MAG 36 - Taken Ill

[generalb]

MAG 36 “Taken Ill” review:

Good episode dead people lotsa flies yadda yadda yadda THERES A WEIRD TABLE. There were two things delivered from last episode. One of them was a Zippo lighter with a spiderweb design, the other was a hypnotic looking table with a hold in its center. I’m going to attempt to look up the table without seeing spoilers.

Oxygen Potassium so the table comes from mag 3 which is so long ago I don’t even remember what that episode is about.

Okay I read the summary for that episode. Creepy. Perhaps then the lighter belongs to Actual Graham, who was a chain smoker. Why a return to this episode, of all times? And, more importantly, why is it that Breekon & Hope had the strange table? I’m assuming it’s breekon and hope because the movers in MAG 2 “do not open” were two British men, same as MAG 35. Sims also makes a connection between today’s protagonist, Nicole Baxter, and Jane Prentiss’s accounts on their similar discussion of fear.

Another point of interest is that near the end, when Baxter is running back to her car from the old folks home, she’s momentarily stopped by an old man and a companion. This is undoubtedly a “important for later” that i will absolutely forget, but for now? I’m headcanonning them as The Doctor and his companion. Fuck it, Doctor Who in The Magnus Archives. This episode was gross, but good overall. 7/10

Statement Ends.

Well at least I know what pens the med students used

[lilies-and-laughing-gas]

Still not sure if I like the placement of the words on the Faro game peices but I couldn't think of anything better so here we are.

I enjoyed Anatomy class so much my love for the stranger continuing. They just wanted to learn and that teacher was just being a scaredy-cat and a meanie, they gave you a gift after, you could at least be grateful.

For being another not really important episode I did really like Taken Ill on the first listen. This line is so off putting I love it.

Wow. Seems like as we are getting closer to the end of the season we are getting way more explicit with the mysteries! Last episode was talking about balance and fear, now we're getting the different categories of fear and how they can bleed together...

Very interesting how Nicole starts her statement with about as clear a reference to the Entities as anyone who is unaware of them is likely to make, then goes straight into outlining how she fears Corruption and not the End.

I think this is an indication of how deeply marked by her experience she was. She is able to feel not only the difference between the Corruption and the End, even if she doesn really Know it (just like Jane Prentiss), but also she is making connections about the true nature of Corruption which may not be obvious to an outside observer (also like Jane Prentiss).

This is deeply funny. I can only aspire to this level of pettiness.

It was a happy place :(

It's awful how Corruption bleeds out and infects the entire world around it. It makes me think of mould growing in food, how by the time any of it is visible the spores have grown all the way through. Like a wasps' nest growing hidden in an attic; like worms breeding in the dark...

One thing that really strikes me about both Josh and Nicole is how practical they are. They are both very clever and react to things very sensibly, which is why I think they are both still alive. That and a health dose of luck.

Of course Josh doesn't shake this guy's hand! He looks sick and there's a fly crawling on his eyeball!

Also, John counter: 9

I feel like I say this basically constantly whenever there is a Corruption or Flesh statement, but YUCK.

The Web table, the Lighter, Ivy Meadows, a gas main caused the fire…

Oh, Jonathan Sims we’re really in it now

Statement of Nicole Baxter, regarding visits culminating in the fire that consumed Ivy Meadows Care Home in Woodley, Greater Manchester.

[insanearchivist]

So I'm probably about to hear Jon opening the package. I'm not sure I want to know what's inside...

Just for fun, here are a few guesses: a body part, more worms or a weird book.

So here goes...

A lighter? Okay... Any connections to the anglerfish maybe??

A table...with fractals maybe? Graham's table???

No don't end the recording I want to know more

mag 36 - taken ill

i've always preffered the rot and decomposition parts of the corruption. maybe it's something about returning to the dirt, the frame that carried your mind being taken over by new life when you're gone.

or maybe it's just that i prefer it to bugs.

i like the starting musings on death and afterlife - or lack thereof - at the beginning of this episode. it's a perspective that i largely share. i'll also say that i've never really paid much attention to john amherst, until this episode when i decided to look him up on the wiki. turns out he's mentioned in several times, in five different episodes. i think i never thought about it much because there are like a dozen different characters named john/jon/jonathan throughout the show.

i love trevor and julia's feature here. they are such good minor characters and very underated. love my old man with anger issues & young woman with anger issues duos :)

also, relistening to this episode reminds me of how awful the residents' deaths actually were. makes me feel really bad for melanie and her father

[chaoticpinetree]

WHAt. There's a lighter. And it has. A web pattern. Ohhhh this cannot be good. I mean. I mean ye it's just a lighter but if it's been sent specifically to The Institute and it, again, has a freaking web pattern, and considering what this podcast is generally about, it cannot be good

NO A TABLE. NO. Oh god last time a table was mentioned, it did not go well. Uh-oh.
