11.1 - "Daddy Issues"

Jenny and Ted discuss Infestation 11.1. Episode Notes: This chapter really hooked us Jenny isn't fooled by dreams! Jenny's giving up hope of a secret, non-terrible plan The many layers of Taylor's daddy issues Danny is the best and should have more power(s) Taylor's so good at terror, and at compartmentalization Why does Coil really want to split the Undersiders up? The narrative draw of a Scooby gang Jenny doesn't want this to be the dynamic for all of book two of Worm Taylor needs a new plan because she's really bad at sucking up to people Oops Taylor might be projecting onto Dinah And we might be projecting onto Taylor Not a lot of sympathy for the Merchants here We're in Deadwood now Supervillains do such good work in this book Jenny realizes that Taylor has even more tunnel vision about Dinah than she thought We identify Taylor's true combover Revisiting Taylor in the mirror Shatterbird is coming for our vision, probably No ethical consumption under Coil Taylor is not a happy supervillain Taylor used to like her character and not her looks. Now... Their estrangement is clearly worse for Danny than for Taylor Themes of entrapment and violation: they're everywhere!
