I absolutely love that every time Merle has been confronted with the option to change his past or fix his mistakes, he remained steady in his belief that there's no point in regrets, there is only the now, and all you can do is learn from the past and try to be better. I love that Merle's whole character from the beginning was a Cleric with shaken faith who felt lost and hadn't really found his calling, and many times through the original campaign circumstances caused Merle to question that faith even more, but his belief in love for his friends and even for his enemies was stalwart throughout, and he proved that he was following his own philosophy of learning from your mistakes and being better, and now, he doesn't even hesitate to say his kids are the thing he loves most (1:08:51), and that he loves his friends and has found contentment in his life and faith. Such wonderful character growth from Merle, we love to see it!! Clint has such a strong grasp on his character's motivations and plays him so well! (1:13:17)

Merle is genuinely one of my favorite characters in anything ever and this is exactly why. Huge kudos to Clint for nailing characterization and character growth in a medium that requires everyone to come up with responses on the fly

Something about Taako's ending especially really moved me. Someone who fronts being so self-focused but is so deeply loving when it counts, having new challenges to chase but also a loving partner (and sister and his friends for life and even his thing with Lucretia seems to be patched up) to come home to at the end of the day, when he once thought nowhere but the Bureau would want him and his best days were behind him.

A lot of guest stars on McElroy podcasts have been very talented, hilarious people. But Aabria might be the first ever where I thought she could do this every week and make it even better. She absolutely killed this series, took their energy, filtered it through her own, and I’m subscribed to everything she does from now on.

Kudos to Aabria for absolutely knocking it out of the park with this series and showing her fandom just enough to make it feel like it's still TAZ and let the McElroys do what they do best.

They changed Justin's role in the credits. That's just gorgeous.

Hearing Davenport's biggest regret legitimately made me cry. This is something I've believed about him for so long, and I never imagined Griffin would say it ;__; Lucretia is my other favorite character, and it's so heartbreaking thinking about how much suffering she and Dav went through. Everything after cycle 92 and during the wars especially was probably just so awful for and between them. It's nice to see him start to process and heal, and I'm glad facing what could have been if he'd made different choices at the end of the century is part of it.. Everything about him during this arc has just felt so right, I feel lucky, it's so surreal. Thank you for putting so much love into him, thank you thank you.

His fear of losing people because he wasn’t there for them in that *one moment* is one of my biggest fears as well. Good lord I love this man

This was a fantastic little miniseries! I love the style of Aabria's DMing (and I'm glad she's showing up all over the place, to be honest), and this little story felt like a great way to spend a little time with Balance again without it feeling quite so much like a cover band. Honestly, it could be pretty easy to expand on Taako and Davenport's decisions at the end there, which is also really nice in case they ever want to come back to Balance again. (Heck, I'd read novels detailing their adventures if they wanted to expand further into books!

The emotions that go through Griffins face when the flaming raging sword appears. Is so funny

Griffin immediately checking for Jeff Angel fulfilled my deepest wish when I heard they were coming back to Battle Fest

when this mini series started i was a little worried bc when the boys stopped doing taz balance for live shows, i agreed with their reasoning that they didn't want it to get tired/stagnant and that it was time to move on to other stories. but this really feels like a whole new chapter for these characters and the ending here is just absolutely perfect

Magnus, what do you fear? Everyone's expectations: "Not seeing Julia in the afterlife" Travis: not eating that steak

i love how Aabria gives everyone so many moments to shine but there is truly a love letter to Taako here as well. Thanks McElroy and Aabria team

This was as good as balance even though it was so much shorter. Griffin as a player was a delight, as was Justin becoming Jocasta and sticking to it was awesome. Loved everything about it. Travis ripping out arms. Clint getting an amazing amazing power and just using it to hold up a book, it was so on brand for everyone, and well quite frankly Aabria is an amazing amazing DM and just works so goddamn well I need way way more please!

I can't believe this is the last episode! It's been so fun! I hope they do something with Aabria again, even if it's not set in Balance, she matches their energy perfectly!

I love Aabria being the DM for this series she really paints a fabulous and beautiful word picture which lends itself famously to TAZ and its more... dialog and story driven narrative. Definitely crying as she describes igniting the fire within Takko and that the universe shines with every decision that he makes. The universe does indeed shine for you. Make sure you act in love and grateful selflessness in all your actions because you are worth it and you are loved.

This was such a fun and lovely thing to listen to. I had accepted that we probably were never going to hear these characters again. I've loved the other stuff you've done with TAZ. But there is something special about these characters and the Balance storyline. Well done to all of you. Thank you so much.
