Some day I want to see a show that does the “no filler episodes” thing from the opposite direction. Just a whole season worth of low-stakes character pieces that seem to move the overall story absolutely nowhere, then episode 26 pulls all the triggers at once and this massive Rube Goldberg machine of a plot the show’s been quietly setting up in the background the whole time hits you like a truck.

@milkinthemicrowave I’m quite curious now what the experience of listening to TMA as JUST the reports would be like, like how comprehensible the story events would be if you cut around any additional dialogue, Jon monologues, or the actual event recordings. Obviously the report logs themselves become plot-entangled as Jon’s involvement with the Eye comes into focus over the series, which I think would make for an interesting way to view the overall story.
