6.9 - "Too Powerful For That"

Jenny and Ted discuss Tangle 6.9. Episode Notes: The shoe drops on our emotions, sparing the plot It’s nowhere near as bad as 5.4 for Jenny At the spoiler warning, skip ahead 30 seconds if you don’t want to hear how this is different than what happens in Buffy season 2 Which came first, the chicken(ing out of talking to Danny) or the egg(knowledgement of her Under-desires) The comb-over as slippery slope Jenny finishes the letter Wait, Taylor likes friends more than the mission? Taylor?? Brian gives Taylor a vision of online school, but Coil gives her a vision of villainous good It might not be that relevant right now, but would Taylor admit to wanting glory? Jenny’s on high alert for the snake man behind the snake curtain If the choice is between Taylor and Skitter, she can only choose Skitter Danny underestimates Taylors power… as a young adult Look, no one’s gonna listen about their comb-over when you’re re-traumatizing them Is parental “bullying” inevitable? Bye, Emma! Now we get to see Taylor be a full Undersider! Yay!! We're almost at peak fanfiction time, probably This chapter is breaking our hearts with the mom stuff Taylor's struggle in this chapter is for authenticity The allure of black and white thinking and the freedom of villainy Why is Coil so invested in Bitch, anyway? Jenny figures out who Regent's dad is, probably The name game! Links: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/category/stories-arcs-1-10/arc-6-tangle/6-09/ https://www.patreon.com/Wildbow
