And we can thank good-natured, heart-of-the-podcast Steve Carlsburg for both of them. The mysterious Labyrinth corporation will no longer be sending Night Vale citizens to perform illicit deeds in the desert, and the supply chain problem won't be causing any more problems, ie: Cecil having to use a laptop that's more than eight days old. Like a savage.In other news, Kathryn watched another episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks (it was silly, but it's a Ferengi episode, it was always going to be silly). And we both watched the last two remaining episodes of the latest season of Love, Death, and Robots. Short summary: "How Zeke Got Religion" has a solid story with fantastic images and a terrifying antagonist. And we kiiinda think we liked "The Screaming of the Tyrannosaur" better.The Welcome To Night Vale writers decided to prepare for the July hiatus by wrapping up two storylines this episode.
