Episode 9 - Gleeful Gulps and Simmering Chuckles

Download the Podcast Here

A long episode this week, as this chapter is almost as long as the last two combined (still pretty short all told) the Evil!Fargas arc is closed off for good as the Tranquillity wrecks the fleet chasing them out of the system and decide that having already made enemies out of the empire, they should try to hit up the Insurrectionists. The journey is eventful, as Jack and Tona admit their feelings for each other, they try and work out how they can leave this dimension and we learn that Hollister is a terrifying force after he has a few Katarina Ales. Your two bookends are not without comment on these topics, in particular going on a diatribe over why the Jack and Tona relationship paints Jack as definitely an awful Captain, and possibly an awful person in general.

Episode 8 - Similar Slack Jaws

This week your bookends Peter and Louis yet again talk about a chapter only a few pages long for 50 minutes, wherein we discus Jack Hunter’s prisoner management skills, Tona Shrike with her sexy sexy head and skewed priorities when it comes to choosing between trousers and being able to fire her gun safely. In particular we realise that we have no idea what kind of a person Tona is supposed to be from her characterisation before being utterly dumfounded both by the laughably poor siege of the tranquillity by Evil!Fargas and the overwhelming OP-ness of the APAGs kinetic barriers.

Episode 7 - Pants Guard

This episode, the pair of absolute Bookends Peter and Louis read a short chapter they accuse of imbuing an attempted rape with comedy, seemingly unaware of the fact they are in fact themselves are making light of rape for comedy. It is pretty funny though, at least when Lewis is the one at the helm writing the rape scenario. Also, they speculate on just how capable Tona should be after an arn unconscious, a rifle butt to the head and being held aloft by the neck. I don’t think I’d be in a fit state to take on 4 men and win in this state, but I guess Tona is just that good.

Episode 6 - Apag, All Purpose Gear, APG, Apags or AyPeGee's

This episode our hero Jack spends the chapter inside a prison cell, talking to himself, poking things with a fork, talking to terrorists Insurrectionists until getting saved by Hollister, the real hero of the story. As ever, your two bookends Louis and Peter are bemused and spend far too long talking about just how many versions of spelling the Illmarium Republic needs for their combat harnesses.
