WE ARE SO BACK

[i-am-not-a-who-i-am-a-what]

had a sudden lightening bolt connection moment thinking about today's case while on the bus like, "oh of course augustus is narrating this one, jonah would know a lot about having a second trapped consciousness in his body, wouldn't he?"

[idkwhyyouaskingm3-blog]

I really hope the person Colins talking about in episode 1 is the same person Lenas talking about in the latest episode. I can wait to meet App guy. I wish Colin was there to watch them argue.

TMAGP 22 spoilers

Y’ALL

Absolutely avoid this, and the tags, ANYTHING, cause I think everyone is going to want to go in blind for this one.

Friendly reminder to tag your spoilers, keep spoilers out of post tags, and put spoilers under cuts!!!!!

I am LIVING for Lena putting Gwen in her place. Gwen isn’t interested in knowledge, or knowing what the hell is going on in the OIAR. She’s just gonna get herself or someone else killed thinking she has any kind of handle on the situation.

I wonder if this will bring her and Alice closer? Or if Gwen, still retaining her title, is going to try to strong arm the situation in her favor.

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATEMENT?

Who was talking?

Were they living in that man’s head?

“I” BUT ALSO “WE”? YET THEY’RE ALONE?

Did something come out of his head?????

What was making contact? WILL WE HEAR FROM IT AGAIN?

We stan Ursula, and her impressive ears.

I am LOVING the statements for TMAGP. They are wet, and visceral. Bloody, with a creeping sense of dread. They leave you with questions, but also wanting more.

WHO ARE YOU AUGUSTUS?

Sam had every right to get mad at Alice. I don’t know if she’s jealous. I think she just missed Sam.

But more importantly, GURL WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU MEAN BY “I thought we could—-,” THOUGHT WE COULD WHAT?????? EXCUSE ME? I wasn’t on board with Alice knowing more about everything, BUT I AM ABOUT TO CRACK THAT SKULL OPEN AND TELEGRAPH SOME SHIT. TELL US YOUR SECRETS.

DON’T MAKE ME GET THE TAPE RECORDER WITH TEETH!!!!!!

AND. CELIA.

HOW THE FUCK LONG HAVE YOU BEEN HOLDING ONTO THAT?

JUST WAITING.

TO JUMP SCARE US ALL?????

CELIA YOU HAD ME CLAWING AT MY DESK!!!!!!!!

I NEED IT TO BE NEXT TUESDAY ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I. AM. SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The workplace DRAMA OH MY GOD

"Youre just trying to control me AGAIN" OH MY GOD

I didn't post about last week's ep and I think it's because there wasn't enough character drama for me

But my guys and their messy relationship are soooo back

"I just thought you'd be different. That you'd actually listen to me"

WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM??

I had assumed it had been an amicable split but they really had some deeper issues

ALSO THE LENA AND GWEN INTERACTION??

Okay I feel kinda bad for Gwen I'll admit it

Lena is being a total bitch

But also i don't know what Gwen is expecting on this point

I'm kinda curious how she's gonna go forward. Go rogue and chase down more monsters? Knowing Gwen probably.

What is she trying to prove? If Alice sticking around is suspicious then Gwen sticking around is ASTOUNDING.

As much as I want Jon and Martin to be okay in this universe, to be safe, to only have done a voice acting job for Chester and Norris… I also want them to get dragged into it.

Jon would obviously be curious. Even if they’re from the tma universe, he’d still want to know WHY Sam finds it necessary to find out more about to institute.

Martin would obviously be against this. He was always harder for the eye to control. But Jon would probably go behind his back and do some of his own research. I don’t think it’d be a full redo of season 2, but I do think if Martin didn’t sit down and have a long talk with Jon, he’d still do some checking up on Sam.

In short, I want them to be okay but I also want them to get torn to shreds all over again.

[louis-de-pointe-du-dyke]

Celia you did NOT just actually name drop jon and martin WHAT THE FUCK

[glitch-andromeda]

Idk about you guys but this Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood might be important characters, anyone know anything about them?

[dalashas]

People who have had their corpus callosum cut (that bit that connects the halves of the brain that was mentioned in the epjsode) have reported feeling like two people, or like they were trapped inside their bodies unable to talk. The idea has always horrified and fascinated me and I am so glad they made a story about it in the show. What a terrifying thing to be, that right hand side of the brain which can feel and think but cannot communicate.

There have been studies on people with a severed or absent corpus callosum that show that the right brain can see, understand, and remember, but it cannot communicate verbally because it lacks Broca's area, which is a place on the left brain that activates when we speak.

In one study, a man with a severed corpus callosum was shown an image with his right eye covered. Because the left brain sees through the right eye, his left brain could not see the image. Then, he was asked what he saw. He could not say what it was. Then, he was given a pen in his left hand and asked to draw the thing he saw. He drew it perfectly fine, because the left eye and the left hand are both controlled by the right brain. So, that man's right brain had seen the image, and drawn it, but had been unable to use the speech centre to name it.

Now if you imagine that the right brain yearns for company as human minds do, but cannot communicate without an intact corpus callosum connecting it to the speaking left side, you might imagine a horrifying existence of forced silence as you watch your body speak with its left brain while you cannot communicate.

Some people who experience epilepsy have also felt this way during seizure, like they're two people for the duration. My friend experienced that and said it felt awful and she wanted to 'get out' of her own head. This was scary to even hear, let alone experience (and awkward that I'd started rambling about the corpus callosum to her not knowing she had first hand experience of feeling that way! I felt guilty for bringing it up).

There is another condition called Alien Hand Syndrome, where your hand and arm moves without your say-so. One type is called Callosal alien hand syndrome because it happens after damage to the corpus callosum. This type, in my opinion, is the most bizarre. The example behaviour for this type on webmd is that you may be buttoning up your shirt with one hand, and your alien hand will unbutton it right afterwards. It seems like callosal alien hand syndrome has the most targeted and obstructive behaviour (the other two types, frontal lobe and posterior lobe, are known more for grabbing and groping, or waving and levitating respectively). People with alien hand syndrome may feel their hand is controlled by something else. Some people have to tie it up at night or it tries to scratch them. Some need to distract it by giving it something to hold or interact with or it gets restless and obstructive.

The horror narrative of half your brain being trapped unable to speak, and controlling one arm and trying to communicate but failing because it lacks a communication centre is so scary.

In episode 22 did the machine push it to its edge somehow, make it unable to bear its existence for a moment longer and eject itself? The machine was clearly made in a flash of eldritch inspiration from the fears, as the scientist described it. So did the spooky magic get into the patient's head through the machine, and did it give the right brain conscience, or did it just lend a voice to what was already there?

Did it corrupt the right hemisphere into becoming some tortured thing that could move and live in its own, and the first thing it did was use the ability to move to explode that man's head?

Tmp22 spoilers:

Ok so this last case basically confirmed that it's possible to disconnect the 'self' from the rest of the brain. What if they can reconnect and use it like an AI in computers and that's why FR3-D1 is like that.

Especially if Jon and Martin are important names in Tmagps magnus institute as well. What if TMP Jon and Martin got put into FR3-D1 using a more advanced version of this cases tech?

I really do think FR3-D1 was institute tech that the OIAR started using when they raided the institute. Maybe it was used in the archives?

[lickmycoffeecup]

I can’t get over Celia saying it like SHE DIDN’T MEET THEM FACE TO FACE

[confused0wl]

Dropping names in last two seconds of the episode should be ilegal. You can't just mention Jon and Martin like this and then just end the freaking episode.
