ooohhh i wanna sit and pick apart jonathan and tim's arguement from the mag65 supplemental sooo bad---

the toneeee shift from sarcastic anger into jon's softer scheming voice and tim's stammering confusion, and finally their combined lack of knowledge and realisation that they're stuck in this together whether they like it or not shines through as they talk it through a little towards the end. Oh mygod.

AND ULTIMATELY i think it boils down to their respective fear and isolation following the prentiss attack -- tim because he feels like everyone turned their focus on "crazy, paranoid, stalker" jon, and jon because Of said paranoia driving him to push the others away. they fell Together during the attack, so in another world that shared trauma and damage should have brought them closer together, but alas, jon's distress at the new info being brought up about gertrude, paired also with the painful LACK of info, rly sent him on a spiral .-.

ALSOOO WE GOT THE FIRST SWEAR WORDD EVERYONE CHEER !!! perfect use, i love when curse words are used so sparingly if at all only to culminate into such a Moment in media.

anyway i love this arguement and this scene a Lot; tim finally releasing his clearly pent up anger, jon's defensiveness through his complete lack of trust, the trailbacks to elias'... incompetence.. leading into the explicit reveal that You Cannot Leave The Archives that's been lightly hinted at so far (the slight static here too was great), culminating into tim's helplessness and jon Continuing to violently distrust everyone around him and keep his emotional wall up and strong as ever -- it's Brilliant, im obsessed

i rly hope this leads into jon and tim learning to trust each other and working together, because they're IN this together and they Neeeeeed to.

bring martin in too, and while you're at it find the original sasha and Bring Her Home. pls.
