I like this moment so much.
Warren doesn't see Bryony as someone pathetic or incapable because of her condition. He doesn't succumb to her manipulations not because he thinks she's weak, he's just outgrown them. And I think it's because he's been in her place. He's been seen as someone incapable, as someone weak and wrong, as an object. He won't show her any support but he won't treat her as she treated him either.
Also, not related to my first point. Warren only mentions the way she looks once during the entire scene. However, Bryony mentions her appearance all the time. She is very conscious about the way she looks and it's clearly a very sensitive subject to her. But she doesn't want anyone too close to her actual feelings, so she makes jokes about it as a defence mechanism.
I'm not getting anywhere with this, I just think she's so real for only having violence and sarcasm as her defence options.
OK OK OK OH MY GOD. I'm actually crying. It was such a beautiful episode... A bit heartbreaking but beautiful.
Don't want to accidentally spoil anything so! Cut!
I really think I can draw some parallels between Jade and Warren and analyze everything properly but like. I can't right now. This podcast makes me too emotional to think.
Ok but big thoughts aside!!! Clive and Pam!!! Oh how she hates him I can feel it. My favorite morally fucked up people.
And Waffles!! My light and joy!!! Everyone likes Waffles!!!!
GORD is the funniest little guy in the world and must be protected.
Malcolm is a bitch and I think it feels awful for him to hear Gordon's voice instead of Rebecca's from Blue Sky. And that's part of the reason he's such a hater. Malcolm is the type to say the most disrespectful shit and then be like OH WELL IT'S A FREE COUNTRY INNIT. And honestly? Grandpa energy.
Hester is the sweetest and I really want to hear more from her she's so cool and like??? Motherly??? Idk she's awesome.
AND WDYM THEY WENT INTO HYPERSLEEP. Like it's great that they explained it because I was kind of lost with calculating their ages but DUDE.
Jade makes me cry but like I'm grateful??? It's amazing and heart touching and I'm a mess about her.
And well... Uhm... Don't really know how I feel about the visiting Gordon part. Plus I don't think it would be easy for Warren to even enter the cryosuite. It was mentioned that the security system is over complicated and like??? He just went there??? Didn't really get that.
All in all, happy Red Valley day to those who celebrate! I'm so excited!!!
What if 'would-you-rather' questions come back once Gordon emerges from hypersleep?? What if Gordon actually is amnesiac and those questions are the only thing connecting Warren to the man he knew??? What if Warren checks his answers and realizes they're just the same? And what if he realized they're not???? What then?????
Man I miss my good friend Gordon Porlock so much. I hope he comes back soon.
“kill them with kindness” WRONG. cryopod 🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️⚰️
He's free, he's barefoot, he's 3 apples tall and he can't see shit because I haven't made him glasses and have no idea how to. Gordon Bloody Porlock, is he a doll or what???
everyone shut up and look at this
I honestly envy people that didn't find Red Valley that good. Like I can't imagine not being obsessed with this podcast. I have a life to live, I have hobbies, I have other interests, but I just can't get this masterpiece out of my head. Honestly concerning. Has to be one of my greatest hyperfixations of all time.
