It’s a new year and we are back with season 2 episode 11, in which we meet some new characters, Izzy eats soup, Valentine is locked in the basement, and Jace has all the feels.
In which we learn that our living room echoes terribly and that alcohol makes us less talkative rather than more – what’s up with that??
We are unsure about the success of this as a podcast episode, but it sure as hell works as a drinking game! After nearly a full bottle of rum, we ponder starting a second podcast, lament the fact that whatever we do in life, we will never be as cool and pretty as Maia Roberts, realise that people say ‘The Clave’ way too often and Michelle relives painful childhood chewing gum related memories…
Also, who are Clace and Jerry?
If you want to play along, the rules are here. Please make sure to drink responsibly. Look after yourself. Play the game in your home with friends you trust. If you don’t drink alcohol, you can play with soft drinks, chocolates (helps clear out that Christmas stash!) or our personal favourite: sherbet.
And if you are drinking alcohol, don’t forget to drink a pint of water before going to bed. You’ll be grateful in the morning.
Our Season 2a round up turned into a monster! tDiE 19a discussed our main characters, and this episode is looking at relationships, behind the scenes stuff such as costumes, and what Magnus’ clothes are saying about him, our 2a favourite scene, episode and season MVP as well as your thoughts!
Thanks to everyone who’s been with us this year. We hope you have a wonderful festive period and we will speak to you Friday 29th December, with our Drinking Game – the last episode of tDiE for 2017!
Our Season 2a round up turned into a monster, so tDiE 19a discusses our main characters, with a fun game and many, many hats!
For listening ease, we have listed where each character discussion starts, so you have natural stopping places or can skip straight to the characters you want to hear about
By the Light of Dawn, the Season 2a finale, leads us to discuss the weirdness of half seasons and half seasons finales, like two grannies complaining that ‘this kind of thing didn’t happen when we were young…’.
We spend a lot of this episode talking about diversity and representation on television, take a stroll down memory lane reminiscing about BBC’s Merlin, turn into a bit of a PSA about Society, Sexuality and Diversity, before asking the question on the tip of everyone’s tongue… Why exactly are there angelic power cores in all of the institutes? What do they do? And how were they built?
This is your last chance to VOTE IN OUR DRINKING GAME and decide exactly how drunk we are going to get…
We discuss Bound By Blood, in which, turns out, many things are weird and/or uncomfortable.
Alec’s random stab in the dark guess at his boyfriend’s age is weird. Maia decision to kill Clary is uncomfortable. Aldertree is weird and uncomfortable (No surprise there). Luke’s decision to lock Maia in a cupboard to punish her is off the charts uncomfortable… And then we open the box of Parabatai feelings and implications…
We campaign early on to buyjaceapuppy.com but in hindsight, I think it should be buyusapuppy.com, as furry cuddles might make everything better.
This episode is unreasonably long. Sorry about that!
Turns out brilliant Malec & Climon relationship development, a party put on by Mr. Bane, sangria, lots of cats, Lightwood family drama, sangria, drug addiction and, oh yes, a suicide attempt, will do that to a podcast.
Have we mentioned the sangria?
We had a vote and the majority wanted the episode in one go, rather than split in half. If you are looking for a natural moment to break the episode, our discussion of the party and the bottle part of the episode starts at 52 minutes.
