
- takes us on quite the diversion re: The Terror and Dan Simmons
- gets why The Doug is so upset, just can’t give him too much credit since he’s way too much of a dick about it
