00:01:43   about john scalzi is recently published [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/103">TS</a>]

00:01:46   novel the human division which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/106">TS</a>]

00:01:49   interesting in that it was published [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/109">TS</a>]

00:01:51   first as a weekly series of ebook [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/111">TS</a>]

00:01:53   installments and then later wrapped up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/113">TS</a>]

00:01:55   into a regular old-fashioned book that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/115">TS</a>]

00:01:59   was published not too long ago and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/119">TS</a>]

00:02:12   plowing through those nominees and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/132">TS</a>]

00:02:16   we'll get that in a few weeks but we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/136">TS</a>]

00:02:22   to Part A two act play if you will of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/142">TS</a>]

00:02:26   the book club so we should get started [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/146">TS</a>]

00:02:29   with john scalzi we covered him before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/149">TS</a>]

00:02:32   we talked about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/152">TS</a>]

00:02:33   we talked about his books numerous times [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/153">TS</a>]

00:02:35   we talked about his novel redshirts last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/155">TS</a>]

00:02:37   year and he's back with this interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/157">TS</a>]

00:02:40   experiment of a serialize novel the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/160">TS</a>]

00:02:44   human division set in the same world as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/164">TS</a>]

00:02:48   his most i would say that we the thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/168">TS</a>]

00:02:51   that made him well known the old man's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/171">TS</a>]

00:02:53   war University wrote he wrote four [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/173">TS</a>]

00:02:56   novels in that universe and and he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/176">TS</a>]

00:02:59   back with these tales of humans in a in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/179">TS</a>]

00:03:03   a big wide world or galaxy full of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/183">TS</a>]

00:03:06   different aliens many of whom are quite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/186">TS</a>]

00:03:08   threatening to the humans so for my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/188">TS</a>]

00:03:10   first question for you guys is how did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/190">TS</a>]

00:03:12   you read this did you read it in an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/192">TS</a>]

00:03:14   installment basis every week [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/194">TS</a>]

00:03:17   did you save them up and read them in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/197">TS</a>]

00:03:19   couple of bursts or did you wait for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/199">TS</a>]

00:03:21   for it to be a novel and read it as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/201">TS</a>]

00:03:23   whole I i kinda win some of the middle I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/203">TS</a>]

00:03:27   i would read a couple of them like when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/207">TS</a>]

00:03:29   they came out i think i read the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/209">TS</a>]

00:03:31   since I i pre-ordered it so you got a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/211">TS</a>]

00:03:33   initial installment which was released [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/213">TS</a>]

00:03:35   later for everybody else who bought the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/215">TS</a>]

00:03:37   whole thing that after the coup which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/217">TS</a>]

00:03:39   sort of like a prologue and so I read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/219">TS</a>]

00:03:41   that and then like months later when the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/221">TS</a>]

00:03:43   human division start to come out i would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/223">TS</a>]

00:03:45   read like 10 maybe one or two and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/225">TS</a>]

00:03:47   I'll probably forget for a couple weeks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/227">TS</a>]

00:03:49   and then sometimes every two or three to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/229">TS</a>]

00:03:51   stretch depending on I mean they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/231">TS</a>]

00:03:52   very long right so you can get away with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/232">TS</a>]

00:03:54   that right after the coup was was kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/234">TS</a>]

00:03:57   of like the prequel it was just a short [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/237">TS</a>]

00:03:59   story set in this world of old man's war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/239">TS</a>]

00:04:02   right it's a little bit longer than the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/242">TS</a>]

00:04:04   average but it turns out it it turns out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/244">TS</a>]

00:04:07   that those are characters that he picks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/247">TS</a>]

00:04:08   up and uses to in in most of the human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/248">TS</a>]

00:04:11   division right and at least one Harry is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/251">TS</a>]

00:04:14   is from earlier novels in this series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/254">TS</a>]

00:04:17   he's really a supporting character in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/257">TS</a>]

00:04:19   them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/259">TS</a>]

00:04:20   yes I I kinda was somewhere in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/260">TS</a>]

00:04:21   middle there which means that every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/261">TS</a>]

00:04:23   couple weeks when I would pick up the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/263">TS</a>]

00:04:24   next installment i would think what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/264">TS</a>]

00:04:26   happened in the last installment they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/266">TS</a>]

00:04:28   need a previously on the human division [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/268">TS</a>]

00:04:30   right Scott what about you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/270">TS</a>]

00:04:33   I was interested in reading it as it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/273">TS</a>]

00:04:38   came out but i found it annoying it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/278">TS</a>]

00:04:41   didn't happen i found it annoying that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/281">TS</a>]

00:04:42   had to buy them separately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/282">TS</a>]

00:04:44   so I didn't do that and I waited until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/284">TS</a>]

00:04:46   they were all together so I could read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/286">TS</a>]

00:04:48   it in one fell swoop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/288">TS</a>]

00:04:50   I know I wanted to subscribe to it and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/290">TS</a>]

00:04:52   Amazon seem to just be incapable of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/292">TS</a>]

00:04:54   as a concept [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/294">TS</a>]

00:04:55   well no so amazon has something called [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/295">TS</a>]

00:04:57   kindle cereals which is exactly this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/297">TS</a>]

00:05:00   idea that you subscribe to this like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/300">TS</a>]

00:05:02   book and you get chapters automatically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/302">TS</a>]

00:05:04   delivered the only problem with that of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/304">TS</a>]

00:05:06   course is that Amazon then says if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/306">TS</a>]

00:05:08   you're going to participate in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/308">TS</a>]

00:05:09   serials you can't sell it anywhere else [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/309">TS</a>]

00:05:12   yeah i think i think they also can't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/312">TS</a>]

00:05:13   they can't set the price anything other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/313">TS</a>]

00:05:15   than like 199 or some ridiculously low [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/315">TS</a>]

00:05:18   price too so they they were never going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/318">TS</a>]

00:05:20   to do that and so instead you had to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/320">TS</a>]

00:05:22   order pre-order every order when it came [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/322">TS</a>]

00:05:25   out every one of the thirteen chapters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/325">TS</a>]

00:05:28   which I did what I thought was really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/328">TS</a>]

00:05:30   stupid be great if we're living in an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/330">TS</a>]

00:05:32   age when computers manage these things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/332">TS</a>]

00:05:34   for its strange Glenn so how did you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/334">TS</a>]

00:05:36   read this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/336">TS</a>]

00:05:37   well I got confused because Oh Glenn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/337">TS</a>]

00:05:40   it's a good to have you back you can see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/340">TS</a>]

00:05:42   you can stop there Glenn it's cool i we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/342">TS</a>]

00:05:45   gave it away so long this this world of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/345">TS</a>]

00:05:47   yours so confusing after visiting other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/347">TS</a>]

00:05:50   blends the red two of the old man's word [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/350">TS</a>]

00:05:54   for books in that University first two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/354">TS</a>]

00:05:57   and this came up for the book club so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/357">TS</a>]

00:05:59   like a human division and it was already [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/359">TS</a>]

00:06:00   completely out because I've had this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/360">TS</a>]

00:06:02   kind of amnesia that goes with working [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/362">TS</a>]

00:06:04   ridiculously hard for months at a time I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/364">TS</a>]

00:06:06   completely missed the fact this was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/366">TS</a>]

00:06:07   published as as a serial so I read it as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/367">TS</a>]

00:06:11   a straightforward thing I thought gosh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/371">TS</a>]

00:06:13   this book is episodic but i kinda liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/373">TS</a>]

00:06:15   it and I thought oh this is great like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/375">TS</a>]

00:06:18   he's simulating the notion of releasing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/378">TS</a>]

00:06:19   stories one at a time that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/379">TS</a>]

00:06:21   self-contained and have a kind of you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/381">TS</a>]

00:06:23   know cereal old movie narrative with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/383">TS</a>]

00:06:26   ridiculous daring do and i kind of i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/386">TS</a>]

00:06:28   read it differently like this was an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/388">TS</a>]

00:06:29   experiment as a book and then I get to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/389">TS</a>]

00:06:31   the end of like how but you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/391">TS</a>]

00:06:33   didn't actually it spoil my enjoyment of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/393">TS</a>]

00:06:35   the stories reading them all at once and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/395">TS</a>]

00:06:36   not actually understanding they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/396">TS</a>]

00:06:38   intended to be released that way I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/398">TS</a>]

00:06:40   thought it was a really great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/400">TS</a>]

00:06:41   exploration of the form even without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/401">TS</a>]

00:06:43   knowing it was released in pieces over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/403">TS</a>]

00:06:45   four months that's very interesting to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/405">TS</a>]

00:06:47   me because I read his blog and follow me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/407">TS</a>]

00:06:49   on Twitter and it's like I was not it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/409">TS</a>]

00:06:50   was like human division like 24-7 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/410">TS</a>]

00:06:52   perfectly for like three months that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/412">TS</a>]

00:06:54   it's interesting because I think to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/414">TS</a>]

00:06:57   collinsport [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/417">TS</a>]

00:06:57   and you know you can read Dickens and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/417">TS</a>]

00:06:59   you don't need to know the Dickens was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/419">TS</a>]

00:07:01   writing those things in a serialize with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/421">TS</a>]

00:07:04   newspaper but it does it just say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/424">TS</a>]

00:07:06   something about the form i I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/426">TS</a>]

00:07:08   fascinated by this experiment i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/428">TS</a>]

00:07:10   it's i think it's a great thing that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/430">TS</a>]

00:07:12   tried this I mean the this is similar to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/432">TS</a>]

00:07:17   the people talking about there's this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/437">TS</a>]

00:07:18   debate about whether you binge watch TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/438">TS</a>]

00:07:21   episodes right or whether you watch them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/441">TS</a>]

00:07:23   one at a time and and whether a show is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/443">TS</a>]

00:07:26   actually better stretched out over long [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/446">TS</a>]

00:07:28   periods of time or whether it's better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/448">TS</a>]

00:07:29   in the short bursts and I I don't think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/449">TS</a>]

00:07:32   there's one right answer and in the case [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/452">TS</a>]

00:07:35   of hands on the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/455">TS</a>]

00:07:36   yeah well and i was thinking i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/456">TS</a>]

00:07:38   talking to somebody was watching lost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/458">TS</a>]

00:07:39   and I said it's one of my favorite shows [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/459">TS</a>]

00:07:43   I think it's great i think you might [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/463">TS</a>]

00:07:44   actually like it better because one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/464">TS</a>]

00:07:45   the big frustrations when people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/465">TS</a>]

00:07:46   watching it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/466">TS</a>]

00:07:47   yeah people complain about like they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/467">TS</a>]

00:07:49   didn't answer my questions and all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/469">TS</a>]

00:07:50   but i think a lot of that was caught up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/470">TS</a>]

00:07:52   in this you know that the show would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/472">TS</a>]

00:07:53   on and then it would be gone for months [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/473">TS</a>]

00:07:55   and then it would be on again for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/475">TS</a>]

00:07:56   little bit minutes gone for another you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/476">TS</a>]

00:07:58   know eight months and and if you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/478">TS</a>]

00:08:00   just keep on going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/480">TS</a>]

00:08:02   it's a little less frustrating at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/482">TS</a>]

00:08:04   same time it can kind of be exhausting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/484">TS</a>]

00:08:06   so this was this was interesting in in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/486">TS</a>]

00:08:09   that he tried to pace it out and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/489">TS</a>]

00:08:10   although he sold up front because I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/490">TS</a>]

00:08:12   read him on his blog and read him on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/492">TS</a>]

00:08:14   Twitter to he sold it is like a TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/494">TS</a>]

00:08:16   series and I think that's false i I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/496">TS</a>]

00:08:19   don't think you can call this a TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/499">TS</a>]

00:08:20   series because a TV series doesn't just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/500">TS</a>]

00:08:23   go away from all the main characters for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/503">TS</a>]

00:08:26   an entire episode and he did that in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/506">TS</a>]

00:08:28   this I mean it's fine but well yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/508">TS</a>]

00:08:30   they're kinda like yeah they're kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/510">TS</a>]

00:08:32   like those like one-off episode I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/512">TS</a>]

00:08:35   it's hard because if you look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/515">TS</a>]

00:08:36   something like Game of Thrones or the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/516">TS</a>]

00:08:38   wire there are episodes in which major [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/518">TS</a>]

00:08:42   characters do not appear but you always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/522">TS</a>]

00:08:44   do have some sort of anchor right some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/524">TS</a>]

00:08:46   of your characters are there yes right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/526">TS</a>]

00:08:48   and these we really do just walk away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/528">TS</a>]

00:08:50   from the main characters or their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/530">TS</a>]

00:08:51   mentioned or something like that which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/531">TS</a>]

00:08:53   is a little strange from the perspective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/533">TS</a>]

00:08:55   of a TV series but I mean there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/535">TS</a>]

00:08:57   ontology series to write like you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/537">TS</a>]

00:08:59   you think of something like I mean get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/539">TS</a>]

00:09:01   those tend to be even more decentralized [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/541">TS</a>]

00:09:03   if you think about something like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/543">TS</a>]

00:09:04   Twilight Zone er yeah there's no there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/544">TS</a>]

00:09:06   no through-line image anthology series i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/546">TS</a>]

00:09:08   just i thought it was a little bit of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/548">TS</a>]

00:09:09   myth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/549">TS</a>]

00:09:10   miss statement about what he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/550">TS</a>]

00:09:12   actually doing here but what's funny is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/552">TS</a>]

00:09:15   you know people will talk about this as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/555">TS</a>]

00:09:16   it was coming out and I did read it as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/556">TS</a>]

00:09:18   it was coming week by week and people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/558">TS</a>]

00:09:20   would get frustrated when the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/560">TS</a>]

00:09:22   installment of that week didn't directly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/562">TS</a>]

00:09:24   pick up on what had happened before I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/564">TS</a>]

00:09:28   actually kinda found it kind of fun I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/568">TS</a>]

00:09:30   like i said i thought it was sort of he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/570">TS</a>]

00:09:32   shouldn't have said it was like a TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/572">TS</a>]

00:09:33   series we're literally every episode is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/573">TS</a>]

00:09:35   going to be our little friends on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/575">TS</a>]

00:09:36   spaceship get into trouble which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/576">TS</a>]

00:09:38   certainly what he was setting up in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/578">TS</a>]

00:09:39   first couple of chapters but i liked a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/579">TS</a>]

00:09:42   lot of the diversions and I like seeing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/582">TS</a>]

00:09:44   how it obviously fed into the main story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/584">TS</a>]

00:09:46   and I i kinda like the episodic nature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/586">TS</a>]

00:09:51   of it in a you know it was it was fun to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/591">TS</a>]

00:09:53   have that experience and to have those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/593">TS</a>]

00:09:55   cliffhangers where I really did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/595">TS</a>]

00:09:56   experience this novel / 12 or 13 weeks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/596">TS</a>]

00:10:00   instead of in you know a week or so of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/600">TS</a>]

00:10:02   reading it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/602">TS</a>]

00:10:03   yeah it's a I mean I love serialize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/603">TS</a>]

00:10:05   stuff i mean Jason of course you read a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/605">TS</a>]

00:10:07   lot comic books which have a similar [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/607">TS</a>]

00:10:09   sort of going on right so I think I the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/609">TS</a>]

00:10:13   thing I like about something like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/613">TS</a>]

00:10:14   serialize story when it comes to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/614">TS</a>]

00:10:16   television or comic books is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/616">TS</a>]

00:10:17   there's often a sense and this is true [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/617">TS</a>]

00:10:19   too in like longer book series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/619">TS</a>]

00:10:22   there's a sense of rewarding the reader [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/622">TS</a>]

00:10:24   you know over a long period of time so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/624">TS</a>]

00:10:27   you know you watch a TV show and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/627">TS</a>]

00:10:29   like something mentioned in the episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/629">TS</a>]

00:10:31   1 and it comes back you know it in like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/631">TS</a>]

00:10:34   episode 12 and you feel like a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/634">TS</a>]

00:10:36   bit of like oh yeah I noticed that like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/636">TS</a>]

00:10:38   oh good they got back to that right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/638">TS</a>]

00:10:39   and then that was the thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/639">TS</a>]

00:10:40   frustrated so many people about lost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/640">TS</a>]

00:10:41   they feel like ants were dropped and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/641">TS</a>]

00:10:43   never picked up again so I like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/643">TS</a>]

00:10:46   there's in some ways even though this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/646">TS</a>]

00:10:47   was released episodically there no i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/647">TS</a>]

00:10:51   didn't feel like there was a maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/651">TS</a>]

00:10:52   enough of that although it's hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/652">TS</a>]

00:10:53   tell because you know I think maybe if I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/653">TS</a>]

00:10:56   went back and read it all now straight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/656">TS</a>]

00:10:57   through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/657">TS</a>]

00:10:58   I would pick up on things that had been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/658">TS</a>]

00:11:00   you know for sure earlier and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/660">TS</a>]

00:11:01   definitely some stuff that like alludes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/661">TS</a>]

00:11:03   to things you know there's clearly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/663">TS</a>]

00:11:04   foreshadowing knows what he's doing but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/664">TS</a>]

00:11:07   it's it's such a different scope because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/667">TS</a>]

00:11:09   it's almost more like a miniseries right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/669">TS</a>]

00:11:11   now Glenn said that he picked up on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/671">TS</a>]

00:11:13   episodic nature of that I was going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/673">TS</a>]

00:11:14   ask that question of if you read this as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/674">TS</a>]

00:11:16   a novel not realizing how it originally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/676">TS</a>]

00:11:19   been published [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/679">TS</a>]

00:11:19   would you would you notice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/679">TS</a>]

00:11:21   well let me speak to that hypothetically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/681">TS</a>]

00:11:23   from a practical standpoint [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/683">TS</a>]

00:11:25   yeah I i think it held together for me I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/685">TS</a>]

00:11:29   mean I got somewhere through it i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/689">TS</a>]

00:11:30   honestly didn't look it up and wonder I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/690">TS</a>]

00:11:32   thought scalzi likes to play with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/692">TS</a>]

00:11:34   form of the novel and I actually thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/694">TS</a>]

00:11:36   at some point this was going to be a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/696">TS</a>]

00:11:38   little red shirt be because the stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/698">TS</a>]

00:11:40   that happens at points is so ludicrous [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/700">TS</a>]

00:11:42   and it's always you know it's always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/702">TS</a>]

00:11:44   Harry is the left at the last second the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/704">TS</a>]

00:11:48   timer counts down and then the ship [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/708">TS</a>]

00:11:50   blows a hatch he grabs the hatch and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/710">TS</a>]

00:11:52   manages to ride it you know that kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/712">TS</a>]

00:11:54   thing is like the the improbable miss of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/714">TS</a>]

00:11:56   the MacGyver ish whatever all comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/716">TS</a>]

00:11:58   together in every episode so I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/718">TS</a>]

00:12:00   at some level maybe he was going to show [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/720">TS</a>]

00:12:02   that there was a manipulation going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/722">TS</a>]

00:12:04   that was causing this kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/724">TS</a>]

00:12:06   ridiculousness to happen I realize now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/726">TS</a>]

00:12:08   these aren't the meta books this is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/728">TS</a>]

00:12:10   the way it's set up and stuff keeps [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/730">TS</a>]

00:12:12   happening these guys and they have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/732">TS</a>]

00:12:13   roll with the punches of sometimes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/733">TS</a>]

00:12:15   really ridiculous plot elements but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/735">TS</a>]

00:12:17   because its colors you get deeper than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/737">TS</a>]

00:12:20   just the you know oh no here's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/740">TS</a>]

00:12:22   mechanism you have to defeat and thats [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/742">TS</a>]

00:12:24   it's like now there's this big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/744">TS</a>]

00:12:25   conspiracy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/745">TS</a>]

00:12:26   there's arch there's these well-drawn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/746">TS</a>]

00:12:29   characters in some cases in some of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/749">TS</a>]

00:12:31   are very thin but also some very well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/751">TS</a>]

00:12:33   drawn ones and I felt there was enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/753">TS</a>]

00:12:35   of a through line for me I felt it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/755">TS</a>]

00:12:37   more like episodes of Star Trek if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/757">TS</a>]

00:12:38   anything you know and I was thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/758">TS</a>]

00:12:40   that's we're talking talking earlier [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/760">TS</a>]

00:12:42   there is the episode does conspiracy how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/762">TS</a>]

00:12:45   to go look this up the 25th episode of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/765">TS</a>]

00:12:48   season [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/768">TS</a>]

00:12:49   whatever and looked up here where it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/769">TS</a>]

00:12:53   turns out that there's a conspiracy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/773">TS</a>]

00:12:55   I animation it's aliens have inhabited [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/775">TS</a>]

00:12:57   in Seattle right and then it's never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/777">TS</a>]

00:12:59   followed up on ever again as Star Trek [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/779">TS</a>]

00:13:02   The Next Generation yeah and I felt [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/782">TS</a>]

00:13:04   there was a little element of that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/784">TS</a>]

00:13:06   there was sort of almost too much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/786">TS</a>]

00:13:08   mystery there were too many things going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/788">TS</a>]

00:13:09   on there are too many sinister forces [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/789">TS</a>]

00:13:12   but i thought this is kind of the nature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/792">TS</a>]

00:13:14   of something that felt episodic and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/794">TS</a>]

00:13:16   turned out was designed that way is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/796">TS</a>]

00:13:17   you want to have these things that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/797">TS</a>]

00:13:19   bigger than the story because if they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/799">TS</a>]

00:13:21   within the story than you're done that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/801">TS</a>]

00:13:23   you have to invent the next thing for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/803">TS</a>]

00:13:24   the next story instead having a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/804">TS</a>]

00:13:26   far-ranging inexplicable mysterious and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/806">TS</a>]

00:13:29   even improbable conspiracy is a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/809">TS</a>]

00:13:31   backdrop on twitch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/811">TS</a>]

00:13:33   set all these different plot elements [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/813">TS</a>]

00:13:35   emotion yeah the only difference between [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/815">TS</a>]

00:13:37   this in an episode of Star Trek is like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/817">TS</a>]

00:13:39   I said you wouldn't have a whole episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/819">TS</a>]

00:13:41   of Star Trek that just involves the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/821">TS</a>]

00:13:42   people all of whom are basically going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/822">TS</a>]

00:13:44   to die down on a planet somewhere or the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/824">TS</a>]

00:13:47   radio talk show host basically honor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/827">TS</a>]

00:13:50   those are those are cutaways but they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/830">TS</a>]

00:13:53   here they're there were entire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/833">TS</a>]

00:13:54   installment so in a novel i would just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/834">TS</a>]

00:13:56   be like all right I can read the next [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/836">TS</a>]

00:13:57   chapter or not in installments you you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/837">TS</a>]

00:14:00   have that was like that's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/840">TS</a>]

00:14:01   I don't get to see my friends this week [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/841">TS</a>]

00:14:03   it just it was a different feeling Scott [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/843">TS</a>]

00:14:05   with how did you feel it held together [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/845">TS</a>]

00:14:08   as a novel versus a series of episodes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/848">TS</a>]

00:14:11   uh well III think that certainly each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/851">TS</a>]

00:14:15   episode each chapter was named in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/855">TS</a>]

00:14:17   episode so that's a good tip off if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/857">TS</a>]

00:14:19   are not aware of material nature of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/859">TS</a>]

00:14:23   book but I think overall it helped thank [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/863">TS</a>]

00:14:26   you i mean i think scalzi is at his best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/866">TS</a>]

00:14:30   in this universe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/870">TS</a>]

00:14:32   I think he becomes no I saw him speak [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/872">TS</a>]

00:14:35   once and he talked about how he likes to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/875">TS</a>]

00:14:39   write dialogue and he thinks he's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/879">TS</a>]

00:14:40   good at it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/880">TS</a>]

00:14:41   I wish I agree with him he writes very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/881">TS</a>]

00:14:43   funny snappy dialogue and he's less good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/883">TS</a>]

00:14:45   at writing descriptions of things which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/885">TS</a>]

00:14:48   i always find interesting thinking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/888">TS</a>]

00:14:49   that as i'm reading his books because he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/889">TS</a>]

00:14:52   introduces all these aliens and he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/892">TS</a>]

00:14:54   hardly ever really describes what they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/894">TS</a>]

00:14:57   look like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/897">TS</a>]

00:14:58   which i think is effective because the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/898">TS</a>]

00:15:00   reader's imagination can just fill in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/900">TS</a>]

00:15:02   the blanks of what these outrageous [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/902">TS</a>]

00:15:04   aliens are he gives you just enough to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/904">TS</a>]

00:15:07   say like it's the size of a dog and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/907">TS</a>]

00:15:09   looks like a mantis and then he just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/909">TS</a>]

00:15:10   walks away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/910">TS</a>]

00:15:11   I got asked them to because I now i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/911">TS</a>]

00:15:13   curious so there's a heightened I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/913">TS</a>]

00:15:15   gonna butcher than her name hefty so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/915">TS</a>]

00:15:17   valla I want to know how you get to me I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/917">TS</a>]

00:15:20   picture her having she's like the legs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   of like big bird and then but like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/922">TS</a>]

00:15:24   turning into like the roadrunner at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/924">TS</a>]

00:15:26   top that's just the image in my head a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/926">TS</a>]

00:15:28   picture like Aunt beast from from her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/928">TS</a>]

00:15:31   mother going time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/931">TS</a>]

00:15:32   yeah sort of because she's kind of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/932">TS</a>]

00:15:33   monster but she doesn't necessarily you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/933">TS</a>]

00:15:36   know she's very nice but looks like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/936">TS</a>]

00:15:38   monster [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/938">TS</a>]

00:15:38   exactly that is a great that last little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/938">TS</a>]

00:15:41   extra story that was apparently not part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/941">TS</a>]

00:15:43   of the serialization have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/943">TS</a>]

00:15:44   overall it's a churro and speaks to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/944">TS</a>]

00:15:46   youth of today actually had me in tears [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/946">TS</a>]

00:15:48   it's Abby I'm like I want to spin off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/948">TS</a>]

00:15:50   series with her because he painted her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/950">TS</a>]

00:15:52   in such a rich way that almost nobody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/952">TS</a>]

00:15:55   else in the whole series gets that much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/955">TS</a>]

00:15:58   attention [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/958">TS</a>]

00:15:59   it's it's you know they're yeah i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/959">TS</a>]

00:16:02   what you said earlier about there being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/962">TS</a>]

00:16:03   some well-drawn characters and some not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/963">TS</a>]

00:16:05   so well-drawn characters I I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/965">TS</a>]

00:16:07   you've got your main characters who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/967">TS</a>]

00:16:09   the the the two guys was Harry Wilson [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/969">TS</a>]

00:16:13   and heart and hard right hard Schmidt it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/973">TS</a>]

00:16:16   and there and there your and we get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/976">TS</a>]

00:16:20   episode where he goes back to richmond [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/980">TS</a>]

00:16:22   goes back to his is there like your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/982">TS</a>]

00:16:23   buddy cops [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/983">TS</a>]

00:16:25   yeah yeah and then and then you've got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/985">TS</a>]

00:16:26   your kind of like trope characters your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/986">TS</a>]

00:16:28   your you know growth ambassador and your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/988">TS</a>]

00:16:32   kind of honorable captain who doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/992">TS</a>]

00:16:35   want don't break the ship kinda and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/995">TS</a>]

00:16:37   break the ship that totally break the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/997">TS</a>]

00:16:39   shit like it like in every episode they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/999">TS</a>]

00:16:41   break this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:41   yeah exactly and and so it's kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1001">TS</a>]

00:16:44   like you know you've got your ensemble [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1004">TS</a>]

00:16:46   and you get your main characters and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1006">TS</a>]

00:16:47   then you've got your ensemble and you've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1007">TS</a>]

00:16:49   got sort of a breakout character in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1009">TS</a>]

00:16:50   something like like like a hottie sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:52   of all who is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1012">TS</a>]

00:16:54   you know alien day that they deal with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1014">TS</a>]

00:16:56   and Scott I think you're exactly right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1016">TS</a>]

00:16:59   this is it was so refreshing for me to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:02   see skulls be back playing in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:04   universe because he it is he does a good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1024">TS</a>]

00:17:07   job at it and it's funny we cut it kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1027">TS</a>]

00:17:09   of criticized him a little bit in red [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1029">TS</a>]

00:17:11   shirts for wondering if he was pandering [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1031">TS</a>]

00:17:12   a little bit too much too kind of nerd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:14   culture and and here you could also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1034">TS</a>]

00:17:16   argue that he's retreating into this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1036">TS</a>]

00:17:18   familiar universe that he's built but at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1038">TS</a>]

00:17:20   the same time he's built its rich it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1040">TS</a>]

00:17:23   got a lot of depth and really that first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1043">TS</a>]

00:17:25   set of books didn't have a fermenting it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1045">TS</a>]

00:17:29   was more like the climax of that part of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1049">TS</a>]

00:17:32   the other like act 1 of this story i'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1052">TS</a>]

00:17:34   set up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1054">TS</a>]

00:17:35   yeah whereas i mean in that the human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:37   division is sort of a second act because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:39   it two ends on a you know is anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1059">TS</a>]

00:17:43   really resolved so you know how you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1063">TS</a>]

00:17:45   toward the end of a book or like 40 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:47   minutes into a TV show and you're like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1067">TS</a>]

00:17:48   they're this can't be wrapped itself so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1068">TS</a>]

00:17:51   instead it was week 11 and i finished [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1071">TS</a>]

00:17:53   week 11 and I think he's not going he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:57   in this he it's not how many first i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1077">TS</a>]

00:17:59   went to the website was like how many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1079">TS</a>]

00:18:00   chapters other 13 huh that's not gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:04   he's not gonna end indeed although we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1084">TS</a>]

00:18:08   get sort of a climax and there's some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:10   excitement the grand mystery that has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:13   been put forth very slowly over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1093">TS</a>]

00:18:15   course of this book is not even room is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1095">TS</a>]

00:18:17   not resolved at all it's still out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1097">TS</a>]

00:18:19   so stay tuned for season two of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1099">TS</a>]

00:18:22   human division which is coming he is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1102">TS</a>]

00:18:23   going to do another book and he i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:25   is going to do it as a serial but it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1105">TS</a>]

00:18:28   a little frustrating where when i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1108">TS</a>]

00:18:29   realized i signed up because it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:31   scalzi and because i thought it was an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1111">TS</a>]

00:18:32   interesting interesting experiment not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1112">TS</a>]

00:18:34   knowing that it was going to be booked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1114">TS</a>]

00:18:36   one of the new series i guess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1116">TS</a>]

00:18:39   well and I mean it's like a television [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:41   show in that way right like you get to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1121">TS</a>]

00:18:42   the end of the first season and you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1122">TS</a>]

00:18:43   like well but there's usually that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1123">TS</a>]

00:18:46   funny there's usually a better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1126">TS</a>]

00:18:47   there's a cliffhanger is often a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1127">TS</a>]

00:18:49   resolution like usually they have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1129">TS</a>]

00:18:50   solve one problem introduce more or like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1130">TS</a>]

00:18:53   there has to be some Ark that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1133">TS</a>]

00:18:54   completed I don't feel like there's art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1134">TS</a>]

00:18:56   that's completed you got to this point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1136">TS</a>]

00:18:57   where it's you know it's the anti didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1137">TS</a>]

00:19:00   do mall or something it's like you're at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:02   the the crux of something really big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1142">TS</a>]

00:19:05   happening we get some resolution so it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1145">TS</a>]

00:19:07   like what will happen to our heroes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1147">TS</a>]

00:19:09   after they plunge through the atmosphere [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1149">TS</a>]

00:19:10   to earth earth stations destroyed and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1150">TS</a>]

00:19:13   it's like all right well but but we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:14   don't have any resolution at all yet why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1154">TS</a>]

00:19:17   they mean the question of Earth and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1157">TS</a>]

00:19:18   going to earth as being the big build-up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:21   I mean I felt I felt like that was good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1161">TS</a>]

00:19:23   but you're right it wasn't it didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1163">TS</a>]

00:19:25   actually resolve a lot of the questions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:26   set out it was something came out like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1166">TS</a>]

00:19:29   there was some clues like oh the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1169">TS</a>]

00:19:31   conspiracy actually involves but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1171">TS</a>]

00:19:33   wing and then set up but that's not that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1173">TS</a>]

00:19:36   can't be the whole story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1176">TS</a>]

00:19:37   it just felt like it I'm it's sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1177">TS</a>]

00:19:39   catalytic it's a season-ending it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:41   season-ending cliffhanger is what we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1181">TS</a>]

00:19:43   have but if you think it i don't feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1183">TS</a>]

00:19:44   like we got enough in the whole arc [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1184">TS</a>]

00:19:45   because the whole like the whole setup [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1185">TS</a>]

00:19:48   was all these mysterious things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1188">TS</a>]

00:19:50   happening the connections that they make [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1190">TS</a>]

00:19:52   between them as super observers he gave [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1192">TS</a>]

00:19:53   us a little too much knowledge about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1193">TS</a>]

00:19:55   connections he didn't withhold enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1195">TS</a>]

00:19:56   from us so it was obvious early on that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1196">TS</a>]

00:19:59   was connections between all these things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1199">TS</a>]

00:20:00   we saw ships be blown up from a position [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1200">TS</a>]

00:20:02   that none of the main characters could [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:04   see so I don't know I felt like this was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1204">TS</a>]

00:20:06   two-thirds of the arc and we should've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1206">TS</a>]

00:20:08   gotten more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1208">TS</a>]

00:20:08   without the resolution itself had a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1208">TS</a>]

00:20:10   cliffhanger but felt like there was some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1210">TS</a>]

00:20:12   sense of partial completion and then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1212">TS</a>]

00:20:14   bigger our quick arias on he does a nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1214">TS</a>]

00:20:17   job with like Scott's and he's got a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:21   dialogue he has a good sense of humor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1221">TS</a>]

00:20:22   and I like how he has a good sense of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1222">TS</a>]

00:20:26   how to pair sense of humor with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1226">TS</a>]

00:20:30   sci-fi action in a way that if the humor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1230">TS</a>]

00:20:34   wasn't there it would seem really kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1234">TS</a>]

00:20:36   of cliche and like I said we've seen all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1236">TS</a>]

00:20:37   of these these tricks before but because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1237">TS</a>]

00:20:40   he's got these it kind of amusing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1240">TS</a>]

00:20:42   characters and they're funny and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1242">TS</a>]

00:20:44   they they know that they're in these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1244">TS</a>]

00:20:45   ridiculous situations it doesn't come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1245">TS</a>]

00:20:47   across as a comedy but it becomes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1247">TS</a>]

00:20:48   enjoyable and then when there is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1248">TS</a>]

00:20:50   moment of of action like in the climax [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1250">TS</a>]

00:20:53   here where there's the space station [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1253">TS</a>]

00:20:54   that's going to be destroyed in there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1254">TS</a>]

00:20:55   then you know they end up having to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1255">TS</a>]

00:20:57   clever in order to go out into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1257">TS</a>]

00:20:59   vacuum and end up down on planet earth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:02   and there are cows and there are some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1262">TS</a>]

00:21:04   jokes and I mean there's lots of that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1264">TS</a>]

00:21:06   you know it works I i think that's what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1266">TS</a>]

00:21:08   what it's like his secret sauce is he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:10   got some he's got the jokes and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1270">TS</a>]

00:21:12   he's got a real mastery of these space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1272">TS</a>]

00:21:15   opera kind of gambits and he puts them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1275">TS</a>]

00:21:18   together in a way that's a pleasant III [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1278">TS</a>]

00:21:20   this is the kind of Island this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1280">TS</a>]

00:21:22   kind of book that I is like comfort food [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1282">TS</a>]

00:21:24   to me because this is like I don't find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1284">TS</a>]

00:21:27   it particularly challenging but it's so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:29   enjoyable to go on an adventure like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1289">TS</a>]

00:21:32   this with somebody who's very good at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1292">TS</a>]

00:21:34   telling these stories i always think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1294">TS</a>]

00:21:36   this in my head is classified under the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:38   ripping good yarn kind of tale is I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1298">TS</a>]

00:21:41   think that the way I always describe my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:43   head it's it's an adventure right it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1303">TS</a>]

00:21:44   almost it's almost pulpy like in its you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:47   know space hero thing but you know I i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:49   agree that that the the sort of levity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1309">TS</a>]

00:21:53   in it does a good job of keeping it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1313">TS</a>]

00:21:55   thinks you know it feels to me like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1315">TS</a>]

00:22:09   like that show people get murdered but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1329">TS</a>]

00:22:11   the right like but the thing that keeps [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1331">TS</a>]

00:22:12   us going back is that the protagonist is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1332">TS</a>]

00:22:14   kind of charming and there's good like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1334">TS</a>]

00:22:15   banter you know and it's and it's a more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1335">TS</a>]

00:22:18   than a crime procedural it's it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1338">TS</a>]

00:22:20   comic or at least light-hearted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1340">TS</a>]

00:22:33   know you're not too worried about that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1353">TS</a>]

00:22:34   although they do have the whole episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1354">TS</a>]

00:22:37   where we're hard Schmidt goes back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1357">TS</a>]

00:22:39   his family and we get to know them all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1359">TS</a>]

00:22:40   and and reading that episodically I kept [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1360">TS</a>]

00:22:43   thinking we're spending a lot of time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1363">TS</a>]

00:22:46   are they gonna kill him right away [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:48   because that's what it felt like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1368">TS</a>]

00:22:50   and indeed he's immediately put in grave [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1370">TS</a>]

00:22:52   jeopardy and I kept waiting for him to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1372">TS</a>]

00:22:53   die and he didn't know they put too much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:55   but too much information about him to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1375">TS</a>]

00:24:19   transfer people's knowledge from one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1459">TS</a>]

00:24:23   body to another so this is actually sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1463">TS</a>]

00:24:25   of your technology like oh it started [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1465">TS</a>]

00:24:29   of seemed like wait you know this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1469">TS</a>]

00:24:31   something that humans can do are kinda [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:33   creepy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:34   it's one of the things that i like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1474">TS</a>]

00:24:36   is that doesn't really affect chapter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1476">TS</a>]

00:24:38   where the one of the best i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1478">TS</a>]

00:24:39   because it has that humor and then you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1479">TS</a>]

00:24:41   go to report it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:43   yeah I also actually like the like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1483">TS</a>]

00:24:45   little cut away on the planet where they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1485">TS</a>]

00:24:47   they they were the rogue colony and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1487">TS</a>]

00:24:49   there they realized that something has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1489">TS</a>]

00:24:50   gone horribly wrong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:52   the the the overall plot here one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1492">TS</a>]

00:24:55   things I like about it is that in a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1495">TS</a>]

00:24:57   of the space opera sort of stories you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1497">TS</a>]

00:24:59   end up with you know it's humans vs [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1499">TS</a>]

00:25:02   aliens right that's that's what is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1502">TS</a>]

00:25:04   only it's a big bad universe out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1504">TS</a>]

00:25:05   and in this case the the politics is is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:08   quite different there there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1508">TS</a>]

00:25:09   Conclave and then there's the earth the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1509">TS</a>]

00:25:12   one day that it's not the Earth Alliance [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1512">TS</a>]

00:25:14   it's the colonial Union colonial Union [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1514">TS</a>]

00:25:18   right okay so but then there's earth and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1518">TS</a>]

00:25:20   earth is not it's on the outs with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1520">TS</a>]

00:25:23   colonial Union's you have this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1523">TS</a>]

00:25:24   interesting dynamic where the fate of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1524">TS</a>]

00:25:27   humanity may not rest in the balance the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1527">TS</a>]

00:25:29   fate of the political construct of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1529">TS</a>]

00:25:32   of the union may hang in the balance but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1532">TS</a>]

00:25:36   the humanity may be fine and so you've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1536">TS</a>]

00:25:38   got kind of humanity is not a monolithic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1538">TS</a>]

00:25:40   entity and aliens are maneuvering about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1540">TS</a>]

00:25:43   you know should we should hook up with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1543">TS</a>]

00:25:45   these guys are these guys and then and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:48   behind it all is this question about are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1548">TS</a>]

00:25:50   these attacks coming from humans to and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:52   what's the political motivation and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1552">TS</a>]

00:25:53   like that it wasn't just a you know its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1553">TS</a>]

00:25:55   people vs. aliens thing and actually the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1555">TS</a>]

00:25:58   people you know are not necessarily all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1558">TS</a>]

00:26:01   on the same side i thought that was kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1561">TS</a>]

00:26:03   of cool and that the aliens may be on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1563">TS</a>]

00:26:04   our side there's a wonderful bit in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1564">TS</a>]

00:26:06   story at the end about a howl off buying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1566">TS</a>]

00:26:08   a truck without buying loving churros [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1568">TS</a>]

00:26:27   species and i thought was a nice little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1587">TS</a>]

00:26:29   brain be no manipulation there you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1589">TS</a>]

00:26:31   back and forth between those images [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1591">TS</a>]

00:26:33   Scott what did you think of a human [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1593">TS</a>]

00:26:35   division overall I thought it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1595">TS</a>]

00:26:39   enjoyable I mean it's a quick light [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1599">TS</a>]

00:26:41   reading especially if it isn't stretched [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1601">TS</a>]

00:26:43   over 13 weeks yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1603">TS</a>]

00:26:45   reading in one lump i read it and like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1605">TS</a>]

00:26:48   you know a few hours but it was very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1608">TS</a>]

00:26:50   enjoyable uh I found the the dog king [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1610">TS</a>]

00:26:54   episode to be god-kings great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1614">TS</a>]

00:26:56   entertaining even though I knew what was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1616">TS</a>]

00:26:59   going to happen i still thought it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1619">TS</a>]

00:27:01   very entertaining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:02   he is a he has a knack for like jason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1622">TS</a>]

00:27:06   said the humor in and you know in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:08   humour and in science fiction is humor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1628">TS</a>]

00:27:11   in general is difficult to do but then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1631">TS</a>]

00:27:13   you add science fiction and it makes it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1633">TS</a>]

00:27:15   even more difficult i think all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1635">TS</a>]

00:27:17   episode was that chapter was sort of an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1637">TS</a>]

00:27:19   episode of futurama's first season but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1639">TS</a>]

00:27:21   nevermind it always comes back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1641">TS</a>]

00:27:24   involve a dog of all fried was the dog [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1644">TS</a>]

00:27:26   but still sorry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:27   overall I would say thumbs up yeah much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1647">TS</a>]

00:27:30   better than red shirts in my opinion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1650">TS</a>]

00:27:33   yeah my only my only my only quibble and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1653">TS</a>]

00:27:38   it's fairly minor was that I thought he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1658">TS</a>]

00:27:40   went back to the the smart blood well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1660">TS</a>]

00:27:43   one time too many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1663">TS</a>]

00:27:44   there's like four three or four [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1664">TS</a>]

00:27:46   different episodes in which it sits like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1666">TS</a>]

00:27:50   the deus ex machina out like don't worry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1670">TS</a>]

00:27:51   my blood is sparked I i hate his names [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1671">TS</a>]

00:27:55   for things like I like the names of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1675">TS</a>]

00:27:57   those people that like BrainPal and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1677">TS</a>]

00:27:59   smart lad our blood and accounting makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:00   a joke about BrainPal sounding stupid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1680">TS</a>]

00:28:02   and one of the chapters i think they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1682">TS</a>]

00:28:04   said at the same time that's you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1684">TS</a>]

00:28:06   that's what they named it right like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1686">TS</a>]

00:28:07   yeah yes your ipad/iphone matter if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:11   you're smiling and I think it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1691">TS</a>]

00:28:14   agree that it's kind of awkward you want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1694">TS</a>]

00:28:16   a cooler name but at the same time it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1696">TS</a>]

00:28:18   seems very realistic to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1698">TS</a>]

00:28:19   well you're probably right there the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1699">TS</a>]

00:28:21   smart blood I think he's afraid of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1701">TS</a>]

00:28:23   smart blood becoming a total deus ex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1703">TS</a>]

00:28:25   machina so he calls it out but it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1705">TS</a>]

00:28:27   still totally I mean if you don't then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1707">TS</a>]

00:28:31   it's like star trek into darkness was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:33   like well they've got this magical but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1713">TS</a>]

00:28:41   they do a lot of like wait we can use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1721">TS</a>]

00:28:43   that blood again it's so versatile [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1723">TS</a>]

00:28:47   well yeah I mean I think it would be how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:49   it had been used once or you know it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1729">TS</a>]

00:28:51   might have been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1731">TS</a>]

00:28:52   yeah i think i would be cool with it but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1732">TS</a>]

00:28:53   it does seriously I think it's you both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1733">TS</a>]

00:28:55   of the dogs episode right because that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1735">TS</a>]

00:28:57   how they save the dog [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1737">TS</a>]

00:28:58   and then in the episode with the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/1738">TS</a>]

00:34:41   bridge form very very long very good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2081">TS</a>]

00:34:43   story and it tracks the story of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2083">TS</a>]

00:34:47   woman Mary Russell who is apparently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2087">TS</a>]

00:34:48   kind of becomes a protégé of home [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2088">TS</a>]

00:34:51   she's brilliant totally brilliant and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2091">TS</a>]

00:34:57   in like that version like a number eight [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2097">TS</a>]

00:36:05   it reminds me of skulls in some way and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2165">TS</a>]

00:36:06   then it's like a good sort of adventure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2166">TS</a>]

00:36:08   story and it's one of the good series of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2168">TS</a>]

00:36:10   Star Wars novels that was written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2170">TS</a>]

00:36:12   afterward there aren't that many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2172">TS</a>]

00:36:13   features a humanoid of a different hue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2173">TS</a>]

00:36:16   as well indeed all these works [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2176">TS</a>]

00:36:18   indeed and what I i actually really like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:20   the villain in that series you but i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2180">TS</a>]

00:36:22   will say that what as i was browsing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2182">TS</a>]

00:36:23   through what caught my eye is that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2183">TS</a>]

00:36:26   the the audiobook is a narrated by Denis [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2186">TS</a>]

00:36:30   Lawson who is not only you and my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2190">TS</a>]

00:36:31   great-uncle but also plays the part of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2191">TS</a>]

00:36:33   Wedge Antilles in the Star Wars movies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2193">TS</a>]

00:36:35   and is it has a delightful Scottish [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:37   accent which is like three wins in 10 so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2197">TS</a>]

00:36:41   he he reads the abridged version and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2201">TS</a>]

00:36:44   then there's also another bridge version [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2204">TS</a>]

00:36:45   so you can take your pick is can I sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:47   by accident audible can i say i only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:49   want Scott's especially a good like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2209">TS</a>]

00:36:52   three deep Scott's I'd like that would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2212">TS</a>]

00:36:54   be a good feature I i haven't narrated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2214">TS</a>]

00:36:56   any books for audible yet or just a Scot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2216">TS</a>]

00:36:59   if somebody named Scott would do Scott [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   do you have it an audio book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:02   recommendation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:04   well I just finished the third book in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2224">TS</a>]

00:37:06   the milkweed triptych which is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2226">TS</a>]

00:37:09   alternate history basically the idea is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2229">TS</a>]

00:37:12   what if the Nazis had don't want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2232">TS</a>]

00:37:15   bring up Nazis all the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2235">TS</a>]

00:37:16   what if the Nazis had psychic super [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:19   soldiers this is this is the the entry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:21   Gillis's begin with better seats we I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2241">TS</a>]

00:37:23   think we made i mentioned this this the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2243">TS</a>]

00:37:25   first book in that series in our first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2245">TS</a>]

00:37:26   episode we may have BS Glenn I thinks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2246">TS</a>]

00:37:29   cast scorn upon it i read it well it got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2249">TS</a>]

00:37:31   worse and worse Admiral December this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2251">TS</a>]

00:37:33   equal to like the sequel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2253">TS</a>]

00:37:35   well this is the third so I read all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2255">TS</a>]

00:37:37   different i said do you remember the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2257">TS</a>]

00:37:39   sequel I do i do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2259">TS</a>]

00:37:41   they're they're good so yeah basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2261">TS</a>]

00:37:43   is the Nazis kind of second super [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2263">TS</a>]

00:37:45   soldiers and the English have a warlocks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2265">TS</a>]

00:37:48   that don't make no blood prices to these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2268">TS</a>]

00:37:53   demons to do things and it gets it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2273">TS</a>]

00:37:55   very interesting i won't ruin the third [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2275">TS</a>]

00:37:57   book is basically is probably the best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2277">TS</a>]

00:38:00   of the three and it is a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2280">TS</a>]

00:38:02   interesting perspective on it so let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2282">TS</a>]

00:38:05   start with the first start with bitter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2285">TS</a>]

00:38:06   small three honorable and you'll have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:09   buy the other two but they're worth the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2289">TS</a>]

00:38:11   money or you just stay on audible and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2291">TS</a>]

00:38:13   think you get a new book every month so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2293">TS</a>]

00:38:18   others that that's right the first ones [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2298">TS</a>]

00:38:20   free and then you keep paying and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2300">TS</a>]

00:38:21   you do you get them all over three [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2301">TS</a>]

00:38:23   months [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2303">TS</a>]

00:38:23   this is good i personally don't have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2303">TS</a>]

00:38:25   commute but I know people who do who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2305">TS</a>]

00:38:27   great consumers of this because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2307">TS</a>]

00:39:28   podcast we're going to lie soon and I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2368">TS</a>]

00:39:32   come back with them read all right so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2372">TS</a>]

00:39:34   that we're going to have that we record [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2374">TS</a>]

00:39:35   that in a few weeks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2375">TS</a>]

00:39:37   stay tuned we will be doing that but we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2377">TS</a>]

00:39:39   thought before before we do that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2379">TS</a>]

00:39:42   would we would read the short stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2382">TS</a>]

00:39:43   now some of these are available on on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2383">TS</a>]

00:39:45   the on the web and some of them aren't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2385">TS</a>]

00:39:47   linked to the ones that i can find on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2387">TS</a>]

00:39:49   the web in the show notes but we I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2389">TS</a>]

00:39:52   thought we talked about it because it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2392">TS</a>]

00:39:53   so rare that we get a chance to talk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2393">TS</a>]

00:39:54   about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:54   order fiction on the incomparable and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2394">TS</a>]

00:39:57   I'm a little disappointed last year [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2397">TS</a>]

00:39:59   almost all the nominees ended up being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2399">TS</a>]

00:40:00   available for free on the web and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2400">TS</a>]

00:40:02   hasn't happened this year which kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2402">TS</a>]

00:40:03   bugs me but do I look to me like there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2403">TS</a>]

00:40:06   is there more of an effort to get those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2406">TS</a>]

00:40:07   out once the voting is done or is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2407">TS</a>]

00:40:10   still that gets parole officer of herb [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2410">TS</a>]

00:40:12   in print or what have you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2412">TS</a>]

00:40:14   last year i think they I think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2414">TS</a>]

00:40:15   publishers made an effort to get them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2415">TS</a>]

00:40:18   freely available so people could read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2418">TS</a>]

00:40:19   them and talk about them and vote for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2419">TS</a>]

00:40:21   them and this year i think i think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2421">TS</a>]

00:40:23   seems not so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2423">TS</a>]

00:40:24   ok so there are three different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2424">TS</a>]

00:40:27   categories their short story novelette [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2427">TS</a>]

00:40:28   and novella we were three short stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2428">TS</a>]

00:40:32   nominated i think most of us read all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2432">TS</a>]

00:40:36   the short stories so we should probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2436">TS</a>]

00:40:37   start there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2437">TS</a>]

00:40:39   let's see in no particular order [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2439">TS</a>]

00:40:42   immersion by aliette did bowed our I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2442">TS</a>]

00:40:47   think her name is her him i don't even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2447">TS</a>]

00:40:49   know this is this this is her this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2449">TS</a>]

00:40:52   the story of uh it's it's set on my god [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2452">TS</a>]

00:40:56   is it a space station and there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:59   technology called a Mercer that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2459">TS</a>]

00:41:01   basically overrides your visual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2461">TS</a>]

00:41:04   appearance and your personality with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2464">TS</a>]

00:41:06   with the with other memories and other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2466">TS</a>]

00:41:10   behaviors like a big universe that she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2470">TS</a>]

00:41:12   just giving us a tiny slice that I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2472">TS</a>]

00:41:14   know she's written more in this space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2474">TS</a>]

00:41:16   and it's very interesting but if you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2476">TS</a>]

00:41:18   getting like one one thousandth of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2478">TS</a>]

00:41:20   percent and she keeps implying a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2480">TS</a>]

00:41:23   things that you just don't know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2483">TS</a>]

00:41:25   that the full picture is I i read these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2485">TS</a>]

00:41:28   stories you know so i read download 3 i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2488">TS</a>]

00:41:31   just read them in random order more or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2491">TS</a>]

00:41:33   less and I found that I liked coming in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2493">TS</a>]

00:41:36   increasing order as I went along and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2496">TS</a>]

00:41:38   this one was in the middle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2498">TS</a>]

00:41:39   ah interesting firmly in the middle i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2499">TS</a>]

00:41:41   would say so yeah like Glenn says I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2501">TS</a>]

00:41:45   like this is a part of a larger picture [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2505">TS</a>]

00:41:47   I don't read a lot of short fiction i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2507">TS</a>]

00:41:49   read some what short fiction I do read I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2509">TS</a>]

00:41:51   think tends to be less often sci-fi and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2511">TS</a>]

00:41:53   more often something like a mystery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2513">TS</a>]

00:41:56   so like because I grew up reading track [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2516">TS</a>]

00:41:57   home stories and Agatha Christie stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2517">TS</a>]

00:41:59   and that kind of stuff and so you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2519">TS</a>]

00:42:02   kind of get away with that because it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2522">TS</a>]

00:42:03   got a very definite shape like a mystery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2523">TS</a>]

00:42:05   story in a book there's a mystery right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2525">TS</a>]

00:42:07   there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2527">TS</a>]

00:42:08   detective the detectives going to solve [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2528">TS</a>]

00:42:09   the mystery at the end so there there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2529">TS</a>]

00:42:12   something pleasing and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2532">TS</a>]

00:42:13   comforting about that whereas sci-fi [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2533">TS</a>]

00:42:15   stories very often don't have you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2535">TS</a>]

00:42:17   they they can be a little more abstract [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2537">TS</a>]

00:42:19   or there's not quite such a defined [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2539">TS</a>]

00:42:21   formula right and so this one it did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2541">TS</a>]

00:42:24   very much feel like a slice of a larger [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2544">TS</a>]

00:42:27   work to me I mean there is sort of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2547">TS</a>]

00:42:28   thread but you've got this the strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2548">TS</a>]

00:42:30   dueling narrative including one that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2550">TS</a>]

00:42:32   in the second person that's an unusual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2552">TS</a>]

00:42:34   look which took a little time to get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2554">TS</a>]

00:42:37   used to and it's sort of comes to a head [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2557">TS</a>]

00:42:39   towards the end but at the same time I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2559">TS</a>]

00:42:44   felt like I you know I came out of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:46   and thought about it for a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2566">TS</a>]

00:42:47   and it was like I'm not really sure what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2567">TS</a>]

00:42:48   you're going for here is this not story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2568">TS</a>]

00:42:51   would have been a strong candidate for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2571">TS</a>]

00:42:54   the James Tiptree jr. water that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2574">TS</a>]

00:42:57   still being offered because it's one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2577">TS</a>]

00:42:58   these things about it's a metaphor for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2578">TS</a>]

00:43:00   woman's identity although it's caffeine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2580">TS</a>]

00:43:02   is a broader thing to me man also use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2582">TS</a>]

00:43:04   the Mercer's but they seem to have less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:06   trouble with them and women get subsumed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2586">TS</a>]

00:43:09   should i know there's an implicit in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2589">TS</a>]

00:43:11   that women tend to get this one going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2591">TS</a>]

00:43:12   suggest this wife gets completely taken [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2592">TS</a>]

00:43:14   over by her mercer and the husband seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2594">TS</a>]

00:43:17   quite sad about it but but she's turned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2597">TS</a>]

00:43:20   left onto longer turn it up too long as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2600">TS</a>]

00:43:22   you wanted to fit in and she's she's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2602">TS</a>]

00:43:24   of his race and uh and she's she's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2604">TS</a>]

00:43:29   native of this station or planet or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2609">TS</a>]

00:43:31   wherever there are that were there when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2611">TS</a>]

00:43:33   the story takes place and so it that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2613">TS</a>]

00:43:36   one of the interesting things about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2616">TS</a>]

00:43:37   two different narratives we got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2617">TS</a>]

00:43:38   people who are working there or that or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2618">TS</a>]

00:43:40   the narratives of it and then that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2620">TS</a>]

00:43:42   you've got this woman who's been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2622">TS</a>]

00:43:43   completely lost yourself and and where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2623">TS</a>]

00:43:46   we're seeing that dynamic but we're also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2626">TS</a>]

00:43:48   seeing the strange technology and trying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2628">TS</a>]

00:43:50   to figure out what the Mercer really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2630">TS</a>]

00:43:52   means and it's it starts out as being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2632">TS</a>]

00:43:54   almost like a hint sort of thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2634">TS</a>]

00:43:55   struck me as like well you know like you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2635">TS</a>]

00:43:57   what fingers you extend when you pick up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2637">TS</a>]

00:43:59   your teacup it's sort of like it'll tell [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2639">TS</a>]

00:44:01   you all of those things but if you all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2641">TS</a>]

00:44:03   you do is ever listen to the Mercer you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2643">TS</a>]

00:44:05   completely lose who you are as a person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2645">TS</a>]

00:44:06   and you're just basically a robot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:08   repeating the orders of the of the of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2648">TS</a>]

00:44:10   them the Mercer which seems to be what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2650">TS</a>]

00:44:12   happens to the characters like someone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2652">TS</a>]

00:44:14   who played too much wow who or that game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2654">TS</a>]

00:44:17   one start with the next to that she can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:19   I feel like that game comes up in every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2659">TS</a>]

00:44:21   single [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2661">TS</a>]

00:44:22   every single icomparable episode that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:23   because that's because that's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2663">TS</a>]

00:44:25   excellent episode with actually genocide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2665">TS</a>]

00:44:27   scares the crap out of me as a kid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2667">TS</a>]

00:44:28   Scott what did you think well I liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2668">TS</a>]

00:44:33   this short story a lot I I liked the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2673">TS</a>]

00:44:36   fact that it just kind of started and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2676">TS</a>]

00:44:38   you were kind of lost and didn't even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:41   know what anniversary was which seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:42   important since it's the middle of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2682">TS</a>]

00:44:44   short stories emerged inversion a new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2684">TS</a>]

00:44:47   kind of our are confused for a while and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2687">TS</a>]

00:44:50   then it kind of clicks at the end I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2690">TS</a>]

00:44:52   thought was very effective I she also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2692">TS</a>]

00:44:54   wrote one of the novellas that are is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2694">TS</a>]

00:44:57   nominated and I feel like she has a good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2697">TS</a>]

00:45:01   talent for kind of creating what seems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2701">TS</a>]

00:45:05   like a very well-thought-out world in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2705">TS</a>]

00:45:09   very compressed amount of space in with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2709">TS</a>]

00:45:13   a few words i kind of feel like there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2713">TS</a>]

00:45:15   a fully flashed world back there I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2715">TS</a>]

00:45:16   know a lot about it but I feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2716">TS</a>]

00:45:18   there's depth to it that I haven't seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2718">TS</a>]

00:45:20   it's not like it's like a it's not a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2720">TS</a>]

00:45:22   soap bubble I feel like it's it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2722">TS</a>]

00:45:25   fully fleshed out even if i'm only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2725">TS</a>]

00:45:27   getting this little slice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2727">TS</a>]

00:45:28   yeah i agree i i i didn't love this one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2728">TS</a>]

00:45:32   but I liked it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2732">TS</a>]

00:45:33   what's so another one is a there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:38   three short story nominees mantis wives [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2738">TS</a>]

00:45:40   bike is Johnson this is interesting kiss [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2740">TS</a>]

00:45:43   Johnson I recognize the name and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:44   looked I looked her up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2744">TS</a>]

00:45:46   this is a this is a woman author as well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2746">TS</a>]

00:45:48   and she wrote a novella that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2748">TS</a>]

00:45:53   nominated last year that i liked a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2753">TS</a>]

00:45:55   deal called the man who bridge the mist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2755">TS</a>]

00:45:57   liked it a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2757">TS</a>]

00:45:59   she also was nominated for the nebula [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2759">TS</a>]

00:46:05   and Hugo I think she won the Nobel for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2765">TS</a>]

00:46:08   short story called ponies which I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2768">TS</a>]

00:46:10   despised so i didn't know what i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2770">TS</a>]

00:46:13   going to think about mantis wives was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2773">TS</a>]

00:46:14   the pony one ponies about vampire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2774">TS</a>]

00:46:16   unicorns no no that's another thing it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2776">TS</a>]

00:46:18   was it was the the ponies they kill each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2778">TS</a>]

00:46:20   other and it's awful and I mean I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2780">TS</a>]

00:46:22   service vehicle but I didn't like it at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2782">TS</a>]

00:46:24   all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2784">TS</a>]

00:46:25   ya see well it was good i didn't like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2785">TS</a>]

00:46:28   but I was really rich [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2788">TS</a>]

00:46:30   yeah that's true but I feel like this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2790">TS</a>]

00:46:33   one suffers from the problem of people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2793">TS</a>]

00:46:37   how authors who sometimes go into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2797">TS</a>]

00:46:39   stories feeling like I am going to say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2799">TS</a>]

00:46:42   something with capital esas uh-huh and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2802">TS</a>]

00:46:45   get just there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2805">TS</a>]

00:46:48   I did not feel like there's a story here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2808">TS</a>]

00:46:50   no this this red like this reminded me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2810">TS</a>]

00:46:52   of the sort of things that got submitted [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2812">TS</a>]

00:46:55   to me when I was everything intertext [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2815">TS</a>]

00:46:57   the fiction magazine many years ago and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2817">TS</a>]

00:46:59   i would read this and think there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2819">TS</a>]

00:47:00   many clever ideas here this reads more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2820">TS</a>]

00:47:02   like a summary or a a blister bullet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2822">TS</a>]

00:47:06   points of ideas the idea here is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2826">TS</a>]

00:47:08   there are these these mantis people and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2828">TS</a>]

00:47:11   may the women eat their mates like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2831">TS</a>]

00:47:14   mantises do and they come up with all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2834">TS</a>]

00:47:17   sorts of different ways of doing it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2837">TS</a>]

00:47:18   because they're intelligent and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2838">TS</a>]

00:47:19   have this culture and I I again it just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2839">TS</a>]

00:47:22   came across to me like it's clever but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2842">TS</a>]

00:47:24   it's not really a story it's just some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2844">TS</a>]

00:47:26   ideas on the back of a napkin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2846">TS</a>]

00:47:29   it's a little too clever for its own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2849">TS</a>]

00:47:31   good to two things that has one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2851">TS</a>]

00:47:33   best opening sentences [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2853">TS</a>]

00:47:35   eventually the Mantis women discovered [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2855">TS</a>]

00:47:37   that killing their husbands was not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2857">TS</a>]

00:47:39   inseparable from the getting of young i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2859">TS</a>]

00:47:41   just i read that a bunch of times and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2861">TS</a>]

00:47:43   the rest of the story didn't fulfill me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2863">TS</a>]

00:47:44   the same way that first sentence did it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2864">TS</a>]

00:47:46   was beautifully constructed the other is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2866">TS</a>]

00:47:48   this the kind of thing that got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2868">TS</a>]

00:47:49   published a lot in the nineteen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2869">TS</a>]

00:47:50   seventies and those like brave new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2870">TS</a>]

00:47:52   fiction dangerous visions that was like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2872">TS</a>]

00:47:55   stuff that was so challenging I'm like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2875">TS</a>]

00:47:57   well I'm going to be challenged by this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2877">TS</a>]

00:47:59   anymore because I can read all kinds of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2879">TS</a>]

00:48:00   experimental we have exposure to so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2880">TS</a>]

00:48:03   more kinds of stuff i kinda I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2883">TS</a>]

00:48:04   this was amusing it was like an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2884">TS</a>]

00:48:06   amuse-bouche like a little thing you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2886">TS</a>]

00:48:08   read very quickly haha but it didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2888">TS</a>]

00:48:09   hold up as a story anyway in intertext [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2889">TS</a>]

00:48:12   we always had the short must be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2892">TS</a>]

00:48:14   spectacular rule we called it which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/2894">TS</a>]

00:51:52   ending kinda telegraphed sure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3112">TS</a>]

00:51:54   uh-huh but at the same time you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3114">TS</a>]

00:52:11   who you know you inhabit just long [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3131">TS</a>]

00:52:14   enough to realize like that everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3134">TS</a>]

00:52:15   that they do is realistic to a certain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3135">TS</a>]

00:52:20   extent right you know despite the fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3140">TS</a>]

00:52:21   that it's an outlandish setting its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3141">TS</a>]

00:52:24   there's something true about that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3144">TS</a>]

00:52:36   more mantis but other than that huh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3156">TS</a>]

00:52:58   you know the the self-sacrifice the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3178">TS</a>]

00:53:01   family sacrifice i loved the the way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3181">TS</a>]

00:53:04   that the Japanese people reacted they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3184">TS</a>]

00:53:07   were you know all very calm about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3187">TS</a>]

00:53:09   the world is going to end but we have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3189">TS</a>]

00:53:10   line up in our assigned places and just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3190">TS</a>]

00:55:03   be made of glass like not metaphorically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3303">TS</a>]

00:55:05   or that syndrome where people have like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3305">TS</a>]

00:55:08   Samuel Jackson and unbreakable have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3308">TS</a>]

00:55:09   easily broken bones literally he has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3309">TS</a>]

00:55:12   made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3312">TS</a>]

00:55:12   glass he cries molten glass tears and if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3312">TS</a>]

00:55:16   you drop him he will shatter into a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3316">TS</a>]

00:55:18   million pieces of glass because he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3318">TS</a>]

00:55:20   made of glass actual glass this is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3320">TS</a>]

00:55:25   strange strange story metaphorically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3325">TS</a>]

00:55:27   though not actually he's not actually I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3327">TS</a>]

00:55:30   liked a lot of things about this story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3330">TS</a>]

00:55:31   you know i-i-i I felt like it almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3331">TS</a>]

00:55:35   that the writer you know maybe he did it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3335">TS</a>]

00:55:39   on purpose but it felt to me almost as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3339">TS</a>]

00:55:40   if we were sort of supposed to we were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3340">TS</a>]

00:55:43   going to tell the story of the boy who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3343">TS</a>]

00:55:45   cast a shadow and in the end the glass [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3345">TS</a>]

00:55:48   kid was more interesting so it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3348">TS</a>]

00:55:49   really about the boy who cast a shadow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3349">TS</a>]

00:55:51   enabling the glass kid to see the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3351">TS</a>]

00:55:55   and and have a good sort of end to his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3355">TS</a>]

00:55:57   life and that the fact that this boy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3357">TS</a>]

00:55:59   cast no shadow kind of wasn't relevant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3359">TS</a>]

00:56:02   at all he was there he was he enabled [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3362">TS</a>]

00:56:06   the actual store yeah and it's nice that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3366">TS</a>]

00:56:08   there's a good title the Blue Castle [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3368">TS</a>]

00:56:10   yeah and these are two you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3370">TS</a>]

00:56:12   essentially they're they're Outsiders [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3372">TS</a>]

00:56:15   there there there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3375">TS</a>]

00:56:17   unlike their friends the boy who cast a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3377">TS</a>]

00:56:20   shadow is also gay so he's ee an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3380">TS</a>]

00:56:23   outsider and struggles with that and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3383">TS</a>]

00:56:25   then then his friend is over protected [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3385">TS</a>]

00:56:28   by his parents because you know he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3388">TS</a>]

00:56:30   made of glass [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3390">TS</a>]

00:56:33   lots of of parallels you can draw I what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3393">TS</a>]

00:56:36   the story is really about it is he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3396">TS</a>]

00:56:39   actually made of glass it's not just the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3399">TS</a>]

00:56:41   parents are being overprotective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3401">TS</a>]

00:56:45   was like no you know why did she cast no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3405">TS</a>]

00:56:49   shadow what does that mean it probably [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3409">TS</a>]

00:56:51   does mean something but there are also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3411">TS</a>]

01:00:26   interspersed with the the narrative of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3626">TS</a>]

01:00:28   the story kind of fleshing out the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3628">TS</a>]

01:00:30   because I could just see these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:33   advertisements that they were talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3633">TS</a>]

01:00:42   this kind of idealized nineteen fifties [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3642">TS</a>]

01:00:50   exactly it was still the perfect nuclear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3650">TS</a>]

01:00:53   family buried in layers of the country [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3653">TS</a>]

01:02:30   was very thinly told and Seymour to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3750">TS</a>]

01:02:32   an excuse for the sky that kind of walk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3752">TS</a>]

01:02:34   through all of these various ideas or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3754">TS</a>]

01:02:37   lady and a package man or woman it's pat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3757">TS</a>]

01:02:42   run through pet ideas about how space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3762">TS</a>]

01:02:45   exploration might be fostered by having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3765">TS</a>]

01:02:48   body modifications that work better for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3768">TS</a>]

01:03:03   you know this was not didn't feel that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3783">TS</a>]

01:03:06   strong to me there's some interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3786">TS</a>]

01:03:07   ideas here i think that there's it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3787">TS</a>]

01:03:09   lot of it's predicated on this pun of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3789">TS</a>]

01:03:11   going out for sushi being too want to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:15   surgically altered into being a fish a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3795">TS</a>]

01:03:17   space fish [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3797">TS</a>]

01:03:19   yeah and then the end the only thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3799">TS</a>]

01:03:24   about it that sort of had struck me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3804">TS</a>]

01:03:25   about it was the idea that maybe if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3805">TS</a>]

01:03:29   saw this on on a in a movie or something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3809">TS</a>]

01:03:32   the idea that this is the fish don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3812">TS</a>]

01:03:34   think she's anything interesting but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3814">TS</a>]

01:03:35   she's a beauty queen so imagine there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3815">TS</a>]

01:03:38   this beautiful woman in outer space who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3818">TS</a>]

01:03:41   decides that she wants to be turned into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3821">TS</a>]

01:03:43   a chambered nautilus and that all of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3823">TS</a>]

01:03:46   earth media we see briefly it is a gas [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3826">TS</a>]

01:03:50   that this would happen but the idea is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3830">TS</a>]

01:03:51   she's out there to become sort of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3831">TS</a>]

01:03:53   native of space and that means shedding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3833">TS</a>]

01:03:55   her old human body and becoming a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3835">TS</a>]

01:03:58   chambered nautilus and then they go off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3838">TS</a>]

01:04:12   with language in it but overall it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3852">TS</a>]

01:04:14   didn't do much for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3854">TS</a>]

01:05:32   extremely beautiful never had multiple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3932">TS</a>]

01:05:34   times ratcatcher I found tedious and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3934">TS</a>]

01:05:38   yeah probably over formal and totally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3938">TS</a>]

01:05:41   almost plotless an interesting alright [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3941">TS</a>]

01:05:44   well there you go in sea salt tears i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3944">TS</a>]

01:05:57   it was well told that a nice twist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3957">TS</a>]

01:05:59   thought it was a into the retelling of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3959">TS</a>]

01:06:02   long you know held story in modern times [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/3962">TS</a>]

01:11:06   what do you think of these others so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4266">TS</a>]

01:11:08   there is the Emperor soul by Brandon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4268">TS</a>]

01:11:13   Sanderson and if anyone has read any of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4273">TS</a>]

01:11:16   Brandon sense and stuff they will have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4276">TS</a>]

01:11:19   read this basically he is really really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4279">TS</a>]

01:11:22   interested in building magic systems and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4282">TS</a>]

01:11:27   so basically this novella is an excuse [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4287">TS</a>]

01:11:31   for him to build a magic system based on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4291">TS</a>]

01:11:35   seals so you you place a seal on an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4295">TS</a>]

01:11:39   object our part part part part that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4299">TS</a>]

01:11:42   worth unmuting yourself for I and I it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4302">TS</a>]

01:11:46   rewrites the history of the object so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4306">TS</a>]

01:11:49   you have like a phase that's very plain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4309">TS</a>]

01:11:52   but a seal master can put a seal on it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4312">TS</a>]

01:11:56   that will then turn it in to change the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4316">TS</a>]

01:11:57   history of that item and make it into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4317">TS</a>]

01:12:00   like you know a main bazar something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4320">TS</a>]

01:12:01   like and he's the guy was finishing the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4321">TS</a>]

01:12:03   wheel of time right to finish the wheel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4323">TS</a>]

01:12:05   times together didn't finish a meal of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4325">TS</a>]

01:12:06   time and he he did the mistborn series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4326">TS</a>]

01:12:11   so basically the story is the seal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4331">TS</a>]

01:12:14   master person is caught because they she [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4334">TS</a>]

01:12:23   but the Emperor's has a fatal accident [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4343">TS</a>]

01:12:25   and so he his peace brain dead so she is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4345">TS</a>]

01:12:29   a taken into secrecy and she has to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4349">TS</a>]

01:12:33   basically create recreate the Emperor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4353">TS</a>]

01:12:35   soul using a seal and basically make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4355">TS</a>]

01:12:38   counterfeit version of the Emperor huh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4358">TS</a>]

01:12:49   it was interesting but it was mostly a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4369">TS</a>]

01:16:06   strange aliens come and wipe out earth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4566">TS</a>]

01:16:09   but as they're wiping out earth they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4569">TS</a>]

01:16:11   save some people and put them in a shell [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4571">TS</a>]

01:16:15   which is basically an artificial [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4575">TS</a>]

01:16:38   race but it fails for a variety of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4598">TS</a>]

01:16:41   reasons radiation damage and all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4601">TS</a>]

01:16:44   kind of stuff so eventually the aliens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4604">TS</a>]

01:16:45   give them a time machine that only that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4605">TS</a>]

01:16:50   works sporadically so that they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMZeWbxg/4610">TS</a>]
