  1. 181

    Chapter 47 (2): Offer

    I really wanna reference Matthew 4:9, but that would suggest Cat is a Christ figure and that's just not right.

  2. 180

    Chapter 46 (2): Denoument

    Learn about our reactions to general anesthesia and our disdain for pre-med students! For some reason!

    I can hear the bells / Well, don'tcha hear them chime? / Can't you feel my heartbeat keeping--Wait, what are you doing with my heart?

  4. 178

    Chapter 44 (2): Drop

    That's the chapter's name because in the film, this fight scene is where the tension builds and then the soundtrack's beat drops.

  5. 177

    Chapter 43 (2): Cliff

    Wow, Nauk is so cool! I'm glad nothing bad happens to him in this chapter. That would be terrible, right?

  6. 176

    Chapter 42 (2): Plateau

    People talk about stop drop and roll making them think fires would be more common, but I can't be the only one who thought I'd run into more plateaus?

  7. 175

    Chapter 41 (2): Turning Point

  14. 168

    Chapter 35 (2): Questions

    Sulia isn't very good at this. And, based on our audio quality, neither are we. It's gonna be some months more of this, but we're striving for solution!

  15. 167

    Chapter 34 (2): Talks

    I'll be honest; it seems more and more like they don't stand a chance!

  16. 166

  20. 162

  27. 155

    Chapter 29 (2): Scale

    We haven't FIXED the audio issue, but we've arranged for real patching. Things should be much better now.

  28. 154

    Extra Chapter: Closure

    We've lost a lot to the audio gremlins, and the scars are still clear here. Thank you for bearing with us. We think we have at least a temporary fix for next week. HUGE thanks for your understanding.

  29. 153

    Chapter 28 (3): Gambits

    We're having some big audio issues. If that's a dealbreaker, check back in TWO weeks and it might be better. Sorry fam

  30. 152

    Interlude: Commanders

    The episode opens in peace and closes with violence. Much like the year. See you in 2026!

  31. 151

    Chapter 27 (3): Expedition

    Sorry about the rough recording. We had some real software failure. The episode is merely mangled, not dead, but we're hoping for better next time. Thanks for understanding bye

  32. 150

    Chapter 26 (3): Advance

    So, um, it seems like the Watch is actually a significant force. Do you think that's why no one really messes with the Duchy other than that time Grem messed with the Duchy? Ain't bad, is all I'm saying. Oh, also, Catherine has a sick duel this chapter and at one point there's a fun surprise that straight throat ruptures her, so that's fun.

  33. 149

    Chapter 25 (3): Intent

    This is such a well named chapter, at least at first, because they do be in tent. That's how armies tend to house themselves.

  34. 148

    Chapter 24 (3): Vanguard

    When you gotta protect your van, who ya gonna call?THE VANGUARD!

  35. 147

    Heroic Interlude: Injunction

    Injunction Junction, what's your function? Freeing all the slaves thanks to the priestess' unction!

  36. 146

    Villainous Interlude: Decorum

    I 'ardly know 'im!

  37. 145

    Villainous Interlude: Exeunt

    In which the Fae fall like chaff and also reap like scythes. It's impressive and terrifying.

  38. 144

    Extra Chapter: Deadhand

    I actually have played M. Kart at this point. I was the cow and honestly the character delights me.

  39. 143

    Interlude: Apprentice

    What's hotter? Summer, or a woman mad with power?

  40. 142

    Chapter 23 (3): Reassessment

    Ranker is a nasty little thing, but then we meet Kegan who is a nasty little thing. It's a good chapter.

  41. 141

    Chapter 22 (3): Govern

    Governing, it would seem based on this chapter, is the art of letting other people govern while you go meet yet other people where they are governing. Truly a delicate practice.

  42. 140

    Chapter 21 (3): Example

    We have fun on this show, but for real: don't nail people to things. It's unkind.

  43. 139

    Chapter 20 (3): Skew

    Isn't a SKU like some kinda think when shopping? I'm gonna check it out, maybe we'll all learn something.I did research. It's a Stock Keeping Unit, so it's like a barcode. It's prolly relevant to this chapter because money has serial numbers and it's kinda about the treasury. Cool stuff!

  44. 138

    Chapter 19 (3): Order (Redux)

    "Thank the gods you're awake! It's been months!""Oh boy, I'm so excited to walk through Laure under a fractious combo of martial law and Praesi coup!"

  45. 137

    Chapter 18 (3): Crack

    It's only fair to assume that the title is a reference to John Darnielle's hit song "Sudden Oak Death" wherein the lyric When the crack sounds in the woods, you will know that I'm down for good. Because this is the chapter where Catherine's pair a' more is down for good. This is the kind of intertextuality you can only get on PGTEE.

  46. 136

    Chapter 17 (3): Allegiance

    I pledge allegianceTo the HorseOf the occupied Kingdom of CallowAnd to the KnightsFor which it neighsOne quadrupedUnder the godsFull of stringsWith broken legs and panic for all

  47. 135

    Chapter 16 (3): Shambles

    I'll be real: it sounds very wrong to me to say "a shambles." It's "in shambles." This is another big L for the Brits, who are also wrong about The Magna Carta. "There's no 'the' in Latin!" Yeah, so? That's not how languages work. Do you not say "the" Kremlin? Grow up.

  48. 134

    Villainous Interlude: Stormfront

    A short king, a shorter king, and the Bard's thing

  49. 133

    Extra Chapter: Raid

    Now goblins are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted. They make no beautiful things, but they make many clever ones. They can tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled dwarves, when they take the trouble, though they are usually untidy and dirty.

  50. 132

    Villainous Interlude: Proscenium

    Getchur amatuer scenia outta here!
