I must say, I am having a hard time with this one. The previous installment had something better going on: the journals for the original series, and the narrator for Lockdown and Goldrush. Here, without a narrating voice it ends up being very confusing, at least for me, especially in the action scenes: it becomes just a sequence of noises and screams, very difficult to follow. Even outside action scenes, I am often confused. For example, in this episode, when they go to the map on the wall, and then they come back to find their assignments: there are flashbacks of them walking with Alvin explaining about the different biomes, but when did that happen? We were with them on their way to the map and it was very short; did it happen on their way back? Why is Will speaking, then, at some point? He remained in the room with the map, he was not with them. Why is he there?

I don't know, I find it much more difficult to follow and therefore much more difficult to be in immersion/to buy into the story.
Also a bit dismal that there is nobody here anymore! Is the discussion somewhere else, like on a Discord server or something?
I agree with you that the podcast is definitely harder to follow now. Also yes there is a Discord now! Check the website and open up the community tab and you'll find a link there.
