Well, that was a nice D&D session. Plenty of small shenanigans.
17:09:40
shinmera
gonna stream in a bit. gonna be video editing bs
17:31:02
gingerale
There was a promise of a stream but it doesn't seem to have started yet.
17:31:48
shinmera
It has not, I still need to brush teeth.
17:41:04
shinmera
gingerale: PincerAttack: stream is now
19:33:36
shinmera
hope y'all got the correct episodes ready
19:34:15
gingerale
Eight and nine, I believe?
19:34:47
gingerale
Ah, good. Because nine isn't fully downloaded.
19:37:04
PincerAttack
I forgot when we were skipping so I'll download it
19:40:10
gingerale
I'm so very tired today. Probably not enough sleep. I should see if I have any backup tea in the storage.
19:50:22
gingerale
I wonder how to place my vacation days this year.
19:50:55
gingerale
I do want the two weeks around midsummer.
19:51:11
gingerale
I'll probably just do the same I always do. Two weeks at the end of June, two weeks at the start of August.
19:51:22
gingerale
Originally I did that for studying for exams on August.
19:51:24
shinmera
I'm gonna take my holidays after I get vaccinated
19:51:36
shinmera
would be cool if we could do that meetup after all
19:51:52
gingerale
Yeah, I thought of waiting for vaccination as well but it's not like I'm going to go anywhere.
19:51:53
shinmera
but so far no idea when I'll get the shots :/
19:52:09
shinmera
right, I'm not worried about you, but flying ain't so cool
19:53:52
gingerale
Best to leave the meetup for next year. Things are way too unstable still.
19:57:16
minty
can't wait for tonight we riot to finish downloading
19:57:24
minty
been meaning to get that game for a bit
19:57:44
minty

::ramble about where's pincers
20:08:05
gingerale
Had a cup of tea and I feel better already. I really shouldy make my daily pots.
20:08:15
gingerale
Oh, right, it was happening again.
20:08:28
minty
gingy like "i feel great" while there's a girl screaming to death in the background
20:08:48
Mithent
Oh yes, we just had that murder
20:08:59
minty
lel "we just had that murder"
20:09:19
minty
i hear that in my head like "oh we just had that patio put in back of the house"
20:09:29
shinmera
Is there a single person in the world that plays golf and isn't an irredeemable piece of shit
20:09:38
Mithent
Yeah, a very normal thing to say
20:10:07
PincerAttack
You must really hate golf
20:10:18
shinmera
no, just an observation.
20:11:30
gingerale
I tried golf. It was fun.
20:11:54
gingerale
Just way too expensive for whatever reason
20:11:57
minty
i play mini-golf with my kid at the pirate mini-golf place
20:12:05
shinmera
minigolf isn't the same
20:12:06
Mithent
We had a few lessons as part of sports at school, since they got a local golf pro in for them... but I was very bad
20:12:32
Mithent
And yeah, minigolf is different
20:12:35
Colleen
Couldn't think of anything about where's pincers.
20:12:35
Colleen
Couldn't think of anything about where's pincers.

20:15:26
Mithent
Colleen has some game dev ideas
20:17:03
Mithent
He looks like he thinks he's in a Disney movie
20:17:08
minty
leland goddamnit quit being in the fuckin' way
20:18:54
minty
"we have a strong case against him" "this possessed dude spazzed out near him"
20:30:53
minty
norma like "what do you mean we"
20:33:40
gingerale
That was an excellent fall
20:34:33
minty
pete sure is enjoying this
20:36:43
gingerale
I didn't know yeather pillows were an actual thing
20:36:57
Mithent
This is a song about scaring birds?
20:37:50
Mithent
Oh, it's from Oklahoma!. Although, still
20:39:05
Mithent
There you go, Coop plays golf
20:39:50
Mithent
He was going to hit him there, with witnesses?
20:42:31
gingerale
I really love how they use light here. It reminds me of theater.
20:44:05
shinmera
"had enough of the dreams" - the studio execs
20:44:10
shinmera
making a very bad move
20:47:23
gingerale
I hope things go well for Ernie
20:48:02
Mithent
I still want to know what Diane feels about all this
20:51:22
shinmera
Aight, so here's where we jump to the last three eps (so next e20)
20:52:30
gingerale
What exactly are we missing with 9-19?
20:52:31
shinmera
E8 is famously the one that pissed Lynch off so much he didn't watch the rest
20:52:56
shinmera
And I think the "enough of the mumbo jumbo and dreams" line is kinda emblematic of why
20:53:22
shinmera
Because the rest of the season is just meandering plotlines that don't go anywhere, and a rapidly expanding cast of characters that have no real depth or reason to be around.
20:53:38
minty
let's start this sum up... from what i remember, catherine shows up as tajimura and has ben sign something in jail, then reveals that it's her, and vouches for ben
20:54:07
minty
james goes on his bike to some other town, bangs a blonde chick who's older than him who has a boyfriend that finds out and kills her or some shit, then he comes back to town
20:54:09
shinmera
bobby tries to pressure ben with the tape and becomes his "business advisor" or some shit
20:54:38
minty
nadine starts banging bobby's friend mike because she thinks she's a high schooler, allowing norma n ed to have some one on one
20:54:42
minty
norma's mom was the critic
20:54:52
shinmera
at some point leo is kidnapped by windom earle and then spends his time with him being tortured with an electro shock neckband
20:55:11
shinmera
windom kills a buncha people and sends riddler-like puzzles to coop to solve so he doesn't kill more
20:55:28
minty
ben has a psychological breakdown and recreates the civil war or some shit in his house while audrey runs the business
20:56:00
shinmera
there's a weird thingy about an ancient evil that a previous civilisation knew about
20:56:09
minty
josie comes back and starts being catherine's maid and then ends up dead somehow i forgot how
20:56:33
shinmera
windom learns about that evil and decides he needs to get to its secret before coop for some reason
20:57:05
minty
oh yeah, and windom is like, mad at coop because coop was banging his wife or some shit
20:57:30
shinmera
also windom is probably the most boring example of the "crazy evil genius" trope character ever.
20:58:09
minty
leland goes to jail and dies in jail... bob leaves his body, allowing leland to have the awareness that he killed his daughter before he dies as a master troll move
20:58:50
shinmera
audrey falls in love with some business guy from another town and then he skedaddles again and it's all a whole buncha nothing
20:59:09
minty
he's played by billy zane
20:59:15
gingerale
So it all turns into a soap opera for a while.
20:59:30
minty
from such movies as "titanic" and "tales from the crypt: demon knight"
20:59:41
shinmera
uuuh, coop's boss shows up a bunch for some reason
20:59:43
PincerAttack
Billy Zane is cool
20:59:49
minty
and you never see laura's mom again for all this
20:59:53
shinmera
a former associate of coop's who's now a trans woman shows up for a while for some reason
21:00:00
minty
nevermind the emotional trauma of her husband killing her daughter
21:00:42
shinmera
uuuh, norma's ex husband dies at some point, I forget why
21:00:57
Mithent
What is Leland taken in for?
21:01:29
minty
she wanted to divorce him but ed wasn't willing to leave nadine
21:02:01
minty
OH, and we find out josie is the one who shot coop
21:02:16
shinmera
yeah that's never explained at all and makes no sense
21:02:25
minty
AND coop's old friend is played by the guy from x files
21:02:47
shinmera
anyway. it's a whole buncha nothing and you're //really// not missing anything.
21:03:12
minty
the only point to watch any of this is to see leo get made a bitch
21:03:19
shinmera
the last three we'll watch next are: ok, to possibly worst ep overall, to "lynch steps in to save it at the last moment"
21:04:03
shinmera
oh, right, that ancient evil they find out is called "the black lodge" and supposedly bob spawned from there
21:04:09
shinmera
they find that in some cave somewhere for some reason
21:04:17
Mithent
Leland got caught for the murder?
21:04:39
gingerale
Anything else that ep 20 in particular needs us to know?
21:05:04
shinmera
idk but if there is we can probably fill in
21:05:25
minty
so, the only character that lynch's character can hear without needing the hearing aid is shelly johnson
21:05:54
shinmera
the whole black lodge subplot is the only really significant one, and that one is so fragmented throughout the whole season it's really hard to keep track of.
21:06:10
minty
and a girl arrives near the end of the season that coop falls for at the diner. played by the chick who slept with fat bastard in the austin powers movie
21:06:27
shinmera
like they investigate some stuff and then just... don't? for episodes before it suddenly becomes relevant again.
21:06:28
minty
and there's a "miss twin peaks" thing going on
21:06:43
minty
and all the main character girls are excited for it
21:06:47
minty
now let's start this shitshow
21:07:09
PincerAttack
A lot of this doesn't sound like Twin Peaks
21:07:17
shinmera
you hit the nail on the head
21:07:33
shinmera
PincerAttack: gingerale: Mithent: minty: ready?
21:07:37
minty
and then the studio was like "let's fuck this up"
21:08:02
minty
brilliant acting by the way in the leland death scene
21:08:10
minty
if you wanna go back n watch ep 9 for that
21:08:14
shinmera
ye, leland death scene is good.
21:10:18
minty
cheddar n sour cream flavor
21:10:20
shinmera
I have some good ones but got brushed teeth so
21:11:09
gingerale
How did Hank die again?
21:11:24
minty
i wanna say he got killed by the fukken dude?
21:11:32
minty
however you spell that in french?
21:11:47
Mithent
Sorry about that, ready now
21:13:55
minty
aaaand there's coop's friend
21:14:00
gingerale
That's a big chess piece
21:14:12
shinmera
yeah that's the whole riddler bs I talked about
21:14:16
minty
*That's a big disappointment
21:15:41
Mithent
Don't go for a brew with a weird guy in a suit in the forest, I guess
21:16:01
gingerale
I wouldn't mind brewing things in the woods while wearing a suit
21:16:50
gingerale
Did anything happen with Andy and Lucy's thing?
21:16:54
shinmera
oh right there's a whole thing where lucy goes back and forth between lucy and dick
21:17:11
PincerAttack
So she's still mad at him
21:17:26
shinmera
they didn't know what to do with her
21:17:48
minty
look, there's a lot of filler
21:18:17
minty
so, even though dick was being, y'know, a dick, for SOME reason he's not thrown out
21:18:51
shinmera
aaa I wish we could just end the season today
21:19:24
minty
oh yeah, eileen... he, back in high school or some shit, dated this dude's wife
21:19:33
shinmera
oh right after recovering from his civil war thing ben turns into a dogooder
21:19:36
minty
and now, for some reason, wants to talk to her or some shit
21:19:47
shinmera
and like wants to do everything right and advocate for justice and shit at the expense of his business
21:19:55
PincerAttack
Zane is pretty good
21:20:16
gingerale
This really did turn into a soap opera.
21:21:13
minty
so yeah, nobody on her birth certificate as father. so ben might be her dad
21:21:27
shinmera
oh right, forgot about that sht
21:21:47
shinmera
again, all of this has aaaaabsolutely no relevance for the ending of s2 or s3
21:22:04
shinmera
the only thing that does is the black lodge, which is only really introduced in the last ep.
21:23:25
minty
audrey horn, high schooler, business woman
21:23:35
shinmera
oh right, briggs gets a bit of an expanded role as a government agent for like alien shit
21:24:26
Mithent
Oh yeah, you said he'd be involved in more than you'd have thought
21:26:36
PincerAttack
He really is Riddler
21:27:00
shinmera
iirc project blue book is an actual IRL project the US had about alien shit.
21:27:24
minty
oh yeah, there's an explosive collar on leo
21:27:31
PincerAttack
Is log lady safe? Is she okay?
21:27:37
shinmera
minty: not explosive, electro shock
21:27:47
shinmera
PincerAttack: log lady is ok
21:27:54
shinmera
PincerAttack: doesn't show up much she's too interesting
21:30:27
shinmera
oh right there's a feud between the mayor and some other guy for some reason
21:30:39
minty
oh yeah this woman somehow charms everyone
21:30:43
shinmera
and like entire subplots around them falling in love or w/e
21:33:28
minty
oh yeah and for some reason even though leo wanted to kill shelly he looks very sad that windom wants to
21:34:14
Mithent
Oh, he got quite a bit better then
