I found him pretty pathetic going through his life story. The guy was an idiot that heralded dangerous things just for keep sake and now half of England is in turmoil because of it, let alone largely other parts of the world already. I mean at least he thought he was making things right but really all he did was run and hide. He didn't track down the books to get them back into the right place or at least a better one, didn't even try to disengage any of them (like how some can be burned), he probably could have spread around manuals just as easily as the books themselves but thats not something that was considered. I'm not saying he deserved to die, getting a beatdown by Gerard was probably enough considering the books weren't actually his making. But he made them his responsibility. And then he abandoned that responsibility and left everyone else to clean it up and die for it. Kind of reminds me of Gravity Falls, yet again. A hubris ridden man, selfish, self absorbed, so caught in his fascination he doesn't even realize that he can't escape it. And when he's gone, everyone else is going in blind and defenseless all because that stupid, selfish man could do nothing but play with extremities that he never should have endeavored in the first place. Damn it, if I don't love this podcast.

But while you're right, I watched "Psycho", and many other good horror movies, and as I said- nothing has yet filled me with such terror.

Jon is a very _humane_ person. He values other people's lives intrinsically and doesn't put others lives above his own. Most other characters show themselves to be selfish in that they value their own happiness or safety over others (usually Jon's) wellbeing. I think the series has a lot to say about the convenience of compassion.

"Im going to get a cigarette" JON NO SMOKING LITERALLY KILLS

Oh. Well. Sasha is for all intents and purposes dead, and given the fate of the previous assistants, and archivists... I don't like foreshadowing. I really, really hate it. It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, and I hate it. And the worst thing, I'll probably listen on. Because even if I know what is going to happen, I have that last nasty, wriggling piece of hope that it won't. And that's almost worse than knowing for sure.

The goddamn blood dropping... holy- I was ready to hear a body falling to the floor. But- damn it. Please, Martin you are the only soul that probably will have a little doubt with Jon, keep believing in him. He will need a friend, we all.

Now I know Jon ain't just left through a door when Michael is still wreaking havoc 😃

That was awful and I hated it. People being helpless and scared make me feel horrible, especially when they end up suffering or dead, and this fits the bill. I'm going to get a warm drink now. Still great work as usual, RQ. You're hurting me but like, with talent and excellent work.

10:24 "the most valuable things always need to be hunted." Ahh he had a hint of hunt in him. Just a hint. Hunting for books.

I think this franchise somehow just got so, so much better...

The super long silence with nothing but dripping after (spoiler) Leitner is killed is the worst/best thing ever. I was not prepared for this. The season one ending was spooky but also fun; there was some humour, some adventure stuff, and everyone made it out somewhat alive. This was so different, but still, I loved them both❤️

I can't imagine listening to this before season three came out. I'm just now listening to TMA and damn- that cliffhanger got me, even though I don't have to wait for the next season. Ya'll who are veterans, I applaud you.

leitner's voice when he said "of course" at 18:27... spooky.

Hi! I just got to Magnus Archives Episode 80 where you were 8 months ago when you noticed that Leitner's voice went evil twice on the words "of course" (18:27) and "'yes" (22:42). PLEASE without any spoilers, can you just tell me if that ended up being important to the plot? Since John didn't react to it and the tape didn't start making weird noises, I thought it might have been an editing mistake by the podcasters...but it seems WAY too obvious and evil and confined to a single word to be a mistake. Could you just tell me a 'yes' or 'no' if it ended up being important to the plot? Thank you!!! :)

It would be really funny if Leitner decided to be a regular ass librarian for the monstrosities.

Also I thought the end of the season would be about spiders. Way to keep me on my toes.

Hi! 7 months ago, you posted the time indexes for a "Gore sounds warning" on Episode 80 of Magnus archives which was liked many times. May I ask a silly question? What were your thoughts behind letting people know about that? In other words, are those sound effects something that bother some people and you were just being kind to inform them? Just curious. Thanks!

Glad I'm not the only one who was extremely confused for a while about the difference between GERARD Keay and JARED Hopworth. That drove me crazy. My kids and I still refer to Gerard as "Jared" because we were so use to him being called that by the time we figured out that Brits pronounce them, apparently, the exact same way. I think it's one of those things like the name Bernard. In the States, we pronounce it "ber-NARD" but the Brits say it "BER-nerd."

THE CAPTAL I IN THE TITLE

Things I recognized in Leitner's retelling of the attack on his library: Mary Johnson: A 'cavernous maw' opening below her. Presumably whatever Jared Hopworth was throwing body bits into in ep49. Has connections with the book 'the bonetuner's tale'(ep17) Gregory Todd: Ran into a door that wasn't there. Most likely Michael. Ep 47 is where he kidnaps someone with the 'door that didn't exist', but comes out in multiple other episodes as well. Unnamed staff: Sucked into a giant pile of meat. Possibly the same pile of meat from ep 18. Rooms that 'fell into darkness': Possibly the 'people's church of the divine host', as the reoccurring theme with them are rooms filled with unnatural dark. Edit: 'some even liked the flames. And those that did, I now believe, would have been released to take a different form'. So... the possibility that Agnes was one of the books in Leitner's library that took human form?
