Chapter 44-3: Life and Death

[Witch_Doctor]

What was the noise? I can't make anything out and listening to it over and over for too long is not going to happen.

It sounded like something fell in the distance. Sort of a metallic sound. Victor asks Micheal 'what is it' and Micheal responds with something like, maybe nothing.

Seems to me that the Pelican will be the one to outlast everyone else

Eh hem, That's the Millennium Pelican. The very one that R2Datu repaired the hyper-drive on.

Was it hard killing your wife off not trying to be morbid or rude just wondering

The decision wasn't, because it was determined a LONG time ago, but the process was. I had to listen to her die more than most, and then also perform the foley of Saul with her dying, so it was rough. I knew if I was still effected by it the 20th listen through, I knew it would be one of our strongest moments in the series.

Hmm, So the story is Micheals version of 'How I met your mother'?
As in Uncle Michael is telling the story to Nicholas.

I guess they can feed baby Nicholas on Pegs cow milk and "Dogs" goat milk.

Strongest moment is an understatement. Kc, that scene was masterfully executed. Sauls performance was perfect.

I mostly lurk here, but had to post for this one. I have never reacted to anything outside of real life tragedy the way I just reacted to that scene.

Wow. I am minutes removed from listening and am still crying. I am a grown man that has seen and experienced horrific things that have not affected me in this way. I felt like I was there. It was so real to me. It might have a something to do with my wife being pregnant again after having a baby a year ago but...wow.

Im, I, I dont know, I can't even express myself right now. My god that was painful. Im scared to listen to it again.

Bravo everyone. That episode will be hard to beat.

Trying to analyze it (cuz that's what I do), there's no single thing that's not true of other shows/podcasts; yet my reaction has been way more intense than I would have anticipated.

Is this is the "catharsis" that they talk about in Greek Tragedies? I'm trying to figure it out.

• It's aural--I have to use my imagination in a way that's similar to reading. I vividly imagine the story--which makes it more real to me. I know I find the sound design fascinating.
• I've been listening for a while now; so I've developed a faux relationship to the characters.
• The acting was astounding; I didn't have to dismiss any "off notes" to distract me from the experience.

The thing is, I didn't find myself saying "boy, that's an amazing performance" or "wow, that sounds so realistic" so much as just experienced it. There's something in this episode that, for want of a better word, transcends.

I thought he was talking about Datu

Can we PLEASE stop spoiling the finale of HIMYM for those of us that haven't seen it yet?! Jeez, it ended not even two weeks ago!!!

I'm starting to feel that Saul is going to go into a deep depression in the next episode/s, and form a sort of shell not even Tanya can break.....

Like Rick during season 3 of The Walking Dead.

I don't think he'll have time. The Pelican is en route to the Colony, where we know Scratch is about to make her move. Shits gonna hit the fan in the next chapter
